William Thomas "Tommy" Sibley passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, February 2, 2023.&nbsp;

Tommy was born on November 4th, 2001, in Kingman, AZ. He was the 
oldest of three children. He attended Goodland High School graduating in
 2020, and went on to Northwest Kansas Technical College.&nbsp; He completed 
the Auto Body Technology program in 2022. He was a confirmed Catholic at
 Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church.

Tommy was a collector, he started young with: baseball cards, 
football cards, sticker's, YuGiOh cards, and his Aunt Kari's Garbage 
Pail Kids cards. In Kansas he collected hugs and fond memories from ice 
skating to BBQing with Grandpa at the grill. Grandma made him no 
stranger to cooking sweet and savory. His divinity was the perfect 
consistency, and his chili will always be remembered&nbsp;as the hottest.&nbsp;

His love of collecting grew into an entrepreneurial&nbsp;soul. He made his
 own forge when he wanted to make a knife, started brewing his own beer 
and wine, and more recently he could be found on Saturdays at the 
Farmers Market selling his homemade soap and vegetables from the garden.
 He loved growing and trying different kinds of hot peppers, most 
recently the Carolina Reaper.&nbsp;

He loved metal music and attended several concerts with his mom. He 
loved the outdoors and enjoyed exploring different hiking trails when 
visiting family in Texas. He enjoyed spending time with brothers and mom
 watching movies, shopping, and playing video games.&nbsp;

When Tommy was younger and still in Alaska, he and his family rescued
 a Pitbull Roxy whom he loved very much. Later in life when in Kansas he
 was a great companion to his dog Ranger.

Tommy’s surviving family includes his Grandparents Gary and Cynthia 
Kickler, his Mother Kori Sibley, two Brothers Thor and Heath Sibley, an 
Aunt Kari Sabin, and Cousins Devin, Zoey, and Brok Sabin.

Tommy was preceded in death by his Great Grandfather Floyd Owens, and Aunt Heather Sibley.

Catherine Ann "Katy" Windholz died on Sunday, February 5, 2023, at Brookdale Senior Living Solutions, Hays.&nbsp; She was 89.

Katy was born on January 19, 1934, at the family farm near Walker, 
Kansas to John and Catherine (Scheck) Riedel.&nbsp; She was the 11th of 13 
siblings.&nbsp; She appreciated her childhood, spending time and doing 
various chores around the farm with her brothers and sisters.&nbsp; She 
especially enjoyed the many day-trips she would take with her father, 
from going to cattle auctions to driving out west to Gove County to 
check on farm ground.&nbsp; She attended and graduated from Walker Grade 
School.

On November 4, 1953, Katy was united in marriage to LeRoy Windholz at 
St. Ann’s Catholic Church in Walker.&nbsp; To this union two sons, Gerald 
‘Gary’ and David ‘Dave’ were born.&nbsp; Katy and LeRoy made their home in 
Russell, Natoma, Emmeram and Hays before moving to Quinter in 1956, 
where they lived the remainder of their married life.&nbsp; In 1969, thanks 
to hard work and careful savings, Katy and LeRoy built their own house 
in Quinter, a place they were proud to call home for over 50 years.&nbsp; 
Katy and LeRoy enjoyed 62 years of marriage.&nbsp; LeRoy passed away on 
September 6, 2016.&nbsp; Katy remained in Quinter until June 2020, at which 
time she moved to Brookdale Senior Living in Hays due to declining 
health.

Katy was the co-owner and operator of Hill Top Service, a gas station 
and tavern along Old Highway 40 in Quinter from 1956 to 1976.&nbsp; In 1980 
she began a 25-year career as the cook and baker each Monday at the 
Quinter Livestock Commission, retiring in 2005.&nbsp; In the late 1980s 
through the mid-1990s she also cooked at the Q-Inn and Tepa restaurants 
in Quinter.&nbsp; Katy also assisted LeRoy with his farming and ranching 
business, helping him do chores on the farm, taking care of all the 
accounting book work and was diligent about feeding all the ‘harvest 
crews’ for many years.&nbsp; LeRoy and Katy retired from ranching in 1997 and
 then from farming in 2003.

Always very true to her Catholic faith, Katy was a longtime member of 
St. Michael’s Catholic Church in Collyer. &nbsp;She was a proud and wonderful
 cook, and especially known throughout the Quinter community for his 
signature pies.&nbsp; She made them often made for many community members.&nbsp; 
&nbsp;She also was very proud of and enjoyed spending time with her sons, 
grandchildren, great grandchildren, siblings, nieces and nephews and the
 many friends she considered family.

