Catherine (Kitty) Pricilla Fixx was born on September 18, 1934 in New York City. 

She and her brother, James (Jimmy) Fixx, bestselling author of “The Complete Book of Running,” grew up in a loving home in Jackson Heights, NY. Her father, Calvin Fixx, was an editor at Time Magazine and their mother, Marlys Fuller Fixx, had been a ballerina. 

Kitty grew up surrounded by her parent’s friends, influential journalists, poets, artists, and creative thinkers, (dubbed the “interstitial intellectuals" by Robert Vanderlan in his 2010 book), who inspired her lifelong interest in painting, drawing and poetry. 

As a young girl, Kitty studied portraiture under the tutelage of the prolific artist, Boris Chaliapin. Chaliapin encouraged her to pursue her artistic talent, and at the young age of 11, Kitty rode the train into NYC weekly to study at The Art Students League of America. Her love of tennis was born at the Garden Country Day School in Queens where she and her brother, Jimmy, developed a friendly rivalry that lasted well into their adulthood.

Her father died when she was 13, and she and her mother moved to Oberlin, Ohio where Kitty pursued a degree in early education. After graduating from Oberlin College, she taught in Venezuela and Florida before marrying Walter Davis and moving with him to Verona, New Jersey, and then Santa Barbara, California. Her children, Martha and Tom, were added to the family in Santa Barbara before moving to Winchester, Massachusetts. After divorcing, Kitty remarried and moved back to Santa Barbara.

She was a creative person with a lifelong passion for painting, drawing, and writing. She loved tennis and running and was into healthy eating before it was in vogue. She served on the board of the Inherited High Cholesterol Foundation, for many years. She was an equally fervent activist, going door to door in the '70s to petition for school integration through the METCO program. She loved God and worshipped at the Episcopal church, where she was often a lay reader. She was an amazing mother who loved her children unconditionally and sacrificially. She lived many adventures and enjoyed deep friendships with kindred spirits. 

After the difficult loss of her 96-year-old mother with whom she shared a deep and abiding bond, some cognitive issues began which resulted in the diagnosis of dementia in 2009. After living with her daughter in Los Angeles, she later moved to Kansas to be closer to her son with whom she lived surrounded by her son, daughter-in-law and four grandchildren. 

passed away peacefully in Salina, Kansas on Sunday, November 13, 2022.

She is survived by her children: Martha Davis of Los Angeles and Tom Davis of Salina, KS; her daughter-in-law Kat, grandchildren Kara, Kate, Summer, and Zachariah, as well as her niece Betsy and nephews Paul, John and Stephen. 

She was preceded in death by her father Calvin Fixx, her mother Marlys Fuller Fixx and her brother James Fixx; also by her husband Walter Davis and her second husband James Bower.

Funeral services will be held privately at a later date.

<a href="https://www.carlsonfh.net/obituaries/Donna-Anderson?obId=26354033#/obituaryInfo">8-11-1937 Obituary - Visitation &amp; Funeral Information (carlsonfh.net)</a>

<a href="https://www.carlsonfh.net/obituaries/Donna-Anderson?obId=26354033#/obituaryInfo"></a>August 11, 1937 - November 11, 2022

Though she may have been small in stature, Donna Anderson’s love and kindness, grace and dignity were immeasurable. It is with heavy hearts that we announce the death of our beloved mother and grandmother, sister-in-law, aunt and friend, Donna Joleen Anderson on November 11 in Salina, Kansas.

Donna was a surprise to her parents, Earl and Pearl White, when she joined their family of five children, Bob, Ray, Almeda, Aline, and Tommy on August 11, 1937.&nbsp; Donna grew up in Abilene, Kansas and graduated in 1955.&nbsp; 

She was determined to be a nurse and after working at Memorial Hospital during high school, she went on to Bethany School of Nursing in Kansas City, Kansas. Before she graduated, her father succumbed to cancer in 1958.&nbsp; When Donna finished nursing school, she came home to Abilene to help out her mother; but while working in a doctor’s office in Enterprise, she met Myron “Andy” Anderson.

After a brief courtship, Donna and Myron married on March 1, 1959.&nbsp; Their family grew with their five children, Terry, Scott (Mary Anne), Tamra (Dan Hocker), Jon (Holly), and Darla (Mike Hoover). 

The Andersons moved from town to town in Kansas, and later brief stints in Nebraska and Illinois, finally settling in Topeka for 20 years. Because Donna was an R.N., she never had trouble finding work, and did every type of nursing job from obstetrics in Abilene to nursing homes in Salina, and Home Health Care in Topeka.

