SCOTT CITY - Thelma G. Miller, age 91, peacefully passed away on June 12, 2023, at the Park Lane Nursing Home in Scott City, Kansas. She was born on August 27, 1931, in Ransom, Kansas the daughter of William Roy and Nellie Adkinson Barnett.&nbsp; 

A resident of Scott City, Kansas since 1937 moving from Ransom, Kansas, she was the retired owner of Miller’s Grain in Scott City, Kansas.

On August 28, 1949, she married Delmer Miller in Scott City Kansas, the day after she turned 18. Thelma liked to tell the story that she could legally be married but Delmer had to have his parents sign a consent because the legal age for a woman to marry was 18 but for a man, it was 21. He passed away on May 28, 1993, in Scott City, Kansas.

She was a member of the First United Methodist Church, United Methodist Women, High Plains Study Club, Funds for Fun, Tuesday Bridge Club, and was Past President of Kansas West Conference United Methodist Women.&nbsp;

Thelma enjoyed many other activities. She was a master at making meals for Delmer’s harvest crews during wheat harvest, commander of the dishwasher at the Methodist Church, and an earache specialist. When Delmer semi-retired and bought a boat for fishing, the children and grandchildren decided they would rather water ski so Delmer bought another boat for him to fish and taught Thelma to drive the other to take her family and friends water skiing. Many great days were spent at Trenton, Nebraska (Swanson Reservoir) at their trailer with family and friends.&nbsp; 

In her 40s, Thelma chaperoned many church youth groups on snow skiing trips. She informed Delmer if she was going with them, she might as well ski. This led to numerous years of her and Delmer enjoying the slopes. Thelma last snow skied when she was 75 years old with great-grandsons Austin and Nick.

Survivors include her son Craig Miller of Scott City, Kansas, daughters Cozette and Van Buckner of Scott City, Kansas, Cynthia Lee Miller and Huxley Nixon, Jr. of Kansas City, Missouri, sister Lela Bishop of Leoti, Kansas, granddaughters Jennifer Turpin, Stephanie (Turpin) Brown, Andrea (Miller) Tucker, Ashlee (Miller) Moses and Cameron Turpin,&nbsp; great-grandchildren&nbsp; Austin Rios, Nick Brown, Hannah Tucker, Jake Moses and Bo Moses and great-great-grandchild&nbsp; Lumi Rios.

She was preceded in death by her husband, parents, and two brothers, Neal Barnett and Wade Barnett.

Funeral services will be held at 2:00 p.m. Tuesday, June 20, 2023, at the United Methodist Church in Scott City, Kansas, with the Rev. Jeff Goetzinger and Rev. Dennis Carter presiding.

In lieu of flowers, memorials can be written to United Methodist Women or the Park Lane Nursing Home in care of Price &amp; Sons Funeral Home, P.O. Box 553, Scott City, Kansas, 67871.

Visitation will be from 2:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. Sunday and 10:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. Monday at Price &amp; Sons Funeral Home, 401 S. Washington Street, Scott City, Kansas.

Denise Miller, a beloved teacher, devoted wife, and caring mother, passed away on June 9, 2023, at the age of 56. She was born on June 21, 1966, to Leon and Nancy Heineken in the city of Atchison, Kansas.

Denise's most cherished role was that of a wife and mother. She married the love of her life, Timothy Miller, and together they built a beautiful family. Their union was blessed with four children: Elly, Logan, Jacob, and Courtney. Tragically, Denise was preceded in death by her father Leon, and her children Jacob and Courtney. The loss of her children was a profound sorrow that she carried with immense strength and grace.

Denise's passion for education led her to become a teacher at Thunder Ridge High School, where she dedicated ten years of her life to shaping the minds of countless students. Her commitment to her students and her love for teaching left a lasting impression on the school and those fortunate enough to have been a part of her classroom.

Denise's love for Kensington was evident in her tireless efforts to beautify the city. As a leader in a city beautification project, she took great pride in making Kensington a more vibrant and welcoming place for all. Her dedication and hard work will continue to be appreciated and admired for years to come.

Denise's memory will forever be cherished by her loving husband Tim Miller, daughter Elly McElroy and her husband Billy, and son Logan Miller who will carry forward her legacy of love, kindness, and perseverance. She also leaves behind her mother Nancy Heineken, her brothers Kyle Heineken and his wife Jenny, Brad Heineken and his wife Tonya, and her sister Dana Heineken.

