HILL CITY — Hannah Lee Bebb also known as “HB," from Hill City, passed away Sept. 24, 2023, in Wichita. Hannah was born Jan. 28, 1981, in Kearney, Neb.

Doris Ann Hageman

Russell Adair Hearting was born in Hays, KS to Kenneth and Carol (Sunley) Hearting on January 29th, 1947. 

He graduated Trego Community High School in 1965. Russell attended K-State in Manhattan, KS. Before completing a degree, Russell enlisted in the Marines and was stationed in San Diego, CA. After three years with the Marines, he moved back to Kansas to be closer to family. 

On May 5, 1973 he married Jeanice Engel. They had three children, Holly, Amy, and Rusty. 

Throughout Russell’s professional career, he worked in the oil fields and contributed to the family vending machine business, always happy to belly up to the bar and small-talk with business owners and employees. He was handy and entrepreneurial, especially with electronics and tube televisions. 

A familiar face in the community, Russell was a loyal and comfortable native of WaKeeney, KS. He loved meeting friends for breakfast and bottomless coffee.&nbsp;

He served his country with honor in the Marines as a young man where he learned to fly airplanes and was a member of various organizations, including the American Legion, the VFW, and the Eagles.

In his leisure time, Russell found joy in the simple pleasures of life. One of his favorite things to do was to cut wood. He was often to be found on long drives on winding country roads. He was an avid hunter, a self-taught downhill snow skier, and a boater; he loved to fly airplanes and work on hobby aquariums. Road trips to Colorado for skiing and vacationing in the mountains were yearly highlights for the entire family.

Russell will be remembered as easygoing, generous, and laid-back, a man content with his life. He was a respected husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend. During this time of loss, we take solace in knowing that Russell is at peace.

Russell is survived by his wife Jeanice and three children Holly, Amy, and Rusty. Survivors also include Bevin Owens and grandson Conner Hearting. Siblings and in-laws include sister Barb Richter and husband Steve of Lynch Station, VA, brother Richard and wife Judy Hearting of WaKeeney, KS, and sister Margaret Wahlborg of Arkansas City, KS. 

Russell was predeceased by his parents, brother Duane Hearting, sister-in-law Susan Hearting and brother-in-law Elgin Wahlborg.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Good Samaritan Society of Hays, Prairie Home Church in WaKeeney, or the Methodist Church in WaKeeney and sent to Schmitt Funeral Home, 336 N 12th St., WaKeeney, KS 67672. 

Condolences may be left for the family by visiting&nbsp;<a href="https://www.schmittfuneral.com/">www.schmittfuneral.com</a>.

Russell Adair Hearting

My loving husband, our dad and grandad, was born to Elmer and Frances Penner Boehs in Isabella, Oklahoma on December 4, 1939. He left us for his eternal home on September 29, 2023, reaching the age of eighty three years. Dad often talked of living in a happy home and learning to work at an early age. 

When he was fifteen years old, he accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior and found a peace flooding his soul. His father, Minister Elmer Boehs baptized him into the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite on February 15, 1955. The faith and the church were precious to him all his life. 

Dad fell in love with our mother, Laverda Jantz and they were joined together in marriage on January 10,1960 at Fredonia, Kansas, by Minister Elmer Boehs. They adored each other through the joys and sorrows of life and were completely devoted for 63 years. 

On February 23,1968, Dad was ordained into the ministry by Minister Harry Wenger at Fairview, Oklahoma. He loved to preach the saving gospel. His compassion and love for the hurting and troubled souls of man inspired him to reach out to them. He desired that everyone would know the hope and freedom from fear that is found in Jesus Christ. Putting his heart into serving on different church boards became an important part of his life. Dad was especially enthused with tent meeting evangelism. 

In 1990, a new chapter in our parents’ lives began by moving to Lakin, Kansas. He raised alfalfa and developed the Quality Hay grinding business. He very much enjoyed western Kansas. The new Lakin congregation brought joy. Just a few weeks ago he gave his testimony in church of the love and thankfulness he felt for the Lakin brotherhood.

