Kenneth Riley West
CEDAR FALLS — Kenneth Riley West, 64, of Cedar
Falls, was called to the angels on March 20, 2006,
when his battle with cancer came to an end. Kenneth
lived out his last days per his wishes, at home
surrounded by his closest family and friends.
Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Friday at
Kearns, Huisman-Schumacher Chapel, 3146 Kimball
Ave., Waterloo, Iowa. Kenneth’s beloved brother,
Pastor Joseph West, will officiate. The family will
greet relatives and friends during a visitation held
from 3 until 9 p.m. Thursday at the chapel and also
one hour before the services. Burial services will
take place immediately following the service at Mt.
Olivet Cemetery.
A son of Kenneth McKenzie West and Luella Jane
Perkins, Ken was born on June 26, 1941, in Elgin,
S.D. He received his education in the Mason City,
Iowa, schools. Ken was united in marriage to the
love of his life, Charlene V. Sloan on October 25,
1969, in Glenville, Minn.
In 1976, Ken and Charlene moved their family to
Parkersburg, Iowa, where they were able to own and
run their own restaurant, The White Bear, for 14
years. After closing the restaurant in 1990, Ken and
Charlene planted their roots in Cedar Falls, Iowa.
It was here that throughout the years Ken worked as
head chef for the Romania Inn, managed Casey’s
Corner gas station, and worked at Community Motors
until his retirement in 2004. Ken served as a member
of St. Patrick’s Church, and held a prestige honor
as president of the Lions Club, where he received
Lion of The Year Award in 1982.
Ken was known to many by his nickname “Spike.” Ken
was always able to bring a smile to the eye of any
passer-by with his ability to make a joke and see
the lighter side of every situation. Ken
continuously gave to others with a free and loving
spirit. One could always depend on Ken when they
needed a laugh.
Ken’s favorite pastimes included being Charlene’s
very own “Mr. Fix-It,” caring for his lawn, and
being an avid sports fan. He was the Number One fan
in cheering his granddaughter, Ashley, to her many
victories with the Mason City Mohawks. Minnesota
Vikings, Iowa Hawkeyes, Chicago Cubs, and Rusty
Wallace (No. 2) of NASCAR were among his favorites.
Ken especially loved to watch his son, Nick, race
his stock car No. 2 around the track at various
sites in Iowa.
Ken’s love for his family and friends will be
cherished by all who had the privilege of sharing
his life. He will be dearly missed and is survived
in death by his loving wife, Charlene; children:

Emma
‘Jeane’ Morton
COULTER — Emma “Jeane” (Campbell) Morton, 80, of
Coulter, passed on Wednesday (March 22, 2006) in
her home surrounded by her family.
Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m.
Saturday at Nazareth Lutheran Church in Coulter
with Pastor Mary Peterson and Pastor Darwin Cole
officiating. Interment will be held at the
Coulter Cemetery.
Visitation will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday
at Sietsema-Vogel Funeral Home in Hampton.
Emma “Jeane” Morton, daughter of Robert and
Belva (Taylor) Campbell, was born Jan. 19, 1926,
in Liberty Center. Jeane was the youngest of
five siblings. She had three brothers and one
sister. She graduated from Lacona High School in
1944 with honors as valedictorian. She went on
to attend Simpson College where she received her
teaching degree and also was a member of the
Alpha Chi Sorority.
While teaching elementary classes in Franklin
County Consolidated School in Latimer for four
years, she met her future husband, E.J. “Mort”
Morton. After their marriage on April 19, 1947,
Jeane resigned her teaching career to become a
full-time homemaker.
She raised a large family, which includes one
daughter and seven sons. She also cared for her
parents in the same home for 17½ years.
With her strong commitment and dedication, she
helped her husband form a successful business
known as Mort’s Pump & Plumbing Co., and helped
attain its success for 35 years in the water
industry.
Jeane not only raised a large family, but also
had a large garden and was a great cook. In the
late 1950s, she worked part time for the Hampton
Nursing Home while her husband was recuperating
from back surgery.
Her hobby was writing poetry, which took her to
Washington D.C. on two occasions where she was
honored for her poem “Ode to Love.”
In 1996, Jeane was diagnosed by Mayo Clinic with
kidney failure and had been on dialysis up until
her death. She was a mentor and a friend to
many. She had a way of radiating such positivism
to those all around her and from that many
gleaned from her persona. Jeane was not only a
facilitator to those in her family, she was also
a major contributor to their own success as
well. She achieved her happiness watching others
succeed and was not one to seek any recognition
of her own. She will mostly be missed by the
deep appreciation she had for life, her
perseverance and style.
Emma Jeane Morton is survived by sons Kent
(Chris) Morton of Latimer, Robert (Jan) Morton
of Iowa Falls, Reginald (Jane) Morton of
Coulter, Seth (Julie) Morton of Coulter, Jason
Morton of Coulter, Tracy (Norma) Morton Coulter;
and daughter, Priscilla (Joel) Eddy of Latimer;
26 grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren.
Preceding her in death were her parents;
brothers, Harris, Wayne and Robert; sister,
Jessie, son, Lance; and her husband of 58 years,
E.J. Morton.
