Veda Mae Barger Webb, 66, El Dorado Springs, was born May 14, 1941, to Homer and Ina Barger in Collins. She passed away June 1, 2007, at St. Johns Medical Center after an extended illness.

Veda was saved at Arrat School House on Oct. 7, 1956. She was a life-long member of Hazel Dell Missionary Baptist church. Veda's life was built around her church, family and her two precious granddaughters to whom she was known as Nana. Written on her last Mother's Day card from them, “God can be everywhere but he also invented Nana's. You are a Healthy Rose.”
Veda leaves behind her loving husband, Carl; son, Carl Wayne; daughter, Brenda, and husband D. J. Ford; two granddaughters, Emily and Amy Ford; three brothers, Albert Barger and wife, Barbara; John Barger and wife, Sharon, and Sam Barger and wife, Margie - El Dorado Springs; two sisters, Mary Leedy and husband, Roy, of Billings MT and Joyce Wright and husband, Dwayne - Stockton; nieces, nephews and many friends.

Judith I. Witt
Judith I. Witt, 58, Olathe, KS, was born March 24, 1959, to Ione and Lyle Greenwood in Nampa, ID. She passed away June 2, 2007, at her home.
Judy grew up in Berthoud, CO before moving to the Kansas City area in 1982. She was a member of the Church of God of Holiness of Overland Park.
Judy was preceded in death by her infant daughter, Tonya I. Witt, and her mother, Ione Greenwood. She is survived by her husband of 31 years, Larrel G. Witt, of the home; son, Marcus E. Witt, Overland Park, KS; daughter, Oleta D. Witt, of the home; father, Lyle and his wife, Sharon Greenwood, Superior, NE; two sisters, Linda Purcell, Quitaque, Ohio Street. Wayne, Howard and Joan, and Wyona all worked together to share the caring responsibilities and were faithful in their loving care. But at age 94, most of her children were already senior citizens themselves – and Golden was especially blessed to have her two beloved granddaughters, Jan Nelsen and Joyce Heuser who provided her with that tender loving care which only they could give.
Golden's life provides her family with the legacy of a strong faith passed on to the fifth generation; a woman of valor who always persevered in the hardest of times; a faithful love that blessed her parents, husband, children and her many, many grandchildren; and, her famous brilliant humor that brought laughter to us all - but no one could laugh better than she!
Golden and her husband owned and operated the Royal Cafe for 10 years in the 60's and early 70's. They charged 75 cents for a full dinner with a smile, salad and coffee. Old timers often recalled the wonderful meals served at the McPeak home during threshing time and the cafe gave Golden the opportunity to share her joy and delight of cooking and baking and her love for people. She became widely known for her homemade chicken and noodles, delicious pies, angel food cakes, banana pudding and cinnamon rolls, which would find their way to the monthly church dinners.
Golden passed her time in later years crocheting, working in her vegetable garden and tending to her many house plants. A grandson, Loren Nelsen, remembering her green thumb, suggested to their children that they plant a plant in memory of their grandmother, to remind them of her love.
Preceding Golden in death were her parents; her husband, Theodore; a brother and sister in-law, James and Margie (Mann) Austin; a daughter, Helen Elnora Jobson; son-in-law, Royal Nelsen; a daughter-in-law, Jill Cartier; granddaughters-in-law, Beth McPeak and Ronetta McPeak and a great-great grandson, Ethan Madden.
Survivors include her seven children - Wyona Belle Nelsen, David Howard McPeak (Joan), Mildred Florence Veach (Paul), Theodore Wayne McPeak, James Monroe McPeak (Pat), Victor Scott McPeak (Elizabeth), and Golden Roxie, Jr. Kennedy (Phil); 29 grandchildren; 52 great-grandchildren; and 30 great-great grandchildren; along with a host of step-great and great-great grandchildren; other friends and relatives. She had the special joy of having her 30th great-great grandchild, Kole Lorenz, born on her 94th birthday, this Oct. 10. She also leaves behind a sister-in-law, Thelma McPeak and three nieces - Kay Lewis (Tom), Myrta Crosswhite (Ralph) and Zenial Hertzberg (Milton), as well as a host of cousins, other relatives and friends who have fond memories of her.
So this is how our mother, grandmother, friend, spent her dash.
She set the bar for each of us to follow before our time is past.
So think about this long and hard, are there things you'd like to change,
For you never know how much time is left, you could be at dash mid-range,
If we could just slow down enough to consider what's true and real,
And always try to understand the way other people feel,
And be less quick to anger and show appreciation more,
And love the people in our lives like we've never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect and more often wear a smile,
Remembering that this special dash might only last a while,
So when your eulogy's being read with your life's actions to rehash,
Would you be proud as we are of Mother and the way she spent her dash.
