Citizens Medical Center, Colby, surrounded by family. She was born 
November 27, 1936, to Glenn and Leona (Troudt) Wiley on the family farm

21 years of marriage moved with him as an Air Force wife to several 
military bases within the United States, and a 3-year tour in Spain.

 permanent home, where she enjoyed her hobby of planting and growing 
flowers. She was able to plant and grow irises she received from her 
mother. During their retirement Wayne and Kathleen loved to travel and

 began to decline Kathleen took care of him, until his death in 2006, 
shortly after celebrating 50 years of marriage. 
Kathleen was preceded in death by her husband; her parents; sister, Sharon Leigh, and brother, Duane Wiley. 
She is survived by her children, David Hedden of Salina, Kansas, Debra

 while waiting for belongings to arrive overseas, or lived in a 2-room 
kitchenette, with 5 kids, waiting for base housing. After Wayne’s 
retirement from the Air Force, in 1976, they moved to Colby, KS, where 
Kathleen worked at Lantern Park Manor, and some local motels, for 
several years until her retirement. Once moving to Colby, Kathleen had a
 permanent home, where she enjoyed her hobby of planting and growing 
flowers. She was able to plant and grow irises she received from her 
mother. During their retirement Wayne and Kathleen loved to travel and 
would often go visit their children and grandchildren. As Wayne’s health
 began to decline Kathleen took care of him, until his death in 2006, 
shortly after celebrating 50 years of marriage. 
Kathleen was preceded in death by her husband; her parents; sister, Sharon Leigh, and brother, Duane Wiley. 
She is survived by her children, David Hedden of Salina, Kansas, Debra

Emma “Granny Arlene” (Richardson) Wetzler, Stockton, KS, passed 
away on December 15, 2021, at the Rooks County Health Center in 
Plainville, KS, at the age of 95. She was born on June 21, 1926, to Mack
 and Emma (Baird) Richardson in Luray, KS. She married Gerald Richard 
Wetzler on May 23, 1947, in Salina, KS. They were blessed with one 
daughter, Stephanie.
 Arlene grew up in Luray and graduated from Luray High School with 
the Class of 1944. She was a homemaker in her early years, and later 
worked at the Lucas Nursing Home and Golden Living Center providing 
housekeeping and laundry service for 25 years. She also cleaned the 
church in Luray and taught Sunday school for many years. Arlene was very
 active in her church and community. She was a member of Luray United 
Methodist Church and V.F.W. Auxiliary. She enjoyed getting together with
 her friends at the Community Center every Thursday to color and then on
 to 183 Lanes for supper – even at 93! Most of all she loved spending 
time with her grandkids and even involved them in selling poppy flowers 
for the V.F.W. and always had an endless supply of junk food. 
 No matter the situation or the circumstances, Granny Arlene was 
always ready to lift us up and encourage us through the good times, as 
well as the bad. Her loving touch, comforting smile, and timeless wisdom
 will forever ring in our hearts as she reminds us, “This, too, shall 
pass.” Her legacy of strong faith helps us as she enters into eternal 
glory, where the old things have passed and all things will be made new.
 Arlene is survived by her daughter, Stephanie Pfeifer (Steve) of 
Stockton; four grandchildren, Andy Williams (Becca), Colton Pfeifer 
(Rachelle), Miranda Brin (Jason), and Heather Shamburg (Preston); and 
nine great-grandchildren, Cameron, Teagann, Paisley, Abby, Hadleigh, Jo 
Jo, Jase, Tanner, and Sawyer.
 She is preceded in death by her parents, Mack and Emma Richardson; 
husband, Gerald Wetzler; and brothers, Mack, Jr., Johnny, Nolan, and 
Maurice.

IN LIEU OF FLOWERS DONATIONS TO THE MARINE CORPS SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION AT MCSF.ORG APPRECIATED.

I passed away peacefully on December 12th  at the young age of 83 surrounded by my loving family. My strong will, determination and German temperament served me well throughout my life.   

I really want to thank my family for being there during my illness.  I want them to know just how much I appreciated all they did for me.  They were with me round the clock!  I so appreciated all of their kind words of reassurance.  It was so comforting having them with me, holding my hand, making me smile, playing my favorite music and showering me with lots of love!  This made my journey from earth to the other side so very peaceful. 

