Obituary - Jean Gatlin
A graduate of Louisburg High School, where she was part of the Class of 1970, Jean exemplified strength and independence throughout her life. She worked diligently as a mother, a homemaker and later as an office manager for the Kansas Department of Wildlife & Parks for over 20 years, where her dedication to her job mirrored her commitment to those she loved. Jean's headstrong nature and unwavering resolve allowed her to navigate her career while raising a family and supporting her friends.
On a magical Christmas evening in 1969, Jean married Bill Gatlin, in a ceremony at the Paola Methodist Church. Their union was a testament to a love, dedication, and resolve that lasted 56 years; they shared a home filled with laughter, support, and endless memories. Together, they had two sons, William and Jeffrey, who continued to uphold the family legacy of love and strength. Jean delighted in her role as a grandmother to her three granddaughters, Eva, Dani, and Scarlett Gatlin, providing them with warmth, wisdom, and a sense of adventure.
Jean's passions extended far beyond her professional accomplishments. She found immense joy in reading, cooking and baking, along with all sorts of crafting that included sewing, ceramics, and crocheting. An avid lover of nature and the outdoors, she cherished days spent fishing, camping, and canoeing with family and friends - soaking in the beauty of the world around her. Jean’s caring spirit is remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her; she was always ready to lend a helping hand, offering support to anyone in need.
Jean is preceded in death by her beloved parents, George and Eva Jacobs, along with her brothers, George Jacobs II and Sonny Jacobs, and her sisters, Earlene (Bill) Phillips, Sheila Jacobs, and Diane (Bob) McGonagle, as well as her son, Jeffrey Gatlin. Their memories live on in the loving hearts of those she leaves behind.
Jean's life was a beautiful tapestry woven with love, independence, and a commitment to family and friends. Though she may no longer walk among us, her spirit and the values she embodied will forever resonate in the lives of her husband, Charles "Bill" Gatlin; her son, William (Melissa) Gatlin; her three granddaughters, Eva, Dani, and Scarlett Gatlin; her brother, Jerry Jacobs; and her sister, Midge (Rob) Towery.
She will also be missed dearly by her many nieces and nephews to whom she represented not only family but a friend, a confidant, and so much more.
As we remember Jean, let us carry forward her legacy of love, generosity, and fierce nature ensuring that her brave spirit continues to shine brightly in our hearts.
Celebration of life will be held from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm, Saturday, November 8, 2025, at Town Square Event Space, 15 W Wea St, Paola, Kansas 66071.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made payable to Always and Furever Midwest Animal Sanctuary, c/o Dengel & Son Mortuary, P.O. Box 669, Louisburg, Kansas 66053.

Obituary - Mitchell Tracy
Mitchell was a jack of all trades, master of none. Worked for IEC, did construction and remodeling homes in his community. He often assisted the retired people of Freeman. Mitchell loved the great outdoors, spending his life collecting rocks, meteorites and arrowhead hunting. He was an avid fisherman and spent as much time at the river as he could. Mitchell was a bit of an oddball but a great friend with a good spirit, he would give you the shirt off his back. People close to him will always remember his screaming laughter and great sense of humor.
Mitchell is preceded in death by his brother Dylan Tracy and his mother Linea Tracy. He leaves behind his daughter Shyan Haynes and husband Brandon, his son Lucas Tracy, Father Michael Tracy, sister Naomi Mayfield and husband Kenneth, nephew Marshall and Niece Aurora and many Aunts, Uncles, cousins and countless others.
"Oh Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the Winds, and whose breath gives life to all the world, Let me walk in beauty, and let me learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and Rock. So when life fades as the fading sunset, my spirit may come to you without shame."
Services are pending and will be posted once they become available, courtesy Dickey Funeral Home.
