Jerald “Jerry” Burkhart, 87, of Gothenburg, Nebraska, died on January
 20, 2023 at Gothenburg Health. Jerry was born to Jerome and Agnes 
Burkhart at his grandmother’s home in rural, southwest Kansas.

&nbsp;Jerry grew up in southwest Kansas on a farm and remembered a little 
about the dirty '30s and how hard they were on his family. As a kid, he 
helped his family in the butcher shop and took great pride in that. In 
high school, he drew up a house plan in his shop and mechanical drawing 
class, and his teacher later used those drawings to design and build a 
house in Lyons, Kansas. Jerry raised his 4 children with his first wife,
 Ruth Burkhart, in Dodge City, KS and enjoyed his 30 years as a Coors 
Beer distributor. He never took a sick day in all those years. After his
 divorce, Jerry was introduced to his second wife, Pat through mutual 
friends. They hit it off and the rest was history! They enjoyed spending
 time with friends and family, cruises, cooking together, time on the 
beach and spoiling their dog, Snow. Jerry loved blessing his friends and
 neighbors with his homemade chocolate cake. Jerry was an amazing wood 
craftsman and was published in the national magazine, Wood. He has 
beautiful cutting boards all over America! He also loved to play 
horseshoes and even competed with some other men from Port Orange, FL in
 a state competition where they earned 3rd place! Jerry loved people and
 used his beer route, skills and even time in the hospital to connect 
with others. He was quick to make friends over a Diet Coke and a good 
story.

&nbsp;Jerry is survived by his daughter, Theresa Demoret,&nbsp;of Gothenburg, 
Nebraska; step-children, James Flagg and wife, Lisa of Salem, Illinois, 
Jeffrey Flagg, Sr. and wife, Lyn Kane of Crystal Lake, Illinois, and

Douglas Dean Helton

Laura Ann Cranston Dow "Ann" was born July 10th, 1935, in Ness City, 
Kansas, during the great Dust Bowl era. “As a little girl, I spent lots 
of time with my Grandparents on the farm. They took me to church 
socials, Grange dances, riding on the tractor, riding my pony Bill – he 
lived to be 25 years old and Grandma Emma cooked oatmeal for him so he 
could eat with no teeth!”

She helped her “Daddy” and Grandpa George drive cattle from the farm 
to the Ness City rail yards. Grandpa would always have a quarter or 
fifty cent piece he would slip her. “We were great buddies and me so 
very spoiled.”

As she got older The War broke out; she helped her family rolling 
bandages for the Red Cross, supporting Savings Bond drives in town, 
rationing sugar and gasoline. She played clarinet and piano, sang in the
 chorus, taught Sunday school, and loved being in plays and doing public
 readings.

She graduated High School in 1953 and moved to Nevada, Mo., where she 
met Richard "Dick" Dow, who was attending Wentworth Military College. 
“He was an honor graduate and such a wonderful person.” They were 
married August 14th 1954. Dick was sworn into the Army Infantry and off 
they went to see the world. Together they would live in Georgia, 
Washington, Germany, Texas, and Oregon. During these moves they had 
their “three little ones” Nancy, Jim, and Susie.

After moving to Bothell Washington, in September 1971 Dick passed 
away, unexpectedly. “those years are hard for me to write much about. My
 three children Nancy, Jim and Susie were my guiding lights and all did 
so well. I am so very proud of all three.” Grandma Hazel (Nama) moved 
back from Kansas to help. “She was such a valuable and loved part of our
 life.”

Ann would later move to Hood River Oregon where she was the 
neighborhood gathering spot for her grandchildren and their friends, 
everyone referred to her as ‘Grandma Ann’. She always had a snack in her
 sweet drawer, bacon for breakfast, and beautiful flowering peonies in 
the summer. Ann single handedly helped local businesses stay afloat with
 her devotion to various bakeries, clothing and shoe stores and of 
course, Dickeys Farms. Ann was an avid gardener, gifted with a green 
thumb, she was a life-long member of the PTO sisterhood and volunteered 
at Providence hospital for many years.

She leaves behind three children, six grandchildren, and seven great grandchildren.

“My three dearest kids Nancy, Jim, and Susie have been the occasion 
of great joy to me over the years. They are very special and gifted kids
 as are my grandkids and I am so very proud of each of you! I am sure 
all the relatives that have gone on before are just as proud of all of 
you as I am. Take care dear ones.”

Inurnment will be on February 6, 2023, at 11:00 a.m. in the Ness City Cemetery.

Words of comfort and support may be left for the family by signing the guestbook.

Mary Ann (Herber) Steinle passed away peacefully on January 19, 
2023.   She was born on June 23, 1942, to Lester and Sara Mae (Washburn)
 Herber in Hays, KS.   She married Richard Steinle on February 2, 1963. 
 They were blessed with two children: Brent and Tonya.

Mary
 Ann graduated from Dorrance High School and went on to study at Fort 
Hays University.  She was a little bit farmer, a little bit rancher, and
 a little bit oilman.  She had a large heart full of love for her family
 and her pets.  She loved the peaceful life on the farm. However, she 
also possessed a great adventurous spirit and had done solo trips to 
perform volunteer service at an orphanage and to hike the Inca Trail in 
Peru, to visit the jungles of Costa Rica, to perform volunteer work at 
elephant sanctuaries in Asia, as well as to sightsee various European 
countries.

Mary Ann possessed a wondrous singing voice 
that elevated spirits at many church and memorial services. However, 
while performing chores on her farm, she would almost always have good 
old blues blasting from her phone speaker.

Mary Ann is 
survived by her husband Richard of Dorrance/Russell; her children, Brent
 Steinle (Tiffany) of Ankeny, IA and Tonya Buehler (Ken) of Dorrance; 
and four grandchildren, Kari Eidenmueller (Andy), Adam Buehler, Sydney 
Steinle, and Austin Steinle.

She is preceded in death 
by her parents, Lester and Sara Mae Herber; her brother, Richard Herber;
 and beloved nephew Rick Herber.

Per her specific 
wishes, there will be no memorial service at this time.  The family will
 be holding a celebration of her life at a later date.

Memorials can be given in Mary Ann's name to First Lutheran Church Air Conditioning Fund, Box 24, Dorrance, Kansas 67634.

learned during his career in the Air Force helped him restore many boats
 and cars for friends. Kenny studied Moral Psychology and Fire Science, 
earning a degree from Hutchinson Community College in Criminal Justice 
and later became a firearms instructor that believed every child should 
learn gun respect and safety. Ken loved his job as the State of Kansas

spending time with his family. Kenny was known for his “truckers 
gardens” and Master Gardening skills he learned as a small child helping
