I'll always remember the song they were playin'

As we swayed to the music and held to each other

Could I have this dance for the rest of my life?

Judith Pearl is dancing!&nbsp; On June 18, 2023, Mom joined our Dad, Jim, for an eternal dance.&nbsp; The first time they “cut the rug” is unknown, but the story is told that a boyfriend of Judie had joined the service only to return to find that Jim had “cut in” and claimed the dance.&nbsp; Mom’s parents, Raymond and Sallie Stover would be able to tell a few stories regarding Judie, her siblings (Smokey, JoJo, and John), her childhood friends, and the crazy stunts they would pull.&nbsp; Jim and Judie’s wedding dance started on 11/29/1959, and you could bet they would jitter, swing or slow dance wherever the opportunity allowed.&nbsp;

Their dance would move to the ranch north of Sharon Springs in the early 1960s as they swayed to the tune of Tammy, Connie, Matthew, and Sallie.&nbsp; The family, cattle and farm life brought out the best in Judie, especially her cooking.&nbsp; A master of the homemade bread, chicken-fried steak, sugar cookies and beef jerky, she would load the school bus and head to the harvest field, or the van and head to the lake, or just invite anyone in the area to the farmhouse for a meal, cards, games, and fellowship.

Judie loved to invite her community to join her on the dance floor.&nbsp; Whether as an EMT, an aerobics instructor, the crazy snake lady of the Rattlesnake Roundup, or ever-present at her children’s sports and activities, Mom loved the fast pace.&nbsp; Many fall seasons ended with a Corn Party that grew larger than life.&nbsp; Family, friends, community, dancing, and celebration created a moment of togetherness and joy.&nbsp;

Nine grandchildren fell in love with a goofy and free-spirited Grandma Judie.&nbsp; The bottomless candy dish and pistachio bowl were a mainstay on her kitchen table.&nbsp; She would talk to them in an “abb” language that each tried to replicate and converse back.&nbsp; “Motor-boat” lips, or whatever that was, would break-out without warning.&nbsp; Show tunes brought everyone into the room as she would pick just the right one for the exact moment that was occurring.&nbsp; Judie took her “show” into retirement in Colby.&nbsp; It seemed the most important aspect of choosing a house was if the whole family could fit during holidays and reunions.&nbsp; To ensure a good time the swimming pool was always ready to go when the family arrived.&nbsp;

If you were fortunate you would have been one of Judie’s VIDs (Very Important Dog).&nbsp; Gus, Ollie and Baxter were the recipients of anything the grandchildren were entitled to.&nbsp; She orchestrated life with a python, canaries, raccoon, chickens, geese, and guineas.&nbsp; She had an eye for art and jewelry.&nbsp; And to the very end she wanted to know when the Broncos were playing next, never wanting to miss the game.&nbsp; While this earthly dance has concluded, we are confident that Jim swooped her off her feet and they are once again leading the Grand March.&nbsp; We’ll miss you for now, but we’ll see you soon.&nbsp; This dance lasts forever.&nbsp; Love You!

She is lovingly survived by her four children; Tammy (Randy) Robben of Sharon Springs, KS, Connie (Shad) Mehl of Leoti, KS, Matthew (Nancy) Withers of Wichita, KS and Sallie (Elliot) Jensen of Andover, KS.&nbsp; She is also survived by her nine grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Visitation will be held on Friday, June 23, 2023 from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. CT at the Colby United Methodist Church in Colby, KS.

Funeral services will be held on Saturday, June 24, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. CT at the Colby United Methodist Church.&nbsp; Burial will follow in the Beulah Cemetery, Colby, KS.

Ronald Duane LaFever, born January 14th, 1956, found eternal peace on June 17th, 2023. 

Remembered in life by his adoring wife Barb LaFever, his loving children Robert (Gloria) LaFever, Michael (Felicia) Degley, Amanda Degley, Tasha Degley, Mathew (Rovahna) Degley, Samantha LaFever, Roquie Settlers, and Brian P. (Lilty) Lenyard, caring brother Greg (Brenda) LaFever, sweet niece Megan (Brett) Ebert, along with many other family and friends. Ron was also the very proud and doting Papa of his grandchildren Codty LaFever, Anastasia Hultner, Jasmine Salaam, Abel Dolderer, Sapheria Degley, Skie Degley, Zaliyah and Amari Jones, Roselynn, Faith, and Natalie Orta, Liam Degley, Tazari, MacKenzie, and Saniyah LaFever.