The most important job that Donna had, though, was being a wife, mother and grandmother. Her husband was devoted to her and she to him for 52 years. She loved her children and taught them Christian values by modeling them herself. Later, she would travel across the country, from Hutchinson to Arkansas to Texas to California, to help her children with their own children. Her husband, children, and grandchildren would never be able to find a superlative word to describe how much she meant to them. They loved her as much as she loved them.

Myron died in 2011, and Donna moved into McCall Manor (now Reflections Resort) in Salina, Kansas. Donna shared friendships with many of the residents and staff. There, as in every other of her endeavors, she left a lasting impression.

Small in stature, but big in heart. That was Donna Anderson.

In addition to Myron, she was preceded in death by her parents, her siblings, three nephews, her grandson Ryan, and daughter-in-law Debbie.

Donna’s survivors include her five children, 13 of her grandchildren, their spouses, and their children, two sisters-in-law (Edwina Anderson and Carolyn Hossfeld), and several nieces and nephews including Ruth Fritton and Patricia Warner.

Sometime in April, Donna’s children will hold a graveside service at the Lutheran Cemetery in Enterprise, Kansas. 

Memorials can be made to Brookwood Covenant Church in Topeka, Kansas in care of Carlson-Geisendorf Funeral Home.

Janet J. Koster 

Melvin H. Brummer was born to Louis and Marie (Schroeder) Brummer on May 20, 1937 in Tipton. He passed away on November 8, 2022 at the Resident Care Center in Beloit, KS at the age of 85.&nbsp;

Melvin grew up on a farm south of Tipton as the fifth of nine children where they learned a lot about farm life, faith and family. The Brummer brothers’ shenanigans sometimes led to a rosary on the shanty steps. 

He attended St. Boniface Grade School, graduating from Tipton High School in 1955.&nbsp;

After graduation, Melvin met his wife Geraldine (Boden) Brummer. They were united in marriage on May 2, 1959. They settled on a farmstead west of Tipton where they side-by side operated a Grade A dairy, cattle and farming operation. Melvin and Gerry were blessed with five children in their 56 years of loving marriage.&nbsp;

Melvin was an active member of the St. Boniface Catholic church. He served as an Acolyte and Eucharistic Minister. Melvin was a member of Knights of Columbus Council 1645 where he served as Grand Knight and was also a member of the Robert F. Kennedy 4th Degree. One of his proudest moments was the installation of his three sons and two sons-in-law into the 4th Degree.&nbsp; Melvin placed a high value on faith, family, hard work and education, and therefore served as a member of the National Guard, Parish Council and Tipton School Board.

Melvin lived life to the fullest! He shared his wisdom, compassion, leadership and sense of humor with everyone. Some of his favorite pastimes were raising greyhounds (Queenie), coyote hunting, tending and checking his cattle on a Sunday drive to the pasture with fishing pole in tow. He loved the time spent playing pinochle and pitch with family, polka dancing and could be found tapping his foot along with a Lawrence Welk tune.&nbsp;

Melvin's 15 grandchildren captured his heart. They were familiar with the pet names of Smoke, George, Peter Murphy, and Snickle Fritz. He enjoyed giving them rides in his John Deere tractor where he was known to share life lessons along with fun stories. If they ever got bored, he taught them how to sing along to the tune of “Jimmy Crack Corn.”

Melvin's parents, his loving wife, Gerry, brother Charles, and sister Twyla Remus preceded him in death. 

Survivors include his five children: Robin (Kevin) Moore of Osborne, Stacie (Gery) Hake of Tipton, Troy (Stacey) Brummer of Osborne, Tyler (Rebecca) of Genesee, ID, and Chad (Candace) Brummer of Tipton; 15 grandchildren: Kylin and Katelyn Moore, Justin, Jaron, and Linden Hake, Megan (Kyle) Montoya, Shelby and Shyanne Brummer, Jayson and Alyssa Carswell, Tristen, Logan, and Cadyn Brummer, Trenton and Allison Brummer; great-granddaughter Kassidy Brummer along with two more great-grands arriving soon; Melvin’s siblings: Cynthia May of Beloit, Victor (Betty) Brummer of Tipton, Harry Brummer of Lincoln, Kenny (Joanne) Brummer of Tipton, Sylvia (Rick) Budke of Beloit, Michelle (Phillip) Murrow of Tipton;&nbsp; and numerous nieces, nephews, and friends who made his life complete.

Melvin will be remembered as someone who brought a light so great to the world that even after he’s gone, the light still remains forever in our hearts!

Funeral services will be at 10 a.m. Monday, November 14 at the St. Boniface Catholic Church in Tipton. A rosary service will be at 6:30 p.m. Sunday and visitation will be from 5 p.m. until the rosary service begins at the Church. 

Memorials may be given to the Tipton schools or Masses.
