Dr. Rodler Frederick “Rick” Morris, Sr., passed away peacefully at his home on the morning of March 4, 2026, at the age of 78.

Rick was born in 1947 in Elizabeth, New Jersey, to Frederick Todd “Todd” Morris and Sannie Forest. He grew up there surrounded by a large extended family. He attended Delbarton School in Morristown, New Jersey, a Benedictine preparatory school where he excelled both academically and athletically. Rick often credited his experience at Delbarton as formative in shaping the man he would become.

After graduating high school, Rick attended the Virginia Military Institute, where he was commissioned as an officer in the United States Army in 1969 during the height of the Vietnam War. During that time, he lost several close friends and classmates in the conflict, an experience that profoundly shaped his worldview and inspired a lifelong commitment to supporting American soldiers through his later professional work.

In 1975, Rick married Lynne McCurdy (Wettig), and together they had two sons. In 2002, he married Deborah Nelson (Morris), who remained his loving partner for the rest of his life.

He later worked at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, as Command Historian at the Combined Arms Center and as Program Manager and Deputy Director for the Center for Army Lessons Learned. Over time, he became widely respected as an expert in the field of knowledge management. His dedication to continuous learning led him to earn numerous professional certifications, including a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and a Master Certificate in Business Analysis from Villanova University, in addition to many others.

In 2015, Rick co-founded Morris, Nelson and Associates, LLC and served as its president. Through this work, he devoted himself to combating human trafficking and supporting efforts such as ReHope and The Justice and Dignity Center of Kansas City, helping impact many lives.

Despite his professional accomplishments, Rick’s greatest joy was his family. He was a lifelong and enthusiastic reader and instilled a love of books in his children and grandchildren. In his later years, he especially enjoyed attending his grandchildren’s activities, including dance lessons, sports practices, birthday parties, and family gatherings.

Rick also enjoyed traveling in recent years, visiting destinations including Key West, Florida, Arkansas, New Jersey, and many others, often blending business and leisure.

Queeny Poulose was born on April 3, 1938, in Quilon, Kerala State, India and passed away on February 19, 2026. From an early age, she distinguished herself through her intellect, faith, and determination—qualities that would define her life and service to others.

She pursued higher education at Maharajah’s College and later attended Trivandrum Medical College, where she trained in Medicine and discovered her calling to Psychiatry. It was during her medical studies that she met her future husband, K. Paul Poulose. Their partnership, rooted in faith, mutual respect, and love, would span 64 years of marriage.

Queeny was deeply devoted to her husband and to raising their three sons. Together, she and Paul built a strong and loving family. In the early 1970s, they made the courageous decision to immigrate to the United States, seeking new opportunities while remaining firmly grounded in their values. They settled in Leavenworth, Kansas, where they raised their family, established lasting roots, and nurtured many friendships.

Queeny devoted her professional life as a psychiatrist at the Dwight D. Eisenhower Veterans Affairs Medical Center. There, she served with compassion, humility, and unwavering dedication, providing care to America’s veterans and honoring their sacrifices.

Above all, Queeny was known for her resilience, piety, and devotion to her family. She was a nurturing and loving presence—a steady source of strength, guidance, and quiet sacrifice. Her faith anchored her life, and her love shaped her home and all who knew her.

She is survived by her beloved husband Paul Poulose; her sons, Anil (Sheila), Abraham (Mari), and Benjamin (Michelle); and by a family who will forever cherish her memory and example. She leaves 13 grandchildren (Ellen, Mark, Pascal, Alex, Solomon, Kate, Gabrielle, Esther, Maria, Veronica, Phillip (deceased), Sebastian, and Isabelle). In addition, she is survived by six great-grandchildren.

Queeny Poulose’s life was one of service, faith, and love. Her legacy lives on in the lives she touched—as a physician, a wife, a devoted mother, and a woman of deep compassion and grace.

Wisniewski Mantia Grice, affectionately known as “Nessy,” passed away peacefully on February 9, 2026, at St. Luke’s Hospice House at the age of 65. Born on April 23, 1960, to the union of Curtis Ivory and Sammie (Cooper) Grice, Nessy was the third oldest child and the oldest daughter — a position she carried with strength, leadership, and love throughout her life. She made her home in Leavenworth, Kansas, where her vibrant personality and generous heart left a lasting impression on everyone she met.

Nessy was preceded in death by her father, Curtis Ivory; her brothers, Arnold and Curtis; her grandparents, Rubie Lee Hudson and Sammie Cooper; her beloved son, Russell; and her nephews, Jeramy and Arnold Jr.

A woman of many talents, Nessy worked as a cosmetologist and certified nursing assistant. Whether beautifying someone’s outer appearance or caring for them in times of need, she used her hands and her heart to serve others. Her greatest pride and joy, however, were her children and her granddaughter. They were her greatest gifts, and she loved them fiercely and unconditionally.

Nessy lived life boldly and unapologetically. She was sassy yet sweet, strong-minded yet soft-hearted. Her laughter filled rooms, her honesty kept everyone grounded, and her love made people feel protected and valued. She enjoyed life to the fullest — embracing each moment with confidence, humor, and grace.

Nessy confessed a life before Christ under the leadership of the late Bishop L. C. Johnson at Christ Temple Church in St. Louis. She was a devoted member who loved the Lord and faithfully served through song. Nessy found great joy in singing with the choir on Sundays, lifting her voice in praise and worship as an expression of her deep faith and love for God.

She leaves to cherish her precious memory: Her loving mother, Sammie L. Willis of Leavenworth, Kansas. Her devoted children, Nakia Raishaun Simpson of Baltimore, Maryland, and Ramaun King Johnson of Lansing, Kansas. Her beloved granddaughter, Nhior Mantia Denise Simpson, who was a shining light in her life. Her sisters, Dr. Danna R. France (Ronald) of St. Louis, Missouri, and Nina B. Farrar (David) of Leavenworth KS. Her brothers, Micheal Cutts of St. Louis, Missouri, Eric Grice and Ron Grice of Leavenworth KS. Her cherished nieces, Ka ‘Neisha, Courtney, Kesha, and Erica, who held a very special place in her heart. Her special Aunt Rose of St. Louis, Missouri, along with other loving aunts. She also leaves a host of great nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family members, and dear friends. Nessy is especially remembered by her lifelong and devoted friend, Robin Russell of St. Louis, Missouri, who has been her friend since childhood.
