Jack Faber, 93, of Brewster, Kansas died on Friday, December 31, 2021, 
in Lakewood, Colorado, surrounded by family. He was born October 27, 
1928, to Artie (Smith) and John Faber, at his Aunt Ella’s home in 
Kearney County, Nebraska and baptized January 25, 1929. He began primary
 school at the age of three, scored high on exams, and by the age of 12 
he started, but never finished, high school in Colby. Instead, the teen 
went to work on the farm and worked for other local ranchers. Known for 
some antics, his mother could have probably attested to the need to keep
 Jack busy when she shockingly discovered he had wired the outhouse seat
 with a battery charger. 
On December 9, 1945, 17-year-old Jack eloped with his sweetheart, Mary, 
all the way to Goodland. After Mary’s unplanned reveal of their secret 
marriage the following day, Jack’s folks were not happy, and Mary’s 
folks gave the newlyweds $50. Some of the money went toward a honeymoon 
in Denver; Mary spent the remaining bounty on a pretty dress. Jack and 
Mary spent many evenings together at local barn dances, where Jack might
 also have been found playing the guitar or the fiddle. The neighbors 
said it would never last. Jack’s smitten eyes and affectionate smile as 
he held Mary’s hand 75 years later would beg to differ. 
Jack was a loving husband and father, a skilled farmer, and a sensible 
businessman, who devoted his life, above all else, to family. He served 
as a role model and a resource for family and community alike for life 
and business. He will always be remembered for his strong, steady 
presence and compassion for others, selflessness, and integrity. Jack’s 
capacity for acceptance and unconditional love cultivated strong 
reciprocal love and respect from so many others throughout his life. 
Jack and Mary’s home in Brewster was the center for family meals and 
holiday gatherings and a safe place for people to just exist. Grandkids 
commonly greeted their Grandpa Jack by tickling their fingers across the
 top of his crew cut head. 
Over their 75 years together, Jack and Mary built a family and a farming
 business. During drought times, he would drive truck from Denver to 
haul cars to Chicago or work as a custom harvester, even taking his own 
crew one year. Jack later stepped away from full-time farming and turned
 his focus to his work with the Department of Agriculture and the 
Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service. Eventually, in the 
1970s, Jack attained his GED to formalize his high school education so 
he could work for Federal Crop Insurance. After briefly living in Hays 
and Manhattan for Jack’s work, the couple returned to Brewster, where 
their family eagerly awaited their return. For some time, he also sold 
Triumph Seed with his son, John, and won a salesmanship award. 
Always community-minded, Jack was a longtime member of Our Savior’s 
Lutheran Church in Brewster, the Brewster Lions’ Club, the Elks’ Club, 
Retired and Senior Volunteer Program, and was a charter member of the 
Brewster Senior Center. He sat on the boards of the Farmers’ Co-Op, 
Brewster Senior Center, Our Savior’s Lutheran Church, Farm Management, 
and the Mirage and Brewster Schools. In 1966, Jack was recognized with a
 Rawlins County Conservation Award. Later, in 2007, he was awarded the 
Brewster Community Award. Let us not forget the many years he called 
bingo for all the gambling folk, including Mary, in the greater 
northwest Kansas region. The community remembers him for his humility, 
quiet presence, observant nature, and that canny smile that let everyone
 know that he knew. Jack seemed to know everything about everyone for 
generations of folks and, in his later years, even kept up to date on 
everyone’s lives through his own social media account. 
Jack was preceded in death by his wife, Mary; parents; sister, Dinah 
Faber Knight; granddaughter Jennifer Renee Faber; and son-in-law Albert 
Holub. 
He is survived by his children, Jackie (Darrell) Jorgensen, of Brewster,
 KS; Vonita Holub, of Brewster, KS; and John (Renee) Faber, of Brewster,
 KS; sister, Kathleen O’Neal; grandchildren David (JimMarie) Jorgensen, 
Daniel (Jennifer) Jorgensen, Sarah Jorgensen (Dustin Wessels), Julie 
Williams, Matthew (Stacy) Wallsmith, Jessica (James) House, Joshua 
(Ronda) Faber, Jeremiah Faber, Jacob Faber; so many great and 
great-great grandchildren from whom he adored visits; and many nieces 
and nephews. 
Memorial service will be at 10:00 a.m. Friday, January 14, 2022, at Our 
Savior’s Lutheran Church, Brewster, KS. Burial will be performed later 
at the Faber Family Cemetery in rural Rawlins County. Memorials are 
suggested to Our Savior’s Lutheran Church, Brewster Heritage Center, in 
care of Baalmann Mortuary, PO Box 391, Colby, KS 67701. Online