My pain is gone!  But it pales in comparison to watching my wife and kids feel my pain as they lovingly cared for me. 

I want to let everyone know that I went directly to heaven!  Our dog Tiki was the first one to greet me at the pearly gates.  Then it seemed like I knew everyone!  All of my family members and friends that passed were there too.  I should let you know that that polka song “In Heaven There Is No Beer” is a fat lie.  It flows freely, is ice cold and there is a salt shaker and can of tomato juice nearby.   

I think I lived a pretty darn good life.  I was a tough man with a gentle heart and a generous nature.  I was an ornery child, a tough marine, the very best investigator with the CFTC, a loving husband, dad and grandpa, a hard working man and a loyal friend.  I loved life, my family and friends, polka dancing, vacationing with the family in Galena, my church and bird watching. Yes I was blessed! 

One of my proudest moments was getting my college degree.  I did so while raising a family of 4 with my wife. 

My greatest achievement was finding the love of my life... My Mary!  Getting this girl of my dreams to marry me was also a huge and beautiful achievement.   

One of my greatest accomplishments was having and raising 4 of the most awesome children one could hope for. 

Just when I felt I was too old to fall in love again, I became a grandpa and my 7 grand angels stole my heart!   

You may cry that I am gone, but don’t cry too much!  Instead, be happy I was here and celebrate my life.  And don’t forget me.  That’s all I want. 

And, in the end, remember:  Always do your best, be honest, work hard and enjoy, enjoy the family! 

Our Ed Wasinger will be fondly remembered and greatly missed! 

Edwin “Ed” L. Wasinger, age 83, of Buffalo Grove, Ill. Devoted husband of Mary for 61 years. Loving father of Amara (Mike) Fata, Michelle (John) Whidden, Tanya Sprunger, Edwin L. Jr.(Julie). Proud grandfather of Robert, Michael, Asa, Jack, Blaise, Maddie and Tyler. Dear brother of Bernita Degenhardt, and the late Virgil, Marcella Berens, Alvin, Marion, Leona Sander, Georgina Sander, and Lorraine Wolf. Beloved uncle of many. Ed is also survived by several Marine Corps brothers.

Sharon (Schartz) Garman passed away peacefully in Palm Springs, CA, 
on December 11, 2021, after a lengthy struggle with breast cancer.

She was surrounded by family and friends and all the things she 
loved. She did it in her own way, and on her own terms, and we all feel 
lucky for that.

Sharon was born on September 22, 1952, at St. Joseph Hospital to 
Jewel and Omar Schartz in Larned, KS and graduated from Larned High 
School in 1970.

She was preceded in death by her parents Jewel (George) Schartz, 
whose legacy to Sharon was her incredible gift to design and create, and
 Omar Schartz of Larned, KS who bestowed on Sharon his passion for 
life-long learning and self-education. Her grandparents were Charlie and
 Dora (Sewing) Schartz, Zook, KS and Chester and Nellie (Hockensmith) 
George, Larned, KS.

She is survived by her husband, Ron, son Tyler, his wife Lindsey and 
precious granddaughters Stella and Victoria, all of Rogers, AR.

She is also survived by siblings Tony Schartz, Amarillo, TX; Susan 
Rankin (Mike) Gardner, KS; Cindy Potter (Mike) Olathe, KS; Carolyn Bahr 
(Joe) Denver, CO; and Jim Schartz (Lisa) Colby, KS. She is also survived
 by loving in-laws, nieces, nephews, and a host of dear friends.

She graduated from Emporia State University in 1974 with a BS in 
Education and served as a teacher at Blessed Sacrament Parochial School 
until 1976 in Wichita, KS.

Sharon earned her first Masters degree in Educational Administration 
followed with a second Masters degree in Secondary School Counseling at 
University of Arkansas, all by 2005.

Sharon served as guidance counselor at Rogers High School in Rogers, 
AR until approximately 2009, where she watched Tyler’s football games 
from the parking lot because she couldn’t stand the stress.

She served as the steely skipper at RoArk Group, a printing company 
owned at the time by the Garman family and managed by son Tyler. She 
retired in 2015.

She was known as GG by her dear granddaughters and everyone who crossed their paths.

