Joyce Holt

Joyce Holt was born February 21, 1937, in Mountain Grove, Missouri, the daughter of Ernest and Lola (Purgeson) Owens. She grew up with five sisters and the kind of steady, small-town love that stays with you for a lifetime. Joyce passed away on March 30, 2026 while living at Kabul Nursing Home.

As the fourth of six children, Joyce learned early how to work hard, share well, and find joy in the everyday rhythms of farm life north of Mountain Grove. She attended Mountain Valley country school—walking alongside her sisters each day—and later graduated from Mountain Grove High School with the Class of 1956. Before long, she was greeting neighbors and friends at the Ben Franklin store on the north side of the historic square, beginning a working life marked by reliability and warmth.

In 1955, Joyce met Louis Raymond Holt while he was home on leave from the United States Marine Corps. Those who knew them best would tell you it didn’t take long for Joyce and Raymond to realize they had found something special. On September 15, 1957, Rev. Homer Smith married them at her parents’ home. Together they built a life that would take them near and far, and they welcomed two children along the way, Tammy (born in South Carolina) and Doyle (born in North Carolina).

Joyce took real pride in being a military wife. Deployments to Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Cuba, and Okinawa brought long stretches of waiting and missing one another, but Joyce kept home feeling like home, wherever they were. Over the years, the Marine Corps carried their family to places like Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Pearl Harbor (Hawaii), and Santa Ana, California—and Joyce met each move with steady love and a gift for making a new place feel familiar.

After 26 years with the USMC, Raymond retired, and in 1978 Joyce and Raymond came back to a farm north of Mountain Grove to be closer to family. They enjoyed supporting the local VFW Post 3770, American Legion Post #30, and Fleet Reserve Association (FRA Branch 364). Joyce later worked for Walmart for 19 years, and the two of them settled into a routine that friends smiled to hear about: most mornings, Raymond made sure Joyce got to work on time, and after her shift he’d pick her up so they could head to the Hayloft restaurant for supper. They were known there as regulars—and good tippers. They also loved trips to Branson for a show and a good meal. After Raymond passed away in January 2017, Joyce moved into town in late 2018. She enjoyed being close to her sisters, going out to eat, and watching old westerns. As her health declined, she moved to Kabul Nursing Home in 2022.

Joyce accepted Christ as her personal Savior, and her faith remained a steady part of her life. Through the years she attended services at base chapels, and later she worshiped at Mountain Valley Free Will Baptist Church of Mountain Grove.

In addition to her parents, Ernest and Lola Owens, Joyce was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Raymond; her sister, Ernestine Smith; and her parents-in-law, Elmer and Minnie Mae (Tate) Holt.

Joyce is survived by her daughter, Tammy Ashlin (Harold) of Mountain Grove; her son, Doyle Holt (Michele) of Carl Junction, Missouri; four sisters, Jean Moore, Dorothy Stigall, Marjorie Carter, and Linda Keys, all of Mountain Grove; six grandchildren, Heather Terrill (Jonathan), Dalton Ashlin (Courtney), Wyatt Ashlin (Alyssa), Liam D. Holt (Ashley), Anna Kiera Holt Kennedy (Jeremiah), and Tyne Michele Holt (William); two great-grandchildren, Tatum Terrill and Macie Ashlin; her brothers-in-law, Lonnie Holt (Charlotte) of Mountain Grove and Vernon Holt (Lanea) of Mackay, Idaho; and many other relatives and friends who will miss her dearly.

The family extends special thanks to the staff at Kabul Nursing Home, along with Janet Ratterree and Christina Sasser, for the compassionate care and kindness shown to Joyce.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Lymphoma Society or the Alzheimer’s Association c/o the funeral home.

Claude Nelson

Claude Otis Nelson, son of the late Claude and Mary (Stark) Nelson, was born March 22, 1955, in DeWitt, Arkansas, and departed this life March 24, 2026, at Autumn Oaks Caring Center in Mountain Grove, Missouri, at 71 years of age.

Claude grew up and attended school mostly in Arkansas before moving to southern Missouri. He was united in marriage to the love of his life, Linda Barnett on December 13, 1977, in Ava, Missouri, and together they raised seven children: Marie, Cindy, Joseph, James, Claude, Heather, and Niki. Claude was a man of many talents, and there wasn’t anything that he couldn’t do or build. He has worked many different jobs throughout his career including a dairy farm, rice mill, county road crew, and an all-around general handyman. His talents also included getting to build their family home himself many years ago, and he was also an excellent auto mechanic.

Some of Claude’s hobbies included hunting, dancing, and singing. He was an excellent singer and loved all kinds of music, but singing Christian hymns has always been his favorite. Claude was a very generous man, and there wasn’t a person that he wouldn’t help if he could. He was also known to have an ornery streak and an outgoing personality. He never met a stranger that he couldn’t strike up a conversation with. Claude was an amazing husband, father, and grandfather who his grandkids affectionately called “Papaw.”

