Wilma Marie (Schreiber) DeBeer

August 29,1923 – August 12, 2021

Margaret was 97 years old when she died and is preceded in death by 
her husband of 69 years, Delphas Eugene Mehlinger. She was preceded in 
death by siblings Harry Dean Richardson, William Orville Richardson, 
Harry Dale Richardson and Nadine Richardson Parker. Survivors include 
daughters Mary Mehlinger Power and Susan Mehlinger Riordan, son William 
Eugene Mehlinger and wife Karen Vitkus Mehlinger, and son Richard Fred 
Mehlinger and wife Judith Leah Mehlinger. She is survived as well by 13
 grandchildren and 29 great grandchildren.
 Born on August 29, 1923, in a one room farm house near Hoxie, Kansas,
 Margaret was one of five surviving children of Harry Orville and 
Gertrude Gill Richardson. At a time when it was rare for women to 
attend college, Margaret did just that, graduating from Kansas State 
University in 1947, persevering after interruptions caused by the advent
 of World War II and a period of time spent in Hoxie to help her family 
care for her ailing younger sister.
 Education would always play a major role in Margaret’s life. In the
 1960s, she attended the University of South Florida to earn her Florida
 teaching certificate. She went on to pursue her love of education by 
teaching elementary school in Florida and science at Berkmar High School
 in Gwinnett County, Georgia where she was named Teacher of the Year.
 Margaret loved God, family, country, bridge, music, sewing, creative
 arts, baking, cooking, reading, education and, most especially, giving 
back to those less fortunate. Those who knew Margaret knew that she was
 a lifelong learner, a stack of books from the local library always in 
sight beside her favorite chair. She was also an accomplished pianist, 
often entertaining appreciative family and friends. Her family will 
always remember her for her love, wit and determination. The 
grandchildren and great-grandchildren will remember how Nama spoiled 
them on their visits with her cookies, buttery toast, cinnamon rolls, 
and her famous scrabble.
 The farm and her family home in Kansas always held a prominent place
 in Margaret’s heart and thoughts, among many fond memories of the 
places where Margaret and Delphas raised their four children. Kansas 
homes included Marion and Hoxie. As the children were growing up, the 
family was carried to Topeka, Kansas; Saint Peter, Minnesota; 
Brooksville and Balm, Florida; and Atlanta, Georgia. As Bill, Richard, 
Sue and Mary moved on with their own adult lives, the loving couple 
retired in Louisburg, North Carolina to an active life which encompassed
 special friendships, abundant golf and their commitment to Care and 
Share, a church-based community service to the poor which grew into an 
expansive lifeline for the needy of the area. From there, they moved to
 Alpharetta, Georgia to be amongst family, enjoying their home in the 
North Farm community.
 After the passing of her husband, Margaret moved to 
Brookdale/Chambrel, a senior complex, where she continued to excel in 
bridge, dominoes and, as always, reading. She remained a dedicated 
mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother until her passing. Margaret 
leaves behind a treasure of beautiful memories, and will be deeply and 
forever missed by her friends and family.
 A memorial service will be held Tuesday, September 7th, at 2:00 PM, 
Northbrook United Methodist Church, 11225 Crabapple Road, Roswell, 
Georgia 30075 – Reception Immediately Following.
 Internment will be in Hoxie, Kansas on September 11th at 11:00 AM.

John Winston Perkins

Carol Lee (Carpenter) Cale, passed away at her home on Tuesday, 
September 7, 2021, at the age of 96. Carol was born February 12th, 1925 
in Doyle Township, Marion County, Kansas. She was the eleventh child 
born to John Lewis Carpenter and Florence Pearl Victoria Carpenter. She 
was preceded in death by her husband, Chester Vernon Cale, her parents, 
her 10 siblings, Bessie Mae “Peggy” (Carpenter) Kraft, Delbert 
Carpenter, Orville Carpenter, Lucille (Carpenter) Clark, Opal 
(Carpenter) Hunt, Laverne (Carpenter) Rutter, Wilbert Wilson “Billy” 
Carpenter, Virginia Carpenter, Ruby (Carpenter) Veach, John Lewis 
Carpenter and three of her children, Sue Carol (Cale) Siegfreid, Shelley
 Denese (Cale) Doggett and Corby Lewis Cale, along with two great 
grandchildren, Whit and Jude Hodes.