In addition to her immediate family, Denise will be dearly missed by her nieces, nephews, and the countless lives she touched with her warm and caring nature. She held a special place in the hearts of those who knew her and made a lasting impact on her community.

Denise’s life was one filled with love, compassion, and a commitment to making a difference. Her memory will live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her. She will be remembered as an extraordinary teacher, a devoted wife and mother, and a true inspiration to all who had the privilege of crossing her path.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to the Kensington Home Charitable Foundation, as it was a cause close to Denise's heart.

May her soul rest in peace, and may her legacy continue to inspire us all.

&nbsp; Peter W. Dahl, 62, of Belleville, passed away June 11.

Peter Winston Dahl was born on November 1, 1960, in Hallock, Minnesota and died on June 11, 2023, in his hometown of Belleville, Kansas. 

He was the 4th child of Byron and Betsey Dahl. His three siblings remember standing on the sidewalk outside their mother’s hospital room window as she held newborn Peter in her arms for them to see him for the first time.

Peter’s early life was filled with fun on the farm outside of Kennedy, Minnesota. 

He attended school in Kennedy and graduated in 1978. He then obtained an AS degree from UMC in Crookston, MN.

Peter then turned to farming and helped his father Byron with planting and harvesting of wheat and sugar beets. He ultimately took over the farming when Byron retired.

Peter’s life took a good turn when he moved to Belleville, Kansas about 20 years ago. He worked at a dairy farm for awhile and then on a paving road crew.

He developed his business&nbsp;Peter Dahl Creations,&nbsp;which was an antique furniture refinishing business. He had learned this trade from his father Byron and loved making old furniture beautiful again.

Peter’s health problems started in 2015 when he fell off a ladder and broke several back and rib bones. The last three years were especially difficult and he had six major surgeries. Peter displayed strength of spirit during these last years and surprised his physicians by his fortitude and sense of humor. His physical heart was weak, but his loving heart was strong.

Peter is survived by his two sisters, Cynthia Maloney (Dan Maloney) and Nancy Dahl (Michael Hannon) and sister-in-law Vickie Dahl. He has many loved nieces and nephews and grandnieces and nephews. He has many first and second cousins. And he leaves many friends he made in Belleville who have been so helpful to him these last years. His ornery cat Tess has found a good new home.

He was pre-deceased by his brother Conrad McCulloch Dahl and his parents Betsey and Byron Dahl.

Services will be arranged at a later time. Please remember Peter in your thoughts and prayers.

Tibbetts-Fischer Funeral Home is assisting the Dahl family with arrangements.

<a href="https://www.garnandfuneralhomes.com/memorials/Herndon-Patrycia/5208529/">https://www.garnandfuneralhomes.com/memorials/Herndon-Patrycia/5208529/</a>

