Daphne Wallen,
Resident of the Month
Daphne was born on August 21, 1927
in Polk Co., Mo. She was the only child
of her parents, Orby and Edna Jenkins.
When Daphne was eight years old,
she and her family moved to Cedar Co.,
where she attended Hartley Grade School.
In 1945, Daphne graduated from Fair
Play High School.
After graduation, Daphne worked at
Union National Bank in Springfield. At
that time, it was the largest bank in the
Springfield area. She worked there until
1947, when she married Frank Wallen.
Daphne had known Frank since she was
a child, but it wasn’t until he returned
from serving in the U.S. Army during
WWII that they began dating.
After the couple married, Daphne and
Frank moved to California. It wasn’t long
before the couple returned to Missouri.
Upon their return, Frank and Daphne
lived on a farm in Cedar County where
they raised Black Angus cattle and turkeys.
Frank ran the farm while also working
for the Fair Play Post Office. Daphne
worked at a bank in Fair Play. After several years, she took a job with Commerce
Bank, where she remained for more than
20 years. In 1984, Daphne was able to
retire.
After their retirement, Daphne and
Frank enjoyed traveling, visiting numerous
states, including Alaska.

Daphne and Frank have been
blessed with two daughters: Velma
and Wilma. Velma currently lives
in Springfield with her husband,
George Ashley, and Wilma lives in
Fair Play with her husband, Charles
Branstetter. Daphne is a member of
Oak Grove Baptist Church.
Last year, Daphne joined the
family at Butterfield Residential
Care Center and blesses everyone
with her friendship.
Congratulations Daphne for
being chosen as Butterfield
Residential Care Center’s Resident
of the Month for August! Thank
you for sharing your story and
your smile with us.
