    Korleen Wanita Hall, the daughter of George E. and Luella H. (Hollister) Dean, was born on May 2, 1940, on the family farm near Mapleton. She received her education from Maple Valley High School, graduating with the class of 1958.
    In the spring of 1958, Korleen married Forest L. Flannery, and together they welcomed four children: Dean, Diane, Denis, and Deneen. The family settled in Indiana where Korleen spent much of her life working as a bookkeeper for various businesses. Following Forest's passing in 1973, Korleen married Farris Hall on November 23 of that same year. They later returned to Iowa where they established their home in the Ticonic area to pursue new job opportunities and be nearer to family.
    When her daughters were young, Korleen served as a Girl Scout leader and stayed busy taking her children to their many activities. After returning to Iowa, she became a member of St. John's United Methodist Church in Mapleton. Korleen enjoyed crocheting, baking, and gardening, and she had a spirited personality, never hesitating to speak her mind.
    For the past year and a half, Korleen made her home at Maple Heights due to declining health. She appreciated her time there, and her family is grateful for the compassionate care provided by the staff.
    Left to cherish her memory include her children Diane Flannery of Sloan, Denis Flannery of Danbury, and Deneen (Joe) Schrank of Danbury; grandchildren Brad, Brandie, Katie (Jeremy), Michael, Christopher (Frankie), Jason, and Donn; great-grandchildren Ethan, Kassadi, Kolten, Dalton, Lilly, Keely, Dale, Ruth, and Grady; sister Georgia Scheer of Mapleton; and extended family and friends.

    Katherine Hattie "Babe" Moser, the fourth of seven children born to Albert John and Bessie Jane (Iddings) Rosauer, entered the world on July 14, 1928, on the family farm north of Danbury. Rooted in faith from the very beginning, she was baptized as an infant in the Catholic Church and later confirmed, a devotion that would remain a steady and guiding presence throughout her life. She spent her childhood on the farm and attended Morgan Township Country School where her early years were shaped by family, hard work, and community.
    At just 14 years old, Katherine began her working life as a clerk at Montgomery Ward in Sioux City. She later returned to Danbury, continuing her work at Weary Drug Store. It was there, amidst everyday moments and simple pleasures, that she met Donald P. Moser, who would stop in from time to time for an ice cream shake. What began as chance encounters soon grew into a lifelong partnership.
    On January 19, 1948, Katherine and Don were united in marriage at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Danbury. Together, they built a life grounded in love, faith, and dedication, raising their family on a farm outside of Danbury. They were blessed with eight children, and Katherine embraced motherhood with deep joy and unwavering commitment. Her family remained the center of her world, and she took great pride in watching it grow to include grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and even great-great-grandchildren.
    After her children were grown, Katherine found fulfillment in quieter pursuits. She spent time working at Betty's Bargains, mowing her lawn, and watching the EWTN Network.
    A devoted and lifelong member of St. Mary's Catholic Church in Danbury, Katherine lived her faith with sincerity and grace. She faithfully prayed the rosary and held her family in prayer each day. As a member of the Rosary Society, she remained actively engaged in her church community, embodying a life of devotion, humility, and enduring love.
    Left to cherish her memory are her children: Dwight (Lois) Moser of Mapleton, David (Karen) Moser of Urbandale, Donna Dose-Boysen of Danbury, Doug (Barb) Moser of Danbury, Dean (Barb) Moser of Danbury, and Mark (Terri) Moser of Maple Grove, MN; 18 grandchildren, 43 great grandchildren, and 9 great-great grandchildren; sister Barb (Mike) Peters of Arkansas; son-in-law Mike McDaniel of Kansas City; sister-in-law Verna Rosauer of Sioux City; extended family and friends.
    Katherine was preceded in death by her parents, Albert and Bessie Rosauer; husband Donald P. Moser; son Donovan Carl Moser; daughter Debra "Debbie" McDaniel; three infant grandsons: Thomas, Peter, and Michael; two sisters and three brothers; and son-in-law Paul Dose.
