Caprice Dawn Powell, 53, was a beautiful shining ray of light that was 
called home, on October 29, 2021, to a heaven she has been destined for 
since, February 5, 1968, the day God blessed our world with her in 
Spearville. Caprice was the loving daughter of Clarke and Jane 
(Skidmore) Blake. Caprices’ final moments were spent at Western Plains 
Medical Complex in Dodge City, with her family comforting her on her 
journey to Heaven. Caprice spent most of her pre-teen years in 
Tulsa, Oklahoma, making sure that she never missed a Sunday service, 
even if it meant hopping a ride on the Joy Bus, with her little sister 
in tow, when her parents weren’t going to make it to church that Sunday.
 Caprice and her family moved to Montezuma in her teen years where she 
enjoyed a change of lifestyle from the big city and ended up graduating 
from Montezuma High School in 1986. Caprice loved the idea of teaching 
and changing the lives of children. This love and passion drove her to 
attend and graduate from St. Mary of the Plains College, where she 
majored in education. After graduating, Caprice taught middle school in 
Garden City and Topeka. Afterwards, she taught 3rd grade at Berryton 
Elementary School before realizing she wanted to return to her 
small-town roots in southwest Kansas in 2013. Caprices’ return to 
southwest Kansas fulfilled her dream of truly making the biggest impact 
in her students’ life when she was appointed as the school counselor for
 USD 476 in Copeland, later counseling at Comanche Middle School, and 
most recently Southwestern Heights. Caprice utilized her beautifully 
large heart to make such an lasting&nbsp; impression on the kids she taught, 
that numerous children wrote her thank you letters proclaiming Caprice 
as “their second mom”. Caprice did not stop her campaign to care and 
change lives when the school doors closed. She also donated her time to 
be on the board of the HEART group and The Alley in Dodge City. Caprices’
 return to southwest Kansas seemed almost divine, as she would say, when
 she was reunited with her high school sweetheart and “person”, Glen 
Powell. Caprice and her “person” were united in marriage in 2014. There 
was never a day you didn’t walk into the Powell house and didn’t feel 
the aura of love radiating from Caprice as she would greet you with the 
biggest hug and sit down with you attentively listening to every word 
you spoke to her. Caprice loved spending time with her family, so much 
so, that she would sneak photos of every single one of them, just for 
her to hold onto and reminisce on the good times. Caprice had a radiant 
smile and laugh that could light up a room, and an ability to care for 
every single person in her life when they needed it. Caprice will be 
missed so dearly by everyone she knew and feeling the love she gave the 
world will be a task that can only be complete by trying our best to 
live as she did. Caprice is survived by her husband, Glen of 
Montezuma; children, Cole Schaffer (Kaylia), Madilyn Jayne Schaffer, 
Nicholas Powell, and Victoria Powell all of Montezuma; siblings, Niki 
Beaton (Joshua) of Scott City, Dan Holyfield (Karen) of Prescott, 
Arizona, David Holyfield of Queen Creek, Arizona, Debra Calvert (Bill) 
of Tennessee, Tena Walsh of Texas, and David Harp of Washington; two 
grandsons, Wyatt and Eli Schaffer of Montezuma; and many nieces, 
nephews, and cousins. She is preceded in death by her parents and a 
niece, Janielynn. Funeral service will be held at Cross 
Connection Church in Dodge City on Thursday, November 4, 2021, at 10:30 
AM with Pastor Joshua Smith presiding. Burial will be a 2:00 PM Thursday
 at Morningside Cemetery in Montezuma. Visitation will be at Swaim 
Funeral Chapel, Montezuma on Wednesday, November 3, 2021, from noon to 
8:00 PM. Memorials are suggested to the Alley or to HEART Group in care 
of the funeral home. Thoughts and memories may be shared in the online 
guest book at www.swaimfuneralhome.com.