Patrycia Ann (London) Herndon, 84, died Tuesday June 6, 2023 at Wesley Medical Center in Wichita, Kansas. She was born on June 1, 1939 in Bailey, Texas, the daughter of Rodney Baxter and Sedera (Morgan) London. Patrycia's attended primary school in Bailey and went on to attend Foster Junior High, and Longview High School. Patrycia artistic skill began at an early age, she often made paper dolls with her grandmother and regularly made outfits for her little rat terrier dog. Even at a young age she had a passion for nature and especially horses. She could occasionally be convinced to tell the story of being so bored at a basketball game she snuck out with a cup of water and drew horses in the dirt on the side of the school bus. When it was discovered, she was missing it was pretty clear where she was and what she was doing. While Patrycia was still in High School, Patrycia was commissioned to paint a mural for the baptistry in the Marbley Avenue Baptist Church in Longview, Texas. Her reputation grew and she continued to hone her skills and went on to attend Texas Women’s University, majoring in Costume Design, Fashion Illustration and Art Education. While attending TWU, she met her future husband Walter Owen Herndon. Walter Owen was attending LeTourneau Tech, and was running for Student Council President and she was set up on a blind-date to ride with him in the parade. As the story goes, he was so impressed with her, he asked her out the very next year. The relationship soon after became official and they were married following Patrycia’s junior year. It was then they first moved back to Kansas, for a few months they lived in the rent house behind the Winegar Home. Patrycia and Walter Owen did return to Denton where Patrycia finished her degree at TWU and Walter Owen worked as a disc sharpener for farmers in the area. After graduation the couple moved to Kansas permanently, and took up residence in Amy, Kansas. It was in Amy, Patrycia was finally able to have her horses. She favored Arabians, she had several: Tumbleweed, Adarae, Valada, Muskada, Ingaborg, Kioola and El Kazara. Patrycia was a member of the local saddle club. Moving onto the Great Plains was not without its challenges, but Patrycia took inspiration from the majestic thunderheads, the gently rolling plains, from all forms of nature and from the heritage and history that existed throughout the region. As a little girl she had read about the famous “fish within a fish” at the Sternberg Museum, and was awestruck that it was unearthed only a few miles away in Gove County. Patrycia continued her education, receiving a teaching certificate at Fort Hays State University and did her student teaching in Great Bend, Kansas. Patrycia occasionally taught as a substitute teacher, covering for a maternity leave on one occasion. Patrycia soon began offering private art lessons and it was there she found her forte. She was blessed to have become friends with the Heffner Family in Gove County and drew considerable inspiration from the Heffner’s “Wagon’s Ho” destination adventure. Her reputation grew across the region and it wasn’t long before she was being commissioned to paint rustic farm scenes to grace the mantles of many area farms and ranches. In a few years Walter and Patrycia started a family. They had a son, Joel Steven in 1967 and daughter Kendra Alana in 1971. A year later the family moved to the farmstead at 167 N. Cheyenne. During these years she became a founding member of the Lane County Historical Society and of the Lane County Art’s Council. The children’s education began in the small rural Amy School, but in a few years the county consolidated and the children went to Dighton Grade School. Having to make two trips to town every day, Patrycia elected to stay in town and paint until time to pick up the kids. It was then she managed to acquire Fred Hymes Real Estate office and turned it in to her “Bonnet String Studio.” It was here her talent really took off, becoming a founding member of the Women Artist of the American West (serving two terms as president) and of various watercolor societies. In a few years she had outgrown the little studio and was blessed to be offered the old First National Bank building at the corner of Lane and Long Streets. She fell in love with the building the first time she saw it. Using her own capitol, she managed to acquire the building in 1981. There was a year or two of transition but as soon as it was feasible, she moved her studio and gallery into the historic building. Almost immediately she began working on restoring the building to its historic magnificence. She managed to acquire a local teller’s cage and over the next few years restored the tin ceiling, light fixtures and other furnishings. She built stained-glass transoms for every window on both floors of the building. She even managed to return the original safe, from its current home in the Bonnet String Studio back to its former home in the First National Bank Building. She was honored to be allowed to participate in the 100th anniversary of the First National Bank celebration. All the while she continued to teach students and many local students were blessed to be encouraged by Patrycia’s tutelage. Some have gone on to secure degrees in art and several work professionally. Every success her former students achieved was of great pride to her and served to further inspire her own work. Patrycia’s teaching and fine art received another boost when Walter Owen and Patrycia moved into town, purchasing the Kalo and Geneva Hineman home at 145 South Second. The sun porch on the north side became another source of inspiration for her creativity. During this time Patrycia won several prestigious awards in the “Art is Ageless” competition and was the featured artist at Botanica four different times. Patrycia was blessed to have received two separate grants from the Heritage Trust Fund which allowed her to achieve her goal of finishing the work on the Old Bank Gallery and in time acquired the rest of the wrap-around building, which became the workspace for so many projects. One of Patrycia’s crowning achievements was to become a founding member of the “Painted Ladies.” Named for a species of butterfly, this was a group of like-minded women artists from the region who would get together once a month and spend the day emersed in their various art projects. They often would exhibit together at the 2nd Avenue Art Guild and at the Manor of the Plains in Dodge City, Kansas. Patrycia’s husband Walter Owen passed in 2010, but it didn’t slow her down any. She took over bookkeeping for the farm and even drove a truck during milo harvest. She was constantly reinventing herself. When the pandemic came it was difficult for Patrycia to postpone her lessons, but it was of great joy she was able to start them up again when the crisis passed. Students Evie, Olive, Harper and Evey brought immense joy to Patrycia. She worked with other students and colleagues, during this time: Shelly Selfridge, Jenny Linden-Tracz and Julia Pate to name three. All loved Patrycia with all their hearts. Patrycia continued to teach until the end of the semester, shortly before her passing. Patrycia’s final scheduled show will be the first week of August at the 2nd Avenue Art Guild in Dodge City, Kansas. Patrycia’s radiance touched everyone she knew. Thousands were influenced and affected by her grace. We should all be so lucky. Survivors include her son Joel S. Herndon of Dighton, Kansas; daughter Kendra Alana Herndon and husband Nic of Greenville, North Carolina; brother Joe London of Henrico, Virginia; sister Jane Mullins of Dallas, Texas; and sister-in-law Corinne Herndon of Dighton, Kansas. A Memorial Service will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Friday June 16, 2023 at the United Methodist Church of Dighton with Reverend A. G. Turner officiating.

