Peggy Ann Rice peacefully departed this life on Sunday, June 18, 2023. She was born January 3, 1934 in Lebanon, Kansas, the daughter of Dean and Roma (Baldwin) Jennings. From childhood she embraced her only sibling, Connie, who remained Peggy's closest, best friend until the end. 

On March 31, 1951, Peggy was united in marriage to Richard Rice at Smith Center, Kansas. This union was blessed with three children, Rick, Ron and Kevin.

Peggy's love for her family was immeasurable. Her primary focus was creating a warm and loving home to raise her sons alongside her husband. She was always generous and selfless. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend who loved them all and made sure each one knew how special they were to her.

After serving 21 years in the Air Force, Richard and Peggy returned home to Lebanon, KS. Peggy experiences as a military spouse gave her a lifetime of memories and a great appreciation of the American flag. Peggy enjoyed reading, particularly the local newspapers to keep abreast of current events. She also enjoyed traveling, but the best part of any trip was returning home to Lebanon. Peggy loved Christmas and made the holidays special for her family. She will be sorely missed by all those who loved her, but they will find comfort in knowing that she is now enjoying her heavenly reward after being reunited with her husband.

Peggy was preceded in death by her husband and her parents. 

Left to treasure her memory are her children Rick (Pam) Rice, Esbon, Ks, Ron (Karen Elder) Rice, Hays, Ks, and Kevin (Diana) Rice, Lebanon, Ks, one grandson, Dave Rice, sister Connie (Roger) Sink, sister-in-law Betty Voboril, and a host of nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends.&nbsp;

The family would like to express their sincere appreciation for the care provided to Peggy by the staff at Smith Center Health and Rehab, and a special thank you to Betty Pilcher for her friendship and services provided.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial donations to the Lebanon Christian Church, the Cedar Hill Cemetery (Cora) or charity of choice in memory of Peggy.

Nila Mae (Breit) Winder, 82, of Newport, North Carolina, passed away on Friday, June 16, 2023, at the Crystal Coast Hospice House.

The family will celebrate Nila's life at a later date with a memorial service to be held in Hays, Kansas.

Nila was born on July 24, 1940, in Pfeifer, Kansas, to the late Alois and Pauline Breit. Her story is one of love, family, and the joys of being a wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. For 43 years, she shared a deep and affectionate bond with her husband, Lawrence Eugene Winder, creating a life filled with cherished memories and a strong partnership.

Nila was a faithful member of St. Egbert Catholic Church. She was a devout Catholic woman who held strong to the beliefs that guided her life.

Nila had great satisfaction when working in the yard which was both fulfilling, and the result was rewarding. Whether she was gardening, landscaping, or simply spending time outdoors, it was certainly an enjoyable activity for her.

Collecting knickknacks was a fun hobby that Nila loved. Expressing her individuality, creativity, and appreciation for the things that caught her eye and sparked her curiosity, her collection was incredible along with the joy each trinket brought her.

Though she may no longer be with them in person, Nila's legacy of love will forever be cherished by her family. In addition to her husband, she is survived by her daughters Kimberly Rice and husband George of Newport and Amy Barmann and husband Kyle of St. Joseph, MO; sisters Cora McCartney and husband Jerry of Garden City, KS and Judy Strecker and husband Richard of Wichita, KS; brother Ed Breit and wife Maryann of Hays, KS; grandchildren Phillip Recob, Whitney Smith, Collin Jackson, and Devon Jackson; and great-grandchildren Kaiden Jackson and Waylon Smith.

As an expression of sympathy, memorial contributions may be made to the Crystal Coast Hospice House, P.O. Box 640, Newport, NC 28570.

Stacey Schumacher Badger, 56, passed away on Jan. 16, 2023, in Salem, Oregon. She was born June 27, 1966, in Hays, the daughter of Leon Schumacher and Stephanie Jacobs Schumacher.

Stacey was a graduate of the class of 1984 from Hays High School. She then attended Kansas State University from 1984 to 1988, where she earned two bachelor’s degrees: one in Spanish and another in journalism and mass communications.

