Rosemary Walt, age 83, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, November 22, 2022.&nbsp;

Rosemary was born near Quinter, KS on August 23, 1939, to Anton and Rosalia (Giebler) Dinkel. She was the youngest of eleven children. When she was young, her family moved to a farm north of Collyer. Growing up on the farm, she learned to garden, which she still loved. Her mother taught her to crochet. She spent many hours crocheting afghans. All her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren have one to remember her by. The last few years, she crocheted several stuffed animals for her great-grandkids. She was an excellent cook. We enjoyed many delicious meals, especially during the holidays.&nbsp;

Rosemary attended school in Collyer, where she graduated salutatorian of her class in 1957. After high school, she worked at the Coop in Collyer as a bookkeeper. She married Ted Walt Jr. on October 7, 1961, at Saint Michael's Catholic Church in Collyer. They had three children, Larry, Terry, and Patty. They were lifelong residents of Collyer.&nbsp;

Ted and Rosemary opened Walt's Repair in 1963 where she worked as the secretary and bookkeeper until she retired in 1996. After her retirement, she frequently helped Ted on the farm. They also enjoyed training bird dogs. They loved traveling to competitions and controlled hunts with their dogs. For many years, Rosemary and her sister Rosalie made custom cakes ranging from small, simple cakes to large, elaborate wedding cakes.&nbsp;

Rosemary was a member of Saint Michael's Alter Society, the American Legion Auxiliary, and Gove County Medical Center Ladies Auxiliary, where she volunteered at the gift shop for several years.&nbsp;

Rosemary's greatest joy was her family. She was thrilled to have her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren living near or in Collyer. She had a unique relationship with each of us and loved us unconditionally. She especially loved having her great-grandkids come to visit.&nbsp;

Rosemary was preceded in death by her parents, husband Ted, and siblings Paul, Bertha, Leo, Beata, Marcella, Don, Rosalie, Alvin and Clarence.

Dalton Lynn Frost, 30, passed away on Tuesday, March 21st, 2023, at his home in Gorham, KS.&nbsp;

Dalton and his twin were daredevils from the start and lived life at full speed. He loved being in the outdoors, whether it was hunting, fishing, camping, going to the lake, or just driving on country roads for hours.&nbsp;There wasn’t a mechanical issue that he couldn’t solve or a tool he couldn’t reinvent to get the job done. He loved cracking open a cold one and shooting the breeze with his friends and family. His daughter, Kenlee, was his world and he did anything and everything he could for her. Dalton never knew a stranger because anyone he met automatically became his friend. His big smile, loving hugs and great sense of humor would make&nbsp;anyone’s day better. He would do anything for anyone&nbsp;and was selfless to a fault. His family, daughter and close friends meant everything to him&nbsp;and&nbsp;are the reason he stayed on Earth as long as he did.&nbsp;

He was&nbsp;preceded&nbsp;in death by his twin brother, Dakota; his paternal and maternal grandparents; three uncles; two aunts; and a niece.

He is survived by his mother, Vickie Frost (Leonard Boese) of Susank, KS; his father, Gerald Frost of Russell, KS; his daughter, Kenlee Peterson, and his son, Jaxon Casper, both of Russell, KS; his sister, Amanda Fabian Valadez (Enoe) of Russell, KS; his sister, Amber Frost of Lawrence, KS; his brothers Shane Michaelis and Ethan Frost (Justus), both of Russell, KS; his many beloved nieces and nephews: Braden, Gianna, Arya, Isabella, Briley, Haven, Zane, Nevaeh, Alieah, Matteo,&nbsp;Little Ethan, Ryker, Valencia, and Xavier; and by many special aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.&nbsp;

There will be a gathering at Pohlman&nbsp;Varner Peeler Mortuary on&nbsp;Friday, April 14, 2023, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. to sign the guest book, visit with the family, pay respects and&nbsp;view memory&nbsp;boards. At a later, warmer date, a larger celebration of life event will take place outdoors. When the date, time, and location of this event are decided, they will be announced by both the mortuary and family.&nbsp;Cremation has been chosen and there will be no internment at this time.&nbsp;

Jack Edward Hilgers Jr. passed away on Saturday, April 8, 2023, at 
the Rooks County Health Center in Plainville, KS. He was born on 
November 4, 1945, in St. Louis, MO to Jack and LaVerne (Leuthauser) 
Hilgers Sr.

Jack grew up in Hays, KS and graduated 
from Hays High School in 1963. He attended college at Fort Hays State 
University, Northern State University in South Dakota, and later 
finished his teaching degree at Fort Hays. He taught physical science, 
computers, general math, and physics at Plainville High School for 27 
years. Jack loved to teach; he would say he loved to see the lightbulbs 
come on in the kids’ heads. He strongly supported the kids that 
struggled.

Jack had a passion for family. He married 
his wife, Fontaine Theile on August 6, 1966, in Norton, KS. Together 
they shared raising their two children Jeff and Holly, building their 
home, golfing, farming, and traveling. Jack and Fontaine built their 
home together, doing most of it by his own design and their own labor. 
Jack also had a great passion for farming. He put to practice skills he 
learned from his grandfather, John Hilgers. Jack enjoyed golfing with 
his wife and friends, collecting coins, and for a while even had a 
pilot’s license and flew a small airplane. He loved spending time with 
his grandchildren. One time while Fontaine was out of town babysitting 
Sophia and Michael, Jack and his grandson Jaden made a spontaneous 
decision to leave together in the middle of the night for the Grand 
Canyon.

Jack was Vietnam War Veteran earning the rank of Staff Sergeant and a member of Messiah Lutheran Church.

A
 dedicated husband, father, teacher and farmer, Jack was a man who loved
 his Lord, Jesus Christ, and passed that love on to his family so it 
would continue to grow and be nurtured in their lives. He not only 
tended the farm ground, but also the hearts, minds, and souls of all who
 knew him. His legacy will live forever in our hearts and lives.

Jack
 is survived by his wife, Fontaine of Plainville; son, Jeff (Erin Chinn)
 Hilgers of Augusta, KS; daughter, Holly (John) Pandich of Pinehurst, 
NC; brothers, Phil (Nanette) Hilgers of Plainville and Steve (Lynn) 
Hilger of Hays; sister, Jane (Bob) Karlin of Houston, TX; and four 
grandchildren: Jaden and Maddy Hilgers, both of Wichita, KS, and Sophia 
and Michael Pandich, both of Pinehurst, NC.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Jack and Laverne Hilgers, Sr.

Funeral
 services will be held on Saturday, April 15, 2023, at 10:30 AM, at 
Messiah Lutheran Church, 2000 Main Street Hays, Kansas 67601.&nbsp; Graveside
