Karla Lynn (Paulson) Wessel, 71, of Selden, Kansas passed away at the Citizens Medical Center in Colby, Kansas, September 14, 2023. She was born to Leslie L. and Melvia D. (Mischler) Paulson in Colby, Kansas, on November 16, 1951. 

Karla graduated from Golden Plains High School with the class of 1969. After graduation, Karla attended and graduated from Colby Community College, earning her associate degree as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). When Karla started school at Colby Community College, her mother also attended and earned her LPN. They were the first mother-daughter pair to go through the program. 

Karla married Arthur “Art” Dean Wessel on July 16, 1969, in Selden, Kansas in the Sacred Heart Catholic Church. When they were first married, they lived on a farm outside of Selden. They eventually moved to their family farm on the Solomon River where they raised their three sons. Karla lived on the farm until her husband passed away. She moved to Selden, Kansas and lived with her sister in their childhood home.

Karla worked as an LPN for many years at the Sheridan County Hospital and in the Neuenschwander Clinic in Hoxie with Drs. John and John Rand Neuenschwander. She really enjoyed being an LPN. After Art became ill, she stopped working to take care of him. 

Karla had a big garden and canned the produce, so she could have good homegrown vegetables all winter. She made jelly and passed the art of jelly making down to her daughters-in-law and granddaughters. Karla loved spending time with her family and grandchildren. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy; she enjoyed watching them grow up. 

She was a member of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Selden, Kansas.

Karla is survived by her sons, Ben Wessel (Christa) of Bonner Springs, Kansas, Dan Wessel (Melissa) of Rexford, Kansas, and Chris Wessel (Robynn) of Selden, Kansas; brother, John Paulson; sister, Leslie Lavinia Paulson; grandchildren, Les Wessel, Emma Wessel, Kade Wessel, Koi Wessel (Beth), Kailee Wessel, Addy Wessel, and Eva Wessel; and great-grandson, Benjamin Wessel.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Arthur D. Wessel; and parents, Leslie and Melvia Paulson.

A Mass of Christian Burial is planned for Wednesday, September 20, 10:30 a.m., at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Selden, Kansas. Interment will follow the service in the Selden Cemetery. Visitation will be held on Tuesday, September 19, 2023, at the Pauls Funeral Chapel in Selden, Kansas from 1:30 p.m. until 5:15 p.m. and from 5:30 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Selden, Kansas with the Vigil and Rosary Service starting at 7:00 p.m. at the church.

Goodland, KS resident and former Canon City, CO resident Terrance Patrick Kunz, 69, passed away at his home in Goodland surrounded by his family on Wednesday, September 13, 2023.

Terry was born on February 5, 1954 in New Ulm, Minnesota to Willard and Alice (Eichten) Kunz.&nbsp; He was one of seven children.&nbsp; 

He grew up and attended school in Denver, and graduated from South High School in Denver with the class of 1972.

On March 23, 1973, Terry married Denyse Marie Simpleman in Denver.&nbsp; To this union, three children were born, Mellanie, Staci and TJ.

Terry was a big man with an even bigger heart, faith, and character. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend. He spent most of his career in different aspects of food service, while being involved in self- employment, fire chief of a volunteer fire department, rescued wild horses and burros, drove school bus for CCSD, and had the privilege of driving new recruits to MEPS in Denver.

Upon a series of events, Terry and Denyse had to relocate to Goodland, KS. The most difficult adjustment for Terry was not being able to listen to KRLN and participating in Riddle Me This and Webster's Journey. He truly missed his on-air friends Lobo, Tay, Caleb, and Ed.

Terry and his family are grateful for his beloved physicians Dr. Sindler, Dr. Reppert, and Dr. Pacheco and his incredible staff at Rocky Mtn. Cancer Center. Their devotion, skill, and compassion are nothing short of Divine intervention.