Survivors include: two sons, Gary Windholz, Quinter and Dave (Jonita) 
Windholz, Hays; two grandsons, Kevin (Mindy) Windholz, Edmond, Oklahoma 
and Ryan (Sarah) Windholz, Hays; one granddaughter, Jennifer Clements, 
Olathe; five great-grandsons, Spencer Windholz, Aidan Windholz, Ryan 
Clements, Jace Cearley, and Cole Windholz; one great-granddaughter, 
Emily Clements; two sisters, Agnes Leiker, Hays, and Josephine (John) 
Braun, Victoria; two brothers-in-law, Francis (Helen) Windholz, Victoria
 and August (Linda) Windholz, Hays; four sisters-in-law, Zita Riedel, 
Mission, Marilyn Riedel, Lenexa, Mildred Wittman, Hays, and Shirley 
(Albert) Flax, Ellis; many nieces and nephews and friends.

Katy was preceded in death by her husband, LeRoy Windholz; her parents,
 John and Catherine Riedel; six brothers, Herbert Riedel, Alvin Riedel 
(I), Alvin Riedel (II), Francis Riedel, Marcellus Riedel and John

Catherine Ann ‘Katy’ Windholz

Daniel Ross Denneler, 97, of Colby, Kansas, passed away peacefully on 
February 2, 2023. Dan was born on July 27, 1925, in Winchester, KS, to 
Carmelita Virginia Barnes Denneler and Alexander Hamilton Denneler. He 
graduated from Jefferson County High School and received a farm 
deferment for World War II so that he was not entered into the draft. 
Dan went to Kansas State University majoring in Civil Engineering. While
 in college, he joined the Army ROTC program in 1952. Once Dan graduated
 from Kansas State, he attended Advanced ROTC training at Fort Bliss, 
Texas in Anti-Aircraft Artillery. Dan was sent to Korea, making several 
brief stops for the aircraft to refuel – one memorable place was 
Anchorage, Alaska. Once Dan was in Korea, he lived in a dugout and was 
on the front lines, shooting from one hill to the other, not being able 
to see the enemy. Dan shared a story about how lucky he was to be alive.
 At the end of his tour of duty, Dan’s replacement took the same route, 
but the replacement and Jeep driver were hit by artillery shells and 
both were killed. Dan was discharged in 1958 as a 1st Lieutenant. Dan 
began his federal career with the Soil Conservation Service in eastern 
Kansas, working for 34 years for that agency and serving nine counties 
in western Kansas. 
Dan met the love of his life Margaret Ellen Suther in 1960 at a Catholic
 Valentine’s dance in Topeka, Kansas. They were married in Frankfort, KS
 on November 26, 1960, and took a three week, driving honeymoon to 
Mexico City in Dan’s Desert Rose pink Edsel. Margaret and Dan lived 
briefly in Atchison, then Garden City, then came to Colby in 1962 and 
built their life here. They were blessed with five, alphabetically-named
 children – Anne, Brenda, Charles, David, and Eric. 
Over the years Dan was devoted to many loves. He volunteered at Sacred 
Heart Catholic Church as caretaker of the cemetery, in the Knights of 
Columbus, and as an usher. From his retirement in the nineties, he 
meticulously tended the cemetery until 2022. He loved the outdoors – 
trimming trees, driving tractors, farming, mowing and tending the yard. 
He had a strong sense of community and donated blood until he was 92. 
Dan was a wonderful son, husband, father, grandfather, and 
great-grandfather. He is survived by his wife Margaret; sister, Mary 
Collins (Richard) of Sun City, AZ; daughters, Anne Pettit (Terry) of 
Fort Collins, CO and Brenda Drei (Andrew) of Dallas, TX; sons, Charles 
Denneler (Laura) of Lawrence, KS, David Denneler (Jaton) of Colby, KS 
and Eric Denneler (Sandra) of Wichita, KS. Dan has 12 grandchildren: 
Ashley (Aaron) Weigel, Casey (Grace) Denneler, Alyssa Denneler (Robert) 
Girard, Mason Denneler, Katherine Pettit Wagenschutz (James), Emma 
Pettit, Sean Drei, Ryan Drei, Sammy Drei, Gus Denneler, and Bea 
Denneler. He is survived by six great grandchildren: Archer Weigel, 
Jacob and Jadin Hall, Kynzlee Denneler, Chase Wagenschutz, Zoe 
Wagenschutz. 
He was preceded in death by his parents, Alexander and Carmelita Denneler; twin baby brothers and sisters Doris Ann and Paula. 
The family will receive friends from 5-7:00 p.m. with a vigil at 7:00 
p.m. Monday, February 6, 2023, at Baalmann Mortuary, Colby. A Memorial 
Mass will take place at 10:00 a.m. Tuesday, February 7, 2023, at Sacred 
Heart Catholic Church, Colby, with inurnment in the Sacred Heart 
Cemetery.

