Mildred E. 'Millie' Werth

Frederic “Fred” or “Pop” Thomas Krebs Jr. was born 
November 8, 1936, to Frederic and Elsie (Leuschen) Krebs, in Columbus, 
Nebraska. Fred departed this life and met the Supreme Commander on 
Friday, October 28, 2022, at 85 years young. He graduated from Columbus 
High School in 1954. 

After graduation, he enlisted in the United State 
Marine Corps. After serving four years in the Marine Corps Fred attended 
college at the University of Colorado. While attending college he met 
Paula Hagan and on January 31, 1959, Fred was united in marriage to 
Paula. To this union, two children were born: Frederic “Fritz” Thomas IV 
and Margaret “Meg” Lyn. After separating from active duty in the Marine 
Corp Fred continued to be in the Marine Reserves and completed 37 years 
as a proud Marine however the Marine Corps was in his blood, so he joined
 the Marine Corps League upon his retirement from the Marine Reserves. 


Fred served in just about every office of the League including 
Detachment Commandant and always looked forward to the yearly 
convention. He traveled far and wide attending conventions. While 
serving in the Marine Reserves he became employed at Central Airlines as
 an International Customs Freight Agent. During his career of working in
 the airline industry he saw many changes which made him essentially 
employed by Frontier Airlines and Continental Airlines. After a long and
 successful career in the airline industry, he retired in 2001. 

Other 
than his children, sports were his passion. He decided to enjoy his 
retirement by following college and pro sports. If you needed or wanted a
 stat, then Pop was the man to call. If you wanted to know about Dorothy
 Lynch salad dressing or pretty much any history then Pop was the man to
 call or so sayeth his Granddaughter. If you needed a laugh, Pop was 
always a man with a witty comment or joke in just about every situation.
 The only time Pop could not pull your leg was when his pipe was in his 
mouth ― that pipe just could not stay still as he tried to stifle a 
giggle of his own.

Frederic “Fred” or “Pop” Thomas Krebs Jr. was born 
November 8, 1936, to Frederic and Elsie (Leuschen) Krebs, in Columbus, 
Nebraska. Fred departed this life and met the Supreme Commander on 
Friday, October 28, 2022, at 85 years young. He graduated from Columbus 
High School in 1954. After graduation, he enlisted in the United State 
Marine Corps. After serving four years in the Marine Corps Fred attended 
college at the University of Colorado. While attending college he met 
Paula Hagan and on January 31, 1959, Fred was united in marriage to 
Paula. To this union, two children were born: Frederic “Fritz” Thomas IV 
and Margaret “Meg” Lyn. After separating from active duty in the Marine 
Corp Fred continued to be in the Marine Reserves and completed 37 years 
as a proud Marine however the Marine Corps was in his blood, so he joined
 the Marine Corps League upon his retirement from the Marine Reserves. 
Fred served in just about every office of the League including 
Detachment Commandant and always looked forward to the yearly 
convention. He traveled far and wide attending conventions. While 
serving in the Marine Reserves he became employed at Central Airlines as
 an International Customs Freight Agent. During his career of working in
 the airline industry he saw many changes which made him essentially 
employed by Frontier Airlines and Continental Airlines. After a long and
 successful career in the airline industry, he retired in 2001. Other 
than his children, sports were his passion. He decided to enjoy his 
retirement by following college and pro sports. If you needed or wanted a
 stat, then Pop was the man to call. If you wanted to know about Dorothy
 Lynch salad dressing or pretty much any history then Pop was the man to
 call or so sayeth his Granddaughter. If you needed a laugh, Pop was 
always a man with a witty comment or joke in just about every situation.
 The only time Pop could not pull your leg was when his pipe was in his 
mouth ― that pipe just could not stay still as he tried to stifle a 
giggle of his own. 
Fred was preceded in death by his parents, Frederic and Elsie; his 
daughter Meg in 2022 and a granddaughter Jordyn Nichole in 2013. Those

Robert Eugene “Bob” Helmick, 75, of Atwood, died Friday, October 28, 
2022. He was born April 4, 1947, in Potomac Manor, WV to John W. and 
Georgia Helmick. Bob was the eldest of seven children. 

He grew up in the
 bituminous coal region of Western Pennsylvania. One day, he decided that
 he did not need to go to school anymore, and his dad did not argue. The
 next morning Bob was awakened by his dad, and they spent a day in the 
coal mines. The next day, Bob was back in school. He graduated from 
Waynesburg High School, Waynesburg, PA. 