Carol is survived by her oldest and youngest children, Lon Patrick 
Cale and wife Nancy and Chet Allen Cale and wife Connie, fifteen 
grandchildren and twenty-three great grandchildren, Susannah (Cale) Weil
 and husband Jim Bob Weil with their four children Rowdy, Roan, Rhett 
and Reed, Niki Helfrich, Sarah (Siegfreid) Johnson and husband Dave 
Johnson with their two children Aubrey and Joshua, Laura (Siegfreid) 
Sengchan with husband Som Sengchan and their three children Somjai, 
Samuel and Solomon, Eliza (Cale) Hodes and husband Eric Hodes, Autumn 
Cale, Eric Siegfreid, Callie Cale and husband Gavin Rondeau and their 
three children Matilda, Henri and Arthur, Jeremy Cale, Audrey (Cale) 
Pool and husband Matt Pool and their four children, Simon, Bennett, Cora
 and Ruby Anne,&nbsp; J.P. Doggett and wife Adijatu with their child Melody, 
Cody Cale and wife Tammi Cale with children Sophia and Lincoln, Rebekah 
(Cale) Haines and three children, Tanner Cale, and Corbin Cale and one 
child.

Having been the youngest of eleven children Carol grew up on a farm 
surrounded by her siblings, cousins, nieces and nephews. As a young 
child she remembered coming down the stairs and seeing her new baby 
nephew Marvin that she thought was there just for her. This was the 
start of a lifelong passion for taking care of children which she 
continued with Marvin, her sister Ruby’s son, Gary Veach and of course 
her own five children and grandchildren who share happy memories of 
staying at grandma's house and not wanting to leave. This even continued
 with her great grandchildren, some of whom she watched extensively and 
all of whom she loved deeply.

After graduating from Florence High School in 1942, Carol moved to 
Wichita and lived with her two sisters, Laverne and Ruby.&nbsp; Once Carol 
turned 18 she started work at Boeing Aircraft where she was part of the 
crew that did the wiring for the B-29 airplanes.&nbsp; She was very proud of 
the fact that she was one of the last women to be let go after the war 
was over. She recalled when her crew helped push the last B-29 out to 
the tarmac.

After the war, Carol met the love of her life, Chester, while she was
 working in downtown Wichita at an automotive dealership and he was 
working as a construction superintendent.&nbsp; The two were married in 
1949.&nbsp; In 1951 they moved their small family consisting of son Patrick 
and baby daughter Sue to Great Bend to build the new high school. At the
 completion of this project the two of them decided Great Bend was the 
right place to raise a family. They added three more children to the 
family while starting a new construction company, creating a partnership
 with Hahner, Foreman and Cale, later becoming C.V.Cale, Inc. in the 
1970’s.&nbsp;

Carol, being the Chief Operating Officer on the home front allowed 
Chester the opportunity to spend the necessary time and energy away from
 home to build a successful construction firm.

Carol dealt with wild menagerie of animals, both warm blooded and 
cold blooded that son Pat would bring home.&nbsp; She made sure Sue got to 
all the sporting events and practices for cheerleading.&nbsp; She hauled 
Shelley and all her equestrian gear across Kansas and beyond to compete 
in horse shows.&nbsp; She became what we would call today a para professional
 in Corby’s early public-school classes in order to be sure he got the 
best help available.&nbsp; She fought for inclusion and mainstreaming long 
before they put a name on those ideas.&nbsp; And, for Chet she was quite 
simply his biggest fan and number one supporter in everything he did, no
 matter how crazy it was.

For her grandchildren and eventually her great grandchildren she was a
 haven from strict rules of home.&nbsp; Fun and Grandma were two words that 
always went together.&nbsp; She was always willing to “watch” one or all of 
her grandchildren and great grandchildren for an hour, a day, or a 
week.&nbsp; Nothing made her happier and no one ever made it look so easy.&nbsp;

Carol was the foundation upon which the lives of those previously 
mentioned have been built and the keystone that has supported the arch 
of this family.&nbsp; Through lessons learned from her we are all better 
prepared to be the same supports for ourselves and our own families.

