Roy A. "Peck" Hayden, 70, of Salina, Kansas passed away November 12, 2020. Peck was born in Salina, Kansas on September 29, 1950. He graduated from Central High School and then went on to enlist in the United States Air Force. Peck was a man of many talents, during his lifetime he was a card dealer in Las Vegas, he was a Reserve Officer for the Salina Police Department, he worked for Exide, El Dorado and Crestwood.

Roy was preceded in death by his parents, Tommie and Dorothy Pexa; three siblings, brothers Phillip and Donnie Schaeffer and sister Tulsa Greene. Roy is survived by his wife of 31 years, Debbie; his sister, Cheryl; his stepchildren, Chad (Tracy) Eklund and Brandy Gillespie; 9 grandchildren (Chelsea, Abby, Seth, Chance, Riley, Zaden, Alyssa, Natalie and Todd.) Nephew, Rickie Bowman; and niece, Michelle (Harrison) McWhorter all of Salina, Kansas and numerous grand-nieces and grand-nephews.

Roy was a storyteller! He enjoyed having an audience. He loved to make his family and friend laugh. Never was there a dull moment when Peck was around. He would not rest until he got a smile out of you! Peck loved people, period. We could not go anywhere without him randomly striking up a conversation with someone he did not know.

Peck loved to cook for his family, everyone raved about his homemade egg rolls, a batch of 80 would be gone within the day! He loved fishing, hunting and cheering on his CHIEFS! He was a huge fan and never missed a game. Peck's true passion was woodworking and restoration, he would be given a piece of furniture and he would work his magic giving this piece a new life. Peck will be sorely missed but we will go on knowing he is once again able to WALK beside his family and friends into the loving arms of GOD.

Visitation will be 4-7 p.m. Friday December 4, 2020. A memorial service will be at 10 a.m. Saturday, December 5th, all at Ryan Mortuary, Salina.

Julie Ann Britton, 64, of Atwood, Kansas, died on November 13, 2020. 
Julie was born in Atwood on January 8, 1956. She was the youngest 
daughter of William Walter Sawer and Erma Kathleen (Chvatal) Sawer. She 
was the sister of James Sawer and Carol Brown. 
Growing up in Atwood, Julie was always an artist in the community. In 
her senior year of high school, her art teacher recommended her for a 
project designing and painting a hot air balloon for the band YES. She 
graduated from Atwood High School in 1974. 
Julie's first marriage was to Donn Miller. Her second marriage was to 
Dane Blackmour Britton in Ellsworth on January 30, 1982. Julie and Dane 
were blessed with Julie's only child, her daughter Mackenzie Baker 
Britton, a year later. 
Julie continued both with her education and her true passion in life, 
being an artist. In 1990, she piloted the Ellsworth Area Arts Council 
and established the Ellsworth Area Art Center featuring local artists. 
In 1991, she pursued advanced study with a focus in printmaking at the 
Santa Reparata International School of Art in Florence, Italy. Julie 
graduated Fort Hays State University in 1992 with a Bachelor's of Fine 
Arts (Cum Laude) with a focus on printmaking, art education, and art 
history. 
After her marriage to Dane ended, in 1992 Julie moved to Lincoln, Kansas,&nbsp; and expanded the Lincoln Arts Center as Director. During this time, she
 began teaching summer camps and classes which she continued throughout 
her life for children of all ages, senior citizens, intergenerational 
programs, individual therapeutic art programs, and youth at risk. 
Throughout her life, she held over 200 exhibits of her artwork 
throughout Kansas, Colorado, and Nebraska. Julie served as a 
commissioner and chairperson to the Kansas Arts Commission. 
As a lifelong advocate and resident of small towns in Kansas, she 
immersed herself in improvement of the communities where she lived by 
writing grants to fund the localities' arts integration, medical, and 
social programs. Through her life, she assisted in raising over four 
million dollars in grant awards, employee campaigns, and tax credit 
programs in rural underserved areas. In addition to writing grants, she 
served on countless boards for federal, statewide, and rural entities. 
Julie immensely enjoyed travel. She said that she grew from the 
perspective it brought to her life. Some of her favorite international 
destinations included South Africa, Kenya, Egypt, England, Scotland, 
Italy, and Mexico. 
Julie’s final accomplishment was collaborating on the “YES Balloon 
Story” with David Watkinson and Donn Miller. The collection of 
memorabilia and stories kept her busy during 2020. The final written 
documentary, complete with photos of Julie painting and the balloon 
flying, can be seen at yesworld.com. There are current plans for an 
exhibit of the YES memorabilia in the United Kingdom. 
Julie’s surviving family include daughter Mackenzie Baker Britton, of 
Maryville, Illinois; niece Nichole (Sawer) Ramirez and husband Gilbert; 
nephews, Joshua Sawer and wife Sara, and Darren Brown; great-nephews 
Will Swecker and Keagan Sawer, and great-niece Audrey Sawer. She was 
preceded in death by her parents; stepfather George Beims; brother James
 Sawer; sister Carol Brown, and beloved grandparents. 
Julie was loved by so many in the communities she touched. Due to 
COVID-19, there is no service planned at this time. In lieu of flowers,

