Jeanette Younger age 91, of Victoria, Kansas passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 21, 2024, at Via Christi Village Hays, Kansas surrounded by her family.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; She was born November 21, 1932, in Hays, Kansas to Henry A. and Pauline (Dreiling) Schumacher.&nbsp; She married James F. “Jack” Younger on January 26, 1952, in Victoria, Kansas.&nbsp; He preceded her in death on September 3, 1996.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; She and her husband owned and operated Younger Oil Service Station in Victoria for 42 years.&nbsp; They started their business in 1952, on Old Highway 40, then moved to their new location on Interstate 70 in 1967 and closed in 1994.&nbsp; Jeanette grew up in Victoria and was a 1950 graduate of Victoria High School.&nbsp; After high school she worked for a few years at the Ellis County Court House as an assistant for the County School Superintendent Tom Roth.&nbsp; She also worked a total of 12 years at St. John’s Rest Home at Victoria in housekeeping and the last two years at Via Christi Village in food services.&nbsp; Jeanette retired at the age of 80.&nbsp; She was a member of The Basilica of St. Fidelis and a former member of the Daughters of Isabella both of Victoria.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Jeanette is known for many fantastic attributes.&nbsp;&nbsp;She was well known for her love of people and enjoyed working with her husband Jack daily at their Service Station, often running it on her own.&nbsp;&nbsp;Her work ethic was contagious.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;That love of people prompted Jeanette to constantly plan for her next entertainment opportunity.&nbsp;&nbsp;Community fish fries, corn on the cob feeds, weddings, reunion’s all excited her to see old friends and relatives. (There was never a small first communion party at the Younger house…each gathering outdid the last!)&nbsp;&nbsp;Folks who ever attended a “Younger Wedding” will know she was one of the founding members of the Ladies “Hat Dance” which has lasted for decades.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; She was also very fond of travel, and learning about different cultures around the world, but always returning to her beloved Victoria where she was a main figure in the business and social community.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;But her greatest love was for family!&nbsp;&nbsp;She taught her family the importance of supporting each other through thick and thin.&nbsp;&nbsp;To this day, that mindset has permeated through 4 generations, and is sure to continue through many more.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Jeanette was the last living survivor of the Henry and Pauline Schumacher family.&nbsp; She is survived by her children, Frank Younger and his wife, Joleene, Victoria, KS; Debra “Deb” Gallagher and her husband, Mike, Liberty, MO; Diane Pfeifer and her husband, Kenny, Victoria, KS; Stan Younger and his wife, Karen, New Braunfels, TX; her grandchildren, Tonya Cole (Mike); Chris Younger (Katina); Jon Gallagher (Vickie Haywood); Sara Wartner (Cory); Eric Pfeifer (Jennifer); Kory Pfeifer (Jessi); Troy Pfeifer (Wendy); Jennifer Wyatt (Ruston); Amanda Breen (Matt); her twenty great grandchildren; her four great great grandchildren; her sisters-in-law, Ethel Younger and Det Younger, both of Victoria, KS.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; She was preceded in death by her parents, Henry A. and Pauline; her husband, Jack; her brothers, Clarence; Linus; Elmer; Valery; Norman; and Leland Schumacher; her sisters, Ruby Roth; Viola Schumacher; Jeanie Dome; and Paula Palermo.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A Mass of Christian Burial will be at 11:00 A.M. Monday, July 29, 2024, at The Basilica of Saint Fidelis, 900 Cathedral Ave., Victoria, Kansas with Concelebrants, Father Jim Moster O.F.M. Cap. and Father John Schmeidler.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A vigil service and rosary will be at 6:30 P.M. Sunday, with a visitation from 5:00 to 8:00 P.M. Sunday, and from 9:00 to 11:00 A.M. Monday, all at The Basilica of Saint Fidelis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The burial will be in St. Fidelis Cemetery Victoria, Kansas. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Eunice L. (Van Greuningen) Neiltopp

D. Maxine Patmon, daughter of Daris and Ruby (Hardman) Karnes, was born on May 13, 1929, at the family home in Studley, Kansas. Maxine attended school in Hoxie and several Oregon elementary schools during her younger years and returned to Hoxie for high school. It was during high school that she met Bill Patmon, who was the love of her life. They were married on July 25, 1945, at the courthouse in Colby, Kansas. Together they lived southwest of Hoxie where they built their home and created their own little slice of heaven. During the first seven years they welcomed their four children: Barbara (Richard) Ringer, Lenny (Michelle) Patmon, Sue (Wayne) Mountford, Cindy (Tim) Brainard.

