Elisabeth Anne (White) Brinlee McGinley, age 84, passed away January 1st, 2022, at Clara Barton Hospital, Hoisington, Kansas.

Mother, known to all of us as “Annie” was born August 21, 1937, in 
Biggleswade, England to her parents Cecil &amp; Sylvia (Thynne) White.&nbsp;

She was the youngest of their four children and enjoyed her childhood
 growing up at “Elm Cottage” their farm outside of town. Her father had 
his own Tailoring shop in Biggleswade where he made suits for the elite.
 Mother’s life took a turn of grief when her father died in an accident 
when she was a young girl.

Anne graduated from High School and soon found a position caring for 
preschool children. One day, her best friends asked her to go with her 
on a blind date with a couple of Americans from the local U.S. Air Force
 base. She went on the date and two years later flew to America to marry
 Lewis L. Brinlee at the Methodist Church in Florence Colorado on March 
29th, 1958.

To this union was born four children, Kristopher Kevin, Keri Mason, 
Kwin Lewis and Kele Anne Margrett. The family lived in Pueblo, Florence 
and eventually settled in Denver, Colorado. Lewis injured his back while
 working as a truck driver, causing him to be permanently disabled. The 
family then moved to Akron, Colorado to be closer to relatives a few 
years later.

My mother was a great caregiver. She took good care of her children 
and her injured husband who passed away after 13 years of disability. 
Still a young woman she was now a widow, but love returned to her life 
when she met Michael P. McGinley. They were married in 1979 and the 
family increased in size with the addition of Mike’s three sons, 
Michael, Mark, and Jeff McGinley. Mike and mom were happily married for 
25 years. Mike passed away in 2005 at the age of 70.

Mother lived in Denver for many more years until she made her move to
 Hoisington, Kansas to live closer to her adult children. She was a 
member of the First United Methodist Church of Hoisington, attended 
weekly lady’s bible studies, and was always a great help serving meals 
for church and funeral dinners. Mother knew no strangers. She loved 
meeting new people and made many friends in the Hoisington community.

Mom loved to paint. Her favorite pastime was being a paint by number 
artist. She loved to cook, especially pies. And she diligently cared for
 her beautiful flowers in the yard.

Mother always wanted to stay busy and generally it was being busy 
doing something for someone else. She loved on her family and her 
friends daily. Her affectionate actions expressed her love for us all. 
She loved beyond what words could say.

Anne was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Derek and wife
 Kath, her sister Vivian and husband Bob Gale, and brother-in-law John 
Holley, son, Kwin Lewis Brinlee, daughter-in-law Peggy Brinlee and 
granddaughter Kirsten Anne Phillips.

She leaves to mourn her passing a sister Peg Holley, her sons, Kris 
Brinlee wife Jean, and Keri Brinlee, daughter Kele Anne (Brinlee) 
Temple, sons Michael McGinley, Mark McGinley, and Jeff McGinley, and 
Kwin’s wife Randy.

She had numerous nieces and nephews. Ten grandchildren, nine great grandchildren. And an abundance of good friends.

Mom’s adoring, sacrificial love for us all will be dearly missed.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held at First United Methodist 
Church in Hoisington, KS. on Friday, January 21, 2022, at 11:00 am. 
Pastor Chris Lehew will officiate with Pastor Kris Brinlee.

Memorial contributions can be made to the Anne McGinley Expense Fund 
or the First United Methodist Church of Hoisington in care of 
Nicholson-Ricke Funeral Home, P.O. Box 146, Hoisington, KS 67544

September 19, 1931- January 8, 2022

Priscilla Ruth (Pat) Paschal Sumearll was born in Osborne County, Kansas to Walter and Eva Paschal, joining older siblings Vincent, Jean and William.

Pat, as she was known since childhood, grew up on the family farm approximately 5 miles north and 3 miles east of Waldo, Kansas. Like so many families during that time, the Paschals struggled through the Depression and the Dust Bowl. Pat recalled the rope that was stretched between the farmhouse and the barn so Walter wouldn’t get lost in the dust storms when he went to care for the cattle.