Her senior year at Kansas State, Stacey was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa and went on to graduate cum laude. Not long after graduating with her bachelor’s degrees, she made the decision to study law and attended the University of Kansas where she graduated in 1993 with a Juris Doctor degree.

Stacey soon began her legal career in Carbondale, Ill., where she worked as a legal intern for the Illinois Migrant Legal Assistance Project (IMLAP), performing outreach and providing legal assistance to migrant farmworkers there.

In 1996, she made the move to Chicago; to work as a staff attorney with the Legal Assistance Foundation of Chicago (LAF), an organization that provides legal services to the economically disadvantaged. She eventually returned to work for IMLAP again, but this time in the role of staff attorney. Stacey was very passionate about advocating for the disadvantaged and marginalized in society. Because she was a fluent Spanish speaker, her position as staff attorney at IMLAP advocating for the rights of migrant farm workers was a perfect fit for her.

After a life-changing diagnosis of multiple sclerosis in 1999, Stacey’s path changed significantly. She left her job at the Migrant Legal Assistance Project and accepted a position as a corporate immigration attorney with the Chicago law firm Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen and Loewy; where she worked until 2003.

In 2003, following her heart, she made a bold decision to leave behind her life as a corporate lawyer in Chicago, and instead, forged a new path for herself in Tucson, Ariz., where she moved in spring 2004. Arizona was a new beginning for Stacey and along with that brave move came many new life adventures, new job opportunities, and most importantly a new love, Don Badger. Stacey and Don, both practicing Buddhists, met at a local Buddhist meeting in Tucson in 2004. Soon after, they started dating, fell in love, and were later married on Feb. 26, 2006. Don was the love of Stacey’s life and the two lived happily together in Scottsdale, Ariz., until Don’s untimely death in January 2009.

Stacey continued to live in the Scottsdale area for several years after Don’s passing. Unfortunately, during that time, her MS progressed significantly, making everyday life more difficult for her to navigate alone. In 2014, she was introduced to Scott Belmont by a mutual friend from the Buddhist community in Scottsdale. The two hit it off instantly and quickly became a couple. In April of 2015, Stacey and Scott moved to Salem, Oregon, to escape the Arizona heat, where they continued to live together until Stacey’s recent hospitalization and subsequent passing.

Stacey was very much a citizen of the world and had many different interests and passions. She loved music of all kinds and had an extensive collection. Not only did she love listening to great music, Stacey also loved to sing. In high school she sang in the Pop Singers, Acapella Choir and performed in several musicals. She also loved to travel and made several trips to Mexico over the years, even attending the university in Jalapa, Veracruz, one summer. She visited Cuba, Guatemala, Brazil and on more than one occasion, Peru.

Stacey loved reading and, even more, writing. She was, in fact, an author. She wrote and released her own memoir, "The Invisible Cause," in 2011, which tells the story of her life and particularly recounts her struggles and perseverance after receiving the MS diagnosis in 1999 and the sudden passing of her husband, Don, in 2009.

Stacey Badger was a very spiritual person. She spent her lifetime working on healing and bettering herself in every way possible. She had a ‘never- give-up mentality,' and she practiced it until the end. We admire and miss her greatly.

Stacey is survived by her parents, Leon and Stephanie Schumacher, Hays; her brother, Scott Schumacher, Olathe; her sister, Jacinta (Kendall) McKevery, Olathe; her sister, Nicole (Sheldon) Mabry, Garland, Texas; her nieces, Stephanie Sailes Cervantez, Lewisville, Texas; Jourdan McKevery, Overland Park; Kierra McKevery Herdrich, Olathe; Regan Schumacher, Tulsa, Okla.; her nephew, Riley Schumacher, Lincoln, Neb.; her partner, Scott Belmont, Salem, Oregon; and many other family members and friends.

Everyone will change, nothing and no one goes unchanged.The young become the old, mysteries do unfold.Cause that's the way of time.There aren't many things in life you can be sure of, except ...Rain comes from the clouds, Sun lights up the sky, and Hummingbirds Do Fly.