William Joseph “Bill” Buyak passed away on October 30, 2021, at his home
 in Chase, Kansas at the age of 81. He was born to George and Helen 
(Antoszewski) Buyak on December 1, 1939, in Detroit, Michigan. Bill was 
the father to three children: Raymond, Sara, and Michael.
 Bill grew up in Michigan and attended high school there. Following 
high school, he enlisted in the United States Army and served as a Para 
Trooper in the 101st Airborne. Bill was proud of his service and shared 
stories of his time in foreign countries. Germany was his favorite 
because of the food! He earned several honors such as Good Conduct, 
Parachute Badge, and Rifleman Badge. When he was honorably discharged, 
he moved to Kansas and worked for the Oil Field as a Driller and Tool 
Pusher for 30 years until his retirement.
 Bill had a love for animals. He adopted his dog, Ruby from a pet 
shelter; and his other dog, Skippy was one of the many strays he fed 
that ended up staying with him. It was this daily example of living that
 he taught all of us what it truly means to love and care for one 
another, and live every day being grateful for the opportunity to humbly
 serve one another. Although he will be greatly missed, his love and 
influence will remain in the hearts and lives of family and friends. May
 his legacy inspire each of us to encourage one another, cherish the 
ties that bind, and live to serve God, Home, and Country everyday of our
 lives.
 Bill is survived by his children, Raymond Buyak and Sara Buyak and husband Daniel; and sister, Evelyn Roy all of Kansas.
 He is preceded in death by his parents, George and Helen Buyak; 
step-mother, Mary Buyak; son, Michael Buyak; and brother, Arthur Buyak.
 A Graveside Service will be held on Thursday, November 4, 2021, at the Stockton Cemetery at 2PM. 
 Memorials are suggested to the William Buyak Memorial Fund, to be 
allocated toward funeral expenses, and may be sent in care of

Karlynn Kay Brookhart Fabrizius Yanke

Jean Ann (Shoop) Hixson was born in Sterling, Kansas, to Homer Albert Shoop and 
Helen Ethel (Heter) Shoop. Raised on the family farm outside of St. 
John, Kansas, Jean was the oldest of Homer and Helen’s four children.
 Jean’s childhood was filled with family, 4-H, and church activities.
 Shoop family reunions, which began in Colorado in 1950, were always an 
important part of Jean’s life, creating special memories and stories 
with cousins that continued to bring lifelong joy. As a teenager, Jean 
was busy showing award-winning steers and lambs at the fair and was 
equally talented behind a sewing machine, creating stunning pieces of 
clothing she modeled with flair at the 4-H style reviews. After 
graduating from St. John High School in 1961, she headed to K-State 
where she lived in Smurthwaite Scholarship Hall and later Gamma Phi Beta
 sorority, making life-long friends. 
 During her freshman year, a young man offered to drive her to church
 and that’s the beginning of a beautiful love story. With tremendous 
faith and love, she flew across the Atlantic to marry Larry Hixson in 
Giessen, Germany, on August 1, 1964, in a fairy tale wedding that was 
retold throughout their 57 years of marriage. Graduating from K-State in
 1965 with a Bachelor of Science in home economics, Jean and Larry 
headed to WaKeeney to begin a farming career and raise their family.
 Jean quickly made WaKeeney home, working on the farm with Larry and 
raising a family. She taught Home Economics and Combined Cooperative 
Vocational Education Program (CCVEP) at Trego Community High School. 
During the 1980s she sold Leiters Designer Fabrics across western 
Kansas, bringing people together through beautiful fabrics. She served 
on the boards of the Trego County Lemke Memorial Hospital, the Northwest
 Kansas Regional Library, the Kansas Hospital Association, and the 
Kansas Ag Rural Leadership program. For many years, Jean served as 
director of the Trego Hospital Endowment Foundation and enjoyed her 
volunteer work for the Kansas Wheat Commission as a “Wheatheart,” 
demonstrating bread making techniques across Kansas. She was awarded the
 Wheat Woman of the Year in 1997 for her outstanding efforts in the 
promotion of wheat products. 
 Above all, Jean loved caring for her family. Attending her 
children’s events brought her much joy; from music and dance recitals, 
volleyball, basketball (really her favorite), and football games, tennis
 matches, 4-H events (a close second), she was her children’s biggest 
fan. She was an active member of Presbyterian Women, the local Extension
 Homemaker Unit (EHU), two bridge clubs, the Red Hat Society and served 
as a past office holder of Chapter CT of the PEO Sisterhood.
 Jean and Larry loved to travel, visiting their children and 
grandchildren often, and were blessed to be able to enjoy adventures to 
Europe, South Africa, and Asia as well as Hawaii, Alaska, and most of 
the fifty states. In her well-deserved retirement, Jean and Larry spent 
summers in Westcliffe, Colorado, taking in the mountain air, blue grass 
festivals, quilting, bunco, rodeos, and mountain-top picnics.
 Jean passed away peacefully in Hays Medical Center after bravely battling Parkinson’s for 17 years.
 Jean was preceded in death by her parents, Homer and Helen Shoop and
 her sister, Becky (Shoop) Hunley. Jean is survived by her husband, 
Larry Hixson (WaKeeney); sister, Karen Nelson (Larry), McCall, Idaho; 
brother, Donald Shoop (Holly), Fargo, North Dakota, brother-in-law, Rick
 Hunley, St. John, Kansas; daughter, Krista Clouse (Darrin), 
Charlottesville, Virginia; daughter, Heidi Cashman (Steve), Lenexa, 
Kansas; son, Jon Hixson (Jessica), Alexandria, Virginia; grandchildren 
Emma Clouse (Jacopo Scrinzi), Chloe Clouse, Lily Clouse, Sophia Clouse, 
Jack Cashman, Sam Cashman, Luke Cashman, Will Hixson, Hannah Hixson and 
numerous nieces and nephews.
 A Funeral Service will be held on Friday, November 5, 2021, at 11AM,
 at the WaKeeney Presbyterian Church in WaKeeney. Visitation will be 
held the same day 10AM until service time.