Claude was a wonderful and upstanding Christian man. He was a long-time member of Smith Chapel Church of Christ, and he later became a member at Souder Church of Christ where he was currently attending. The very most important thing in life to Claude was that his children and grandchildren know Jesus and turn to the Good Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior.

Claude was preceded in death by his parents, Claude and Mary Nelson, and his siblings, Clovis, Glen, Thelma, Alice, Berthie, and Marie.

He is survived by his loving wife of 48 years, Linda Nelson, his seven children, Marie Scott, Cindy Mahan, Joseph Nelson, James Nelson, Claude Nelson, Heather Trevino, and Niki Jones, 23 grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, one brother, Buddy Nelson, one sister, Velma Wages, and many nephews, nieces, and extended family and friends who will miss him.

She was a nurse by calling, spending years caring for people in San Luis Obispo and Fresno, California. It was in San Luis Obispo that she met Vernon, the love of her life—a meeting that would shape the rest of her story.Together, they built a life rooted in shared purpose and adventure. Shirley later became an Air Life nurse out of Greeley, Colorado, continuing her work in some of the most critical moments of people’s lives. Eventually, she and Vernon made their way to Alaska, where she worked at the Alaska Native Hospital in Anchorage while he served in the medical corps at Elmendorf Air Force Base.Those years were filled with meaning and partnership, and a shared love of the outdoors. They spent their time fly fishing, exploring, and simply being together—moments that remain among the most cherished.After Vernon’s passing, Shirley moved to Mansfield, Missouri, where she and her daughter, Sarah, opened a beloved bookstore, A New Chapter—a place that continues to bring joy and connection to the community.Shirley was intelligent, thoughtful, and unapologetically strong-willed. She lived life on her own terms, steady in who she was and how she chose to move through the world.She will be deeply missed by her family and all who knew her, but her presence is not something that simply fades. It lives on in the lives she touched, the care she gave, and the quiet strength she carried. We take comfort in believing that the soul continues on and even returns—that this is not an end, but a transition. Because love, in all its forms, never truly leaves us.

Tommy Erie Gaddis

Tommy Erie Gaddis, 79, entered Heaven on March 15, 2026, at his daughter’s home in Muskogee, Oklahoma, surrounded by all of his children. He arrived in the presence of Jesus on Ricki’s birthday—a coincidence the family believes was a special gift from God. Tommy often shared that he had been away from Ricki for far too long.

Tommy was baptized in the spring of 1979 at Fox Creek by Pastor Keys on a cold day. His children, Misti and Shane, were baptized alongside him.

He was born on January 23, 1947, at home on the family farm in Mountain Grove, Missouri, to Erie and Winnie (Cantrell) Gaddis, who preceded him in death. Tommy attended Ellis, a one-room schoolhouse, before attending Mountain Grove High School. Following high school, he worked at Brown Shoe Company and Holsum Bread.

In 1982, Tommy began his career in public service as a patrolman for the Mountain Grove Police Department. He was elected Chief of Police in 1989 and faithfully served in that role until 2004. He then continued his service as Eastern District Commissioner of Wright County until 2012. He often said it was a great privilege to serve the citizens of Mountain Grove and Wright County for thirty years. He was especially proud that his sons and grandsons, Cory and Tristan, followed in the law enforcement profession.

On January 14, 1968, Tommy married the love of his life, Ricki Hopper. To this union, four children were born. In addition to his parents, Tommy was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Ricki Gaddis; sisters, Fern Johnson and Faye (Gene) Stottlemyre; brothers, Dale (Anne) and Donnie Gaddis; granddaughter, Schellby Loge; and great-granddaughter, Andi Loge Beauvais.

Tommy is survived by his four cherished children: daughter, Misti and Ovie Loge of Muskogee, Oklahoma, son, Shane and Kathy Gaddis of Kansas City, Missouri, son, Aaron and Melanie Gaddis of O’Fallon, Missouri, and daughter, Megan and Jack Noirfalise of Cabool, Missouri. He was blessed with 20 grandchildren whom “Pa Tommy” deeply loved: Cory, Tristan, and Talon (Haylee) Watson, Jonathan (Ashley) Cook, Andrew, Joel, Dylan, and Mackenzie Loge, Connor Gaddis, Aiden, Luke, and Chase Johnson, Matty Roth, Chaseton, Carson, and Parker Gaddis, Hunter Sparks, and Trenton Noirfalise, Maecy (Bryndynn) Montgomery, and Brody Noirfalise. He is also survived by his great-grandchildren: Embri Watson, Amelia Loge, Levi Beauvais, Addison Gaddis, and Axle Eaton.

Additional survivors include his sisters-in-law, Dee Gaddis of Troy, Missouri, Cheryl Womack of Peoria, Arizona, Michele Lietch of Marshfield, Missouri, and Donna Hopper of Republic, Missouri; and brother-in-law, James (Sharon) Hopper of Greenwood, Arkansas. Tommy also leaves behind numerous nieces and nephews whom he loved as his own, along with many dear friends.

Tommy had a deep love for his family, his community, and his favorite teams, the St. Louis Cardinals and the Kansas City Chiefs. He was a familiar face at his grandchildren’s sporting events and school activities and treasured traveling with Ricki and his family.