Maxine helped Bill with farming chores, planted a big garden and raised their four children. Maxine was an excellent seamstress and took great pride in creating clothes for the children. As the kids grew up, she was a 4H sewing leader, was active in church and participated in the Neighborhood Entertainment Company. While her girls were in high school, it wasn’t unusual for her to be sewing the last hook and eye on a party dress as the girl(s) were headed out the door, Maxine worked as a cook in the high school cafeteria for several years. She became acquainted with many students over the years. Her memory is held fondly by many of those students.

During the summer, the Patmon house bulged at the seams with cousins and friends who loved to spend time on the farm. Maxine always found an extra seat at the table for anyone who showed up. It was a busy but happy home.

Faith was an important part of Maxine’s life, and she was active in the Christian Church where she served in many capacities. Later she and Bill belonged to the Methodist Church and as always, she became an active member of the congregation by helping with anything and everything that was needed.

Bill and Maxine moved off the farm in 1997 and bought a house in Hoxie. It was a big change after 52 years on the farm, but they easily became good neighbors and friends to those in their neighborhood and active in the community.

After her girls were grown, Maxine enjoyed making dresses for the granddaughters. From there she moved into quilting and quickly became an excellent quilt maker. Her goal was to complete a bed sized quilt for each of her 14 grandchildren which she did accomplish. Just like all avid quilters, she had a substantial fabric ‘stash’ to draw from. Each and every bed in their home had one of Maxine’s quilts as a bedspread. She is being followed in her love of quilting by her daughters and daughter-in-law.

Maxine resided at the SCHC-LTC for the past seven years where she shared her ‘sparkle’ with all those around her. She was very engaged in the many activities that were offered. Most recently she enjoyed the Reading Club. Maxine was adored by the staff for her independent spirit, wit, and ‘sassy’ nature. She will be greatly missed.

Maxine was preceded in death by Bill, her husband of 75 years.

Loved ones left to mourn Maxine are her son Lenny (Michelle) Patmon, daughters Barbara (Richard) Ringer, Sue (Wayne) Mountford, and Cindy (Tim) Brainard, sister, Shirley Allacher, sister-in-law, Vivian Edwards, 14 grandchildren and 33 great grandchildren.

A visitation will be held Thursday, July 25, 2024, from 4:00 P.M. until 7:00 P.M., with family receiving friends from 5:00 P.M. until 7:00 P.M., at Mickey-Leopold Funeral Home, Hoxie, Kansas. A private family interment will take place later.

D. Maxine Patmon, daughter of Daris and Ruby (Hardman) Karnes, was born on May 13, 1929, at the family home in Studley, Kansas. Maxine attended school in Hoxie and several Oregon elementary schools during her younger years and returned to Hoxie for high school. It was during high school that she met Bill Patmon, who was the love of her life. They were married on July 25, 1945, at the courthouse in Colby, Kansas. Together they lived southwest of Hoxie where they built their home and created their own little slice of heaven. During the first seven years they welcomed their four children: Barbara (Richard) Ringer, Lenny (Michelle) Patmon, Sue (Wayne) Mountford, Cindy (Tim) Brainard.Maxine helped Bill with farming chores, planted a big garden and raised their four children. Maxine was an excellent seamstress and took great pride in creating clothes for the children. As the kids grew up, she was a 4H sewing leader, was active in church and participated in the Neighborhood Entertainment Company. While her girls were in high school, it wasn’t unusual for her to be sewing the last hook and eye on a party dress as the girl(s) were headed out the door, Maxine worked as a cook in the high school cafeteria for several years. She became acquainted with many students over the years. Her memory is held fondly by many of those students.During the summer, the Patmon house bulged at the seams with cousins and friends who loved to spend time on the farm. Maxine always found an extra seat at the table for anyone who showed up. It was a busy but happy home.Faith was an important part of Maxine’s life, and she was active in the Christian Church where she served in many capacities. Later she and Bill belonged to the Methodist Church and as always, she became an active member of the congregation by helping with anything and everything that was needed.Bill and Maxine moved off the farm in 1997 and bought a house in Hoxie. It was a big change after 52 years on the farm, but they easily became good neighbors and friends to those in their neighborhood and active in the community.After her girls were grown, Maxine enjoyed making dresses for the granddaughters. From there she moved into quilting and quickly became an excellent quilt maker. Her goal was to complete a bed sized quilt for each of her 14 grandchildren which she did accomplish.
