Teri Jean Hart, age 64, of Hays, Kansas went to be with our Lord after passing away peacefully at home on September 15, 2023. 

She was a devoted wife, loving mother, loyal daughter, affectionate caregiver and faithful friend.

Teri was born to Otto R. Jr and Rachel J. (Woods) Rohla in Concordia, Kansas on June 21, 1959. Along with her parents, she and her older sister Jody Robertson and younger brother Otto ‘Ross’ Rohla III moved to Colby, KS in 1966 where she spent most of her youth. 

After graduating from Colby High School, Teri obtained her LPN license at Colby Community College in 1979 and it is there she first discovered her passion for nursing those in need with her exceptional caregiving abilities. She especially loved helping her elders. Teri had found her calling.

Fresh out of college Teri began her long and successful nursing profession at St. Anthony Hospital in Hays, Kansas 44 years ago, and a year later she fell in love with her husband Ronald James Hart. They happily married on June 8, 1984. Teri and Ron were blessed to become parents to Jesse Alexander Hart and Rayna Michelle Hart. Teri was a wonderful wife and mother. 

Throughout this period in her life she took nursing classes at Fort Hays State University to improve upon her skills.

Precisely ten years after starting her professional career, Teri completed the nursing program at Fort Hays State University, passed state boards and added BSN, RN to her credentials. Teri had reaffirmed her calling.

Throughout her cherished RN career Teri was recognized with numerous awards such as the Daisy Team Award and became a national Cherokee Inspired Comfort Award nominee. She belonged to the FHSU Honor Society’s Nu Zeta Chapter, Sigma Theta Tau International. Her years of devotion to nursing culminated with her being bestowed the Sister Mary J. Mollison, RN ‘Nurse of the Year Award’ at HaysMed in 2020.

Beyond those within her own home, Teri was blessed and loved by a large family whom also thought the world of her. Along with her many aunts, uncles and cousins she kept in touch with, Teri was adored by all her four parents, six siblings, 14 nieces and nephews plus 26 great-nieces and nephews as well as all their spouses. 

Teri was a friendly and sincere person and her extended family witnessed her kindness firsthand and she knew they loved her back. Teri influenced a lot of her young relatives to eventually seek their own various medical professions.

Teri will also be remembered as a great friend to many. Teri was an affectionate person and a natural for making friends. Many of her dearest friends were those in various medical fields, those she had given care for, and some of her closest friends have even known her since grade school. Whether at HaysMed, Daylight Donuts, church, ball games, at home, or shopping, Teri always brought her special gift of kindness.

Teri had an adventurous side including traveling the U.S.; whether by motorcycle, plane, train, automobile, snowmobile, yacht, canoe, 18-wheelers or ferry. She always enjoyed bringing others along to share her joy and make new friends.

Teri is survived by her husband, Ronald J. Hart; her children, Jesse A. Hart and Rayna M. Hart; her mother, Rachel J. Rohla; her mother-in-law, Phyllis F. Hart; as well as many siblings, family and friends.

Phyllis Mae (Wagner) Screen, 89, died on September 11, 2023 at Pinnacle Park Nursing home in Salina, Kansas. Phyllis was born on the family farm north of Culbertson, Nebraska on October 14, 1933 to Arthur and Wanda (Jerome) Wagner. 

She graduated from Culbertson High School in 1951 and attended McCook Community College.

Phyllis taught at a one-room schoolhouse in rural Kansas for two years. It was at a get together there that she met James Screen. They married on May 5, 1957. 

During their early married years, Phyllis left the workforce to support the needs of the farm and the family’s church, school, and 4-H activities. She later returned to the workforce as a certified nurse assistant at the Decatur County Hospital, where she retired.

Phyllis and Jim loved to travel, taking numerous bus trips, camping trips or later, vacations to visit children and grandchildren. One of her greatest joys was being grandma to 10 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. 

Another one of Phyllis’ passions was music. She enjoyed playing the organ and piano at church each Sunday as well as other special occasions. Phyllis passed that love of music to her children and grandchildren.

GOODLAND - After a great day of fishing at Swanson Reservoir, Trenton, NE, on Thursday, September 7, 2023, Michael “Mike” Lee Harrison, 68, docked his boat one last time.&nbsp;

A 46-year resident of Sherman County, Kansas, Mike was born in McCook, Nebraska on June 6, 1955.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Mike was the oldest child of Donald and Fredora (nee Wilson) Harrison of Stratton, Nebraska. Mike grew up on the family farm 11 miles north of Stratton, cultivating his lifelong love of farming, ranching and Native American history in the region. 

He attended grade school at the Eden Community School, then junior and senior high at Stratton High School, graduating with the class of 1973.&nbsp; He participated in all sports and the marching band, playing his baritone saxophone.&nbsp; Mike was looking forward to attending his 50-year class reunion later this month.&nbsp;

Mike met his future bride, Marla Kay Finegan, in Goodland, KS, in 1976, and the couple were married on January 8, 1977, at the Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Goodland.&nbsp; They established a farming and cattle operation in Sherman County.&nbsp; 

In September of 1979 their older son, Mark, joined the farm crew, followed in January of 1983 with the birth of&nbsp; Bradley, as the second farm hand.&nbsp;

Mike was a member of the Emmanuel Lutheran Church, recently serving on the church council.&nbsp; He also belonged to the Goodland Elks Lodge and several agricultural groups. He particularly enjoyed his years with the Sunflower Spinners, the antique tractor pulling club.&nbsp;

In addition to farming and ranching, Mike owned a semi-truck and trailer sales business in Goodland for approximately 10 years.&nbsp; He transitioned to farm equipment sales, finally returning to his passion of farming and ranching.&nbsp; He was able to retire and pursue his favorite hobby of fishing in the spring of 2023. &nbsp;

When not working or fishing, Mike read countless novels and studied pre-Columbian Native American History.&nbsp; He enjoyed hunting and attending farm and antique sales, particularly those having antique farm equipment and watching the Broncos and Nebraska Cornhuskers.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

He was preceded in death by his parents, Don and Fredora Harrison, his niece, Stacey Matson and his father-in-law Earl Finegan.

Mike is survived by his wife, Marla and son, Bradley, of the home, son Mark of Goodland, two grandchildren, his sisters Shari (Dennis) Youngs of McCook, NE, and Teresa (Mike) Brown of Stratton, Nebraska, and his brother, Don (Carey) Harrison also of Stratton, as well as several nieces and a nephew. He is also survived by his mother-in-law, Evelyn Finegan of Goodland and his sister-in-law Karen (Craig) Zimmerman of Parker, CO.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Memorial contributions may be designated to the Emmanuel Lutheran Church and may be left at the services or mailed to Koons-Russell Funeral Home, 211 N. Main Ave., Goodland, KS 67735.
