Pauline Dailey

Pauline Dailey of Anderson, Indiana, went to her heavenly home on February 11, 2026.

Pauline grew up in the Perkinsville and Lapel area and was a proud graduate of Lapel High School, Class of 1967. She retired from King’s Systems after 25 years. She took great pride in her work — She was especially delighted to tell others that she helped make the medical masks they would see in doctors’ offices and hospitals.

Pauline was always on the go and never passed up a good rummage sale, flea market, or shopping trip — especially if there was a great deal to be found. One of the most evident ways Pauline showed her love was through gift-giving. She had a knack for finding gifts that made her think of someone, and she enjoyed surprising others with those meaningful little finds. She made a habit of buying umbrella strollers whenever she found them for sale, keeping them in her van so she could offer one to any family she saw walking.

Pauline loved fishing, camping and Amish country. She enjoyed reading, word searches, crafting, and McDonald's Diet Coke with no ice. She attended North Anderson Wesleyan Church and you could often hear her listening to old country Gospel music from the other room. Her heart had a special tenderness for her “critters” — dogs, cats, and any animal she encountered. If you ever rode in a car with Pauline and a squirrel darted into the road, you learned quickly to hold on tight — she would swerve without hesitation to make sure no critter was harmed.

She is survived by her children: Travis (Tara) Cox, Tonya (Robert Lloyd) Cox, Trenton (Christina) Cox, and Trevor (Ashley) Dailey; her step-son Derek (Sherri) Dailey; beloved grandchildren: Travis Cox Jr., Dakota Cox, Madi (Timmy) Cox, Rebecca Cox, Kaycee (Levi) Pace, Colton Cox, Austin (Casey) Hudson, Josh Willmeth, Kiersteen Lentfoehr, Keagan Dailey, Laynie Dailey, Charlee Dailey, Kayson Triche, Ezekiel Dailey, and Elijah Dailey; great-grandchildren: Lucas, Christian, Jason, Oliver, Vincent, Zakrey, Grayson, Austin Jr., Shyann, Sharan, and Angela; sister Julie (Eddie) Purciful; brother Wayne (Lois) Keller; sister-in-law Marjorie Keller; best friend Mary Scherer; niece & biggest encourager, Kelly (James) Stamper; new friend & roommate, Rena Short; and several nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Wayne and Patricia Keller; twin brother, Paul Calvert; and siblings Dan Fox, Janet Daggett, Larry Calvert, Charles Calvert and Dan Keller.

A memorial service will be held on March 8 at 3:00 p.m. at North Anderson Wesleyan Church, 1947 E. 240 N., Anderson, Indiana 46012. Memorial contributions may be made to North Anderson Wesleyan Church.

Pauline will be remembered for her love of family, her determination to protect all of God’s creatures, and the joy she found in life’s simple treasures. Although we will miss her, we know she is with Jesus and we will see her again one day.

The family would like to thank the staff at Northview Health and Living for their care for Pauline.

Cynthia Diane Carson

Cynthia Diane Carson, 75, passed away on February 9, 2026. Born on August 6, 1950, in Anderson, Indiana, she was the daughter of James and Mary Alice Murray.

Cindy grew up in Alexandria, Indiana, and graduated from Alexandria High School with the Class of 1968. She went on to attend Ball State University, where she studied journalism and was recognized as a prize-winning journalist.

Her passion for writing shaped her life’s work. Cindy wrote for four newspapers: the Muncie Star, the Marion Tribune, the Herald Bulletin, and the Indianapolis Star North. She was a gifted writer with an instinct that never failed her—an ability to see clearly, think deeply, and express truth with honesty and integrity. She worked with the Literacy Coalition, and taught journalism.

Cindy had exceptional taste in music, books, and ideas. She believed that good taste was never about trends, but about honesty, integrity, and paying attention. She shared that wisdom with her nephews, encouraging their curiosity and teaching them to look beyond the surface of things. She was an avid reader, especially fond of mysteries.

She enjoyed traveling with her husband and friends, she especially enjoyed her time in Paris, the Alps, and the Grand Canyon. She had a great sense of humor, loved a good handbag, and had a niche for baking cookies. If Cindy said she was bringing cookies, you could expect an overflowing tray.

Cindy is survived by her husband of 46 years, Phil Carson; brother, Stacy (Karen) Murray; and nephews, Benjamin Murray, Seth Murray, and Jacob Murray.

She was preceded in death by her parents, James and Mary Alice Murray; brother, Michael Murray; and nephew, Michael Murray Jr.

Cindy’s life was marked by curiosity, discernment, creativity, and generosity.

Kent Kistler

Kent Kistler passed away on February 3, 2026, after a brief illness. He left this world far too soon, but not before filling it with a whole lot of love, kindness, and countless memories that will be held close forever.

Kent was preceded in death by his parents, Sharon and Eddie Kistler, and his faithful dog, Duke. He is survived by his wife, Judy Kistler, the love of his life and his steady partner through every season. Together they built a life rooted in devotion, laughter, and care. He also leaves behind his children, who meant the world to him and were his pride and joy: Jason and Krista Kistler, Cory and Amanda Kistler, and Jenna and Jordan Stanley.

Kent’s heart truly belonged to his grandbabies. He cherished Grace, Ella, and Hudson Kistler; Madison and Kaleb Kistler; Emily Stanley; and Layla and Ava Sherman with a love that was easy to see and impossible to measure. Being “Paps” was his favorite role, and he embraced it fully, pouring joy into every smile, every story, and every moment spent together. His dog Wrangler remains close by, still watching the door, waiting for his favorite person.

Kent was kind, gentle, and always looking out for the people around him. If someone needed help, comfort, or support, Kent was already there. He loved deeply, quietly, and without hesitation, never asking for recognition, only wanting to make life better for those he cared about. Even if every now and again he did find a dirty tissue in his pocket, or one of his grandbabies accidentally pulled off a toe.

He loved his Jeep, NASCAR Sundays, fishing (without catching anything), and the open road. He loved the simple peace of going somewhere with no rush and no pressure, just the ride and the moment. Occasionally those rides would lead him to a Taco Bell drive thru, or he’d cruise through Elwood on his way to Anderson (or so his daughter believes). But above everything else, Kent loved his family with his whole heart. Kent was a devoted husband, a loving father, and a “Paps” who loved bigger than words can hold. The world feels a little less steady without him in it, but the love he gave continues to live on through every life he touched.

To know Kent was to be truly blessed. To love him was everything.
