Alene,

I found the verse below that I have kept for years. I turn to it from time to time and just wanted to share it. God Bless You in your time of sorrow and loss. You know I am just a "shout out" or phone call away, always.........
God saw you were getting tired and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around you and whispered "Come with me." With tearful eyes we watched you quickly fade away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best. It's lonesome here without you, we miss you more each day. Life doesn't seem the same since you have gone away. When days are sad and lonely and everything goes wrong, we seem to hear you whisper "Cheer up and Carry On." Each time we see your picture you seem to smile and say "Don't cry, I'm in God's hands - We'll meet again someday." A million times we've missed you and a million times we've cried. If love could have saved you - You never would have died.

He was very adamant about giving God the praise and would insist that the Saints get on their feet and praise God. Wardell enjoyed playing the drums and maintained the position for many years. He divided his talent between playing drums and singing. After singing in the choir for many years he accepted the position of Minister Of Music at First Church of Christ. He was a dedicated vocalist and had a unique powerful voice. He served as a Deacon for approximately eleven years, enjoyed Sunday School and inspired others to use their talents. He would often say "Let's Have Church " and sometimes "Come On, Get on Your Feet"!

James Lucky

Longtime Nowata, OK resident James Lucky, 84 was called home to be with the Lord on Tuesday, November 29, 2016 at Jane Phillips Nowata Hospital.

James was born on June 11, 1932 to Luther Lucky and Mary Scott Lucky in rural Wagoner, OK. His mother died when he was an infant, leaving his father to raise him and his sister.

After graduating from Wagoner High School, he enlisted in the U.S. Army on July 26, 1950 and transferred to the Army Reserve on December 25, 1952. After serving in the Korean War, he received an honorable discharge on October 17, 1956.

At an early age, the family moved to Detroit, Michigan, where Virgil completed most of his education. In 1968, just before his senior year of high school, the family relocated to Ottawa, Kansas.

In 2004, Dr. Horn was cited by the Coffeyville Chamber of Commerce as Educator of the Year, and in 2013 served as President of the Coffeyville Ministerial Alliance.

Dr. Horn was employed by USD # 455 for 22 years, 15 of which he was director of NADO (New Alternative Direction Opportunities), a school for students who struggled in a regular classroom setting and was founded by Dr. Horn.

Virgil Horn was preceded in death by both his parents and his brother, Vernell Horn. However, he leaves to cherish his memory his loving wife of 25 years, Paulette, eight children: Tyronne (Barbara) Burnett, Rahshae DeCasta, Amber (Kendall) Bean, Christopher (Tavorra) Horn, Michael (Jamie) Horn, Jacquelyn (Marvin) Henderson, Phillip (Kayela) Horn, and Matthew Horn, 24 grandchildren and a host of other relatives, dear friends and loved ones.

I was just searching this morning after work for a good telephone number to reach Dr Horn at. He put me on the right path and taught me at NADO how to believe in myself. He used to say things like &quot;I'm so proud of you&quot; or Come on miss Ann-Marie, you're very smart, I know you can do this&quot; and &quot;I believe in you&quot;
I realize Dr Horn was this way with everyone, but the condition I came to his class in was rather mangled most days. I was between 6&amp;9 months of having my first child, in an abusive relationship, and too far from home. The impact that this man's kind words had on my life is one that I will cherish all my days... Fly high with the angels good Dr. you will be dearly missed untill that faithful day when we all see you again in heavenly father's house... Oh what a happy reunion that will be :) if you find time, hug Jesus fr me, look down on my with God by your side, and if it's not too much to ask, Pray for me as I will be praying for you. Rest in peace my good doctor...

To: Paulette &amp; Family:
Rev. Horn was truly a very encouraging person to our family and Dorthy Hendrix family. He was there during our fathers' death and gave full support during our mothers' Alzheimers and her death. We all loved Rev. Horn and Paulette &amp; family. We will miss him but find peace &amp; encouragement that he no longer is suffering with his illness. Our deepest condolences to all the family. We will be there!

I have fought the good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. 11Timothy 4:7. I was very saddened to hear of the passing of Rev. Horn. I was blessed to be a member of his congregation. He was a kind and compassionate man of God. His presence will be missed by all who knew him. My sincere condolences to Paulette, his children and grandchildren. May God’s grace and mercy strengthen you in the days ahead.

To: Sister Paulette Horn and family.

