Dixie Lee Erickson Pakaki November 14, 1931 ~ March 13, 2024

Dixie Lee Erickson Pakaki made heaven her final destination on March 13, 2024. &nbsp;She was 92 years old, and resided at the Sunset Home in Concordia, Kansas. &nbsp;Dixie Woodring was born in Salina, Kansas, the youngest of three sisters. Her parents were Jewell and Fred Woodring. &nbsp;In 1946, Dixie moved to Concordia and married her high school sweetheart, Loren Joe Erickson. &nbsp;Dixie and Joe worked together in a variety of business ventures before Dixie focused on being a full-time Mom and raising their four children, Larry, Dana, David and Eric.

Dixie was active in church and youth activities, PTA, station wagon transporter, and was known as a cool Mom with the neighborhood kids—she was always ready and willing to join the kids in snow sledding, swimming, or playing games. &nbsp;Everyone in the neighborhood knew that when they heard Dixie’s ear-splitting whistle, it was time for her kids to return home. &nbsp;Dixie often exhibited her “Woodring Sisters’ laugh”—and will be forever loved for her sense of humor. &nbsp;Dixie and Joe loved to travel throughout the U.S. and abroad. &nbsp;In 1981, Dixie made Lahaina, Maui, Hawaii her home. &nbsp;She enjoyed living on her “island heaven on earth”. &nbsp;In 1984, Dixie married Ernest Pakaki. &nbsp;After Ernest died, Dixie moved to Kerrville, Texas to live near her two sisters and their husbands. &nbsp;Later, Dixie moved to Salina, then to Concordia, residing at the Sunset Home.

Always on the go, Dixie lived a full and adventurous life—whether it was riding a camel in Israel, or visiting friends in the former Yugoslavia. &nbsp;She loved life and was loved, and will be fondly remember by those whose lives she touched through her journey in life.

Dixie was preceded in death by her parents;&nbsp;her husband’s Joe Erickson and Ernest Pakaki; &nbsp;her sisters Betty (Charles) Scheibler and Ailene (Bob) Hagler. &nbsp;She leaves a heritage of three generations by her four children: &nbsp;Larry (Susan) Erickson of Phoenix, Arizona;&nbsp;Dana (Mark) Cunningham, Topeka, Kansas; &nbsp;David Erickson of Concordia; &nbsp;and Eric Erickson of Euless, Texas. &nbsp;David’s family—grandkids Evan, Jordan (Esther) with great-grandkids Nora, Mina, and Marcus; and grandkids Tiffany, Braden, Calen, and Aaron—all in Kansas. &nbsp;Eric’s family—grandkids Taylor (James), with great grandkids Camden and Reese; and grandkid Connor—in Texas.

There will be no formal funeral service—a private family event celebrating Dixie’s life will occur at a later date.&nbsp;For online condolences please visit&nbsp;Nuttermortuary.com

Etta Arlene (Duff) Holloway April 4, 1935 ~ March 13, 2024

Etta Arlene (Duff) Holloway was the first child born to Clayborn and Stella Mae (Crochett) Duff on April 4, 1935 in Salina, Kansas. Clay and Stella Mae then moved to Hoxie, Kansas, to be near relatives where Arlene started attending elementary school. During her 5th grade school year, her family moved to Codell, Kansas, located just south of Woodston, Kansas, Arlene loved school and was known as the "teacher's helper" and could recall names of the many students she tutored there. During her senior year of High school, the family made a final move to Alton, Kansas. While attending Alton High School she met Bob Holloway who grew up on a farm west of Alton. After graduating from high school, Bob and Arlene were married on January 30, 1955 and made their home in a small rustic house along the Solomon River just west of Alton. Bob and Arlene moved to Paradise, Kansas, for a short time before settling on a farm near Woodston, Kansas, where they started their family.

Their 4 boys, Kevin, Dean, Terry, and Danny, all grew up on the farm and have fond memories of living, working, and harvesting together. She enjoyed the farm, her garden, and the chickens that kept her boys busy feeding, cleaning, and gathering the eggs. Hard work was part of her nature and she lived and taught us hard work on the farm. Arlene loved and cared for her family, but also took time to care for others in need. She would cook meals and serve others while also teaching her cooking skills to kids in 4-H, who claimed many blue ribbons at the Rooks County Free Fair. Her smile was hard to forget, especially when she was with her boys, grandkids, and great grandkids. She always wanted to spend as much time with family as she could and would stay up VERY late with them playing games and telling stories. After her boys were grown, Bob and Arlene moved to Lindsborg, Kansas, for a short time before moving to Oakley, Kansas, just south of her childhood home near Hoxie. They made one more final move to Lindsborg to be with friends and closer to family. In Lindsborg, Arlene continued her visits to those in need of food, help, or just a friend. She also looked forward to family gatherings and cherished holidays when the family was all together.

