On Oct. 29, 2020, our beautiful, loving, faithful and loyal friend was called to heaven. Kathy Mulanax was born in El Reno on Nov. 13, 1946. She leaves behind her partner of 40 years; two brothers, Steve Mulanax and wife, Linda, and Tommy (Buck) Mulanax and wife, Peggy; uncle, Ted Mulanax and wife, Ann, and aunt, Betty Mulanax of Texas; and a host of friends, nieces and nephews.

To those of us blessed to know her, we could all count on her to respond to any suggestion with a no, only to come back with okay in five minutes.

We’ll miss that and so much more.

Nancy Ruth Leck passed away Oct. 26, 2020, at her home in Geary at the age of 83.
