Ronald N. Haney, 85, joined his mother and father in heaven on 
Tuesday, Dec. 21, 2021, at Leisure Homestead in Stafford. Ronald
 was born on Sept. 20, 1936, in Hutchinson, the son of Phillip 
and Lenora Cole Haney. Ron grew up in Stafford County moving to Colby, when he was 10 developing a love of sports.

During junior high and high school, Ron played all sports Colby had 
to offer. He played football while in college at K-State, with his 
senior year at Fort Hays State. Ron graduated from Fort Hays with a 
double major in biology and health and recreation. Ron and Ramona Cayton
 met on the Fort Hays campus. Ramona needed a ride back to Thomas County
 and a year later on Aug. 3, 1958, they were married in Colby.

After college, he taught school and coached various sports for 12 
years. He taught at Herndon, Selden, Sharon Springs and Brewster.&nbsp; In 
1972 Ron and their family moved to Garden City, where he worked for 
Lee construction. He continued his love for sports by being an avid GCCC
 Bronc Buster fan. He encouraged all his children to try their hardest 
and give all sports a chance. His passion for creating beautiful works 
of art out of wood led him to be a life member of the Wood Carvers of 
America group and created a new position at Lee Construction as a 
pattern maker. Later working as a chief pattern maker for AcraPlant.

Along with sports and wood carving, animals were a lifelong passion. 
Ron spent many years with the Garden City Kennel Club. His retirement 
was used driving for Kansas SRS, taking patients all over the state.

Ron spent his final evening watching his grandson coach the Stafford 
High School boys’ basketball team's victory over the Pretty Prairie 
boys. His grandparents and family lived in Pretty Prairie most of their 
lives. We are comforted by the thought that his last night was spent 
enjoying sports and family.

Ron is survived by his wife of 63 years, Ramona Haney of Garden City.
 Son, Rod Haney, and wife Jeanette of Burden. Three daughters, Renee and
 husband Rex Slover of Murphy, Texas, Rochelle and husband JC Smith of

Judy Anne Davis

Richard Lee Shimanek, 84, of Leoti, passed away tragically on Dec. 16, 2021 from injuries he incurred while trying to save his house and farm from a prairie fire.

Richard was born and raised on a wheat farm near Hennessey, Okla., where he lived with his eight siblings and learned the value of hard work. He played football for Hennessey High School where he was an all-conference guard and carried on his school spirit by teaching the school fight song to his kids and grandkids.

He was drafted into the United States Army and served as a radio operator and was chosen to be on the rifle team. Richard worked multiple jobs in the oil and gas business and custom harvested for 19 years.

He married his beautiful bride Mary Peggy Brenny on Nov. 26, 1964 at St Joseph’s in Hennessey, Okla. Richard and Mary Peggy settled in Kansas where they dedicated Richard’s last 44 years to raising a family and farming.

Richard had an infectious smile and laugh. He talked to everyone he encountered (sometimes in Czech). He loved his family and friends fiercely and would travel many hours to be near them. He was a great storyteller, hard worker and was always fixing something. His generous heart was always reaching out to those in need, even if it was a stranger on a street corner.

He loved elk hunting and trout fishing in Colorado and spent many summers camping and boating with his family. Richard was a Wichita County Commissioner, baseball coach, 4-H tractor instructor and avid gun collector.

Richard is survived by his wife Mary Peggy, four children Melinda Shimanek Shively (Tim), Aurora, Colo., Melissa Shimanek Ginther (Doug), Hays, Brian Shimanek (Kristin), Montgomery, Texas and Chris Shimanek (Erin), Boca Raton, Fla., 13 grandchildren, Madi, Drew, Grant, Hailey, Kenton, Grace, MaKayla, MaKenna, Allie, Gabe, Noah, Emmett and Sammie, and four siblings Bernie Shimanek, Jim Shimanek, Rose Ann Shimanek Schovanec, and Danny Shimanek. &nbsp;Richard was preceded in death by his parents Bunk and Fannie Shimanek, his brothers Ernie and Steve Shimanek and sisters Alice Shimanek Jones and Betty Shimanek Hudson.

The family will have a viewing at Price &amp; Sons Funeral Home in Leoti from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., a vigil and Rosary on Dec. 27 at 7 p.m. at St. Anthony’s in Leoti, followed by his funeral on Dec. 28 at 10:30 a.m. at St. Anthony’s.

There will be a luncheon at St. Anthony’s hall immediately following the burial. 

<a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/shimanek-farm-recovery-fund?qid=7a282ba45d157094eada01d1eab603d2">In lieu of memorial, the family has asked that donations be made to a GoFundMe account to help his wife recover from the devastation of the prairie fire.</a> &nbsp;

Charlotte Ann Werth, 84, Hays, died Monday, Dec. 20, 2021 at her home.

She was born June 29, 1937 on the family farm east of Munjor, the oldest daughter of Clarence and Helen (Windholz) Herl.&nbsp; She was a 1955 graduate of Girls Catholic High School.

On Oct. 11, 1955 she was united in marriage to Donald P. Werth in Munjor, and they were married nearly 63 years before he died on June 1, 2018.

She loved her family, attending daily mass, and in every aspect of her life put God first.

Survivors include her three sons: Ronald L. Werth and wife Mary Margaret of Hutchinson, Richard J. Werth and Janice Goff of Hays, and Randal C. Werth and wife Michelle of Hays, a daughter: Renee Michaud and husband Gerard of Hays, two sisters: Marilyn Dreiling of Hays and Arlene Weigel and husband Eugene of Gorham, grandchildren: Anne Werth, Phillip Werth, Ryan Werth and fiancé Jessica Yarmer, Shelly Werth, Jennifer Jaymes and husband Bryon, Randi Gerstner and husband Derek, Monica Michaud, and Hannah Michaud and fiancé Matt Shobe, great-grandchildren: Trexton Murphy, Keegan Copelan, Bryson Werth, Corbin Werth, Weston Werth, Maxwell Gerstner, Dalton Werth, Zoe Gerstner, Bentley Gerstner, Atlas Jaymes, and Nevaeh Jaymes, and numerous nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Donald, and brother-in-law: Dennis Dreiling.

Mass of Christian Burial will be at 2 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 23, 2021 at St. Joseph Catholic Church with Fr. Richard Daise officiating. Burial will follow in St. Joseph Cemetery.
