Obituary - Kenneth Dayle Watson
He was born February 8, 1934 to the late Leland and Glenna Watson in New Concord, Ohio. Kenny married the love of his life, Patricia Henderson on April 8, 1955 and was the most devoted husband until the day she passed away.
Kenny was a member of the United States Army until he was honorably discharged in 1962. He held many jobs over the years including P&M Coal Mine, McGraw Edison, and owning Domino’s Pizza franchises in Massillon and Wadsworth, Ohio.
Kenny loved his family and would happily tell you how proud he was of all his grandkids for as long as you would listen.

Obituary - Johnnie Everett Chambers
John was born on February 10, 1940 in Cedar County, MO to Orval and Lois Chambers. He was the second born of seven children growing up in Cedar County. Just shy of his high school graduation, John enlisted in the US Marine Corp. He was stationed at Camp Pendleton, CA from June 1957 to November 1960, where he became a truck driver. John’s roots brought him back to his home in Mo. Soon after, he met the love of his life, Sharon Williams. They would marry on January 6, 1962 at the First Methodist Church in El Dorado Springs. Together, they had three children; Teresa, Johnna, and Johnny. He was a hard working man, painting water towers and driving trucks, gaining his CB nickname Buzzard. He would go on to work for more than 20 years before retiring at Mid America Dairy.
John had many hobbies throughout his lifetime. Fishing, fixing up old boats, reading westerns, trail riding, going to horse shows, traveling on long motorcycle rides, playing cards with friends and family. One of John’s biggest passions was his love for hunting and running his dogs, often tearing up a truck or two. He raised and sold July Hounds for many years. John was a man of few words with a big heart. Devoted husband and loving father, he will be deeply missed.
John left behind-his wife Sharon Chambers of fifty-nine years; two daughters Teresa (Jim) Graves, and Johnna Potter; one son Johnny Chambers; 3 brothers Gary Chambers, Larry (Tracy) Chambers, and Roger (Cathy) Chambers; two sisters Janet (Jerald) Jones, and Melody (Steve) Johnson; two brothers-in-law Jim Williams, and Dave (Billie) Williams; eleven grandchildren; eighteen great grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. John is preceded in death by his parents Orval and Lois, his brother Clarence, three sisters-in-law Marianne Chambers, Connie Williams, and Linda Williams, and one granddaughter Nicole Cain.
Obituary - Peggy Lee Diggins
Peggy grew up in Nevada, with her brother, Jack. During her childhood you could always find her on the farm with her dad; a time which cultivated her love of animals. Peggy attended both the University of Arkansas and University of Missouri. She retired as the Building Services Supervisor at 3M in April of 2010, after 21 years. While she thoroughly enjoyed a day at home riding the golf cart with her husband and dogs, she was the happiest anywhere her family was. Those who knew Peggy know that her proudest accomplishment was her grandchildren. No matter the activity, she never missed anything they were involved in, and was always their biggest cheerleader.
In addition to her husband, Steve, survivors include her brother Jack and his wife Sondra Nelson, as well as her children and grandchildren: Dawn, Bradyn, and Bradly Woods; Chris, Heather, Carsten, and Camryn Warner; Amy, Cory, Payton, Paxton, and Payge Dahmer; Kelly and Tracy, Kyle and Erin, and Klay Beisly & Janna. Great grandchildren include Zoey, Korbin, Emersyn, Kora, and Kooper Beisly. She was preceded in death by her parents, Harriet and Paul Nelson.