Preceding him in death were his parents, and three brothers, Mike, John and Jim Kunz. He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Denyse of Goodland, KS, his children Mellanie (Cleve) Trachsel of Goodland, KS, Staci (Jason) Hennick of Sharon Springs, KS and TJ (Jess) Kunz of Canon City, CO.&nbsp; He is also survived by four grandchildren,Tyler (Savanna) Rodosevich of Sharon Springs, KS, Layne Goodwin (Trenton Mitchek) of Eads, CO, Haylee Hennick of Sharon Springs, KS and Chayton Goodwin of Goodland, KS; two great-grandchildren Tyler and Banks; his brother and sisters Rick (Judy) Kunz, Mollye (Rex)Graber and Anna (Art) Ruble, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Memorial services will be held on September 30, at 10:00 a.m., at E-Free Church in Canon City, Colorado, officiated by Jim Thulson.

Memorial contributions may be designated to Northwest Kansas Hospice Services and may be sent to Koons-Russell Funeral Home, 211 N. Main Ave., Goodland, KS 67735.

Shirley Ann (Pfeifer) Schmidt, 84, Catharine, passed away peacefully on Sunday, September 17, 2023 at her home surrounded by her children. She was born December 25, 1938, on the family farm in Hyacinth to Aloysius A. and Katherine (Horning) Pfeifer. 

She attended Locust Grove for eight years, then St. Mary of the Plains in Dodge City as a boarding student, graduating in 1956.

She married Emery R. Schmidt on October 10, 1959, in Hays. They celebrated 61 years of marriage until his passing on January 15, 2021.

After high school, at the age of 17, she went to St. Anthony’s Hospital to get a job and was trained at the hospital as a certified nurse aide. Her jobs throughout her life consisted as an aid on the floor at the hospital, home health aide, compassionate caregiver in homes, later as a senior companion, mentor for future nurses and as a guest presenter for prospective nurses. After many years of service, she retired in her 70s.

Shirley was an avid fan of the Kansas City Royals and Chiefs. She also enjoyed all the game shows, especially Wheel of Fortune, and doing crossword puzzles. Her daily routine throughout life included saying several rosaries every morning, cooking for her family (which she loved), and her farmwife work of assisting Emery on the farm by running for parts on any given day during harvest and providing meals out on the field for all the guys. 

She and Emery spent many occasions getting together with the neighbors having after-harvest parties, card parties (pinochle), planning and putting on community festivities and supported school functions. 

She was a devoted wife, loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, caregiver, and friend. She was a lover of animals and leaves behind a dog, Jake, and a kitty. Shirley was a “giver,” always stood up for others and did not stand for bullying. She knew no stranger. 

In later years, she and her husband enjoyed going to the Golden Q on Sundays. She and her children and their families continued this tradition after his death. She enjoyed her burger and beer up until her death.

She was a member of St. Catherine Catholic Church, the St. Catherine Christian Mothers Altar Society and taught catechism.

Throughout his school years, Jayme enjoyed learning new things and being involved in sports. He competed in the Special Olympics basketball tournament in Hays, Kansas and continued to do so even after graduating. He was on several teams that brought home individual medals and trophies. 

Jayme loved life and especially attending Mass on Saturday or Sunday. He was a devoted Catholic Christian who loved God and put his trust in the Lord. Jayme was also a third degree member of the Knights of Columbus and belong to the Atwood Council #3033. He was very active in the council and could always be counted on to lend a helping hand with their fundraisers and projects.

Jayme loved spending time traveling with his family and friends. Some of his most talked about adventures included casino trips, camping and fishing with brothers, and attending any sporting activity. 

He was a big Atwood Buffalo fan never missing a home game. He loved the Broncos and was fortunate to see them play in Colorado with his Uncle Clem. 

He also loved when he was able to travel to see his aunts, uncles, and his cousins. Jayme loved his family very much and was loved deeply by all that knew him. He will be missed very much!

He was preceded in death by his father and grandparents.

Jayme is survived by his mother, Janice (Hutfles) Sattler; his five brothers, Randy, Ron (Cindy), Jerry, Dan (Karen), and Rob, and his sister Mary (Brian) Clark as well as numerous nieces, nephews, family and friends.
