Lorraine Mae (Appl) Heronemus, age 93, passed away on August 25, 
2022, at the Wichita County Health Center in Leoti, Kansas surrounded by
 her family. Lorraine was born on December 29, 1928, on the Appl farm 
homestead south of Leoti to Frank and Hester (Wagner) Appl; their 
oldest child.

Lorraine was a life long member of the Leoti Community. She attended 
the Grand Prairie school 5 miles from her home with her cousin Dale, 
often driven by her Aunt Violet Appl. She graduated from the 8th grade, 
but later got her High School GED by mail.

had to rebuild their farm &amp; House on the Homestead. Harold passed 
away on May 21, 2018.

Lorraine loved her chickens and garden - you would never find a weed 
in her garden. She was a member of the NRA Golden Eagles and the VFW 
Women’s Auxiliary. She loved going to auctions with her husband and 
collected antiques, coins, and guns. She was passionate about guns and 
was an excellent shot. She also had an interest in writing poetry and 
was even once published.

Family was important to Lorraine and Harold. They attended all the activities and sports of their children and grandchildren.

Survivors include her children Dan &amp; Cuma Heronemus of Wichita,

Victoria, Kansas, Randy &amp; Marsha Heronemus of Leoti, Kansas,

Korbin Ray Tinkel

Carolyn Nan Tyrrell Lundin&nbsp; December 12th 1947- August 20th 2022&nbsp;

Born to Charles “Chuck” and Denelda Tyrrell in Goodland, Kansas.&nbsp;&nbsp;

As a child, she attended school in Goodland, while in school she loved
 playing piano, being a baton twirler, and playing in the band. She 
graduated from Sherman County Highschool in 1965. She had met the love 
of her life, Dale Lundin while in school. When they met, Dale told his 
friend “I’m going to marry that girl someday,” and that very next year 
they were married on June 27th, 1965. They spent 57 wonderful years 
together.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Dale and Carolyn spent many happy years with friends riding mopeds, 
going to the lake, and cruising around with friends. Together they lived
 in Goodland, Colby, and Salina, Kansas.&nbsp;

In 1966, they welcomed their oldest daughter Kindra “Kindi,” and in 
1969 they welcomed their second daughter Traci. Carolyn was then a 
stay-at-home mom where she opened an in-home daycare. She was also an 
amazing seamstress. She made many of her daughter’s outfits, prom 
dresses, and even their wedding dresses. When her children were in 
school full time in 1978, she went to work at Anchor Savings Association
 Bank and that was the beginning of a 43-year banking career, until she 
retired in 2021. She loved meeting new people and was always known for 
her kind smile and her contagious laugh.&nbsp;

Once Carolyn became a grandmother, she was from then on referred to 
as “Nana”. Nana loved spending time with her 5 Grandchildren. She was 
also very&nbsp;excited for her new Great Grandson due in November. She went 
to all of her Grandchildren and Great-Grandchildren’s events and she 
loved to cheer them all on no matter what they decided to do. She was 
always the holiday planner with the best foods and silly games. Nana was
 known for her popcorn balls, pumpkin bread, broccoli cheese soup, and 
her famous fried chicken and mashed potatoes. She also loved to laugh, 
mostly at Dale’s expense. It never mattered to Nana what the 
conversation was as long as her family was together. She loved her 
family more than anything in the world and would do anything for them. 
She was the best “Nana” anyone could ask for. She never missed an 
occasion, a birthday, an anniversary, you name it, there was always a 
card that read “Love you bunches, Nana and Papa."