The family was forced to leave their farm because of the harsh economic and environmental conditions and moved to Nebraska where Walter hired on to a farmer there for nearly 2 years. Pat always described those years as the happiest of her young life because she finally had enough to eat.

The family eventually reacquired their farm with the assistance of New Deal programs, and were able to return to the land they had worked so hard for.

As World War 2 began for the United States both of her brothers joined in the effort and sister Jean left the farm, leaving Pat to help her parents on the farm. While Pat was always rightfully proud of her brothers and sister, she had her own small contribution to the history of stateside patriotism. When news came over the radio that the war in Europe had ended, she and her father went to the Vincent church and rang the steeple bell to let the neighbors know that the crisis was nearly over. Pat was just one of so many who made a contribution to keeping this country unified in a shared belief that we all need to care for each other, no matter what the challenges are. Pat, with her tiny frame, always stood for caring, compassion and community against the forces of hate, ignorance and intolerance.

Even before her graduation from high school, Pat set her sights on a career in nursing. Inspired by a cut out picture of Florence Nightingale in her bedroom, she was driven by a need to care for others. Over the objections on her father, who valued education highly but worried that nursing would expose her to “bad situations”, Pat forged ahead towards what was her life’s mission.

Her innate stubbornness won out over Walter’s worry and she began her nursing studies. Confronting her lack of science courses in high school, she tackled her greatest nemesis, Chemistry, and wrestled it into submission by sheer will power, hard work and rote memorization. Because she wanted to be a nurse.

Nursing was Pat’s calling, her passion, and her life. She met her future husband, Ivan Sumearll, while she was doing a rotation at the hospital where Ivan was rehabilitating from the devastating effects of a virus, poliomyelitis.

After graduating from nursing school, Pat and Ivan married, first settling in Salina where Pat worked at the hospital and Ivan worked for a local jeweler. Striking out on their own, they chose Plainville, Kansas in 1955 as their home. Plainville had no jeweler and a new hospital had just been built.

Pat and Ivan immediately became deeply involved in the community as civic boosters and community health champions, always believing that citizens had an obligation to their friends and neighbors to promote local business development and community wide health.

Pat’s contributions to the Rooks County community were enormous. Conducting birthing classes in her home and encouraging community wide vaccinations to control the raging viruses of the day such as polio and smallpox were just two of her many efforts for community health.

Pat enjoyed all aspects of nursing and was proud of being one of the first nurses at what would become Rooks County Health Center. She was always proud to assist or scrub for the incredible group of young doctors that were working in Rooks County at the time, heroes of healthcare in this region such as Pederson, Page, Mauck and Votopka as well as the specialists who came in.

But Pat’s true love, true calling to nursing was labor and delivery. She took great pride in seeing new mothers through the labor and delivery process. From teaching and coaching to actual delivery, Pat helped hundreds of Rooks County babies into the world while supporting and comforting their mothers.

Pat also had an incredibly accurate memory even in her aging decline about each birth that she assisted in, perhaps a little too accurate, when she would recount some interesting if not outright hilarious moments that happened during delivery. Ladies, you know who you are.

In her later years, even as dementia was taking its toll, she could recall specific moments of a mother’s delivery. She might not recognize the mother’s name but she could remember in exact and sometimes embarrassing detail, specifics about the delivery.

She was a hard working nurse committed to the health of this community. We could all benefit by following her example.

Pat was preceded in death by her parents, Walter and Eva Paschal, and her siblings Vincent, Jeanne and William.

She is survived by her children Brian, Eric, Mark, Joel and Craig, grandchildren Danica, Brant, Jake and Kasey, and great-grandchildren Adelyn, Brantley, Emily and Kent.

The family would like to thank so many in the Rooks County community who watched over and looked after Pat.&nbsp;

A small family burial service will be held shortly, with a celebration of life later when it is safe to hold one.

Pat walked thousands of miles through hospital halls, comforted thousands of your neighbors, and welcomed hundreds of precious babies into the region. Her tiny, determined frame stood tall for comfort and health and community, and against pain, selfishness and ignorance.

If you wish to honor Pat with a memorial, contributions are suggested to Rooks County Health Center for the nursing department in care of Rooks County Healthcare Foundation.

