Larry David Newberry, 67, died Sunday November 27, 2022, at the Kearny
County Hospital in Lakin, Kansas. He was born March 28, 1955, in Garden
City, the son of Fred H. Newberry II and Billie J. (Cunningham)
Newberry.
Larry grew up in the Garden City area where he attended and graduated
from the local schools. He went on to Fort Hays State University and it
was there that he met Deanna Jean Libby. Deanna’s roommate at the time
had invited Larry over and eventually convinced Deanna to join in with a
group of friends for square dancing. Larry found his forever dancing
partner and the two were wed two short years later on June 1, 1985.
Larry enjoyed reading, riding bikes, and going for walks. He and Deanna
enjoyed square-dancing and watching movies together. He could be
stubborn and strong willed but was always up for conversation; coming
from a family with 7 children he learned to be heard you just have to
keep talking.
Survivors include his Wife Deanna of the home, Siblings- Kaylinn (Tommy)
Stalford of Nickerson, Pennsylvania, Brenda (Alan) Laudick of Lakin,
Kansas, Fred (Lori) Newberry III of Hoisington, Kansas, Laura Thomason