Tommy also served on numerous boards that benefited his community, including:

Law Enforcement Traffic Safety Advisory Council

Southwest Missouri Drug Task Force

Wright County Child Death Review

Mountain Grove Alumni Memorial Park

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial contributions be made to “Shop With A Hero,” a nonprofit organization Tommy founded to support children in need.

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate medical professionals who cared for Tommy, including Dr. Wes Triplett, Dr. Ibrahim Abdalla, and Dr. Kishore Vipperla; the therapists and nurses at Complete Home Health; and the staff at Complete Hospice. Special thanks are given to his loving caregiver, Shelby Loughmiller.

The family also expresses their gratitude to Craig-Hurtt Funeral Home in Mountain Grove, Cornerstone Funeral Home in Muskogee, Chief Danny Bledsoe, and the Mountain Grove Police Department for their beautifully coordinated efforts in bringing Tommy home.

Tommy’s legacy of service, love, and dedication to family and community will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

Beverly loved the Lord deeply and found great comfort in her faith. She especially enjoyed listening as her daughters and grandchildren read the Bible to her. She treasured time spent fishing at the lake with Ralph and her two beloved puppies, Pete and Barkley. Shopping wasn’t just a hobby for Beverly—it was a passion—and she always had something special to wear. She also loved baking beautiful angel food cakes and tending to the flowers in her garden.

Beverly was well known for her beautiful, bright red hair, something friends and family admired and talked about throughout her life. She will be remembered for her laugh, her love of Lay’s potato chips and Three Musketeers candy bars, but most of all for the family she created and loved so very much.

She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew her.

John 14:2–3 “In my Father’s house are many rooms… I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” ”

A private memorial service will be held by the family at a later date.

Elizabeth A. Haney

Elizabeth Annetta Haney, age 92 of Seymour, Missouri, passed away Wednesday, March 11, 2026, in Glenwood Rehabilitation and Health Center, Seymour, with family present.

Elizabeth was born on September 24, 1933, in Independence, Missouri, the daughter of Clarence and Wilma (Lewright) Kemmerer. She graduated from Northeast High School in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1951. She married Charles Haney, her loving husband of 60 years, on May 22, 1953.

Elizabeth was proud of her start in the business world while working for Rothchild’s Clothing Store in downtown Kansas City, Missouri. She began working there as a cashier during the summer when she was 15 and continued working weekends and some nights during the school year. When she was a senior, she began working as a bookkeeper for Rothchild’s while enrolled in the COE program, which allowed her to attend school for one hour a day and work for the remainder of the day. She liked to tell family members that she was the only one working in the store that was trained on some of the “modern” office equipment that was used.

Charles and Elizabeth moved to their farm near the old P*e Wee store, east of Seymour, in 1962. Charles originally operated a dairy, but later raised beef cattle. Elizabeth was a proud homemaker, but she also worked as a bookkeeper for the farm and for Charles’ businesses when he installed chain link fence as a contractor for Sears for many years, White Top Gas Company, and Haney Implement Company, a farm implement business they owned for about 20 years.

She was an active member of First Baptist Church of Seymour. She participated in WMU and worked in the kitchen as a member of the Bereavement Committee for many years. She also did volunteer work for New Tribes Mission and supported Choices Pregnancy Center in Marshfield, Missouri. She was singing in the choir at age 16 when she felt the need to go forward at the end of the service to accept Jesus as Christ and Savior and was later baptized. This past summer she felt the need to be assured of her salvation and went forward at a Wednesday night service at First Baptist to publicly proclaim Jesus as her Savior. You are never too old to be saved!

Elizabeth was proud of her family and was devoted to their care. She was at her happiest planning and preparing meals at her home for family gatherings during holidays and special occasions. She rejoiced at the need for additional table space to accommodate the growing number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren through the years.

She enjoyed traveling with Charles on the many trips he won as a top Massey-Ferguson dealer. They were able to go to Hawaii, California, Florida, and on a Caribbean cruise, among the locales. After retirement, they loved to travel in their 5th wheel camper, especially in Colorado, and staying at Treasure Lake in Branson. Much to the surprise of their sons, she also convinced Charles to take up square-dancing for a time, where they enjoyed the fellowship of other couples.

Preceding her in death were her parents; her husband, Charles; her son, Gary; her son, Dan; and her sister, Marion Bauer.

Survivors include her son, Ken (Debby) of Marshfield, Missouri; daughters-in-law Tammy (Gary, dc’d) of Seymour, Missouri, and Cindy (Dan, dc’d) of Booneville, Arkansas; grandchildren, Jeff, Jason, Matthew, Joshua, Elizabeth, and Andrew Haney; and great-grandchildren, Brayden, Layla, Landon, Jailyn, Hudson, Haidyn, Weston, Finton, Chamberlain, Adelyn, and Leona Haney, Jonah, Clara Grace, and David Justice.

Memorial contributions may be made to Choices Pregnancy Center, 1350 Spur Drive Ste. 160, Marshfield, MO 65706.