Jeanetta Rose Schendel passed away on Sunday, January 9, 2022, at the 
age of 71 in Olathe, Kansas. She was born on January 14, 1950, to Jesse 
and Melba (Kindlesparger) Whitmer in Carrollton, Missouri. Jeanetta was 
united in marriage to Albert Schendel on July 30, 1979, at the Wilson 
Methodist Church. The couple was blessed with two children: Michelle and
 Valerie. When Michelle passed away, her son Kanyon was adopted by 
Jeanetta and Albert.
 Jeanetta attended Wilson High School and graduated with the class of
 1968. Following High School she attended beauty school in Kansas City, 
Missouri. She returned to the Wilson area and worked for several places 
such as Eshbaugh’s as a screener and worked for Dr. Whitmer for 20 
years. Jeanetta retired her work and lived the rest of her life as a 
homemaker. She enjoyed taking care of her family, cooking meals, and 
tending to the home or crafting projects such as knitting and 
crocheting. Jeanetta made many rosaries, baby quilts, and potholders. 
She was very family-oriented, and loved time spent with Albert and 
Kanyon. She always loved taking trips with the camper and her family. 
Jeanetta was very personable, an intent listener, and honest. Her whole

Delbert Eugene Wiedeman Sr., 82, of WaKeeney, KS was born September 7, 1939, in Hays, KS to Alvin and Olinda (Rohn) Wiedeman and passed away January 9, 2022, as a cherished husband, father, grandfather and unwavering friend to so many.&nbsp; Del is survived by his wife, Patricia, his children Del Jr. and Crystol, his grandchildren, Chantel, Crystol and Micah, his brother Larry Wiedeman and his nieces and nephew, Heather (Wiedeman) Moore, Heidi (Wiedeman) Holopirek, Jerot Pearson, and Karen (Pearson) Holland and their families.&nbsp;

He was united in marriage to Patricia (Pat) Lawson on August 20, 1967, in Atwood, KS. As a pilot, Del flew his new wife on their honeymoon to Yellowstone National Park in a Cessna 182. They celebrated 54 years of marriage last year.

Del was the most kind, positive and generous person as is indicative of the way he chose to live his life; the same way he proudly served his family, his church, his community, and his country.&nbsp; He served in the United States Navy from 1957-1960. He served on the Zion Lutheran Church Board. He also spent a portion of his career as Secretary- Treasurer, Vice President and President for the Kansas Association of Wheat Growers from 1985 to 1987. From 1988 to 1990 he served in the same roles for the National Association of Wheat Growers where he was instrumental in the creation of the 1990 Farm Bill. In 1991, Del was awarded Kansas Wheat Man of the Year. Del also served on the Conservation board for 20 years. Lastly, he served his wife, children, and grandchildren in everything he did, as an amazing husband, father, grandfather, mentor, and role model.&nbsp;

After his military service, he received his bachelor’s degree in Business at Fort Hays State University. While in college, he earned his pilot’s license while working at the Hays airport. He started working as an insurance agent with Federated Insurance in Colby, KS.&nbsp; He later moved to WaKeeney where he continued as an insurance agent at Trego WaKeeney State Bank.&nbsp; In 1984, Del started TWI (“Trego WaKeeney Insurance”), and in 1986 Larry Dietz joined TWI to form TWI-Dietz.&nbsp;

One of Del’s greatest passions was his farm.&nbsp; He would frequently joke that he needed to have a job to support his farming hobby. &nbsp; In addition to being a hard-working farmer, Del was quite adept at using things around the farm to teach life skills to his children, grandchildren, and even periodic visitors to the farm.&nbsp; In addition to growing up on the farm, Del was actively involved in the management of the operation since 1975.