Memorials may be mad to Sacred Heart School and sent in care 
of Baalmann Mortuary, PO Box 391, Colby, KS 67701. For information or

Daniel Ross Denneler

Daniel J.  Pfeifer, baptized into the hope of Christ's resurrection, passed away peacefully on February 1, 2023. He was 91 years old.

Born in Victoria, Kansas, on May 14, 1931, Dan was the third of eight children. He graduated from St. Joseph's Military Academy in Hays, Kansas, in 1949. There, he was in the science club, boxed and was on the basketball team as well as the starting center on the 1948 Kansas High School State Champion Football Team. He lettered in marksmanship and was a member of the rifle team, which won the grand championship at the Midwest Camp Perry Rifle Match and placed second in the Fifth Army Intercollegiate matches, winning multiple medals in the sitting position. During the summers, he worked harvesting wheat on his family's farm. He lettered in football his freshman and sophomore years at Fort Hays State University before being drafted into the U.S. Army in 1952. He served as a radar technician on active duty in the United States during the Korean Conflict and was discharged with the rank of corporal in 1954.

In August 1954, he married Lorene Rohr, and they moved to Wichita, Kansas, where Dan worked at Boeing Aircraft and completed his degree in business administration at Wichita State University. In 1956, he began his professional career as a special agent with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives for 26 years, working in St. Louis, Cape Girardeau, Mo., and concluding his ATF career at Bureau Headquarters in Washington, D.C. He received numerous awards and commendations for his contributions in solving high-profile crimes involving explosives. After retiring from the ATF, he returned to St Louis and worked for the Missouri Dental Board as an investigator for 11 years. In retirement, he worked for H&amp;R Block preparing returns during tax season.

He was characterized by his unwavering faith and his devotion to his family and friends. He served as a role model to many, prayed the Rosary every day, and was generous with his skills and wisdom to anyone who asked.

Dan was known for his humility and optimism. A three-time cancer survivor, he also endured open heart surgery, an ileostomy (and its reversal!), spinal issues and dialysis three times per week with courage and dignity. At 89 years old, he purchased an extended warranty on his new car and requested new cookware with a lifetime guarantee for Christmas 2022.

He enjoyed fishing and organized an annual trip to Lake Taneycomo for more than 20 years for friends, brothers and finally his daughters and their husbands and a grandson; his last trip being September 2022. He loved gardening and grew wonderful tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers. He remained a crack shot throughout his life and went deer hunting with his grandson. He could fix anything and excelled at home projects. From wallpapering to finishing basements, putting up fences, repairing jewelry and building loft beds in college dorm rooms – he could do it. He was a great fan of college football and any team fielded by Notre Dame. Skillful in the kitchen, he was known for Dan's famous meatballs, Dan's famous salsa, perfect popcorn, fluffy pancakes and mixing a pitcher of Scarlet O'Hara's for Christmas Eve. He always rooted for Miss Kansas in the Miss America Pageant.

A girl dad long before the term was invented, he is survived by three very dear daughters, Lou Ann Wilcox (Tom), Susan Carothers (Grant) and Jean Vandegriff (Dale); four precious grandchildren, Michael (Tina) Carothers, Daniel III (Beth), Grace and Sophie Vandegriff as well as four step-grandchildren Will Wilcox, Bridget Lolli (Josie), Michael (Breana Timlin) Wilcox and Colleen Wilcox; and great-grandchildren Leo, Liam, Sofia, Carter, Sawyer and Otis.

He is missed by his brothers Wilbert, Joe (Mary Ellen) and James (Sheila); his sisters Rose Ann James and Sue Haas, his brother-in-law Julius Rohr (Mary Jane) and many nieces, nephews and friends. He was preceded in death by Lorene (Rohr), his beloved wife of 66 years, brothers Clete and Michael Pfeifer, parents Dan and Albina Pfeifer and family members including Frank Haas.

A memorial Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. on Thursday, February 9, at Ss. Joachim and Ann Catholic Church, 4112 McClay Rd., St. Charles, MO. Visitation will be held in the church vestibule starting at 9 a.m. with the Rosary recited at 9:15. A reception will follow immediately in the parish center. Interment will be at Ste. Philippine Cemetery, 4057 Towers Rd., St. Charles, Mo. after the reception. If desired, in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Ss. Joachim &amp; Ann Care Service, 4116 McClay Rd, St. Charles, MO 63304; Our Lady's Inn, ourladysinn.org; or the charity of your choice. Friends may sign the family's online guestbook at Baue.com.

