Margaret Lee Inloes died Friday morning November 6, 2020, at the Gove County Long Term Care Facility.

She was born on the Lewis family farm in Smith County, Kansas November 29, 1922, the firstborn of Walter M. and Lelah I. Lewis. She graduated from Brewster High School in 1940 and prepared to be a teacher by attending Fort Hays State College for two years. While teaching in Quinter she met a young farmer Winfred Inloes. They married on December 22, 1944, on Winfred’s boot leave from the Navy. Winfred and Margaret Lee began farming with Winfred’s parents upon the completion of his service.

A deep faith and belief in God undergirded all of Margaret Lee’s days. She was committed to the Quinter Church of the Brethren and participated fully in the life of the congregation. M. Lee considered her five children one of her greatest blessings. She loved farming alongside W.D. in the fields and with the cattle and sheep. Some of her special women friends belonged to the Gyne-Fealti Club. She considered many younger friends to be ‘one of her kids’ or grandkids. Margaret Lee was a loyal and compassionate friend.

Preceding her in death was her husband Winfred, and great-grandson Caleb Bonde.

Survivors are her five children: Sharon (Keith) DuBois, Quinter; Charlotte (Edwin) Courtney, Hot Springs, Arkansas; Dana Inloes, Paola, Kansas; Dorothy (Jerry) McIntosh, Wichita, Kansas; David (Beverly) Inloes, Paola, Kansas; twelve grandchildren, eighteen great-grandchildren, one great, great-grandchild. Margaret Lee’s sister, Lorna May Stoner, Lawrence, Kansas, two nephews, two nieces, and their families also survive.

Visitation will be Thursday, November 12, 2020, from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Quinter Church of the Brethren with the funeral service to follow at 1:00 PM. Burial will take place at Baker Township Cemetery.