Ronnie was preceded in death by his parents Ron and Judy LaFever and brother Jeff.

Ron was considered the jack of all trades, yet master of none, and if you saw him outside he was probably wrenching on a car. Ron was a diehard family man and Green Bay Packers fan! Ron was tougher than titanium nails, but wouldn't hesitate to help someone in need. Ron thoroughly enjoyed fishing, camping, and traveling with his family. He was also a music enthusiast who attended LOTS of concerts and music festivals with Barb and kids. Ron was a carefree spirit, a spitfire, with a heart of gold. Anyone lucky enough to know him surely has lasting memories and stories to share. Ron was so loved and will be missed by many. Heaven gained one hell of an angel! Soar with the eagles.

Here's the speech from Tazari, Ronald's grandson: my Grandfather was a good man I always knew him as a sweet loving warm-hearted guy although we went through many difficult struggle's and had our differences he still pulled through and my Nana also know as my Grandmother helped him out to she would encourage him to stop smoking and I helped to they were always calling me a big helper and as smart as Albert Einstein god gave me that gift and I loved it but you know what god also gave me two loving warm-hearted sweet grandparents and they were always by my side they were My guardians they always protect me even when I was down they rose me up from the ashes and I will always love them for what they did. Love tazari lafever I wanna give all my family members a big thanks for reaching out and supporting them I love you guys so much More than anything else in the world love you amen.

Dwight A. York, 93, of Oakley, passed away on June 20, 2023, at the Logan County Hospital in Oakley. He was born on August 30, 1929 in rural Gove County to Henry and Alberta (Brown) York, the youngest of three siblings. 

Dwight attended school in a one-room schoolhouse in Gove County and later graduated with the Healy High School class of 1947. Dwight then earned a degree from Fort Hays State University in agriculture and business in 1952. 

The following December, he was drafted into the United States Army. He was stationed in San Francisco, working at the Presidio as a file clerk until his honorable discharge on October 8, 1954. He married Dorothy Arensman on June 15, 1952 at Bushton, and together they had four children: Denise Lynn, Dana Sue, Devon Kay and Daren Dwight. They made their home in Healy, where Dwight was a lifelong farmer and rancher, partnering with his brother Forrest in the farming venture York Brothers. Dorothy preceded him in death in 2002. On September 8, 2002, Dwight married Mary Helen Munk at her ranch in Gove County. Dwight gained a stepson, Jason. Dwight and Mary made their home both at the ranch and in Healy for the next several years, later moving to Oakley. She survives. Farming and ranching were a big part of Dwight’s life for all of his years. After “retiring” he enjoyed staying involved in farming and ranching through Mary’s ranch in Gove County. He had a remarkable memory when it came to every piece of ground and its legal description, which crop was currently on it and how much he thought it would make. His other hobbies included golf, playing bridge, family genealogy, geological exploration, watching sports (especially the Kansas City Chiefs and the Royals) and being with his family. Dwight was a past member of the KLA, the IOOF Hall in Healy, a member of the Healy Methodist Church and a founding member of Lane County Feeders. Dwight is survived by his wife Mary York of Oakley; daughters Denise York (Paula Bailey) of Oklahoma City and Dana (Vance) Shay of Healy; son Daren (Jennifer) York of Scott City; stepson Jason Munk of Colby; sister-in-law Pamela Jennison of Healy; grandchildren Jordan (Logan) Dreiling of Scott City, Josh (Shannon) York of Healy, Camron (Jennifer) Shay of Healy, Darrick York (Meghan Oliver) of Kansas City, MO, Jaylee York (David Nuss) of Seattle, WA, Trinity Munk of Colby, Jaya Munk of Colby, Griff (Courtney) Burdette of Manhattan; seven great-grandchildren, and many special nephews, nieces, friends and family. He was preceded in death by his parents; sister Maxine Wilson and brother-in-law Shelby Wilson; brother Forrest York and sister-in-law Gladys York; and infant daughter Devon Kay. Funeral services will take place at the Oakley United Methodist Church at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 24 with Pastor Bob Kelly and Pastor Bud Tuxhorn presiding. Burial will follow at the Healy Cemetery and a lunch will be served at the Healy Methodist Church.

