Henrietta Owen
April 4, 1936 - January 15, 2021
Mrs. Owen passed away on January 15, 2021 at her home with her family by her side.
When I asked mother what she wanted shared at her Celebration Service, she said, “I survived and lived a good life.” Henrietta will be remembered for her spunky attitude, her smile, laughter and kindness, her willingness to help and support and as her son said, “she didn’t complain, she pushed through and kept going.”

Kiowa County residents are doing an amazing job recycling!
In the last year we recycled 68,000 pounds of cardboard. We have collected a huge amount of plastic and have started baling it to be recycled.
Any space we save in our landfill will increase the life of the landfill which will save Kiowa County considerable funds.
Please keep in mind that we can only recycle clean, dry cardboard. If it has oil or grease on it