After graduation, he entered the 
US Army and after serving 20, years, retired as a Master Sergeant. His 
Military Specialty was Infantry and Military Intelligence. Bob served 
one Combat tour in the Republic of Vietnam and 3 overseas tours in the 
Federal Republic of Germany. After his retirement from the military in 
October 1995, at Ft. Riley, Kansas, he went to work as a Civil Service 
employee with the Third ROTC Region as their Security Officer, 
responsible for initiating security background checks on all cadet 
personnel. In November 1992, he accepted an assignment to Fort Bragg, NC
 and moved the family to Hope Mills, NC. At Ft. Bragg he served as the 
Safety and Security Officer for the Directorate of Morale, Welfare and 
Recreation. He served in this capacity until his retirement in March 
2008. 

Bob and Cynthia always had a desire to move back to Kansas and in 
2010 decided to make the move back to Atwood, Kansas, Cynthia’s 
childhood home. Although never a farmer or exposed to small town life,&nbsp; Bob always had the utmost respect for the ways of small-town life in an 
agricultural community, especially his Pochop family, Frank, and 
Elizabeth, Anthony, Gerard, Becky, Kevin and Michael. Bob spent many 
summers driving the truck during the wheat harvest for his 
brother-in-law Mike Lundquist and also his father-in-law, Frank, and 
brother-in-law, Gerard. (If you know Mike or Becky Lundquist ask them 
about ol’ Blue). Bob also spent time helping Michael move irrigation 
pipe and ‘enjoyed’ an occasional drenching from this activity. Bob loved
 his family and spoke regularly with siblings and loved visits from the 
children and grandchildren. 
In November 1986 Bob married Cynthia Pochop; Bob and his family lovingly
 accepted her 3 daughters as their own. After returning to Atwood Bob 
drove the County Shuttle making many new friends until health issues 
forced him to stop. Despite limitations imposed by his health he did as 
much as he could to help Cynthia at home. The kitchen chairs had rolling
 casters and he was able to prepare meals and clean up afterwards as 
well. He was a good cook; chili and pasta dishes were his favorite and 
specialty. Late this summer he even juiced 15 gallons of apples so they 
could have fresh apple juice. 
Bob was preceded in death by his parents and brother, John Stephen 
Helmick. He is survived by his wife, Cynthia; daughters, Diana Gainey, 
of Fayetteville NC., Erin Pinero, of Colorado Springs and Catherine 
(Daniel) Vigil, also of Colorado Springs; grandchildren, Ezykiel Vigil, 
of Ft. Collins, CO, Gabriel Vigil, of Colorado Springs, Connor Pinero, 
currently stationed at Camp Humphreys in Korea, Kaitlyn Pinero, of 
Colorado Springs, and bonus granddaughter Savannah Karl, of Opelika , 
AL; sisters, Fay(Gary Thomas), of Jakes Run, WV, Judy (Jim Vaughn), of 
Pontotoc, MS, Pam Candela, of Morgantown, WV and Beverly Allen, also of 
Morgantown, and brother David Helmick, of Mt. Morris, PA. Bob was active
 in the Knights of Columbus, serving in various positions within the 
Council and District in the State of North Carolina; especially Special 
Olympics and also at Sacred Heart Church in Atwood, Kansas. He was also a
 member of the local VFW . 
Military honors include National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service 
Medal\ Bronze Stars, Vietnam Campaign Medal., Vietnam Cross of Gallantry
 W/Palm, Good Conduct Medal (6th award), Bronze Star Medal, Army Service
 Ribbon, Overseas Service Ribbon “3”, Army Commendation Medal, NCO 
Professional Development Ribbon “4”, and Expert (M-16) Rifle).