Memorials may be made to Logan County Senior Living, United Methodist Church of Oakley or the Healy Methodist Church and sent in care of Baalmann Mortuary, P.O. Box 391, Colby, KS 67701.

Carl Nelson, 93, lifelong resident of Goodland, Kansas, passed away on June 22, 2023.

Carl was born on December 17, 1929 to Fred and Ellen Nelson at the homestead northeast of Ruleton, Kansas.&nbsp; 

He attended school in Ruleton and Sherman County High School.&nbsp; 

On November 11, 1951, Carl married Elmarie Lasley. They had two daughters, Carla and Aline. Carl served in the U.S. Navy from 1950 to 1954. He was stationed in San Diego, California; Kodiak, Alaska; and Japan on the aircraft carriers USS Valley Forge and USS Boxer during the Korean War.&nbsp; He attained the rank of Aviation&nbsp;Machinist’s Mate Second Class.&nbsp; After his military service, Carl and his family returned to Goodland to farm in 1954.&nbsp; Due to a four-year drought from 1954 to 1958, he didn’t have any wheat crops.&nbsp; He worked at Burkett’s Dairy delivering milk to schools in the area during those early years.&nbsp; He then worked with construction companies, in addition to farming, building many homes in Goodland and surrounding towns.&nbsp;

Carl loved farming and used soil conservation techniques before it was a common practice.&nbsp; He worked hard to expand his farming through the years.&nbsp; Wheat harvest was a special time when his daughters, grandchildren, and nephews came to help.&nbsp; Carl and Elmarie moved from town to the Nelson homestead in 1973.&nbsp; He worked hard to improve the farm.&nbsp; In 1980 and 1981, Carl was presented the Kansas Bankers Award for his soil conservation techniques.&nbsp; He received the Windbreak award in 1996.&nbsp; Carl was proud to be a farmer.

World War II history was a favorite interest to Carl.&nbsp; He also enjoyed listening to music, even classical music, while driving his tractor.&nbsp; He enjoyed fishing in Nebraska, Wyoming, and Colorado.&nbsp; Carl and his wife supported 4-H when their daughters and nephews were members. They continued their support of 4-H for over 50 years.&nbsp; 

He was a member of the First United Methodist Church, VFW, and Elks.

Fortunately, Carl and his wife were able to travel abroad and throughout the United States during their senior years.&nbsp; A highlight for him was in 2014 when he went on a Kansas Honor Flight to Washington D.C. with Aline serving as his guardian.&nbsp;

Carl was preceded in death by his wife; parents; brothers Melvin, Martin, Harry; and sisters Irene, Esther, and Lucille.&nbsp; 

He is survived by his daughters Carla (Milt) Richter, Aline (Reg) Phillips; four grandchildren: Shawn (Katie) Phillips, Dru (Kelly) Phillips, Amber (Andy) Edwards, Erin (Trevor) Schoonover; eight great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.&nbsp;

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be made directly to the United Methodist Church or the Sherman County 4-H Council and may be left at the services or mailed to Koons- Russell Funeral Home, 211 N. Main Ave., Goodland, Kansas 67735.&nbsp;

Edna Grubb, 94, of Horace, KS, passed away at home after a long and full life on Monday, June 19th.&nbsp; Edna passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family. This is a celebration of her life.

Edna Delores Jones was born southeast of Arapahoe in Cheyenne County, CO, on June 4, 1929.&nbsp; She had six sisters and two brothers.&nbsp; Her father, Elias Avery Jones, was a farmer and her mother, Caroline Susanne Talmon Jones was a housewife.&nbsp; Edna was long impacted by the great depression and the Dust Bowl in the 1930s which made life extremely difficult for the Jones family and for most people living on the Great Plains.
