Kendrick, Thomas Edward ‘Papa Thom’ h/ Yvonne Ima(Trammell)
Burial Date: 2006, 08/16 Age: 75 Lot: 1156 H
War: Korean War US Army
Thomas E “Papa Thom” Kendrick died Aug 15, 2006 at Hutchinson Hospital. He was born Jan 5, 1931 in Manter, the son of Chester David and Sarah Jane Orman Kendrick. A resident of Hutchinson for the past three months, formerly of Minneapolis, he was a retired salesman.
He was a member of Veteran of Foreign Wars, Minneapolis, and Disabled American Veterans. He was a U.S. Army veteran.
On Jun 17, 1951, he married Yvonne Ima Trammell in Johnson. She survives.
Other survivors include: three sons, two daughters, three sisters, 14 grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by two brothers, Richard and Gary; and two sisters, Mary Lou McKinney and Dolores McCray.
Private graveside services were held in Sterling Community Cemetery with military honors conducted by the Fort Riley Honor Guard.
Funeral services for Harold Arthur “Pat” Kannard, 7 years old, who was drowned Saturday in the Sterling lake, will be held at 3 o’clock Tuesday afternoon at the Sterling Methodist church. Burial will be in the Sterling cemetery.
He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold R. Kannard of Sterling. Mr. Kannard is a painter.
The accident occurred Saturday afternoon after Pat and his 9-year-old brother, Jack, had gone to the lake, in the south part of Sterling, to have a look around. The boys saw ducks swimming just beyond the icy rim of the lake. Pat ventured onto the ice to scare them.
Jack, who is heavier, held back and saw his brother wander ten or twelve feet from shore before the thin ice suddenly gave way beneath him. The boy was plunged suddenly into 18 feet of chilling water.
Jack watched his brother struggle a moment and then ran for help. He thought of his scoutmaster, Harold Johnson, who supervises the Cub pack to which Jack belongs; Johnson lives a short distance from the west side of the lake.
He wasn’t at home, but Mrs. Johnson heard Jack’s tale and went into action. She called first the Sterling fire department and then some other men.
A crowd soon gathered at the lake. Various persons tried to recover the drowning Pat. A couple of volunteers, Dennis Savage and Billy Peck, stripped to the shorts and, secured by ropes, dived into the icy water, but were unable to find the body.
Earl Higley, veteran fisherman, went into action with his rod and reel. His fish hook finally found Pat’s body and it was pulled to shore. More than an hour elapsed since the boy went into the water. Artificial respiration and a mechanical inhalator rushed to Sterling by the Hutchinson fire department were used for more than an hour, but failed to revive the boy.
Besides his parents and brother, Harold Arthur is survived by a sister, Marsha Darlene; his paternal grandmother, Mrs. Dora Kannard of Caney and his maternal grandfather, E. V. Olson of Duluth, Minn.
He was a second-grader in the Sterling schools.
Until recently Mr. Kannard was employed by a Salina Milling company as an elevator maintenance man. He has since been operating a spray paint outfit. He was redecorating the family’s home when the accident occurred.

Jones, Dr. Cheryl Ann ‘Cheri ‘ (O’Brien) wife of Scott Robert
Burial Date: 2013, 07/03 Age: 50 Lot: 1219 F
Died in Kansas City, MO 6/28/2013 DVM
This site is dedicated to the late Dr. Cheryl (Cheri) Ann Jones whose passion and dedication for all animals will always be remembered. Cheri’s life was full of love for her husband, Scott; children, Jack and Julia; and all her clients at State Line Animal Hospital. Beloved veterinarian, avid researcher and animal lover, Cheri dedicated much of her time to animal research which eventually led her to Likarda.
Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 9, Cheri had a special love and compassion for animals living with diabetes. In 1993, Cheri experienced kidney failure due to complications from diabetes. That same year, she became the 56th person at San Francisco Hospital to receive a successful kidney and pancreas transplant, which cured her diabetes.
Likarda and its research to treat diabetes in dogs and cats, as well as its Pet Organ Donation Network, attracted Cheri’s attention. After meeting with Likarda founders Lisa Stehno-Bittel and Karthik Ramachandran in-person, she quickly felt a connection to Likarda and its mission. Likarda relies on donated pancreata for its research and established the Pet Organ Donation Network so that upon death, pet owners have an opportunity to donate their beloved pet’s organs to contribute to the future health of other animals.
Even though Cheri passed away on June 28, 2013 from duodenal cancer complications, her legacy lives through Cheri’s Hope, Likarda’s Pet Organ Donor Network. Cheri was passionate about finding a way to help animals with diabetes and hopefully the research performed through pet organ donation will someday also lead to a cure for humans.