Dad valued people. Nothing was better than visiting with family and friends or meeting new ones. It didn’t take long and he was visiting about the serious, important issues of life. Faith in an almighty God and thankfulness were pillars that he held to. 

We as a family knew him as a loving, adoring husband, caring, generous father and a kind, optimistic grandad. He often expressed his love and we leaned on him for guidance and support. Our hearts ache with the separation but we long to be together at Home forever.

Survivors include his loving wife LaVerda , children Melodee and Corwin Smith, Mike and Kristy Boehs, both of Lakin, Kansas; Michele and Doyle Nightingale, Fulton, Kentucky; ten grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren, siblings Virginia and Alton Unruh, Greensburg, Kansas; Polly and Robert Schneider,&nbsp;Perrinton, Michigan; Elaine and James Nightingale, Scott City, Kansas; Kendall and Rosanna Boehs, Mountain Grove, Missouri; Maureen and Denton Koehn, Ulysses, Kansas; Mom’s family; Barbara Jantz, Moundridge, Kansas; Harold and June Jantz, Neodesha, Kansas; Roland Schmidt, Brooksville, Mississippi; Marilyn and Gaylord Schmidt, Galva, Kansas.

Preceding him in death were his parents, parents-in-law, one sister, one brother, four sisters-in-law, and two brothers-in-law.

Funeral service will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, October 3, 2023, at the Lakin Mennonite Church. Burial will follow at the Lakin Cemetery. Friends may call from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Monday at Garnand Funeral Home in Lakin, Kansas. 

The family suggests memorials given to Gospel Tract Bible Society in care of the funeral home. 

Condolences may be given at garnandfuneralhomes.com.

Dellors Elaine Catterfeld

Richard "Dick" Romig Sheets, 99, of Leoti, Kansas, went to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ on September 28, 2023. He was born on March 11, 1924, in Topeka, Kansas to Edvin and Hazel Sheets.

Dick was a loving husband to his late wife, Rosamary, who passed away March 8, 2020. She truly was the love of his life as evidenced by the suitcase of love letters they each wrote to each other before they married and have saved throughout the years. &nbsp;

Dick was a devoted father to his children and is survived by; son, Scott Sheets and his wife Vicki of Brewster, Kansas, daughter, Becky Miller and her husband Richard of Leoti, Kansas, daughter, Peggy Wolken and her husband Dan of Gravette, Arkansas, and son, Ted Sheets and his wife Brenda from Poteau, Oklahoma. He took great joy in his role as a grandfather to Sondra (Jeff) Brown of Riverton, Wyoming, Beau (Tara) Sheets of Riverton, Wyoming, and Tad Sheets of Woodward, Oklahoma, Drew (Rachel) Miller of Lakin, Kansas and Lindsey Miller of Dallas, Texas, Jessica Wolken of Gravette, Arkansas and Spenser (Maura) Wolken of Knoxville, Tennessee, Colton (Holly) Sheets of Houston, Texas, and Lucas Sheets of Austin, Texas. Dick had 13 great-grandchildren, Jaylee, Macee and Blaine Brown of Riverton, Wyoming; Kamdyn, Ty, Clay, Kynnedy and Karsyn Sheets of Riverton, Wyoming; Emma, Kate, Luke and James Miller of Lakin, KS; and Frances Ann Sheets of Houston, Texas.

Dick is also survived by his sisters, Dorothy Ann Streeter of Santa Fe, New Mexico, Virginia Lee Fryer of Santa Fe, New Mexico, and his brother, Scott Sheets of Los Molinos, California.

Dick had a strong faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and dedicated his life to sharing his love for Christ with others. He lived his life as an example of that love, always pointing people towards Christ. &nbsp;He was an original member of Christ Covenant EPC Church in Leoti. &nbsp;He and Rosamary served in the church for many years.