November 2, 2022, at Baalmann Mortuary, Atwood. Funeral Mass is 10:30

2010 decided to make the move back to Atwood, Kansas, Cynthia’s 
childhood home. Although never a farmer or exposed to small town life,&nbsp; Bob always had the utmost respect for the ways of small-town life in an 
agricultural community, especially his Pochop family, Frank, and 
Elizabeth, Anthony, Gerard, Becky, Kevin and Michael. Bob spent many 
summers driving the truck during the wheat harvest for his 
brother-in-law Mike Lundquist and also his father-in-law, Frank, and 
brother-in-law, Gerard. (If you know Mike or Becky Lundquist ask them 
about ol’ Blue). Bob also spent time helping Michael move irrigation 
pipe and ‘enjoyed’ an occasional drenching from this activity. Bob loved
 his family and spoke regularly with siblings and loved visits from the 
children and grandchildren. 
In November 1986 Bob married Cynthia Pochop; Bob and his family lovingly
 accepted her 3 daughters as their own. After returning to Atwood Bob 
drove the County Shuttle making many new friends until health issues 
forced him to stop. Despite limitations imposed by his health he did as 
much as he could to help Cynthia at home. The kitchen chairs had rolling
 casters and he was able to prepare meals and clean up afterwards as 
well. He was a good cook; chili and pasta dishes were his favorite and 
specialty. Late this summer he even juiced 15 gallons of apples so they 
could have fresh apple juice. 
Bob was preceded in death by his parents and brother, John Stephen 
Helmick. He is survived by his wife, Cynthia; daughters, Diana Gainey, 
of Fayetteville NC., Erin Pinero, of Colorado Springs and Catherine 
(Daniel) Vigil, also of Colorado Springs; grandchildren, Ezykiel Vigil, 
of Ft. Collins, CO, Gabriel Vigil, of Colorado Springs, Connor Pinero, 
currently stationed at Camp Humphreys in Korea, Kaitlyn Pinero, of 
Colorado Springs, and bonus granddaughter Savannah Karl, of Opelika , 
AL; sisters, Fay(Gary Thomas), of Jakes Run, WV, Judy (Jim Vaughn), of 
Pontotoc, MS, Pam Candela, of Morgantown, WV and Beverly Allen, also of 
Morgantown, and brother David Helmick, of Mt. Morris, PA. Bob was active
 in the Knights of Columbus, serving in various positions within the 
Council and District in the State of North Carolina; especially Special 
Olympics and also at Sacred Heart Church in Atwood, Kansas. He was also a
 member of the local VFW . 
Military honors include National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service 
Medal\ Bronze Stars, Vietnam Campaign Medal., Vietnam Cross of Gallantry
 W/Palm, Good Conduct Medal (6th award), Bronze Star Medal, Army Service
 Ribbon, Overseas Service Ribbon “3”, Army Commendation Medal, NCO

Treva L. McCandless, age 96, passed peacefully on Thursday, October 
27, 2022, at the Palisades at Broadmoor Park in Colorado Springs, 
Colorado with her daughter, son, and daughter-in-law at her side.&nbsp; Treva
 was born on September 29, 1926, in Emporia, Kansas, to Lyman Mallary and 
Arlene Loveland. &nbsp;

After graduating Emporia High School, Treva and three friends 
traveled to Wichita, having been recruited by Being in the War effort. 
She enjoyed telling of her time as a rivet chaser and typist at Boeing.

After Boeing, Treva worked at the Emporia Gazette where William Allen
 White was editor. Working as a proofreader, Treva had a sharp eye for 
errors, which continued through her life.

Treva attended Kansas State Teachers College in Emporia, and it was here where Treva met Robert McCandless, in Composition and Rhetoric class. 
Although Robert turned her down when Treva asked him for a date, he 
later asked her out, saying "do you remember?"

She certainly did. Robert and Treva were married in 1948.&nbsp; After 
marriage, Robert and Treva began farm life in Lebo, Kansas, and farmed 
until 1961, when they purchased the Airliner Motel in Scott City. Treva 
loved living in Scott City and belonging to the United Methodist Church 
where she made many friends in the Women's Society and was active 
helping with dinners and bazaars and attending Sunday School. Treva was 
also active in the High Plains Study Club, enjoying field trips, 
fellowship and coming up with the 'creative answers to be given during 
roll call.

After managing the Airliner Motel for 20 years, Robert and Treva retired in 1981.

They purchased a townhouse in Colorado Springs and took frequent get 
away trips to the mountains. Treva said they had the best of two worlds,
 watching grandchildren grow up in both Kansas and Colorado.

Following Robert's death in 2010, Treva remained in Scott City until 
2016 when she moved to Colorado Springs to be closer to her daughter and
 family. She lived at the Palisades retirement community until her 
passing.

Treva was a fierce Yahtzee player, an avid reader, and Jumble puzzle 
lover. Her more recent days were highlighted by watching Jeopardy and 
she was delighted if family members would sit and watch with her. She 
loved her family, praying for them each night and sharing wisdom with 
them during hard times.

Treva is survived by her son Mark (Suzanne), daughter Kim (Barry): six grandchildren, Leslie (Brad), Marie (Shawn), Laura, Hilary (Jake), Emily (Miles), 
and Thomas; and eight great-grandchildren, Mallory, Nate, Abby, Simon, 
Huxley, Asher, Theo, and Arthur.

Services are pending with Price &amp; Sons Funeral Home.

In Lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to United 
Methodist Church of Scott City in care of Price &amp; Sons Funeral Home,
 PO Box 553, Scott City, Kansas, 67871.
