Obituary - Nettie Vickers
Growing up in Fairfax, Nettie was nurtured in the heart of Oklahoma, where she first developed her strong faith that would guide her throughout her life. She attended Sacred Heart Catholic School until the sixth grade, before graduating from Fairfax High School. Her thirst for knowledge and passion for science led her to Sacred Heart College in Wichita, Kansas, where she proudly earned a Bachelor's degree in science. Her academic achievements paved the way for a fulfilling career; she began her journey as a chemist at MD Anderson Hospital, later contributing her talents to the Department of Welfare in Wichita and ultimately in Paola, Kansas.
In her personal life, Nettie's heart found its home when she married her beloved husband, John Vickers, on May 10, 1969, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Fairfax. Together, they cultivated a life filled with shared dreams and hard work, taking to farming as a symbol of their enduring partnership and commitment to one another. The couple lived in Louisburg, Kansas, where they farmed together.
Nettie’s creative spirit radiated through her many hobbies. She was a gifted artist, skilled in crafting, painting, ceramics, and drawing. Her artistry not only reflected her individuality but also brought joy to those around her. As a dedicated member of the Altar Society at Immaculate Conception in Louisburg, her contributions resonated deeply within her community, where she embraced the chance to give back and spread her faith.
Nettie's legacy is fortified by her strength, faith, and kindness—qualities that will permeate the hearts of those who were privileged to know her. She reunites in peace with her parents, Alex Tall Chief, III and Juanita Tall Chief, and her siblings, Elizabeth Tall Chief, Patricia Marshall, and Alex Tall Chief, IV, whose absence she has felt so profoundly.
She leaves behind her loving husband, John Vickers, who will carry her memory forward, cherishing each moment they shared. Nettie will forever be remembered not only for her accomplishments and artistic talents but for the deep love and light she shared with everyone who crossed her path. Her spirit will live on in the hearts of all she touched, reminding us of the beauty of faith, family, and unwavering love.
Rosary will be prayed at 10:00 am, Wednesday, December 3, 2025, at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, 606 S Elm Street, Louisburg, Kansas 66053. Visitation will follow at 10:30 am. Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11:00 am. Burial will follow mass at the Paola Cemetery.

Carol “Dutch” Ann Peters was born on June 8, 1934, in Pittsburg, Kansas, the daughter of Arthur Lee Tanner and Mary Ann Tanner. She grew up in Pittsburg, where she excelled both academically and socially. Carol was an honor student, was crowned prom queen, and proudly won a local swimsuit competition during her school years.
Shortly after graduating high school, Carol married the love of her life, James “Jim” Eldon Peters. Together they raised two sons, and Carol devoted her early years to being a loving and involved mother. She filled their childhood with birthday parties, celebrations, and endless support.
As their sons grew older, Carol and Jim began working side-by-side at The Xchanger, where they built countless memories and became well-known in the community. Their involvement extended far beyond work; they were active supporters and sponsors of local organizations, including Ducks Unlimited and the National Wild Turkey Federation, reflecting their deep commitment to their community.
Outside of work, Carol cherished her time on the golf course with Jim and her close circle of friends. She was especially proud of achieving two holes-in-one on Hole 5 at the Butler Country Club— an accomplishment she loved to share. She also enjoyed crocheting, reading, and spent years perfecting her famous garden salsa. Springtime was one of her greatest joys, when she could sit outside and admire the flowers she nurtured so carefully.
Above all, Carol loved her family. She adored her husband, who affectionately called her “Dutch,” and she treasured her sons and grandchildren, who lovingly called her “Maz.” Time spent with her family was when she found her greatest happiness.
Carol is preceded in death by her parents, Arthur and Mary Tanner; her siblings John “Jack” Tanner, Mary Beth Tanner, and James “Jimmy” Tanner; and her husband, James "Jim” Peters.
She is survived by her sons: Jim and Ellen Peters of Dublin, Georgia, and Jon and Audra Peters of Butler, Missouri; and her beloved grandchildren Kelly Peters, Chase Peters, Trenton Peters, Austin Peters, Tanner Peters, and Carter Peters.
Carol’s family will forever miss their mom and grandma, their beloved “Maz.” They take comfort in knowing that Carol and Jim are reunited once again, sharing in eternal peace. Her love, her strength, and her memory will live on in all who knew her.
