Wanda Miller, a woman of unwavering faith and a dedicated educator, passed away on August 17, 2023, in Hays, Kansas. She was born on June 17, 1930, in Lincoln, Kansas, to Oscar Meier and Forona Kasiska. Wanda's life was a testament to her strong spirit, love for her community, and passion for learning.

A devout Catholic, Wanda found solace and strength in her faith throughout her life. She was a cherished member of St. Joseph's Parish in Hays, where her commitment to her beliefs shone brightly. Her spirituality guided her actions and interactions, leaving a positive impact on those fortunate enough to know her.

Wanda's dedication to the field of education was evident through her tireless service as a special education teacher for over 25 years, all within USD 489. Her genuine care for her students extended beyond the classroom, as she strived to create a nurturing and inclusive environment that allowed each individual to flourish. Her kindness, patience, and unwavering support left an indelible mark on countless lives.

Beyond her professional life, Wanda cultivated a rich tapestry of interests that showcased her vibrant personality. She possessed a keen talent for crocheting and knitting, crafting intricate pieces that brought joy to family and friends. Wanda's love for games led her to embrace activities such as bingo, where her enthusiasm was infectious and her laughter rang out warmly.

Wanda's thirst for knowledge knew no bounds; she was an avid reader and a lifelong learner. Her curiosity about the world extended to current events, including politics, demonstrating her engagement and desire to remain informed. This intellectual curiosity was matched only by her adventurous spirit, as she and her husband embarked on road trips across Kansas, exploring the scenic beauty of their beloved state.

One of Wanda's cherished pastimes was indulging in the thrill of casinos, where she and her husband found joy in gambling and playing bingo. Their shared moments of excitement and camaraderie reflected the enduring bond they shared throughout their journey together.

Wanda Miller's legacy is one of faith, compassion, and a vibrant zest for life. She will be remembered by her loving family, friends, and the many lives she touched throughout her years of service and dedication. As we bid farewell to a remarkable woman, let us celebrate the enduring impact she had on the world around her and honor the light she brought into our lives.

Survivors include her children: Dan, Charles, Stacie, Christine, Stephanie, and Laurie; her siblings: Gerald, Larry, Harold, and Evelyn, together with nine grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. 

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband: Wayne Francis Miller; son: Brian ‘Butch’; daughter: Mary; brothers: Marvin, Donald, Delbert, Steve, and Lyle; and a grandson: Jeremy Wasko.

A funeral service to celebrate Wanda's life will be held on Saturday, August 26, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. with memorial visitation from 9:00 a.m. until service time at St Joseph’s Catholic Church, Hays. Inurnment will follow the services in the parish cemetery.

&nbsp; Christina T. Werth, a beloved member of the Schoenchen, Kansas community, passed away at the Hays Medical Center on August 4, 2023, at the age of 82. She was born on December 29, 1940, in Horbach, Germany, to Alois and Anna (Geist) Franz. Christina's journey in life was one filled with love, family, and a rich tapestry of interests and activities. On May 25, 1962, Christina married the love of her life, Leroy P. Werth, in Germany. Their union was one of enduring companionship, marked by a deep and abiding affection. Leroy's passing on December 13, 2020, left a void in her heart. Christina's life was graced with many passions. She cherished her time spent with dear lady friends, sharing stories over cups of coffee. Her nimble fingers were skilled in knitting and sewing, creating beautiful pieces. She had an indomitable spirit when it came to card games, and her competitive edge shone through in games of pitch, pinochle, and bridge – her favorites.

Beyond these hobbies, she found purpose in her involvement with St. Anthony Catholic Church in Schoenchen, Kansas. Christina actively participated in the Altar Society, Religious Education, and served on the dinner committee. She also lent her guidance as a 4-H leader, shaping the lives of young members of her community. Proud of her German heritage, Christina effortlessly expressed herself in her native tongue. Her elegance and grace extended beyond appearance, encompassing her actions and interactions. She had an endearing quirk in her driving abilities, which often sparked light-hearted conversations within the family. Christina leaves behind cherished memories that will be held close by her loved ones. She is survived by her sons, LeRoy Werth Jr. and wife Joann of Hays, and Eric Werth and Sayre Shuck of Schoenchen; her daughters, Sonya Peters and Ken Nolan of Lincoln, and Michaela Werth of Phoenix; a sister Rosie in Germany; ten grandchildren, Ericka, Ashley, Peyton, Gavin, Michael, Seth, Spencer, Sierra, Jessica, and Nathaniel, as well as nineteen great-grandchildren. She joins her parents, her husband, a granddaughter Erin Elizabeth Werth, and a brother Walter in eternal peace. The funeral mass will be held at 10:00 a.m. on August 26, 2023, at St. Anthony Catholic Church in Schoenchen, Kansas, with Fr. Curtis Carlson presiding over the celebration of Christina's life. Following the services, Christina's inurnment will take place in the church cemetery. Friends and family are invited to pay their respects during the memorial visitation on August 25, 2023, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Brock’s-Keithley Funeral Chapel and Crematory, located at 2509 Vine, Hays, KS 67601. A combined parish vigil and rosary service will take place at 7:00 p.m. on Friday at the chapel. In memory of Christina, memorial contributions are suggested to be made to St. Anthony Church or St. Anthony Cemetery.