If there is one message that she would want to leave to all her family it is, that she “Loves You, Always, All ways.”

Dale Ray Barta passed away on Friday, September 3, 2021, at Storemont 
Vail Hospital in Topeka, Kansas at the age of 80. He was born on April 
28, 1941, to Earnest and Francis (Mattas) Barta in Ellsworth, Kansas. He
 was united in marriage to Diane Elizabeth (DuVal) Barta on May 16, 
1976, in California.

Funeral services for Olga Feyerherm, age 89, of West Point, NE will be held
 on Saturday, September 4, 2021 at 10:30 a.m. at the Immanuel Lutheran 
Church, rural Beemer, NE, with Rev. Robert Schilling officiating. 
Interment will be in the Immanuel Lutheran Cemetery. Visitation will be
 Friday from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Minnick Funeral Home in West 
Point and will continue on Saturday from 9:00 a.m. until service time at
 the church. Masks are encouraged to be worn while in attendance. In 
lieu of flowers, the family suggests that memorials be directed to the 
Orphan Grain Train at ogt.org. 
Olga passed away on Wednesday, September 1, 2021 at Franciscan Healthcare in West Point, NE. 
Olga Elizabeth Feyerherm was born on June 1, 1932, near Wayne, Nebraska 
to Elisabeth (Holscher) and Herman Huntemann. Her parents, who had 
immigrated from Oldenburg Germany, later moved to a farm near West Point
 where they raised their six daughters and one son. 
When Olga was just five, she started first grade at School District 5, 
along with her older sister, Ursula. Because only German had been spoken
 at home, their parents wanted them to be together as they navigated a 
new school and a new language. The two sisters walked the mile and a 
half to school and back every day – even in rain and snow! In 1949, at 
age 16, Olga graduated from West Point High School – ready to teach 
school. By substituting Normal Training (preparation for teaching) for 
English classes in her junior and senior years, she earned her teaching 
certificate. In the fall after her high school graduation, at age 17, 
she began teaching at School District 45. 
On June 3, 1951, she was united in marriage to Orville Feyerherm at 
Grace Lutheran Church in West Point. They moved to the farm near Beemer
 that has been in the Feyerherm family since 1874. Orville and Olga 
took great pride in the family farm where they raised their seven 
children. For Olga, happiness was preparing a Sunday dinner entirely 
from food that was grown on the farm. Her large garden was tended 
lovingly and yielded a large variety of fruits and vegetables that were 
canned and frozen every summer. In 1989, she and Orville moved from the
 farm to a home in West Point. 
Orville and Olga shared a deep devotion to their faith and were active 
members of Immanuel Lutheran Church outside of Beemer until 2000 when 
they joined St. Paul Lutheran Church in West Point. 
Olga’s greatest joy in life was her family – her children, grandchildren
 and great – grandchildren. Visits from family were eagerly anticipated
 by spending time in the kitchen preparing meals and baking her 
signature sugar cookies and iced cinnamon rolls. 
Olga was preceded in death by her husband, Orville, brother Henry, and 
sisters Elsbeth and Clara. She is survived by her children, Ronald 
Feyerherm of Lincoln NE; Karen and husband Clyde Summerville of Seattle 
WA and sons Peter and friend Riley Holman, and Andrew and wife Sierra; 
David and wife Kathy Feyerherm of West Point and daughters Kristina and 
partner Mike Santonocito, and Melanie and husband Christopher Schultz 
and children Meyer and Mable; Curtis and wife Shelly Feyerherm of Olathe
 KS and son Matthew and friend Madelinne, and stepchildren, Andrew, and 
Madison and husband Christian; John Feyerherm of Bennington NE and 
friend Becky Cattau; Alan and wife Vivian Feyerherm of Vienna VA and son
 Aiden; and James and wife Teresa Feyerherm of Hays KS and children 
Nicole, Alex, Alicia, Jessica and Angela; and by her sisters Ursula 
Clark, Dorothy (Everett) Minds and Lily (Norman) Petersen.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

Patti Lynn (Wedermyer) Gray was born to a farming family in WaKeeney on Oct. 21, 1952.

