Henthorne, Billee Hurlene Wells Steinbeck

We are born. We are here for awhile, and then we are gone. Billee was 
born in Ponca City, OK. Shortly after, her mother, Mimi Leona Mae 
Frazier Wells, father, Bill Hurley Wells, and sister, Jeoneta Wells 
Walters moved to Hutchinson, Kansas where Billee went through grade 
school and high school. She went to Stephens College in Columbia, 
Missouri before falling in love with Richard Steinbeck. With Dick, 
she bore three children, Shari McKinney, Sam-e S. Del Tour, and Scott 
Lee Steinbeck. From the three, Shari bore Rachelle Perez and Alycia 
Gamble with Otto McKinney. Scott L. Steinbeck sired Scott Anthony 
Steinbeck with Kathy Valadez Steinbeck. Grandchildren include Dustin, 
Karissa, Kayla, Vaughn, Tyler and Brooklyn. Billee worked as a 
secretary for Seldon Morley and Eldon Hugie. Later she worked for and 
retired from State Farm Insurance. She owned and operated The Gunne 
Sak, a women's dress shop with her children, Shari and Sam-e. In 1973 
Billee married David O. Henthorne. They spent 33 years together 
before Billee went to be with the Lord. Alycia would like to say: 
"Billee was the epitome of strength and elegance in a woman. She 
spent the majority of her effort trying to care for and brighten the 
lives of her children and grandchildren." Alycia A memorial service 
will be held Friday, November 10th, at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 
at 2:00 p.m., in the chapel, officiated by Fr. Michael Gilton. For
