Phyllis Kay Holmes 1952 - 2023

Christopher Lee Flattery, 68 of Onaga passed away on Friday, March 24, 2023 at Community Hospital Onaga.

Chris was born February 25, 1955 in Winfield, KS to Joseph and Nina Lee Flattery. He went to St Mary’s Catholic School in Derby, KS until the third grade when his family moved to Lakewood, WA.&nbsp; In Lakewood, Chris and his brother Rick, enjoyed playing many sports including baseball and basketball together. In 1971, the family moved back to Derby where Chris finished out high school.&nbsp;

It was his Senior year at Derby High School, that Chris met, the love of his life, Vicki Ottaway. Chris was a star athlete both in high school and at Friends University in Wichita, KS where he attended on a basketball scholarship. Chris graduated from Friends University in 1977 with a bachelor of business administration.

Chris and Vicki married on November 5, 1977 at the Assumption of St Mary’s Catholic Church, Derby, KS. They resided in Wichita, KS until they moved to Topeka, KS in 1978 for Chris to attend Washburn Law School.&nbsp; Chris graduated with his law degree in 1981 and accepted a job practicing law with Wayne Stallard in Onaga, KS.

Chris practiced law in Onaga for 6 years. During that time, he spent a term being the assistant County Attorney for Pottawatomie County.&nbsp; Chris enjoyed helping others through the law and creating ties to the area.

In 1987, he decided to make a bold move and join Vicki full time in her family business. Chris and Vicki, with her brother Danny and sister Sandra continued to build and run Ottaway Amusement Company. Chris took particular pride in the Century Wheel, a 65 foot ferris wheel that he was the foreman of until he was 60 years old. His caramel apples were a work of art and he also made a mean corndog. Traveling with the carnival gives you a sense of family and Chris’s carnival family reached far and wide. He made many friends over those years and looked forward to seeing familiar faces at each location that the carnival traveled to.&nbsp;

Basketball was a lifelong passion of Chris’s as well as mentoring youth.&nbsp; This led him to Havensville Grade School where he was the coach of the both the Junior High girls and boys teams starting in 1987. In his 15 years as a “Tiger” he coached over 300 kids including his own three children, Laney, Carly and Tim. He spent countless hours after school helping develop the love of the game and teaching sportsmanship and respect.

Chris believed in his community and was always looking for ways to bring value to our area. He served on the Rural Communities Foundation and the Community Hospital Onaga Board. But his biggest community accomplishment was Cool Springs Golf Course. He and Vicki opened the 9 hole course in 2000. Chris loved playing men’s league and shooting the breeze in the clubhouse. They sold Cool Springs to the City of Onaga in 2008 and golfers are still getting challenged on hole 7 to this day.

Chris and Vicki retired at the end of the 2017 carnival season. This gave them more time to travel, enjoy each other and spend time with their children and granddaughters Ingrid, Bridgette and Charlotte.

Chris was someone who gave his all with everything he did. His sense of humor was unmatched and he always a smile for everyone. Chris always believed in the power of a team where together everyone achieves more.

Chris was preceded in death by his parents.

Other survivors include two daughters, Laney Heiberg (Shaun), Wichita and Carly van Gooswilligen (Robert), Havensville, a son, Timothy Flattery (Cole Bredehoeft), Columbus, OH, one brother, Richard Flattery, Lakewood, WA and three grandchildren, Ingrid, Bridgette and Charlotte van Gooswilligen.

Mass of Christian Burial will be 10:00 a.m. Tuesday, March 28th&nbsp;at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church. Burial will follow in the Fairview Cemetery. Chris will lie in state from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Monday at the Chapel Oaks Funeral Home in Onaga. Family and friends will meet from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. Monday at the church, where a Rosary will follow at 7:00 p.m.

Bryon "B" Foster 1982 - 2023

Nancy Jane Dorrel left her earthly home on March 23, 2023 at the age of 95. Nancy was born the youngest child of John William and Gladys Silvey on August 11, 1927 in Nettleton, MO. She was the baby sister to three older brothers Marvin, Dean and Charles and spoke fondly of their Nettleton years. 

She married Carlos Wayne Dorrel on January 12, 1949. They built their home and farm in Hamilton and happily remained there for 51 years. They moved to Liberty, MO in 2000 and were married for 70 years when Carlos passed in January 2019.

Carlos and Nancy had two children: Wayne (Ann) Dorrel of Kidder and Carol (Ken) Graham of Platte City; five grandchildren Bryan (Crystal) Dorrel, Leslie Dorrel, Erin (Justin) Talley, Elissa (Tyler) Bottles and Josh (Jodie) Graham; thirteen great grandchildren; six great, great grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.

Nancy enjoyed staying active in the business of farming until Carlos retired and they began traveling in their fifth wheel. She loved school and remained a student of number crunching, avid reading and telling of generational stories all of her years. She was practical in every way and would tell her family with every parting, “Do good, be good and have fun”. Until we meet again — we love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck.

Celebration of Life will be held on April 1 at 2 p.m. at the Hamilton Federated Church, 210 S. Davis Street in Hamilton, MO.