From the beginning of her life, Patti was joyful and musical, a born rule-follower and lover of order, but she also had a playful rebelliousness. She was the oldest of her siblings and cousins, who adored her, and she was the ringleader of a lot of fun.

Patti’s young adulthood was full of adventures. She worked as a bartender and though she was petite, she challenged customers to games of pool that she always won and occasionally did things her parents only found out about later.&nbsp;Patti started her education in the same one-room country school her mother, Kathryn, had attended, then went to high school in town, then to college.

After Patti graduated from Fort Hays State University with a bachelor’s degree, she taught in Oakley, where she met Curtis Gray, and they fell in love. They married Sept. 8, 1979, and in May 1981, their first and only child, Traci, was born and they shared many precious moments together as a young family.

Patti was determined, after the end of her marriage, to build a life she wanted for her and her daughter. She enrolled in graduate school at Fort Hays, and kept working. Her village surrounded her to help take care of Traci. Patti earned her master’s degree in education in 1987, moved herself and Traci to Sabetha, and embarked on a career as a teacher of gifted children in all grades. She thrived in this role, tailoring projects to each child’s needs. Patti worked in Sabetha and surrounding schools for 22 years, retiring in 2009, and she kept in touch with many of her students long after they finished school.

Patti and Traci enjoyed a home filled with music, be it on the radio, piano, guitar or just their two voices harmonizing together. Patti loved scrapbooking, quilting, reading and spending time in one of her many side hustles she used to stay active and support her family.

After retirement, Patti moved to Prairie Village to be near her grandchildren. Her empathy and appreciation for children made her an excellent GiGi. She was wonderfully intentional with each of her grandchildren and the many other special children in her life. While in Kansas City, she sang with the Kansas City Women’s Chorus, and joined the New Song Church. There, Patti found her people: a group of women who put up with no-nonsense and who loved music and fun as much as she did.

As the years went by, Patti lived out her deep love for others. She used her freedom in retirement to care for numerous family members and loved ones in their times of need. Even through her illness, Patti made time for fun, family holidays, and special events. Patti was always thinking of others, even in her hardest moments. She continued creating smiles through the very end.

Patti had her way of how things should go, always.

Patti Wedermyer Gray died on the morning of Sept. 7, 2021.

She is survived by her mother, Kathryn Wedermyer of Goodland; brother, Doug Wedermyer and wife, Sandy, of WaKeeney; brother, David Wedermyer and wife, Laura, of Olathe; daughter, Traci Gray Ketter, and husband, Jason, and their children, Simon, Miles, Amelia, and Ella, of Parkville, Mo.; and numerous beloved&nbsp;cousins, who were all her best friends. Patti was preceded in death by her sister, Vicki Wedermyer, and by her father, James Wedermyer.

The Ketters will host local friends and family at their home in Parkville&nbsp;from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday.&nbsp;

There will be a graveside service at 11:30 a.m. Saturday in WaKeeney at the WaKeeney City Cemetery, followed by a lunch at the Presbyterian Church in WaKeeney.

Robert Duane Hanson, 83, of Kansas City, Mo., passed away Sunday morning, Sept. 5, 2021.

He was born March 17, 1938 in Hampton, Iowa, the third son of four children of Russell and Hilda (Behn) Hanson of Latimer, Iowa.

Robert was preceded in death by his parents and brother, Maurice Hanson of Waterloo, Iowa, his brother, Richard Hanson of Colorado Springs, Colo., and his sister, Virginia of Shertz, Texas. Robert was baptized and confirmed at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Latimer, Iowa, where he also lived and attended school, graduating in 1956 from Franklin Consolidated High School. His lifelong love affair with classical piano music began when he learned to play the piano during this time. At the age of 16, he earned his first pilot’s license and eventually became both a commercial pilot and a pilot instructor. In 1957, he enlisted in the Air Force, serving at Kessler AFB, McCord AFB, and Druex AFB in France.

