David Bradley Nelson, son of Norris William and Helen Leighty Nelson, was born October 20th, 1941, in Lincoln, Nebraska. He passed away at his home in Topeka, Kansas on November 4th, 2021, at the age of 80 years and 15 days.

David was confirmed in the Evangelical Covenant Church in McPherson, Kansas in 1953. He accepted Christ as his personal Savior that year at Camp Washunga. David was later baptized at First Baptist Church of McPherson. For over 2 decades, he was a member of Northland Christian Church in Topeka, Kansas where he loved singing in the choir. Often on Palm Sunday, he would sing Handel’s Messiah with a special choir at Bethany College in Lindsborg, Kansas.

He was united in marriage to Patricia (Patty) Louise Noller on October 7th, 1960, in the Danforth Chapel on the Kansas State University campus located in Manhattan, Kansas. During college, David lettered in golf and won many tournaments playing for the K-State Golf Team. After college, they began their new life in Dodge City, Kansas where David was an accountant. To his marriage with Patty, five sons were eventually born: Bradley Allen, Montgomery Paul, Spencer Douglas, Justin Miles, and Chandler John. Later, they relocated to McPherson, Kansas to settle down and raise their boys. He was also the owner of Continental Aluminum Inc. from 1965 – 1978. David also became a Real Estate Broker, an Accountant with various manufacturing companies, a Credit Manager and finally a Senior Accountant with the City of Topeka, Kansas retiring in 2006. After retirement, he and his wife Patty enjoyed touring the southern states where it was warm playing golf and hitting the casinos.

David loved ALL outside sports, especially those where Patty and the sons could participate. He was an avid upland and big game hunter. In the fall, he could be found hunting pheasants, quail, ducks. Special times were “The Big Hunt” along the Kansas / Nebraska Stateline at Thanksgiving. The deer hunting at Monte’s, crappie fishing at Lake Perry in the spring, and wading the Smokey and Little Blue Rivers for catfish during the summer. He also cherished the many golf scrambles with his wife Patty and sons. Each event included the family as much as possible. Other special times included teaching his grandsons, Jordan and Levi, how to hunt and fish. David was an entrepreneur and businessman teaching his family the importance of finances throughout his life.

He is survived by: his wife, Patricia of Topeka, Kansas; his four sons, Montgomery Paul of Marquette, Kansas, Spencer Douglas of Kansas City, Missouri, Justin Miles of Muskogee, Oklahoma, Chandler John of Marquette, Kansas. He was preceded in death by his first-born son, Bradley Allen Nelson in 2016. He is also survived by grandchildren, Jordan, Levi, Hannah, Moriah, Josiah &amp; Asher from Spencer and wife, Laurie, and grandchildren, Riley, Miles, and Hope from Justin and wife, Joy. He is also survived by one brother, John Mark Nelson and wife, Susan, of Bronx, New York and one sister, Margaret Louise Krehbiel and husband, Mike, of McPherson, Kansas. David is also survived by many nieces, nephews, and other relatives, along with many friends.

Famous sayings &amp; notes from David: “Back nine on Sunday” for golfing, “Don’t shoot the ducks” while hunting, “Rats” missed opportunity, “Dirty Dog” while fishing, “Zig-Zag” and “It’s a Runner – RUN” while pheasant hunting, “About 10-12 years ago” in conversation, “Let’s see what’s over the hill” while exploring, “Don’t see any fins” while fishing, “Can’t eat the horns” while deer hunting; “Money Putt” while golfing, “High Brush” while hunting” and “Crappie King” while fishing. “Calcutta”, “Hello 7!”, “They’re in the milo”, “Make sure” and the big three: Hunt, Fish &amp; Golf. Remember “Official Beverages? Do you want to buy a pallet of pop?”.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held at 2:00 PM, Saturday, November 13, 2021, at the Northland Christian Church, 3102 NW Topeka Blvd., Topeka, KS 66617.

Glenna Rae Premer (White) passed away on the morning of November 6, 2021. She was being treated for leukemia at the University of Kansas Medical Center and passed away suddenly. She was 68 years old. Glenna was born on September 2, 1953 in Sayre, Oklahoma, the daughter of Clarence W. and Ruth Susie (Cooper) White. Her family moved to Guthrie and then to Perry, Oklahoma where she graduated from Perry High School. Glenna married LeWayne Arden Premer on April 30, 1976. LeWayne brought two children, Roni and Randy, to the marriage. Later, Glenna and LeWayne added two more children, Ann and Ryan, to their family. The family settled in McPherson, where her husband and his brothers would own and operate Sirloin Stockades and later Montana Mikes across Kansas, Oklahoma, and Arizona. They also had the Best Western Holiday Manor in McPherson, which LeWayne’s parents Lester and Grace had owned and operated. Glenna raised their children and supported her husband and their business. She was a vivacious, doting mom who deeply loved her children and provided heaps of encouragement. After her husband passed away and her children had graduated from college, Glenna moved to Lawrence where she has lived the past 17 years. Glenna fell in love with Lawrence after spending so much time there while her daughter was at the University of Kansas. She loved being a part of the community and had dear friends in her neighborhood. She was known to all in the Westwood Hills neighborhood where she was seen daily with a smile walking her beloved dogs, “the girls” Isabel and Lilli. In 2017, her daughter, Ann, and her family returned to Lawrence and moved to the same neighborhood as Glenna. Glenna “Nonna” became a fixture for her granddaughters, Mia and Libby, and was there for countless basketball games, soccer games, ballet recitals, piano recitals, birthdays, holidays, movies, dinners, swimming at the neighborhood pool, baking lots of cookies and just hugs. In McPherson, Glenna worked as a reporter at the McPherson Sentinel. Later, she worked as a court-certified mediator. She was the first coordinator of the small claims mediation project in the McPherson District Court from 2002 to 2004. She received mediation certificates from Bethel College and was certified by the Kansas Supreme Court. She started the Mediation Resource Center, Inc., a non-profit in Douglas County in 2007. In 2008, the Heartland Mediators Association presented her with the Margaret “Peg” Nichols Volunteer of the Year Award for distinguished service and commitment in the practice of conflict resolution. Glenna is survived by her daughter, Ann Premer and husband Rich Federico and their daughters Emilia “Mia” Premer Federico and Elizabeth “Libby” Premer Federico all of Lawrence. She is also survived by her children and family through LeWayne, daughter, Roni Hernandez of Albuquerque (husband, Michael), son, Randy Premer of McPherson, grandson Aaron Premer (wife, Makenzie Premer), granddaughters, Jessica Larson (husband, Eric Larson), Melissa Gibbons (husband, Michael Gibbons), Michaela Hernandez, and great-granddaughters, Reghan and Gentry Premer, and Maya and Ella Larson, other family and a host of friends. She was preceded in death by her husband, son, Ryan, parents, Clarence and Ruth White, and her three brothers, Clarence Richard, Gene, and Gary White.