September 8, 1933 ~ August 16, 2023 (age 89)

Norinne Sylvia Petersen, 89, of Hays, Kansas, entered into eternal rest on Wednesday, August 16, 2023, at Hays Good Samaritan Society.

She was born September 8, 1933, in Lake County, South Dakota, to Fred and Esther (Strom) Sales. Her family moved to Wentworth, South Dakota, before settling in Sibley, Iowa to raise their children.

In her youth, Norinne occupied her time doing cheerleading and spending time with her friends and family. She was honored to be crowned homecoming queen in high school. She graduated from Sibley High School in 1951 and went to work for the Merrick Printing Company in Sibley.

Norinne married Donald L. Petersen on July 5, 1953, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Sibley, Iowa. They were blessed to spend over 57 years by each other’s side. Many of these years together were in Hoxie, Kansas. 

Norinne enjoyed being a wife and a mother and also found time to be a Den mother, PTA officer, LWML member and officer and Sunday school teacher in addition to helping out neighbors. After her children were in school, she was employed by the U.S. government working first for Selective Service and then for the Social Security Administration, a career she found rewarding for over 30 years.

In retirement, she and her husband moved to Hays, where she continued serving as a Sunday school teacher, LWML member and many other roles in her membership at Messiah Lutheran Church. She also found time to continue her hobbies of doll collecting, crafting and spending time with family. She found joy in sharing many of her talents with her grandchildren who have fond memories of taking trips, visiting historical sites, playing dress-up, writing plays, and having tea parties.

Survivors include a son, Donald Petersen, of Bedford, Texas, a daughter, JaNell Lopez and her husband, Greg, of Overland Park, Kansas, eight grandchildren, Craig Petersen, Brad Petersen, Christy (Patrick) Catuncan, Lindsay Torres, Danielle (DJ) Hall, Ashley (Tom) Anguiano, Allie Lopez and Gracie Lopez, 14 great-grandchildren, sister-in-law, Velma Kindred of Boise, Idaho, several nieces and nephews, and many dear friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Donald, brothers John (Joyce) Sales and Fred (Marilyn) Sales, daughter-in-law Mary Petersen, and one great-grandson.

Funeral services will be at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, August 21, 2023 at Messiah Lutheran Church. Visitation will be from 10:00 a.m. until service time on Monday at the church. Burial will be in St. Peter Cemetery in Madison, South Dakota.

Doris Sloan passed away peacefully at the Good Samaritan Center on August 16, 2023. The Lord called her home on a bright morning, a perfect way to conclude her life of over a century. Doris was born on May 8th, 1920, in southwest Decatur County to Ira and Dolly (Brainard) Wasson. 

She was the oldest of five children and grew up attending county school. In 1938 Doris graduated from Selden High School and moved on to teaching at a number of different county schools in NWKS. Over the years she always recognized and pointed out former students, telling us stories of her teaching days. 

Doris began to date Clealand Sloan and soon after traveled to California to marry him on July 6th, 1942. The product of this marriage was three beautiful children (Judy, Tom, and Cindi) and a life full of love. 

While Clealand was in Europe serving the United States during WW II Doris moved back to her hometown. Not long after her return home Judy was born. After the war Clealand returned and the family moved to Selden. They then decided to move their family to Norton County. 

Shortly after the move Doris’ husband joined the National Guard and it was back to military life for her. During this time, she worked at JM McDonalds until 1963 when Clealand was transferred to Oklahoma City. The city life was quite a change for the family. After four years they were transferred again to Heidelberg, Germany in 1967. In ’72 Doris moved back to Oberlin while Clealand served in Vietnam. A short year later they picked up and moved again, this time to Manhattan, KS. 

Doris retired in Manhattan after working as a saleswoman in a retail clothing store. In 1984 the couple decided to spend some time traveling and spent their winter in south Texas. This lasted for four years or so until Clealand passed away.

 After her husband’s death Doris moved yet again, back to Oberlin.

 She became very active in her church and community, and even started a widows’ group that continued for years. Doris invested in The Dresser, an upcoming retail store that is still serving the people of Oberlin today. She loved to volunteer and especially enjoyed unpacking the articles of clothing the store would receive. Traveling was a great passion of Doris’ and 2000 she was able to have another big trip with all her friends to celebrate her 80th birthday on a bus tour of Europe. 

She had a wonderful sense of humor with a touch of temperament and shake of sarcasm. She was always able to joke around while still demanding respect from those around her. Doris found family time to be very important and loved spending time with all her children and extended family. In any get together you could always find her in the kitchen, cooking up a storm and tending to everyone’s needs. 

Doris spent her later years at the Good Samaritan Center in Oberlin where she enjoyed her time keeping everyone on the straight and narrow. 

Doris Sloan was preceded in death by her husband Clealand Sloan, daughter Cindi Sauder, son-in-law Dennis Shirley, brothers Donald Wasson and Keith Wasson, sisters Daisy Schmidt and MaryLou Wasson, parents Dolly and Ira Wasson, and many other family members and friends. 

Doris is survived by her daughter Judy Shirley, son Tom Sloan and his wife Leanna, seven grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren and several nieces and nephews. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, August 19, 2023, at the Oberlin United Methodist Church at 11:00 AM. Burial will be in Selden Cemetery at 2 p.m. 

Memorial contribution may be made out to Oberlin United Methodist Church.&nbsp; Condolence can be left at www.paulsfh.com.