After serving his country, he worked for Martin Marietta in Denver, where he met his future wife, Janice K. (Klotz) Hanson. They were married on Aug. 25, 1962, at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Norton. His employment opportunities led him to work in both Wichita for Martin Marrietta, and Las Cruces, N.M., for a NASA contractor at White Sands Missile Range. He was proud to be one tiny cog in the great machine that culminated in Apollo 11’s successful achievement of man’s first landing on the moon.

Then a major life change occurred. In 1974, with no prior experience, he decided to move his family to Norton, and become a farmer alongside his father-in-law, Martin Klotz. It was a wonderful place to raise his family, and being a devout Christian father, led his family in attending Redeemer Evangelical Lutheran Church in Norton.

After the death of his wife in 2008 and mother-in-law, Laurena Klotz, life led him to move to Kansas City, Mo., to live with his son where he quietly lived out the rest of his days, enjoying visits with his children and grandchildren, attending Mt. Olive Evangelical Lutheran Church, and having insightful life discussions with his family. His lifelong love of classical piano music and flying never diminished. Survivors include his daughter, Susan A. Shilling and husband Greg of Westphalia, daughter Yvonne L. Beer and husband Mark of Dayton, Ohio, and son, Stephen Hanson of Kansas City, Mo. He was the beloved grandfather to Matthew Beer of Schenectady, N.Y., Bethany Beer of Dayton, Ohio, Camille Shilling of Redwing, Minn., and Cameron Shilling of Westphalia.

Patricia Hiss Friedeman, Great Bend Senior High Graduate of 1955, will be laid to rest in the Great Bend Cemetery on Wednesday, September 8, at 3:00 p.m. At the same time and place, her brother-in-law, James S. Friedeman Great Bend Senior High Graduate of 1949, will also be laid to rest. Pastor Phillip R. Friedeman will preside.&nbsp;

Patricia Hiss Friedeman, 82, currently of Lawrence, Kansas, died with
 a smile on her face, at Lawrence Memorial Hospital Health on Wednesday,
 December 2, 2020.&nbsp; She was born on August 22, 1938 in Great Bend, 
Kansas, the beloved daughter of Carrie Jane Williams and Elward J. 
Hiss.&nbsp; Patricia was fortunate to have two mothers, her own and country 
school teacher who taught her for eight years and then she went on to 
graduate from Great Bend Senior High School.&nbsp; Her college career began 
at Doane College then transferring to Emporia State University where she
 earned a teaching degree in Elementary Education in three and a half 
years.&nbsp; She then taught elementary students in Great Bend, Kansas for a 
semester.&nbsp; On August 9, 1959 she married Phillip R. Friedeman and 
together they were off to Boston for her husband’s seminary experience 
while she provided her salary by teaching a year at a boy’s private 
school and teaching two years in the famous Wellesley school system.

Not knowing she was retiring from teaching she turned her gifts to 
being a mother and a superb home maker and pastor’s wife using the gifts
 of empathy and listening her family had taught her.&nbsp; Never one to be 
ego tripping she assumed tasks in our eight churches that no one could 
see to do like leading children’s choirs, playing the piano, sending 
cards, teaching Sunday School and on and on.

Born at the tail end of the Great Depression, and the beginning of 
too many of our incessant wars and the occasional hard times on the 
family farm, Pat became deeply grateful for whatever good came her way 
and it showed in the genuine heart she has always had for people and 
especially for the children. &nbsp;And why is this so?&nbsp; Because they could 
sense that she was comfortable in her own skin.&nbsp; And that made them 
comfortable to open up and trust her special conversational skills to 
tell their story.&nbsp; And that is why to this day we still hear from so 
many of our surrogate-grandchildren and grown adults.

Patricia would want surely to be remembered for her love of community
 and the groups that made her life special.&nbsp; A sampling follows: Sunday 
School, 4-H, Pilgrim Fellowship, United Student Fellowship (local, 
regional, nationwide), Women’s Fellowship (Member and Officer), 
Yokefellows, Study &amp; Bible Groups, Association and Conference and 
National UCC meetings, PEO Sisterhood (40 Year Member), KU Endowment 
Retirees, Divine Diners, Breakfast and Luncheon Groups, Prayer Shawl, 
Justice Matters (Charter Member), KU Men’s Basketball.&nbsp; And, most 
important of all, Plymouth Congregational Church Worship Services.&nbsp; 
Pat’s earnst desire is that once our nation becomes increasingly in 
control of Covid-19 that we will see a resurgence of community and group
 life.