LaDonna Joy Johnson was born in Sisseton, South Dakota, February 10, 
1951, to Lester and Gladys (German) Johnson. She was the ninth of 11 
children born to this family. She spent her first 10 years living on the
 family farm near Peever, attending a country school until her father 
passed away when she was 10 years old. She and the family remaining at 
home moved to Sisseton for a short time before moving to Watertown. 
There she attended junior and senior high school and graduated in 1969.

During
 her freshman year of high school, her sister Joan and husband Dan 
McGraw accepted the pastorate of First Assembly of God in Hill City, 
Kansas. LaDonna, her mother, and some of her siblings visited Hill City 
in the fall of that year. They attended church service at Hill City 
First. It was there that LaDonna caught the eye and attention of the one
 she would one day marry. There were many young people attending 
service, so she knew nothing about him at that point in time, but he 
certainly kept his eye on her. LaDonna came to Hill City for several 
weeks during the summer between her freshman and sophomore year of high 
school. It was during this time that the connection with Jerry Gano was 
made, and dating began. Visits to Hill City were a two or three times 
per year event for LaDonna and her family. The visits were always 
welcomed by her soon-to-be suitor.

Her plans after 
graduation were to attend Trinity Bible School in North Dakota. Jerry, 
knowing what happens to most girls attending Bible School resulted in 
finding a husband. He decided that he should also attend Bible School to
 in part protect his “investment." These years were the start of a true 
and genuine love story that God wove into the tapestry of their lives. 
July 10, 1970, Jerry Gano proposed to LaDonna Joy Johnson and plans for a
 wedding were initiated. March 20, 1971, Jerry and LaDonna were united 
in marriage in Watertown. Their two sons were born in Watertown: Jamie 
Gordon and Jared David. The family lived in Watertown until they moved 
from South Dakota to Jerry’s hometown of Hill City in 1976. In late 1976
 construction of their current home began, and they moved into their new
 home mid-May 1977. Two days later, Jolyn Joy Gano was born.

As
 her children started school, LaDonna worked as a cook in the Hill City 
Grade School and worked there until Jolyn graduated from high school. 
She retired at that time and concentrated on the home and family. She 
cooked for many church camps in Wichita and for Woodston Family Camp for
 19 years. She also baked cookies for local Christmas open houses and 
loved the opportunity to do so.&nbsp;Her love of family was evident in nearly
 all that she did. The house was full of her children and their friends,
 thenlater grandchildren and their friends. LaDonna loved this activity 
and welcomed it with open arms and lots of snacks and food.

Jerry
 and LaDonna were fortunate enough to travel significantly during their 
nearly 52 years of marriage. Perhaps the most memorable was a trip to 
India with First Love Ministries to visit the orphanages and girls that 
they supported. There they celebrated LaDonna’s birthday with multiple 
cakes and received a very special henna from the girls at one of the 
orphanages. LaDonna and Jerry were able to spend Valentine’s Day in 
Paris on the way home. LaDonna also traveled to Peru with Jerry to 
minister to the churches in the Amazon Rain Forest. In addition, they 
traveled to almost every state in the United States, Mexico, the 
Caribbean, the Bahamas, and Canada. In the summer of 2021, the immediate
 family spent a week in Branson, Missouri to celebrate their 50th 
wedding anniversary. This was something that LaDonna had wanted for some
 time and her family was thankful to see it happen. LaDonna and Jerry 
attended many Southern Gospel Concerts, the music of heaven, over the 
years with their favorites being the Spring and Fall Praisefest in 
Branson.

LaDonna was preceded in death by her parents 
Lester and Gladys (German) Johnson; brothers Arden Johnson (Berdine), 
and Dwayne Johnson (Shirley); and infant sister Glenda Johnson.&nbsp;She is 
survived by husband Jerry of Hill City, son Jamie and granddaughter 
Josselyn, of Lyndon; son Jared and spouse Nikki and granddaughters 
Kaela, Sophie, and Jozi of Hutchinson; and daughter Reverend Jolyn Mauck
 and husband Brandon and granddaughters Katie and Kamryn and grandson 
Kason, Hill City. Surviving siblings are sisters LaVonne Erickson of 
Breckenridge, Minnesota, Joan (Dan) McGraw of Cheyenne, Wyoming, Bonnie 
Voelsch of Watertown, South Dakota, Judy (Myron) Moen of Brookings, 
South Dakota, and Linda Halling of Watertown, South Dakota. Surviving 
brothers are Lonnie (Kathy) Johnson of Oneida, Wisconsin, and Donnie 
Johnson of Watertown, South Dakota.