&quot;But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.&quot;

I Corinthians 2:9

The life and legacy of Pastor Horn will remain in our hearts. We are thankful to God that he and Sister Horn were our daughter's spiritual watch-care leaders as a student in college. As we traveled many years going to Tulsa for my wife treatments, it was his testimonies and words of encouragement as well as Sister Horn's support as a caregiver to be a blessing to us both. It was through his sickness I was reminded of the man Job in the Bible, he never lost his integrity while going through the testing of his faith. He will be greatly missed by our family. We love you Sister Horn and are praying for your strength as the days go by. Continue to look unto Jesus the author and finisher of your faith. Our deepest sympathy and love to the entire family, Pastor Rev. &amp; Sister Nathan Jones and the girls, Nayletha &amp; Nayshona. Along with our congregation at Bethel Baptist Church, Kansas City, Kansas.

Gilbert or what I called him - &quot;Gilly Gil&quot; was a great guy. I remember I would see him walking up to the office and when I saw him coming I knew I would have to stop and talk for at least 5 to 10 minutes. That's just how he was he enjoyed talking to people especially his buddies. I was a buddy to Gilbert and we would have a good laugh almost every time we would see each other. Not only was he funny he was a caring guy that would always ask me how I was doing and how was my family for that I truly saw the kind of genuine person that he was. I will miss my buddy Gilly Gil but I know he is in a better place now and will not have to worry about pain or sickness anymore. See you again one day my friend until then I will keep your memories alive in my heart and soul. RIP Gilbert

To the entire extended Grigsby family, I extend to you my condolences and my prayers in this time of transition of your love one, Carl Grigsby. As I think of him, I recall a kind, gentle and dignified man. He was a wonderful person. My mother, Margaret Hutchinson, grew up with him in Quindaro. To this day she remembers him with fondness. When she speaks of &quot;Carl&quot; it is always in a tone and a way that I can tell he has a dear place in her heart. I know this is difficult to handle. Remember when sorrow is about to overtake you that you have a God to turn to that can help you through whatever you are facing. May God bless you and keep you.

Tommie Lee Dent

Tommie Lee Dent, 75, of Bartlesville, OK, Pastor of First Church of God in Christ in Chanute, KS, died Tuesday, September 28, 2021 in Bartlesville.

Daniel Richard Dent and Lula Mae (Dent) Boganey welcomed their one and only son Tommie L. Dent on October 20, 1945, in Coffeyville, KS. Tommie was raised in Coffeyville and later moved to live with his uncle and aunt Robert and Glady Folks in Wichita, KS and graduated from North High School.

Growing up he played the saxophone and was also involved in sports and played football. After graduation he enlisted in the Army and served in the Vietnam War. Tommie was wounded in battle and was awarded the Purple Heart. He received an Honorable discharge from the military and returned to civilian life. On September 18, 1972, he married Brenda (Scott) Dent who his sister Janice Dent introduced him to. The two moved to Kansas City, MO where he worked as a draftsman for Black and Veatch Engineering. Tommie was a member of St. Paul Baptist Church in Kansas City. In 1975, he and his family relocated to Bartlesville, OK where he worked at Phillips Petroleum Company's Research Center. He was employed with Phillips in Bartlesville as a supervisor until 1992 when he was transferred to the Drisco Pipes division of Phillips in Pryor where he worked until he retired.

She was always so sweet to all who came in contact with her. I remember Mr Brown was our trash service man and was just as nice. I played with Stevie in her yard and ours. She was a lady of grace and had a deep faith. I remember her at church , always impeccably dressed and beautiful. My sincere condolences to the family on the loss of this wonderful woman.

William Ramon McCarter (Pooman)

William Ramon McCarter , affectionately known as “Pooman,” was born on June 20, 1975 , in Chicago, Illinois, to William Rose and Bargie McCarter (King) . He passed away on January 2, 2026 at CRMC

In 1984, he relocated with his family to Coffeyville, Kansas , where he grew into a vibrant, talented, and unforgettable presence in the community. Pooman had a deep love for cooking and music—two passions that shaped his life and brought joy to everyone around him. He enjoyed being a DJ, loved music of all kinds, and sponsored major concerts throughout Coffeyville, Joplin, and the surrounding areas. Always sharply dressed and full of life, he was truly the heartbeat of every gathering.

Pooman’s culinary journey began at an early age under the guidance of his father, William “Skeet” Rose , who was the only Black male cook serving as lunchroom manager at Marshall High School. Inspired by his father’s skill and dedication, Pooman became a talented gourmet cook himself, later working for KFC and Casey’s .