Left to sing her praises is her beloved husband, Phillip Friedeman 
and their two sons and their wives P. Shawn Friedeman (Sheryl) and Thad 
R. Friedeman (Barbara) older brother Elward J. Hiss and younger sister 
Elizabeth L. Bower (Al). She is also survived by many nieces and 
nephews.

In lieu of flowers, friends and family may send donations to the 
Patricia and Phillip Friedeman Endowed Fund in care of Plymouth 
Congregational Church to be used for the Wider Mission or to Emporia 
State University, to be used for student scholarships in Elementary 
Education.&nbsp; These donations may be sent in care of Warren-McElwain 
Mortuary, 120 W. 13th Street Lawrence, KS 66044.

Rance Henry Denton passed away peacefully in the arms of his high 
school sweetheart, and devoted wife on Tuesday August 31, 2021.&nbsp;Rance 
was born on September 19, 1947, to Hope and Henry Denton in Hays, Kansas.&nbsp;
 He is survived by his wife Nancy Denton, daughters Cody Denton, Carey 
Mackey and Christy Gallegos.&nbsp;In addition to his brothers Jim, Jay, Craig
 and his sister Jan Norell.&nbsp;He also leaves behind his grandchildren and 
great grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his mom Hope Denton, 
father Henry Denton and his daughter Stacey Lynn.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Rance was a character larger than life, from his profound success as a
 wildcatter in the oil field, to his unrelenting love of living life to 
its absolute fullest.&nbsp; He truly loved every single member of his family 
and with his wife Nancy, was the glue that kept the fabrics of his 
family and extended family together.&nbsp; Rance was uncommonly kind and was 
known to give you the shirt off of his back if needed. He was a wildly 
busy and mysterious man, but he somehow always tried to make it to as 
many of his children and grandchildren’s sporting events and lived for 
these occasions.

Rance owned Denton Brothers Drilling Company and was the first man to
 drill a Horizontal well in the Greater Rocky Mountain region.

He attended High School in New Castle, Wyoming, and attended Sterling 
Community College where he was a standout wrestler and football player. 
Often, he reminisced on his many accomplishments on the mat, and 
well…sometimes on the streets, as a tougher and more formidable man 
likely never existed.

He was affectionately known as Maynard to his daughters because he 
always would take care of their horses at rodeos that they attended as a
 family. He traveled near and far to rodeos with his daughters and 
always made sure they were mounted on the best horses.

No child or grandchild escaped the early morning horror of the 
blinking lights or shaking beds and his laughter infused words of 
“DingDong” which landed him many dirty looks and sometimes yelling.&nbsp;All 
of these will now be missed.

Rance never met a stranger in all of his years of travel and 
exploration of all life had to offer one such as him.&nbsp; He could walk 
into a quite bar and leave 3 hours later having made lifelong friends 
with each character occupying the establishment.&nbsp;He was the walking 
definition of generous and made sure not a family member or friend new 
or old went without help if they needed it.&nbsp;

His remote control was sacred, and no one could talk during the 
Bronco games on Sunday’s. Failure to comply by this rule would result in
 being removed from the premises.&nbsp;LOL. Rance made it his noble duty to 
take his family to many unique and memorable destinations, no matter the
 cost.&nbsp;He was a teacher of basketball, skiing, golf, fishing, and all of
 the important lessons in enjoying life.&nbsp;Many pinochle games ended with 
him “Shooting the Moon” followed by boasting of kicking Carey and 
Christy’s butts.&nbsp;

He left this world the way he lived it, gloriously, memorably and 
with no fear of the unknown although he wasn’t quite ready. He will be 
truly missed by so many, but we have the solace of knowing he is now 
pain free and walking once again.

<a href="https://www.taborfuneralhome.com/">Tabor Funeral Home</a> is in charge of arrangements.
