Arden Lee Devlin of Smith Center, KS departed his earthly life December 23, 2021, at the age of 84. Arden was born August 18, 1937, in Jewell County Kansas, to Everal and Erma Devlin. He grew up on a farm in Smith County and graduated from Smith Center High School in 1955. 
 Arden started his career as a cattleman and farmer. On February 23, 1962 he married Lynne Ayres. They have two children, Lane Taylor of rural Smith Center and Jan Megan Olin of Golden, Colorado.
 Arden loved to travel. Many family trips were made to Colorado and other places when Lane and Jan were young. Later Arden enjoyed taking trips on his motorcycle with some of his Smith Center buddies. He and Lynne also took multiple trips, including Hawaii, Alaska, and his favorite winter destination, Key West, Florida. He liked to tell people he’d been to the
 Southernmost point and Northernmost point of the United States.
 Until the last year, Arden had an amazing memory. He knew most long time Smith County farmers, where they lived, what land they owned and who owned it before and after. He knew who was related to whom and remembered occurrences well back into his youth as well as stories heard from his elders.
 He was a social person. Like many other Smith County socialites, he was a frequent customer at Paul’s Café where there were daily discussions and multiple problems solved, often the same problem day after day. Everyone knew he loved (and often engaged in) any discussion or argument that came his way.
 Arden often displayed a tough exterior but family and friends were very aware of his soft side and were recipients of his fun and his generosity. They knew how much he cared about and enjoyed them. There were many discussions with him about that fact in his later days.
 Along with many other beloved family members, Arden is survived by his wife, Lynne, his son Lane (Donna) and children, Corbin and Sydney - his daughter, Jan (Keith) and children, Hannah and Madeline. He is also survived by his sister Karen (Gilbert) Frieling.
 We pray that you remember, Lord, all who have died, most especially Arden Lee, all those in the peace of Christ and those whose faith is known to you alone. Bring them into the place of eternal joy and light.

James Francis “Jim” Hlaus passed away on Monday, December 20, 2021, at 
the Ellsworth County Medical Center at the age of 77. He was born on 
September 9, 1944, in Ellsworth, Kansas to James and Barbara (Zeman) 
Hlaus. Jim was united in marriage to Audrey Betz on April 18, 1970, in 
the St. Wenceslaus Catholic Church in Wilson. The couple was blessed 
with three children: Tisha, Tyler, and Tayler.
 Jim was raised on the Wilson flats and graduated from Wilson High 
School with the class of 1962. In 1964 he enlisted into the United 
States Navy, where he achieved the rank of Petty Officer 2nd Class, and 
earned his aviation mechanic certificate. He was honorably discharged in
 1968, and took a job at Boeing in Wichita, but retuned shortly 
thereafter to help on the farm. In 1981, he switched gears and joined on
 with Koch Oil in Russell, KS where he continued to raise his family. In
 2000, another career change took him to Pratt, KS where he worked for 
Wildlife and Parks for 6 years until he and Audrey retired back to 
Wilson. He stayed busy after his retirement, helping Victor Bros Auction
 and Realty, and anyone else who needed an extra hand. Jim loved 
farming, hunting, fishing, and watching sports. Most of all though, he 
loved the time spent with his family.
 Jim was a laid back, fun-loving man who knew how to enjoy life along
 the way. His dry wit and sly grin never failed to bring plenty of 
smiles and laughter. Jim will forever be missed, and his memories 
forever cherished by all who knew him. 
 He is survived by his wife, Audrey Hlaus of the home in Wilson; 
children, Tisha Dixon of Manhattan, KS, Tyler (Nicole) Hlaus of The 
Highlands, KS, and Tayler Hlaus of Wilson, KS; sister, Barbara Princ of 
Wilson, KS; three grandchildren, Harlee Thompson (Garrett Nelson), Royce
 Dixon, and Elliot Hlaus; and one great-grandson, Kannan Thompson.
 Jim is preceded in death by his parents, James and Barbara Hlaus; 
brother, John Hlaus; and brother-in-law, John Princ, as well as many 
good friends in recent years. 
 Due to COVID concerns, a private family service has been chosen.
 Memorials are suggested to Excelsior Lutheran Cemetery Fund and may 
be sent in care of Plumer-Overlease Funeral Home, PO BOX 533, Wilson, KS
 67490. Online condolences can be left for the family at

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 
Stafford, and RaDonna Perrin of Queen City, Texas; 13 grandchildren, and
 13 great-grandchildren.

He is proceeded in death by his parents Phil and Lenora Haney, grandson Ryan Haney and son-in-law Ken Perrin.

Memorial services will be at 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 15,

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;