County Museum, in care of Mackenzie Britton, 1069 Meadow Lake Drive,

Mildred Elaine Lee

Irma Elaine Ames Brewer passed from this earthly existence to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, on November 12, 2020 at her residence in Concordia, Kansas due to a battle with COVID-19. Irma was born to the union of George Nelson Ames and Ruth Rosamond Bochoven Ames at their home in the Highland area east of Norway, Kansas on June 27, 1931.

Irma attended District 48 country school near that home, along with her siblings, Geraldine, Eileen, Nona, Dean and Ron. Their Ames and Bochoven cousins and other neighborhood children joined them there for an enriching educational experience, given the challenges of making a living from farming during the Dirty 30s and World War II.

Following her Eighth Grade Graduation, Irma attended and received her High School Diploma from Concordia High School in 1949 (her Junior year she went to Haddam High School). While in school in Concordia, she worked several places, including the Western Auto Store. Irma attended Kansas State (then College) for one year, before marrying Dean Decker Brewer on Kansas Day, January 29, 1950.

To their marriage, well-loved children Dana, Diane, JoDee and Sheri were born.&nbsp; Their firstborn Dana, was born after Irma suffered polio during that pregnancy. &nbsp;Most of their childhoods were lived in the Brewer home built by Dean’s grandparents, John and Mary Ellen Brewer, south of Norway. Dean and Irma farmed with Dean’s father, “Joe” Brewer, following several years that Dean taught Junior High age students and served as Principal of Norway Grade School. Irma worked for a number of years as a transportation Aide and CNA at Sunset Nursing Home, Concordia.

Irma was a very practical person and she wanted her children to learn the necessities in life, like knowing Jesus, cooking, sewing and gardening along with the niceties in life, like good manners, appreciating music and serving others.

Irma and Dean served Christ in their churches, Highland Baptist, Norway Evangelical United Brethren, Concordia Baptist and Our Savior’s Lutheran, Norway.&nbsp; She was a wonderful homemaker and always made guests, including their children’s friends, feel welcome.&nbsp; Irma and Dean always lived their lives doing for others.

Irma fought through polio to raise her children and back surgery and cancer to be Grandma B to her beloved grandchildren.

Irma was preceded by her parents, George and Ruth Ames, her husband, Dean Brewer, her siblings, Nina Jean, Geraldine ”Gerry” and husbands Milton Stensaas and Royal Johnson, Eileen and husband, “Lee” Combs, Nona Hedstrom’s husband, Loren and Dean Ames wife, Fern.

She is survived by son, Dana Brewer and wife Tina, Concordia, and their daughter, Marie Brummett and her husband, Garrett, Wichita; daughter Diane Johnson and husband, Rick, Snowflake, AZ; daughter JoDee Rothfuss, husband Mark, Concordia and children Sarah Hauber, husband Joseph and children Dean and Amelia “Millie”, Lenexa; Isaac Rothfuss&nbsp; and wife Samantha, Smithville, MO; and daughter Sheri Johnson, husband Kevin, Concordia and children Joshua Johnson, Overland Park, KS, Ashleigh Johnson, Tulsa, OK and Addison Johnson, Bartlesville, OK; sister, Nona Hedstrom, Concordia and brothers, Dean Ames, Aurora, CO and Ron Ames and wife Marilyn, Brighton, CO.