His commitment to his community extended far beyond the kitchen. He coached little league football and basketball, proudly leading the Coffeyville Hot Shots and mentoring many young athletes who looked up to him.

He leaves to cherish his memory his loving mother, Bargie King , of the home; his brothers William Rose of Chicago, IL, Anthony (Ashley) Rose of Coffeyville, KS, and Markall (Savannah) McCarter of Tulsa, OK; and his sister Sheila (Orrin) Flowers of California.

He is also survived by his daughters Ashley McCarter of Chicago, IL, Justyce McWilliams of Kansas City, KS, Mykila Triplett and Anica Saunders of Joplin, MO, and Charlie McCarter and Kalonnie Guests of Wichita, KS; his sons Shamiah Triplett of Joplin, MO, and Malique McCarter of Sulphur Springs, TX.

His memory is further cherished by his aunts Mary Gordan and Darlene McCarter of Coffeyville, KS, and Rochelle (Carl) Roscoe of Kentwood, MI; his uncles Charles “Chuck” McCarter of Denver, CO, and Tony McCarter of Nashville, TN; five grandsons , three granddaughters ; stepsisters Kimberly King and Michelle King ; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who loved him dearly.

Pooman was preceded in death by his father William Rose , his grandmother Carrie McCarter , his grandfather Charles “Charlie T” McCarter , his uncle Mark McCarter , his son William Ramon McCarter Jr. , his stepfather Larry “Gert” King , and his stepbrother Lawrence King .

Pooman’s legacy lives on in the laughter he sparked, the meals he shared, the music he loved, and the countless lives he touched. His spirit will forever remain in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

Visitation will be Friday January 9th at Mission Funeral Services from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. located at 502 S. Union St.

Service will be Saturday, January 10th at Sardis First Missionary Baptist Church at 11 a.m. located at 708 E 2th Street.

Cora Green

Cora Lee Green

In Loving Memory of Cora Lee Sandra Cartwright Green

February 9 ^th , 1938 – July 28 ^th , 2026

With heavy hearts, but hearts filled with wonderful memories, we announce the passing of Cora Green , a gifted musician, a mother, a daughter, and respected member of the community, who passed away on July 28 ^th , 2026 at the age of 88.

Born on February 9 in Coffeyville, Kansas, Cora was blessed with a love for music from an early age. That passion inspired a lifelong journey devoted to sharing the beauty and power of music with others. After earning her degree from Pittsburg State University in Pittsburg, Kansas, she began a music career that spanned more than 60 years. While her dedication to music was strong, her anointing and faith in God remained the guiding force of her life.

As a music teacher in the Washington D.C. area and later in Coffeyville, Cora will be remembered for sharing her musical gifts and talents with numerous church choirs and for inspiring her students to develop the same love of music that she cherished throughout her life.

Beyond the classroom, Cora was a vibrant presence in the arts community. While living in the Washington, D.C. area, she participated in musical theater with the Allen Group, and after relocating to Coffeyville, she continued sharing her love of music as a member of a traveling quartet. However, many will look back with affection on her years with the community choir Inspirational Voices, under the direction of Sister Renee Franklin.

Cora will be remembered not only for musical excellence but also for her humor and ability to bring people together at her many years employed by Walmart. The memories she made with coworkers and the Coffeyville community will continue to resonate for years to come. We are better because of her contributions and the joy she shared with others.

Cora’s parents Eliza and Russel Cartwright taught her to love life but more importantly to love God. They took her to church as a child and through her childhood and as an adult she continued to be ever present in the house of the Lord. Revelation 20:13 reveals that “they were judged every man according to his works.” We fervently hope that Cora’s good works were pleasing in the sight of God, and he will say to his child, “Well done thy good and faithful servant.”

Cora is survived by her son, Marlon Green, and his wife, Cynthia; her granddaughters, Nia Green, Mariah Tabron and her husband, Martez Tabron, and Amari Green; her step granddaughter, Kianna Smith; three great-grandchildren; her sister, Ladonna Melton; and a host of beloved nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, Eliza and Russell Cartwright, her sister, Teresa Gilmore, and her brother, Riley Cartwright.

Viewing will be Thursday, August 20 at Mission Funeral Services 502 S. Union from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

A memorial service celebrating Cora's life will be held on August 21st at First Church of God in Christ Family Worship Center 2802 W. 1 ^st St. Coffeyville KS at 11:00 am.

Though the final note has been played, Cora’s legacy lives on in every student inspired, every song remembered, and every heart touched by her gift of music.
