Donald Adamson

Donald Ray Adamson, 88, of Mountain Grove, Missouri, was born on August 16, 1938, to Donald William Adamson and Macie Marie (Weaver) Adamson. He departed this life on September 5, 2026, in Springfield, Missouri, surrounded by the love of his family.

Donnie attended Norwood Schools and graduated from Norwood High School with the Class of 1955. After graduation, Donnie served his country in the United States Navy. His time in the Navy shaped his character, instilling discipline, resilience, and a deep sense of duty that stayed with him throughout his life.

Upon returning home, Donnie began building a life rooted in hard work and dedication. He worked at Producer Creamery, spent time driving a truck, and eventually found his calling in the dairy business. For more than 30 years, he devoted himself to the demanding but rewarding work of dairy farming. After selling his dairy cattle, he continued his commitment to agriculture through a beef operation until his retirement.

Some of Donnie's favorite memories were of him hunting and fishing. He was happiest when surrounded by the quiet beauty of nature. He cherished the outdoors and found peace in its simplicity. Known as a good neighbor and a loyal friend, Donnie was the kind of man who made communities stronger. His kindness, humility, and steady presence touched countless lives.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Donald and Macie Adamson.

Donnie is survived by his beloved wife, Darlene, of Mountain Grove, Missouri; step-sons, Jeff Whitman of Springfield, Missouri, Kent Whitman (Stacy) of Mountain Grove, and Aaron Whitman of Mountain Grove; Tilly Labadie, whom Donnie thought of as a daughter, of the state of Okkahoma; his siblings, Marlyn Yvonne (Carl) Henslee of Mansfield, Missouri, Kathryn Juanita (Lester) Allen of Grapevine, Texas, Evelyn Marie (Ronnie) Baker of Mansfield, and Keith (Joyce) Adamson of Mansfield; along with a host of nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and great- grandchildren who each held a special place in his heart.

If it was worth doing, Donnie did it 110%. His love for others was no exception. Donnie loved fiercely and would do anything for anyone. He will be deeply missed by all who were blessed to share even a small part of life with him —a life well lived and a legacy that will continue to shine.

Nancy was a great crafter.

She was an amazing flower arrangement creator as could be seen in the flowers she made for two of her grandkids weddings. She loved to travel with family and friends. She really enjoyed going to the casino and playing those “one armed bandits.” But there was nothing she enjoyed more than taking care of her grandbabies, being with her family, and feeding everyone.

Nancy is survived by her son, Danny Cummins (Theresa) of Seymour, Missouri; her daughter, Angela Carlberg (Shawn) of Rogersville; five grandchildren, Ethen Carlberg (Gracie), Zoey Finley (Michael), Amanda Thompson, Jessica Aguilar (Danny), and Daniel Cummins (Veronica); great-grandchildren, Lance Aguilar, Gavin Aguilar, Kaydence Mitchell, Kevin Mitchell (Ashton), Riley Mitchell, Amelia Cummins, Johnathan Cummins, Grace Cummins, Remi Cummins, and Michael “Trey” Finley; great-great-grandchildren, Ryder Mitchell, Kaise Mitchell, and Blaine Mitchell; two brothers, Randy Hake (Roxie) and Russell Hake (Cindy); numerous nephews and nieces; and many other relatives and dear friends who will miss her greatly.

Luanne M. Brown

Luanne Mary Brown, 74, of Cabool, Missouri, passed away on September 3, 2026, at Sunterra Springs in Springfield, Missouri.

Luanne was born on April 3, 1952, in Herscher, Illinois, to Bernard and Louise Rivard. Raised in a multigenerational farming family, she spent many years working alongside her parents and brother on the family farm. She graduated from Herscher High School, earned an associate’s degree in liberal studies from Kankakee Community College and a bachelor’s degree from Northern Illinois University in history and social studies, with minors in art history and English. A lifelong hard worker, Luanne often held multiple jobs, including positions at a country club, Roper Outdoor Products, Venture Stores, and a travel agency, as well as work as a waitress. Teaching, however, was her true passion. Even after retiring, she continued to serve local schools for many years as a substitute teacher.

Luanne and Jerry first met over a game of pool. She played hard to get, but Jerry didn’t give up. What started as a friendly rivalry at the pool table grew into a lifelong partnership. They were married on March 16, 1984, and later celebrated their marriage at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in Kankakee, Illinois. Their marriage spanned more than four decades.

Luanne and Jerry built a life together that included two family businesses. They first opened and operated a tavern in Kankakee, Illinois, and later moved to Cabool, Missouri, where they operated a liquor store. After many years of self-employment, they retired in September 2007.

Luanne was deeply involved in the church, volunteering her time to clean and cook, serving as a lector and cantor, and spending many years as a CCD teacher. A member of several parishes over the years, she was respected and well known as a woman of deep Catholic faith who lived her beliefs with quiet strength and devotion.

A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, Luanne had a special gift for making people feel at home. She never knew a stranger; she saw only friends she had not yet met. Always ready with a kind word or a listening ear, she welcomed others with an open heart. Music was one of her great joys. A gifted vocalist, she sang at church and performed at numerous events and weddings. She also enjoyed graphic design, reading, gardening, watching nature, bowling in many leagues, studying history and art, attending live music and theatre, and following the Green Bay Packers and Chicago White Sox. Her love of travel took her as far as England, Ireland, and much of the United States. Above all, she cherished time with her family.

Luanne was a brilliant, educated woman of many talents, but her loved ones knew her best for always being present when they needed her. Whether at swim meets, cheerleading events, choir and band concerts, theatre productions, or any activity involving her children or friends, she traveled wherever she was needed and never missed an opportunity to show her support. Throughout her life, she was a rock her loved ones could always rely on.

Luanne will be lovingly remembered for the warmth she shared so freely, her gift for making friends wherever she went, and her steadfast devotion to her family and faith. Her love and gentle spirit will live on in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Bernard and Louise Rivard, her parents-in-law, Clem and Dorothy Brown, and sister-in-law Catherine Rivard.

Luanne is survived by her husband, Jerry; her daughter, Kayla (Michael) Skelton, of New Boston, Texas; her son, Jack (Jamie), of Nixa, Missouri; her daughter, Carrie Devore, of Bradley, Illinois; her grandchildren, Jemma and Jensen Brown, Savannah and Cody Crane, and Drew and McKenzie Devore; her brother, George Rivard; and her nieces, Suzie, Missy, and Maggie, who were dear to her.

A visitation will begin at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 8, 2026, at Craig-Hurtt Funeral Home in Mountain Grove, with the Rosary to follow. A funeral Mass will be celebrated at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Mountain Grove. On Friday, September 11, 2026, a visitation will be held from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at Clancy-Gernon Funeral Home in Bourbonnais, Illinois, with interment to follow at All Saints Cemetery in Bourbonnais, Illinois.

In lieu of flowers, the family invites memorial contributions to a charity of the donor’s choice or to the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation in Luanne’s honor.

Ruth was also known to make the absolute best blackberry cobbler ever!

On July 25, 2026, Ruth made her public profession of faith and was baptized, a very proud moment for her and her entire family.

Ruth was preceded in death by her parents, James, and Allie Gilmore, six children, Grace, Andrew, Mike, Kenneth, James, and Cindy, ten siblings, Evelyn, Louise, Bum, Billy Joe, Richard, Wanda, Joyce, Robert, Charles, and Sharon, and two grandchildren, KC and Christie.