demonstrating bread making techniques across Kansas. She was awarded the
 Wheat Woman of the Year in 1997 for her outstanding efforts in the 
promotion of wheat products. 
 Above all, Jean loved caring for her family. Attending her 
children’s events brought her much joy; from music and dance recitals, 
volleyball, basketball (really her favorite), and football games, tennis
 matches, 4-H events (a close second), she was her children’s biggest 
fan. She was an active member of Presbyterian Women, the local Extension
 Homemaker Unit (EHU), two bridge clubs, the Red Hat Society and served 
as a past office holder of Chapter CT of the PEO Sisterhood.
 Jean and Larry loved to travel, visiting their children and 
grandchildren often, and were blessed to be able to enjoy adventures to 
Europe, South Africa, and Asia as well as Hawaii, Alaska, and most of 
the fifty states. In her well-deserved retirement, Jean and Larry spent 
summers in Westcliffe, Colorado, taking in the mountain air, blue grass 
festivals, quilting, bunco, rodeos, and mountain-top picnics.
 Jean passed away peacefully in Hays Medical Center after bravely battling Parkinson’s for 17 years.
 Jean was preceded in death by her parents, Homer and Helen Shoop and
 her sister, Becky (Shoop) Hunley. Jean is survived by her husband, 
Larry Hixson (WaKeeney); sister, Karen Nelson (Larry), McCall, Idaho; 
brother, Donald Shoop (Holly), Fargo, North Dakota, brother-in-law, Rick
 Hunley, St. John, Kansas; daughter, Krista Clouse (Darrin), 
Charlottesville, Virginia; daughter, Heidi Cashman (Steve), Lenexa, 
Kansas; son, Jon Hixson (Jessica), Alexandria, Virginia; grandchildren 
Emma Clouse (Jacopo Scrinzi), Chloe Clouse, Lily Clouse, Sophia Clouse, 
Jack Cashman, Sam Cashman, Luke Cashman, Will Hixson, Hannah Hixson and 
numerous nieces and nephews.
 A Funeral Service will be held on Friday, November 5, 2021, at 11AM,

held the same day 10AM until service time.

