A Mass of Christian Burial will be held 2:00 p.m. Monday, October 10, 2011, at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Danbury, Iowa, under the direction of Christensen-Huffman Funeral Homes.

Visitation will be held at the church on Sunday, beginning with a Rosary at 4 p.m., and ending with a Scripture Service at 7 p.m. The family will be present.

Born January 2, 1927, in Danbury, Iowa, Shirley Catherine Wright was the third of five children born to Thomas Edward and Anne Lena (Schimmer) Kennaley. She graduated in 1945 from Danbury High School and then attended Morningside College in Sioux City. She earned her teaching certificate and taught in country schools and later at Auburn, Lanesboro and Schleswig.

On August 14, 1951, Shirley married Merle Leland Wright of Sac City, Iowa, in the priest's house of St. Mary's Catholic Church in Danbury. She and Merle were the proud parents of nine children, six girls and three boys. Shirley was very active in St. Mary's Catholic Church, serving as a Circle leader, as a substitute teacher, as a member of the Rosary Society, and as a cook at the Danbury Catholic Grade School along with Marilyn Boyle and later with her daughter Diane Varner.

Shirley and Shad loved to bowl and both were members of bowling leagues for several years. She also enjoyed cards and square dancing and she and her husband were members of both clubs. After retiring as school cook, Shirley worked for the town of Danbury processing the town water bills and as the town librarian for 25 years, seceding her position to her daughter in law, JoLynn (Ned) Wright. One of her favorite memories was the trip to Ireland she and her two sisters took. They traveled with college students and were referred to as the "Three Sisters." Shirley thoroughly enjoyed her 21 grandchildren and her 17 great-grandchildren.

Shirley was preceded in death by her husband Merle (Shad); her parents; a son-in-law, Johnny Arndt; two brothers, Pat Kennaley and Bob Kennaley; sisters- and brothers-in-law, Helen and Gale Henson, Peggy Kennaley, and Ron Jones; and nephews, Jerry Grell, Donnie Henson, and Jeff Henson.

Passed Away - Warren H. Evans



Warren H. Evans
September 29, 1930 - September 29, 2011
Sac City, IA


Warren Howard “Grandpa” Evans, age 81, of Sac City, IA, passed away Thursday, September 29, 2011, at St. Luke’s Regional Medical Center in Sioux City, IA. Memorial services will be held at a later date. Farber and Otteman Funeral Home of Sac City is in charge of the arrangements.

Warren Howard Evans was born on September 29, 1930, to parents Arthur and Edna (Jensen) Evans in Yakima, WA.

Warren was inducted into the U.S. Army serving our country from 1951-1952. After being honorably discharged, he began working for Safeway in Kirkland, WA, as a night clerk for the next 42 years. Warren also worked for Skate King in Bellevue, WA for 37 years before moving to Iowa in July 2011 to be near his daughter.

Warren loved making up stories using himself as the character and telling jokes to make others around him laugh. He always loved to pull a good prank. His family remembers him always telling the same joke, “you have a hole in your sock,” said a co-worker from Skate King. He was one of the best because he always has a smile and loved to cheer people up. He was as quick with his smiles as he was with his humor. He will be greatly missed and wonderfully remembered.

Warren is survived by his children: Jeff Evans of WA and Vickie (Evans) Pelsor of Sac City, IA; five grandchildren; two nieces; two nephews; and many great-nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents: Arthur and Edna Evans; brother: Arnie Evans; and sister: Geri (Evans) Ray.