Later in life, Nana loved to watch baseball and football, she loved 
the Royals and the Chiefs, unless the Broncos were playing, then she 
rooted for them, because, let’s face it, the Chiefs??? Her family loved 
her despite her and Dale’s choice of football team. She loved to play 
cards with the other women “her homies” as she referred to them as, that
 lived near her in Salina in their cul-de-sac. She also loved to 
facetime and snapchat with her long-distance family. Nana was always an 
avid animal lover. She loved all of the family’s pets and with her calm 
and loving demeanor they all loved her back.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Nana was preceded in death by her parents Charles “Chuck” and Denelda
 Tyrrell, Son in Law Lyn Gurtner, Daughter Traci Gurtner, and 2 
Grandchildren, Bryce and Katelyn Farmer. &nbsp;

She is survived by her Husband Dale Lundin of Goodland KS, Daughter 
Kindra “Kindi” (Chris) Bauman, 5 Grandchildren, Amanda Gurtner, Tanner 
(Ashley) Gurtner, Jessica (Zach) Lohr, Lindsay (Steven) Mendoza, Tanzia 
(May) Wilson, 8 Great-Grandchildren- Dominic and NovaLyn VanBrimmer, 
Landon Vernon and Henry Gurtner, Alivia and Liam Lohr, Baby “N” Mendoza 
due to arrive November 2022, and SparrowLyn and Raven Wilson. &nbsp;

A private family celebration of life is planned at a later date.

Donations to Eastern Plains Animal Welfare Alliance (EPAWA) or&nbsp;NWKS Animal Shelter may be sent to Koons-Russell Funeral Home, 211 N. Main Ave., Goodland KS 67735.

 </figure>Carolyn Nan Tyrrell Lundin&nbsp; December 12th 1947- August 20th 2022&nbsp;Born to Charles “Chuck” and Denelda Tyrrell in Goodland, Kansas.&nbsp;&nbsp;As a child, she attended school in Goodland, while in school she loved
 playing piano, being a baton twirler, and playing in the band. She 
graduated from Sherman County Highschool in 1965. She had met the love 
of her life, Dale Lundin while in school. When they met, Dale told his 
friend “I’m going to marry that girl someday,” and that very next year 
they were married on June 27th, 1965. They spent 57 wonderful years 
together.&nbsp;&nbsp;Dale and Carolyn spent many happy years with friends riding mopeds, 
going to the lake, and cruising around with friends. Together they lived
 in Goodland, Colby, and Salina, Kansas.&nbsp;In 1966, they welcomed their oldest daughter Kindra “Kindi,” and in 
1969 they welcomed their second daughter Traci. Carolyn was then a 
stay-at-home mom where she opened an in-home daycare. She was also an 
amazing seamstress. She made many of her daughter’s outfits, prom 
dresses, and even their wedding dresses. When her children were in 
school full time in 1978, she went to work at Anchor Savings Association
 Bank and that was the beginning of a 43-year banking career, until she 
retired in 2021. She loved meeting new people and was always known for 
her kind smile and her contagious laugh.&nbsp;Once Carolyn became a grandmother, she was from then on referred to 
as “Nana”. Nana loved spending time with her 5 Grandchildren. She was 
also very&nbsp;excited for her new Great Grandson due in November. She went

She graduated from Baker County School District 12 in 1943 and from Osborne High School in 1947. She married her high school sweetheart, Franklin Eugene “Gene” Thornburg on Sept 12, 1948—her 19th birthday. 

They resided in Osborne until November 1959 when they moved to a farm southwest of Alton where they raised three children, Jeannie Renee (Steve) Ricard, Todd Eugene (Jill) Thornburg, and Janet Rae (Bernie) Schulte.

Two great grandchildren &amp; two step great grandchildren complete their family.
 Imogene went to be with Jesus on August 19th. She resided on the family farm as long as she could before moving to Progressive Care in Alton and later to Parkview in Osborne. She missed the farm and the Alton community and longed to be there. She was known for her love of family and community. She was an avid supporter at athletic &amp; school events, served as treasure on many clubs and organizations, sent hundreds of greeting cards, and was always ready to mix up a batch of her famous chocolate chip cookies and Rice Krispy treats.
 Imogene was a member of the Pleasant Plains United Methodist Church, UMW, Alton Pride, a 4-year instructor for a Menninger Bible course on the Life of Christ, Mt. Ayr Camp Meeting Board, Sumner 4-H Club Leader, Osborne County FSA committee advisor, and Eastern Star, serving as the past matron.
