They were united in marriage on October 8, 1955 in Topeka, and made their home in Caney, Kansas.

      Jim’s work for Farmland Industry Pipeline took them to several communities, beginning with Bartlesville, Oklahoma, El Dorado, Kansas, Winfield, Kansas, and finishing his career in Plainville, Kansas. He worked for Farmland for more than 41 years.

      Jim was a member of the United Methodist Church in Plainville. He loved the outdoors, from the family camping trips to the fishing and boating they all so enjoyed in the earlier years.