The family suggests memorial contributions to be given to the Patrycia Ann Herndon Memorial Fund in care of Boomower Funeral Home. Fifty percent of the fund will go to the ongoing restoration of the building, thirty percent toward a scholarship for a future student pursuing art, and 2wenty percent toward art supplies for future students at the Old Bank Gallery.

It was then she managed to acquire Fred Hymes Real Estate office and turned it in to her “Bonnet String Studio.” It was here her talent really took off, becoming a founding member of the Women Artist of the American West (serving two terms as president) and of various watercolor societies. In a few years she had outgrown the little studio and was blessed to be offered the old First National Bank building at the corner of Lane and Long Streets. She fell in love with the building the first time she saw it. Using her own capitol, she managed to acquire the building in 1981. There was a year or two of transition but as soon as it was feasible, she moved her studio and gallery into the historic building. Almost immediately she began working on restoring the building to its historic magnificence. She managed to acquire a local teller’s cage and over the next few years restored the tin ceiling, light fixtures and other furnishings. She built stained-glass transoms for every window on both floors of the building. She even managed to return the original safe, from its current home in the Bonnet String Studio back to its former home in the First National Bank Building. She was honored to be allowed to participate in the 100th anniversary of the First National Bank celebration. All the while she continued to teach students and many local students were blessed to be encouraged by Patrycia’s tutelage. Some have gone on to secure degrees in art and several work professionally. Every success her former students achieved was of great pride to her and served to further inspire her own work. Patrycia’s teaching and fine art received another boost when Walter Owen and Patrycia moved into town, purchasing the Kalo and Geneva Hineman home at 145 South Second. The sun porch on the north side became another source of inspiration for her creativity. During this time Patrycia won several prestigious awards in the “Art is Ageless” competition and was the featured artist at Botanica four different times. Patrycia was blessed to have received two separate grants from the Heritage Trust Fund which allowed her to achieve her goal of finishing the work on the Old Bank Gallery and in time acquired the rest of the wrap-around building, which became the workspace for so many projects. One of Patrycia’s crowning achievements was to become a founding member of the “Painted Ladies.” Named for a species of butterfly, this was a group of like-minded women artists from the region who would get together once a month and spend the day emersed in their various art projects. They often would exhibit together at the 2nd Avenue Art Guild and at the Manor of the Plains in Dodge City, Kansas. Patrycia’s husband Walter Owen passed in 2010, but it didn’t slow her down any. She took over bookkeeping for the farm and even drove a truck during milo harvest. She was constantly reinventing herself. When the pandemic came it was difficult for Patrycia to postpone her lessons, but it was of great joy she was able to start them up again when the crisis passed. Students Evie, Olive, Harper and Evey brought immense joy to Patrycia. She worked with other students and colleagues, during this time: Shelly Selfridge, Jenny Linden-Tracz and Julia Pate to name three. All loved Patrycia with all their hearts. Patrycia continued to teach until the end of the semester, shortly before her passing. Patrycia’s final scheduled show will be the first week of August at the 2nd Avenue Art Guild in Dodge City, Kansas. Patrycia’s radiance touched everyone she knew. Thousands were influenced and affected by her grace. We should all be so lucky. Survivors include her son Joel S. Herndon of Dighton, Kansas; daughter Kendra Alana Herndon and husband Nic of Greenville, North Carolina; brother Joe London of Henrico, Virginia; sister Jane Mullins of Dallas, Texas; and sister-in-law Corinne Herndon of Dighton, Kansas. A Memorial Service will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Friday June 16, 2023 at the United Methodist Church of Dighton with Reverend A. G. Turner officiating. The family suggests memorial contributions to be given to the Patrycia Ann Herndon Memorial Fund in care of Boomower Funeral Home. Fifty percent of the fund will go to the ongoing restoration of the building, thirty percent toward a scholarship for a future student pursuing art, and 2wenty percent toward art supplies for future students at the Old Bank Gallery.
