Duane Vance, 93, of Beacon, passed away Tuesday, April 27, 2021, while out for a morning walk in his neighborhood.
Frank “Duane” Vance, son of Huel and Carmella (Muraro) Vance, was born September 15, 1927, at the home of his parents in rural Tracy, Iowa.
Duane’s family moved to Davenport when he was a child, and it was there that he attended school. The family later returned to Mahaska County and settled in Beacon.
Duane married Blanche Julia Laud on April 23, 1949, at the Little Brown Church in Nashua, Iowa. They made their home in Beacon, and Duane began working for the Lost Creek Coal Company. When the mine closed, he went to work for Kaiser Corporation. In 1972, Duane and Blanche moved to Oskaloosa. Duane retired from Kaiser in 1989. In 2018, they moved back to Beacon.

The phone call came on a sunny spring afternoon earlier this year. When Becky Swain answered, it was one of her husband’s fellow police officers. Bob was okay, but he had been in an accident, Becky was told, and he was currently at Scotty B’s, a local diner in Tenino, Washington, known for its down-home cooking and milkshakes.
Cost information greatly enhances the value of shared decision making
Cost information, when paired with information about clinical treatment options, greatly enhances the value of shared decision making, reported a FAIR Health brief released today.
This was among the lessons learned from a FAIR Health initiative presenting patient decision aids for shared decision making in palliative care scenarios, as described in the brief Cost Information Enhances Shared Decision Making: Lessons from FAIR Health s Shared Decision-Making Initiative.
Shared decision making means the discussion between patients/caregivers and healthcare providers regarding various treatment options, guided by evidence-based strategies and patient decision aids.