Pat loved flowers and was a proud Kansan. If you want to buy flowers for yourself or one of your loved ones, she loved lavender……and sunflowers.

Plainville had no jeweler and a new hospital had just been built.Pat and Ivan immediately became deeply involved in the community as civic boosters and community health champions, always believing that citizens had an obligation to their friends and neighbors to promote local business development and community wide health.Pat’s contributions to the Rooks County community were enormous. Conducting birthing classes in her home and encouraging community wide vaccinations to control the raging viruses of the day such as polio and smallpox were just two of her many efforts for community health.Pat enjoyed all aspects of nursing and was proud of being one of the first nurses at what would become Rooks County Health Center. She was always proud to assist or scrub for the incredible group of young doctors that were working in Rooks County at the time, heroes of healthcare in this region such as Pederson, Page, Mauck and Votopka as well as the specialists who came in.But Pat’s true love, true calling to nursing was labor and delivery. She took great pride in seeing new mothers through the labor and delivery process. From teaching and coaching to actual delivery, Pat helped hundreds of Rooks County babies into the world while supporting and comforting their mothers.Pat also had an incredibly accurate memory even in her aging decline about each birth that she assisted in, perhaps a little too accurate, when she would recount some interesting if not outright hilarious moments that happened during delivery. Ladies, you know who you are.In her later years, even as dementia was taking its toll, she could recall specific moments of a mother’s delivery. She might not recognize the mother’s name but she could remember in exact and sometimes embarrassing detail, specifics about the delivery.She was a hard working nurse committed to the health of this community. We could all benefit by following her example.Pat was preceded in death by her parents, Walter and Eva Paschal, and her siblings Vincent, Jeanne and William.She is survived by her children Brian, Eric, Mark, Joel and Craig, grandchildren Danica, Brant, Jake and Kasey, and great-grandchildren Adelyn, Brantley, Emily and Kent.The family would like to thank so many in the Rooks County community who watched over and looked after Pat.&nbsp;A small family burial service will be held shortly, with a celebration of life later when it is safe to hold one.Pat walked thousands of miles through hospital halls, comforted thousands of your neighbors, and welcomed hundreds of precious babies into the region. Her tiny, determined frame stood tall for comfort and health and community, and against pain, selfishness and ignorance.&nbsp;Rest in peace, Nurse Pat.Services are pending.If you wish to honor Pat with a memorial, contributions are suggested to Rooks County Health Center for the nursing department in care of Rooks County Healthcare Foundation.Pat loved flowers and was a proud Kansan. If you want to buy flowers for yourself or one of your loved ones, she loved lavender……and sunflowers.Plumer-Overlease Funeral Home is handling arrangements.&nbsp;

Lillian Marie (Sander) Dreiling

Briggs MacRae Dorian-Lawrence died Wednesday, January 5, 2022.&nbsp;&nbsp;He 
was 19 years old.&nbsp;&nbsp;He came into this world at 11 lbs 8 ounces and left 
this world standing at 6’5”.

Briggs left home at 7:00 a.m. Wednesday morning en route to Center 
for Change.&nbsp;&nbsp;Where he was excited to participate in outpatient treatment
 for his eating disorder.&nbsp;&nbsp;At 7:40 a.m. in Spanish Fork Canyon (Utah) he
 drifted over the center line into oncoming traffic, colliding head on 
with a truck (auto truck trailer).&nbsp;&nbsp;He died instantly.

Briggs was born on April 30, 2002 in Edmonds, Washington.&nbsp;&nbsp;He and his
 mother moved to Lawrence, KS in 2007 (his father arrived soon after) 
where he attended Raintree Montessori School for seven plus years.&nbsp;&nbsp;In 
2015 he and his mother moved to Mount Pleasant, Utah where Briggs 
attended 8th grade at Wasatch Academy Middle School (WAMS).
 &nbsp;&nbsp;They moved to Atlanta in July of 2016.&nbsp;&nbsp;Briggs attended his freshman 
year at Riverwood International Charter School, he spent his sophomore 
and junior years at the Lovett School.&nbsp;&nbsp;After the death of his Aunt Pam 
(Dorian) Campbell, Briggs and his mother returned to Mount Pleasant 
where Briggs spent his senior year.&nbsp;&nbsp;Briggs graduated with the Wasatch 
Academy class of 2020.&nbsp;&nbsp;In August of the same year, Briggs began his 
journey at Rochester Institute of Technology with what he called “his 
people” in Rochester, NY.&nbsp;&nbsp;He was a second year student at RIT at the 
time of his death.