She was a gifted designer and decorator and decorated many homes in 
her lifetime. She designed jewelry and other beautiful things her entire
 life, including amazing projects for her granddaughters and friends at 
their summer camp, playfully called Camp GG. Stella and Victoria can 
attest that there was no whimsical project GG wouldn’t design and 
organize for the girls and their friends to enjoy.

We watched in wonderment at Sharon’s determination to handle her 
final months, weeks and days exactly as she had planned, and we were all
 enthusiastically on board with her wishes (with herculean assistance 
from sister Susan). She died with all her plants watered, her elephant 
ears cut down, the bulbs reserved for the rest of us, and her homes in 
perfect order. We should all be so lucky to structure our waning days 
the way Sharon did. What strength she exhibited!

In a private ceremony for family members only, her ashes will be 
scattered at the family’s home and property on Beaver Lake. In lieu of a
 public service, Sharon requests that you take a moment to spend time 
with your precious family and loved ones every chance you have.

Memorials in Sharon’s honor can be made to Reliance Hospice, 74130 
Country Club Drive, Suite 103, Palm Desert, CA 92260, the Hospice 
Foundation of America, 1707 L Street NW, Suite 220, Washington, DC

Helen Marie Theleman, 94, went home to Jesus on December 11, 2021. Helen was born to Mannie and Nellie (Sipp) Miller on April 15, 1927, at Lovewell, KS.

Helen met Ed Sr. at the café where she worked after graduating High School. He made her so happy and they married November 2, 1946, and went on to have children, Jill Arnell (Theleman) Loyd and Edward Ross Theleman Jr.

In addition to being a dedicated and loving mother, Helen was always helping others, loving her pets, and loving the children she babysat for.  She had a sweet, infectious smile. As the strong independent woman that she was, she never wanted anyone to worry about her.

Helen read through most to all of the Bible almost every year for many years. She worshiped her Lord and Savior every chance she could. Even if it required walking with a cane or walker down an uneven sidewalk in the snow.

She was always lifting friends, family and neighbors up in prayer. Helen was an amazing encourager sending cards almost everyday to so many people. She was a loved woman who has touched so many lives.

Helen knew how to celebrate Christmas! Great decorations and delicious homemade fudge welcomed family home every December. She’d bake a birthday cake for Jesus, when the grandchildren were young, and all would sing, “Happy Birthday, Jesus.” This year she will have a mighty choir joining her.

In addition to being a faithful, endearing wife, she was a loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, great-great grandmother, Aunt and Great-Aunt to so many nieces and nephews, neighbor, friend and a very devoted member of the First Christian Church and a beloved member of the Downs Community.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Ed (1989); daughter Jill Loyd (2002); brothers, Elmer Miller, Calvin Mallory, Kenny Mallory, and Donnie Mallory, and sister, Donna Thompson.

Helen is survived by her son Eddie Theleman of Desoto, KS; brother, Richard Mallory of New Plymouth, Idaho; sister, Dorothy Hake of Big Rock, Illinois; 6 grandchildren, 14 great grandchildren and 1 great-great grandchild.

Psalm 91:11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways

Exodus 23:20 “See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared.”

Graveside service will be held Thursday December 16, 2021 at 10:00 at the Wallace cemetery, East of Jewell. Visitation will be held Wednesday, December 15, 2021, 7:00-8:30 pm at Domoney Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests monetary donations can be made out to First Christian Church of Downs in care of Domoney Funeral Home, PO Box 127, Downs, KS 67437

