On November 14, Con R. Spainhour of Winfield, KS, went to be with his Father in Heaven at the age of 87 years.

Con was a proud graduate of THE University of Kansas, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in pharmacy. There he met the love of his life, Barbara, wife of 65 years. He began his career as a staff pharmacist in Topeka, KS; owned and operated his own pharmacies in Kingman and Cheney, KS; worked for a decade as the Director of Pharmacy at the Winfield State Hospital; and finally concluded his career at Winfield Pharmacy. At the end of his career, at the age of 85, Con was one of the oldest practicing pharmacists in the state of Kansas. In addition to his long and satisfying career as a pharmacist, Con was a member of The Missouri Synod Lutheran church in each community in which he and Barbara resided, and also served on the school boards in the communities where he and Barbara raised their children: Kingman, Cheney, and Greensburg.

Con will be lovingly remembered by children: Sara (Robert Jones); Julia (Rebecca Floyd); Elisabeth (Regis Walsh); Kathryn (Russell Neuenschwander); Martha (Scott Lehner); John (Jodi); Sam (Cari); and Suzanne (Brian Gentry); and sister, Suzan Stremel.