Like his parents, Briggs had an interest in, and talent for, 
music.&nbsp;&nbsp;He began playing the viola in fourth grade where he performed 
with the Spring Hill (KS) Orchestras.&nbsp;&nbsp;Music was always a large part of 
his life.&nbsp;&nbsp;He had enjoyed many accomplishments on the viola.&nbsp;&nbsp;Some 
highlights of his musical career include mentoring and coaching for the 
String Orchestra of Decatur and Atlanta (SODA), six years of wonderful 
experiences at the High Plains Music Camp at Fort Hays State University 
in Hays, KS, playing the Messiah in December 2021 at Snow College 
(Utah), and his final performance, with the Dorian String Quartet this 
past Christmas Eve with Claudia, Graham, and his mother Sarah.&nbsp;&nbsp;In 
addition to the viola, Briggs was an avid composer of string music and 
creating and performing digital music.

Briggs’s profound passion for computer science, programming and 
gaming, was beyond a deep passion, it inspired his days.&nbsp;&nbsp;Briggs was a 
virtuosic digital native. He had an astonishing comprehension of all 
things computers and was fluent in numerous programming 
languages.&nbsp;&nbsp;These passions culminated in the creation of his own 
(computer) server, in his attendance at RIT, and his prized and 
cherished 2021 summer IT internship at Boulevard Brewing Company (Kansas
 City, MO).

Much like his granddad Jim, Briggs had the ability to see the world 
in multiple dimensions and with a surprising level of detail. He made 
friends and connections with both the young and the old due to his 
engaging personality, his deep curiosity and his passion for 
life.&nbsp;&nbsp;Briggs was well traveled, he made his home in many different 
communities, and the outpouring of love that we are now receiving is a 
testament to the impact he had on us all.

His Funeral Service will be held at 3:30 pm, Monday, January 10th, in
 the Music Conservatory at Wasatch Academy (at the corner of 100 South 
and 100 West, the former Presbyterian Church).&nbsp;&nbsp;The service will be 
available for streaming.&nbsp;&nbsp;His Celebration of Life will be held on his 
birthday, at 2 pm, Saturday, April 30th, 2022 at St Patrick’s Episcopal 
Church in Pagosa Springs, Colorado, where his ashes will be laid.

In lieu of flowers the family would appreciate a donation in Briggs’s
 name to causes dear to Briggs’s heart; including any free and open 
source&nbsp;software organization, JDRF, the Humane Society (examples of 
links include:&nbsp;<a href="http://opencollective.com/" target="_blank">opencollective.com</a>, JDRF.org, HumanSociety.org).

Briggs is survived by his mother, Sarah Dorian (of Mount Pleasant, 
UT), and his father, Blue Lawrence (of Shawnee, KS) and his brother 
Austen Julka-Lawrence (30) of Renton, WA, his beloved Bengal cats Hugo 
and Rosie.&nbsp;&nbsp;His Aunt Marjorie (Dorian) Adair (Kansas City, MO), her 
husband Jeff and their children Tess (20) and James (15).&nbsp;&nbsp;His Uncle 
Graham Dorian (Atlanta, GA), his wife Jennifer and their daughters 
Claudia (20) and Rebecca (18).&nbsp;&nbsp;His Uncle Ted Campbell (North Kansas 
City, MO), and their children George, Sam, and Caroline.&nbsp;&nbsp;His Aunt Deb 
Lawrence (Indianapolis, IN).&nbsp;&nbsp;His Grandparents James and Rebecca Dorian 
(Pagosa Springs, CO) and JD and Lois Lawrence (Indianapolis, 
IN).&nbsp;&nbsp;Briggs was preceded in death by his cousin Alyssa Joy Campbell and
 his Aunt Pamela (Dorian) Campbell.