Theodore “Ted” Hubert Neuburger died on Monday, October 25, 2021, at 
Delmar Gardens, Overland Park, KS. He was 94 years old. He lived with 
his daughter, Jo, in Cherryvale, KS. 
 Ted was born on Jan. 21, 1927, in Ellis, Kansas, the eighth of 
eleven children to Wenzel and Julia Neuburger, both immigrants from 
Austria prior to WWI.
 He attended Brunerdale Seminary in Ohio for three years before graduating from Ellis High School in 1944. 
 After high school, he enlisted in the US Navy and served as an 
Aviation Radioman 3rd class in WWII from 1944-1946 and was in the Navy 
Reserve until 1954.
 Ted met his future wife, Evelyn Mullins, while on leave at Turner 
Falls, OK. They were married in Ellis on Ted’s 20th birthday in 1947. 
Ted was a butcher in Ellis and Portis, KS. He was a salesperson in El 
Dorado, McPherson, and Hutchinson. Ted decided to become a baker which 
was his father’s occupation and purchased bakeries in Norton and 
Phillipsburg. After a few years he sold those and purchased a bakery in 
Pratt. Eventually, Ted went into the home improvement business before 
retiring. 
 For many years Ted traveled for work, so his weekends were family 
time. Saturdays he and Evelyn would go out to dinner, go bowling, or 
play bridge. Sundays after Mass, he would cook a large breakfast and 
spend time with the kids. They had lots of cookouts and kickball games, 
usually including many of the neighborhood children.
 Ted and Evelyn had twelve children. They lost their first two sons 
shortly after birth. Then they had Loretta Dreiling (Gene), Hays, KS; 
Mike Neuburger (Mary), Lenexa, KS; Jo Neuburger, Cherryvale, KS; Larry 
Neuburger, Springfield, MO; Rick Neuburger (Cathy), Pratt, KS; Ted 
Neuburger (Mina), Auburn, KS; Rose Wirick (Randy), Stilwell, KS; Jean 
Ewing (Rob), Olathe, KS; Kristine Neuburger, Excelsior Springs, MO; and 
Jackie Harmon (Duke), Manhattan, KS.
 They were blessed with 20 grandchildren: Heather Neuburger (Andrew),
 Brooklyn, NY; Julie Neuburger, Springfield, MO; Jenny Neuburger, Pratt,
 KS; Aaron Neuburger (Olivia), Republic, MO; Stephanie Neuburger 
(Nathan), Liberal, MO; Erica Hart, Lawrence, KS; Emily Dreiling (Mac), 
Chantilly, VA; Adam Ewing (Tracie), McKinney, TX; Tim Wirick (Louise), 
Overland Park, KS; Billy Neuburger (Jaime), Bozeman, MT; Jake Dreiling, 
Thailand; Andy Wirick (Nicole), Newtown, NJ; Brad Neuburger (Stephanie),
 Nixa, MO; Luke Neuburger (Sara), Olathe, KS; Carly Wirick, Stilwell, 
KS; Teddi Lewis (Brian), Pinkney, MI; Zach Harmon (Callie/fiancé), 
Denver, CO; Kelly Akins (Chris), Olathe, KS; Anna Hrebec (Alex), 
Maryville, MO, and Eli Theodore Harmon, Topeka, KS. They also had two 
step granddaughters, Caitlin Ingham, Olathe, KS and Sarah Ingham, 
Chicago, IL.
 Those twenty grandchildren gave Ted and Evelyn 29 great 
grandchildren: Lana and Georgia; Will and Cara; Everett and Harrison; 
Wesley and soon-to-born Margie; Sheridan; Kelea, Addyson, and Emma; 
Zoee, Christian, and Aden; August and Maggie; Natalie and Jaden; 
Kennedy, Quinn, and McKayla; William; Alexa and Nora; Evelyn and 
Abraham; and Emmitt and soon-to-be born, Stella. They had one great, 
great grandson, Greyson.
 Uncle Teddy had many nieces and nephews who loved him and were loved in return. 
 Ted was a devout Catholic, baptized at birth, confirmed with the 
name Francis, and attended a seminary for three years considering 
becoming a priest. He served on the school board for St. Teresa’s grade 
and high school in Hutchinson. At his death he was a member of St. 
Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Cherryvale. He never went to sleep 
before kneeling beside his bed and saying his prayers aloud. Ted prayed 
the Rosary daily.
 Ted loved all sports, especially baseball, which he played for 
years. He followed the Detroit Tigers/Lions/Pistons/Redwings, KU 
basketball, and was passionate about Notre Dame football. He was an avid
 golfer and taught his wife to play. They often played together and 
traveled with their clubs in case there was a course nearby. He last 
played with Susan Neuburger, his former daughter-in-law, but had to give
 it up due to his failing eyesight. His other favorite pastime was 
fishing. His last fishing adventure was with his son-in-law Duke Harmon 
two years ago.
 His memory was amazing. Ted knew his high school classmates, almost 
every neighbor he ever had, friends past and present, business 
associates, sailors from the Navy, and stories for each of them. He 
spent many hours reminiscing and then keeping track of them using the 
Internet.
 Ted was preceded in death by his parents Julia and Wenzel; sisters 
Marie Helget, Dorothy Rupp, Janet Giannone; and brothers Joseph, Edward,
 Arthur, Norbert, Arnold, Richard, and Ernest. He lost his daughter, 
Kris, in 1990 and son, Larry, in 2013. Evelyn, Ted’s beloved wife of 67 
years, passed away in 2014.
 Memorials are suggested to the Pratt Public Library in honor of his wife’s love of reading.