Dick enlisted in the Army Air Corps right after his high school graduation and was trained and served as a pilot and flight instructor in the Army Air Corp during World War II. He was known for his skill in aerobatics and his passion for flying which he continued after his service to his country.&nbsp;

Dick loved to golf and he and his wife, Rosamary, were regulars on the golf course in Leoti. &nbsp;They enjoyed many hours together and with friends on the course. &nbsp;He and his beloved Rosamary also cherished the time they would spend at their son Scott’s ranch near Brewster, Kansas. &nbsp;They were quite handy and took enormous pride in checking and fixing the miles and miles of fence.&nbsp;

Another one of Dick's favorite pastimes was spending time in the Sangre de Cristo mountains above Westcliffe, Colorado. He always found solace and peace in the great outdoors, surrounded by nature's beauty. He also loved to sit for hours on the prairie of western Kansas calling in coyotes.&nbsp;

A funeral service will be held on Tuesday, October 3, at 2:00 p.m. at Christ Covenant Church in Leoti, Kansas. The Price &amp; Sons Funeral Home in Leoti is assisting the family with the arrangements.

The family is immensely grateful and deeply appreciative of the exceptional attention and support provided to dick by the exceptional staff of Wichita County Long term care, as well as the previous care he received at Lakin Assisted Living.

In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to Christ Covenant Church in Leoti, Kansas or Wichita County long Term Care &nbsp;c/o Price &amp; Sons Funeral Home, 202 N. 4th &nbsp;Street, Leoti, KS 67861, in memory of Dick Sheets.

David Dennis Dreiling was born on June 9, 1949, in Berthoud, Colorado, to Michael and Pauline (Hepp) Dreiling. &nbsp;After battling illness, he passed away peacefully at his home in Phillipsburg, Kansas on September 22, 2023. &nbsp;

Dave attended school in Brighton, Colorado where he earned his high school diploma in 1967. &nbsp;

On April 18, 1969, Dave was united in marriage to Debra Ann Greenrod and the couple celebrated 50 years of marriage together. &nbsp;To this union, two daughters were born, Tracie Ann and Amy Beth. &nbsp;

Dave worked as a truck driver, farmer, and realtor in Colorado before moving to Smith Center, Kansas to begin a new career as a motel owner. &nbsp;He and Debra purchased the Modern Aire Motel in 1984. &nbsp;In 1992, they increased their ownership when they bought and rebuilt The Cottonwood Inn in Phillipsburg, Kansas. &nbsp;Dave always enjoyed visiting with the guests and listening to their travel stories. &nbsp;Dave retired from the motel business in 2018 when the motel was sold.

For as long as anyone can remember, Dave loved hunting and fishing. &nbsp;On his days off of work, he could often be found in a goose pit, walking a field looking for pheasants, or sitting in a boat with a fishing pole in his hand. &nbsp;Dave was the best bird scout around. &nbsp;He spent many hours and miles driving around the countryside looking for birds, to share a scouting report. &nbsp;He enjoyed parking near the hunting spots and using his “Nebraska Fish Finders” to keep an eye on the hunters. &nbsp; A favorite summer pastime was towing the grandkids behind the boat. &nbsp;He took great pleasure in hearing their laughs and screams as they tried their best to hold onto the tube as it was whipping across the wake. &nbsp;

Another joy of Dave’s was watching his grandchildren in all of their varied activities. &nbsp;He could always be found at a music concert, ball games of various sports, school or community play, or watching a parade for that single float. &nbsp;If any one of them were involved, he was there as a proud fan and grandpa!

Dave was a good-hearted man who worked hard, enjoyed life, and cherished his family and friends. &nbsp;He will be greatly missed by all who knew him, but his memory will love on in our hearts and minds. &nbsp;

Dave is preceded in death by his wife Debra Ann Dreiling, parents Michael and Pauline Dreiling, and brothers Jerry and James Dreiling.

Survivors include his daughters Tracie Ford and husband Kelly of Phillipsburg, Kansas, and Amy Dreiling and significant other Adam Huenergarde of Plainville, Kansas, sisters Sandi Medina, Mary Kay (Larry) Eversman, brother Michael Dreiling, &nbsp;five grandchildren: Mickalee McCartney, Abagail McCartney, Jordan Ford, Joel Ford, and Jeremy Ford, and numerous nieces and nephews. &nbsp;

Cremation was chosen. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, September 30, 2023, at 11:00 a.m. in the First Christian Church, Phillipsburg, with Pastor LeRoy Herder officiating.

Memorial contributions may be made to Hospice Services Inc. or the First Christian Church.