Del is predeceased by his parents Alvin and Olinda Wiedeman, his sister Mary Ann Pearson, his brother-in-law Vance Pearson and his sister-in-law Angie (Rein) Wiedeman.&nbsp;

Services will be held at the Schmitt Funeral Home at 336 North 12th Street, WaKeeney, KS on Friday, January 14th, at 1PM.&nbsp; Interment will be held at the Veteran’s Cemetery in WaKeeney following the Celebration of Life service.

Memorial contributions may be donated to the Trego Lemke Memorial Hospital Endowment Fund or St. Labre Indian School. Donations may be sent to Schmitt Funeral Home, 336 North 12th Street, WaKeeney, KS 67672.

Delbert Eugene Wiedeman Sr.

Husband, Father, Marine Corps Veteran, and long-time Grand Island NE 
resident, Scott J. Buck, born in Schuyler, NE on November 28th, 1958 was
 asked to join his Heavenly Father on Saturday, January 8th, 2022 at the
 age of 63. Scott’s battle with Cancer and DIC showed his courage and 
strength in life’s most difficult challenges through a smile and humor. 
Despite the pain and the unknown, Scott was a hero to his friends and 
family. Fierce in faith and love, his family takes peace in knowing he 
is reunited with his parents, Rosemarie and CJ Buck, brother Steven 
Buck, and his beloved four-legged pups Bailey, Lucy, and Katy. He is 
survived by his wife, Shannon Buck, Daughter Sarah Buck, Sister Sue Geis
 Bordogna, stepchildren that he loved like his own, Sydney Thomas 
(Ethan) and Derrick Brown and granddaughter Ardyn Rose Thomas. He is 
also survived by many cousins, nieces, nephews, and in-laws.
 Scott joined the Marine Corps shortly after high school and quickly 
rose to be the youngest Sargent in the aviation division, completing ten
 jumps and becoming an inspector instructor. He proudly served his 
country in CA, NC, and IL. After leaving the military, Scott had a very 
successful career in the food business where his appetite for food and 
success grew simultaneously. He worked at Food Services of America, The 
Thompson Company, and US Foods before retiring from CashWa foods in June
 of 2021.
 In 2015, he married the love of his life, Shannon Buck. Together 
they started a new life filled with love and laugher. In 2018, they 
moved into their dream home in Norton Kansas, where they spent a lot of 
time in their backyard birdwatching. Scott loved hummingbirds and 
orioles which he often called Oreos. Scott enjoyed going to the shooting
 range, camping at the lake only a few minutes’ drive from their home, 
and hunting with his best friends, Brad Green, Jay Rockwell, and Dave 
Bacon. Scott also loved vacationing in the mountains of Estes Park, CO.
 Scott’s life will be celebrated at All Faiths Funeral Home in Grand 
Island, NE on Thursday, January 20th, 2022, at 10:30 am. If you would 
like to show your support via donation, the family is asking the 
donations go to Pheasants Forever or Tunnel to Towers. The family is 
also asking those who can to donate blood through their local blood 
drive or the American Red Cross. Blood donations can be made to team 
‘Scott Buck."

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.

Crystal believed strongly in the power of God and prayer, but didn’t feel you had to go to a building to show that.&nbsp; She had a very strong faith in the Lord and believed that you should live your life accordingly.

She was a kind, loving, generous, a very strong and capable woman.&nbsp; She had a smile that could light up the world.&nbsp; She loved to laugh and give people a bad time. &nbsp; She loved giving Jim a bad time about anything that they might be doing or talking about.&nbsp; She could be tough as nails and fight for what she believed in.

Crystal’s main interest was in photography. &nbsp; She was an artist, whether it be photography, painting, drawing or just creating something.&nbsp; She had an interest in wood working and had built a desk where she inlaid a wood pattern. &nbsp; She loved fishing, camping and traveling.&nbsp; Her dream was to get a camper and travel.