 Xavier Catholic Church in Cherryvale, KS. Visitation will be from 6:30 
p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the church hall following the Rosary. A funeral 
Mass will be celebrated on Monday, Nov. 8, at 10:00 a.m. at St. Francis

Though Bob was born in California, he moved with his family in 1948 
to Hoxie, KS, spending the next 19 years as a Kansan, until the move to 
Illinois in 1966. He graduated from Sheridan Community High School in 
Hoxie, Ks, in 1954, received his BS Degree from Fort Hays State College 
in Hays, KS in 1958 and his MS Degree from Kansas State University in 
Manhattan, KS in 1969.

Bob was united in marriage on June 17, 1956 in Hoxie, KS to Shirley 
Lee Conard, the girl that he said he had come all the way from 
California for. Their three daughters, Mardi Kay, Linda Marie, and Julie
 Anne were the recipients of the unwavering love of a Dad who was always
 there for them.

Bob was a teacher and coach of football and track for 12 years 
following graduation from college. The first 8 were in Kansas at 
Herington, McPherson, and Hutchinson, and the final four in Illinois, at
 Belleville Township High School West. The ’69 team that finally brought
 “The Bell” back to Belleville was the highlight of his time at West.

When he left teaching/coaching in 1970, Bob spent the remainder of 
his time until retirement in the business world in Belleville. He was 
with Marsh Stencil Machine Company and Magna Bank, but the majority of 
his years were spent running his own company, Sales Incentives Plans, 
Inc.

Over the years he was an active member of the Belleville community, 
serving as a Ward 4 Alderman for a term and as a board member of a 
number of Belleville entities: Memorial Hospital, the former Women’s 
Crisis Center, the Y.M.C.A. and Lake View Memorial Gardens. He also 
served for a number of years on the Board of Directors of the St. Louis 
Branch Rickey Chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and was 
honored with the title of Board Member Emeritus. He was also 
instrumental in planting F.C.A. in the Metro East Area, and served as 
Board President at its inception.

Bob was an ordained Elder in the Presbyterian Church USA and for over
 50 years, along with his wife, Shirley, was an active participant in 
the ministry and fellowship at First United Presbyterian Church in 
Belleville.