Because Irma and Dean were survivors of polio and due to the current pandemic, the family will require masks at a private family burial on Wednesday, November 18, 2020 at Valley Cemetery, Norway at 2:00 p.m. with Pastor David Redmond officiating.&nbsp; Visitation will be Tuesday, November 17, 2020 from 1-8 pm at Chaput-Buoy Funeral Home, Concordia.&nbsp; &nbsp;A Celebration of Irma’s life among us is planned for next summer, around the time of what would have been her 90th&nbsp;birthday.&nbsp; The family would dearly love to greet extended family and friends, but Irma and Dean would not want you to put your safety above their consolation.

Memorials are requested, in lieu of flowers. Irma asked that instead of a floral arrangement for her casket, that money be used “to feed the hungry children of the world”. So, her family intends to share any memorial gifts among the Republic and Cloud County Food Banks and Samaritan’s Purse worldwide ministries. &nbsp;For online condolences and to view a video of the burial service, please visit www.chaputbuoy.com.

Irma worked for a number of years as a transportation Aide and CNA at Sunset Nursing Home, Concordia.Irma was a very practical person and she wanted her children to learn the necessities in life, like knowing Jesus, cooking, sewing and gardening along with the niceties in life, like good manners, appreciating music and serving others.Irma and Dean served Christ in their churches, Highland Baptist, Norway Evangelical United Brethren, Concordia Baptist and Our Savior’s Lutheran, Norway.&nbsp; She was a wonderful homemaker and always made guests, including their children’s friends, feel welcome.&nbsp; Irma and Dean always lived their lives doing for others.Irma fought through polio to raise her children and back surgery and cancer to be Grandma B to her beloved grandchildren.Irma was preceded by her parents, George and Ruth Ames, her husband, Dean Brewer, her siblings, Nina Jean, Geraldine ”Gerry” and husbands Milton Stensaas and Royal Johnson, Eileen and husband, “Lee” Combs, Nona Hedstrom’s husband, Loren and Dean Ames wife, Fern.She is survived by son, Dana Brewer and wife Tina, Concordia, and their daughter, Marie Brummett and her husband, Garrett, Wichita; daughter Diane Johnson and husband, Rick, Snowflake, AZ; daughter JoDee Rothfuss, husband Mark, Concordia and children Sarah Hauber, husband Joseph and children Dean and Amelia “Millie”, Lenexa; Isaac Rothfuss&nbsp; and wife Samantha, Smithville, MO; and daughter Sheri Johnson, husband Kevin, Concordia and children Joshua Johnson, Overland Park, KS, Ashleigh Johnson, Tulsa, OK and Addison Johnson, Bartlesville, OK; sister, Nona Hedstrom, Concordia and brothers, Dean Ames, Aurora, CO and Ron Ames and wife Marilyn, Brighton, CO.Because Irma and Dean were survivors of polio and due to the current pandemic, the family will require masks at a private family burial on Wednesday, November 18, 2020 at Valley Cemetery, Norway at 2:00 p.m. with Pastor David Redmond officiating.&nbsp; Visitation will be Tuesday, November 17, 2020 from 1-8 pm at Chaput-Buoy Funeral Home, Concordia.&nbsp; &nbsp;A Celebration of Irma’s life among us is planned for next summer, around the time of what would have been her 90th&nbsp;birthday.&nbsp; The family would dearly love to greet extended family and friends, but Irma and Dean would not want you to put your safety above their consolation.Memorials are requested, in lieu of flowers. Irma asked that instead of a floral arrangement for her casket, that money be used “to feed the hungry children of the world”. So, her family intends to share any memorial gifts among the Republic and Cloud County Food Banks and Samaritan’s Purse worldwide ministries. &nbsp;For online condolences and to view a video of the burial service, please visit www.chaputbuoy.com.