Heather Dietz Braun, of Fishers, Indiana, passed away in the arms of her
 children, parents, sisters and aunt Lori at St. Vincents Ascension 
Hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana, on November 28, 2021.
 Heather was born on April 15, 1971, in the Fort Leonard Wood Army 
Hospital at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. She attended elementary school
 and high school in Osborne, Kansas, where she excelled academically and
 participated in all sports, excelling in tennis and basketball. In 
addition to her sports participation, Heather also excelled in vocal and
 instrumental music. Upon graduation from Osborne High School, Heather 
went on to Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, as a recruited 
athlete to play on the Brown University women’s basketball team from 
1989 – 1993. Following her graduation from Brown University with a B.A.
 Degree in Economics, she entered the sports management Masters program 
at Ohio State University and received her Masters Degree in sports 
management in 1995. In addition to her graduate studies at Ohio State, 
Heather entered the Miss Solomon Valley pageant in Kansas and was 
crowned Miss Solomon Valley and went on to be a participant in the Miss 
Kansas pageant in 1994. 
 	Heather’s first job following graduation from Ohio State was with 
the Big 8 Conference which had its office in Kansas City, Missouri at 
that time. While a student in graduate school at Ohio State, she met 
her future husband, Lee Braun, who was also a student at Ohio State. 
She and Lee were united in marriage at the Old Mission United Methodist 
Church in Overland Park, Kansas, on August 3, 1996. Following their 
marriage, she and Lee relocated to Indianapolis, Indiana, where Heather 
changed from a career in sports management to a career in sales and 
marketing. Heather and Lee were blessed with two children, daughter 
Haydn and son Jack. Haydn is a recent graduate of North Central College
 in Chicago now living in Indianapolis and working in marketing for a 
firm located in Indianapolis and Jack is a freshman at the University of
 Indiana. 
 Heather was a member of the Northview Church in Carmel, Indiana. 
She was a devout Christian and was a deeply caring person who always had
 a concern for others. While her life since leaving for college was 
spent far away from Osborne, Heather always said to friends and family 
that “I am a Kansas girl”. She was an avid fan of Ohio State Buckeye 
football and Kansas University Jayhawk basketball. The high points of 
her life were watching her daughter, Haydn, play college basketball at 
North Central College in Chicago and son, Jack, play high school 
baseball for Fishers High School, culminating in the 2021 Indiana Class 
6A State Championship game this past June. 
 	Heather enjoyed sports, having been an active sports participant 
when of a younger age, and then in recent years fervently following 
college and professional sports teams as well as her children’s sports 
teams. Heather’s most enjoyment in life, however, was communicating 
with her family members, both immediate and extended, and her former 
college basketball teammates, many friends and former coaches and 
teachers. In essence, Heather was a “people person”. She preferred to
 communicate by phone rather than text. She loved keeping up with the 
Osborne and Smith Center communities where she has so many friends, 
former classmates and extended family members. It was quite common for 
her to call back to mom and dad concerning events, activities and people
 in the Osborne community that mom and dad did not yet know about or had
 not yet heard. Heather always had a keen interest in national and 
international events. She loved to call mom and dad almost every day 
and talk about local news in Osborne and across the country. And just 
like her grandmother Dietz, she liked to talk about what was going on 
politically in Washington, D.C. 
 	Heather and Lee divorced, but they continued to co-parent Haydn and
 Jack as well as have and show the greatest respect for each other. 
Heather had a love of life and people like no other. Her loved ones 
cannot believe she is no longer with them. She was so much a part of 
the everyday life of her family members and friends. The memories of 
Heather’s contribution to their lives will ease the pain of her loss. 
 	Heather was preceded in death by her maternal grandfather, Dale E. 
Merritt, and her paternal grandparents, Howard Dietz and Ruth Dietz. 
Emily Brenner, a very close friend of Heather’s during her life in 
Indiana preceded her in death in 2015, which deeply affected her.
 	Heather leaves and will be deeply missed by her daughter, Haydn, 
Fishers, Indiana; son Jack, Bloomington, Indiana; parents Richard and 
Marsha Dietz, Osborne; sister Sommer (Vance) VanPelt and children, 
Keegan, Kinley and Kale, Lawrence, Kansas; sister Brittany (Joe) 
Carvalhido and children, Dane and Ian, Baton Rouge, Louisiana; maternal 
grandmother, Doris Merritt, Lebanon, Kansas; uncle, Robert (Wanda) 
Dietz, Smith Center, Kansas; aunt, Claudia (Gary) Pfannenstiel, 
Littleton, Colorado; aunt, Sondra (Kent) Kennedy, Lebanon, Kansas; 
uncle, Randall (Shirley) Merritt, Lebanon, Kansas; uncle, Gary (Cindy) 
Merritt, Topeka, Kansas; and aunt, Lori (Rob) Elder, Olathe, Kansas; as 
well as many nieces, nephews, other relatives and a multitude of 
friends. 
 	Heather’s family would like to express their deep heartfelt 
appreciation to the Osborne community and all of those from near and far
 whose lives Heather connected with and who have contacted her family to
 express their sympathy and condolences.