Arlene will be remembered for her Christian faith in God and her love for Jesus. She shared her love for the Bible by teaching children in Sunday School and would share what Christ had done in her life with anyone who was interested. Her deep faith shown as she lived, worked, and cared for others. Her daily Bible readings would often be recited in conversations throughout the day. The Bible was her guidebook for life. Even if she forgot a favorite recipe, she always could remember her favorite scriptures and would share them with others.

Arlene is survived by her husband Bob of 69 years, her younger brother Cloyd Duff of Wichita Kansas; her sons: Kevin (Vicki) Holloway of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, Terry (Kim) Holloway of Ness City, Kansas, and Dan (Diana) Holloway of Topeka, Kansas. Her grandchildren: Beth (Timothy) Johnson, Nolan (Samantha) Holloway, Kale (Nikki) Holloway, Hope (Chad) Bauman, Justin (Emily) Holloway, Melissa Holloway, Abby Holloway, Anna Holloway, Ally (Grayson) Trueblood, Adriel Holloway, Amy Holloway, Caleb Holloway, and her great grandchildren: Aven, Eloise, Ean, Adler, Cora, Abba, Kaley, Cambree, Hattie, IlsaBelle, and Judge.

Nathan Eli Martin July 16, 1994 - March 6, 2024

Nathan Eli Martin, 29, of Concordia, Kansas passed away at his home on March 6th, 2024. He was born on July 16th, 1994 to Mary Louise (Raumann-Schaefer) Martin in Salina, Kansas. &nbsp;

Nathan was the 4th child of 5. He was brought home to older brothers, Shane and Josh. Little sister Jasmine was to come later. Older brother Michael lived in Colorado.&nbsp;

Nathan was a typical boy who loved all things “boy”. He loved cars, trucks, 4 wheelers, going out and just playing in the dirt, although fishing was by far his favorite. Getting on the water in his boat to fish was his favorite getaway. Whenever he wasn’t outside he would be in front of his PS4. Farming Simulator, GTA, 2K, Madden and Red Dead Redemption were among his favorites.&nbsp;

In high school Nathan loved to play football and basketball. He also participated in track and field. His junior year of high school he was unable to play the last game of football due to sport injuries to his ankles requiring surgery. For his Senior year he held the position of manager for the football team. Nathan was a big fan of the Denver Broncos and looked forward to one day being able to attend a live game. Nathan has many medals from his sports achievements that he was very proud of. Nathan graduated from Pike Valley High School in Scandia, KS in 2012.&nbsp;

Nathan was a jack of all trades. He was able to work on vehicles, lawn equipment, his boat, camper and if he didn’t know how, he would figure it out. He also had a love for carpentry and several items he has made are still in his moms house today. He spent a lot of time at his moms house. Nathan and his mom were very close and would spend a lot of time fishing together or just hanging out. He was always there to help her at home or in the yard when needed. &nbsp;

He was a collector and loved Community Wide Clean up. You could see Nathan driving through town in his 1997 gold Toyota Camry with a trailer hooked to the back picking up junk metal to recycle. He loved his car and would brag about it frequently. He was super excited last year when it rolled over to 300,000 miles. His newest “baby” was a 1977 Red Ford F150 Custom that he was planning on fixing up for his nephew Odin. &nbsp;

Nathan had the purest, kindest soul. He was a friend to all and would do anything to help someone in need. He was always there for a friend if they needed an ear, a hug or a ride. Nathan had many nieces and nephews but the 2 littlest lived at home in Concordia whom he got to see all the time. Little Odin and Phoenix loved their Uncle Nate Nate and were very close to him. His niece Jocelyn lives in Lincoln Nebraska but was closer when he was fixing up his boat. She had the privilege of helping Uncle Nate fix up his boat and even got to pick out the color!&nbsp;

Nathan lived at home with a special girl named Cocoa, who is a Boxer/Pit mix. He loved her and the many rides they would take together. Nathan loved to tell stories and had many stories to tell. Especially fishing stories. The fish was this Big!! If you knew Nathan, you knew a lot about Nathan because he loved to talk to people about everything exciting in his life... Mostly his car and fishing! &nbsp;

Nathan was preceded in death by maternal Grandparents John and Eleanor Schaefer, his older brother Michael Ferrell and step-father Mark Harrington.&nbsp;

Left to mourn his passing are his children, Marcia and Delbert Martin; mother, Mary Martin of Concordia, KS; siblings Shane Martin (Maria) of Beloit, KS, Joshua Gonzales of Concordia, KS, and Jasmine Eckhardt of Concordia, KS; nieces and nephews Odin and Phoenix Eckhardt, Jocelyn Gonzales, Gracelyn, Ella, Vincent and Victory Martin, and Merrick Miller; best friend Tristan Stepter. &nbsp;
