Due to ongoing issues with dirt bikes, four wheelers, etc being rode inside the cemetery & tearing up the gravel roads, all gates are closed except for the two middle ones, so you will need to use one of them to enter & exit. We are apologize for the inconvenience.

Edit to add: the board is taking this issue seriously & it is being handled. We wanted the public to be aware the gates were closed.

Memorial Day is a solemn day of remembrance to honor & mourn the men and women who have served this great nation. It is an honor to place the flags out at the cemetery, and a very somber image to stand out there and watch all the flags in the wind. Thank you to the brave souls who gave everything so we can live with freedom 🇺🇸

LAHOMA "DIANE" AUBREY

Lahoma “Diane” Aubrey, 80, passed away peacefully on Monday, July 28, 025, surrounded by the love of her family.

Funeral services will be held on Saturday, Aug. 2, at TP White & Sons Funeral Home in Mount Washington, Ohio. Graveside services will be at 10 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 7, 2025, with Rev.

Diane lived a vibrant and adventurous life, marked by significant achievements and a deep devotion to her family. Diane’s life was defined by her diverse accomplishments and experiences. She attended school in Skellytown and White Deer. She worked toward earning a pilot’s license and owned her own business. She spent many years in retail, and earlier in her career. She worked as a fashion model, secretary and bookkeeper. Her adventures took her to many places, from Oklahoma to Texas, Nevada, Arizona, Kansas, and finally Ohio.

Above all, Diane’s heart belonged to her family and friends. Her home was filled with hundreds of mementos and photos in albums, boxes, and frames throughout her home, each capturing precious moments. These memories were her greatest treasure, and she cherished every moment spent with her loved ones. Diane’s love was boundless, her spirit larger than life, and her legacy will live on in the hearts of those she touched.

She is preceded in death by her beloved mother, Lahoma Paul; her father, John Aubrey; her stepfather, Silas Paul; her dear son, Mark Rexroat; and sisters-in-law, Annetta Aubrey and Darlene Paul.

DANNY RAY COWAN

Danny Ray Cowan, 78 of Pampa, passed away on Tuesday, May 13, 2025 in Pampa.

Memorial services will be 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 17, 2025 at Community Crossroads Church in White Deer with Pastor Robert Gifford officiating. Military honors will be provided by Volleys for Veterans. Cremation and arrangements are under the direction of Carmichael-Whatley Funeral Directors and Crematory.

Danny was born April 29, 1947, in Pampa to Dollie and Sherman Cowan. He graduated from White Deer High School in 1966. In high school, he had a nickname of “Deacon”, because he was always preaching and that is what he wanted to be when he grew up. While he was at Frank Phillips College, Danny was drafted in the U.S. Army and served in Vietnam. He was proud of his service to his country, and he served faithfully. Upon his discharge, he returned to Pampa and went back to college and started working at Furr’s Supermarket. There, he met the love of his life, Leanna Odell. They married on March 5, 1977 in Pampa. She passed away on Dec. 22, 2021. Danny graduated from Frank Phillips College and Clarendon College all while he was working at Furr’s. Several years later, he began a 20-year career at Pampa News. He was a hard worker and enjoyed his job. Once he left there, he went back in the grocery business to work for United Supermarket for a few years. Danny’s last job was being a substitute teacher at Pampa High School. He loved to teach kids and help them. Some of the students would refer to him as “Einstein” because he was so knowledgeable and intelligent. Danny enjoyed learning as well. In 2023, he worked hard and earned his bachelor’s degree from WTAMU. He was the oldest in his class and was proud of it.

Danny had an eye for style; he loved to dress up in nice clothes and fancy ties. He enjoyed reading and collecting books. Danny also was a talented musician and had written several songs. He had written many poems over the years and loved to share them with his family. Danny was a kind and generous man who loved to give, and he always did it with grace and a smile on his face. He will be remembered for his jokes and his goofy personality. Danny was one of a kind. His grandchildren called him “Grandpa” and “Nanny”, and he was so proud of each of them. Danny’s love for his grandchildren was immense, and they returned the sentiment. They never left “nanny’s” house without a sweet snack or soft drink, sometimes to the dismay of his parents. Danny will be missed dearly by his grandchildren, his daughters, his extended family and everyone he encountered on a regular basis. His love for Trump was no secret, he was a proud American and supported President Trump. Above all he loved the Lord and his family.

He was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Leanna; sons, Gabriel Cowan and Christopher Cowan; sisters, Jeannie Wilkinson and Gwenda Peets; brothers, Sherman Cowan and Robert Cowan; and a brother-in-law, Kent Kelp.

Survivors include his two daughters, Raeanna Humphrey and husband Jonathon and Teddi Cowan and husband Gage Carruth, all of Pampa; sister, Vicki Kelp of White Deer; grandchildren, Jessica Cowan and husband Phillip, Bridgette Humphrey, Jaylee Torres, Zavier Torres, and Phoenix Carruth; great-grandchildren, Ava Hernandez Waldrop and Liam Hernandez Waldrop.

In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to Tunnels to Towers Foundation, www.t2t.org.
