Jackie Irvin Turnbull passed away on August 14, 2021, at Redbud Village 
in Plainville, Kansas, at the age of 89. He was born on November 17, 
1931, to Irvin and Montie (Atteberry) Turnbull in Coldwater, Kansas. 
Jack married Nola Nadine Bane on May 7, 1951, in Phillipsburg, Kansas. 
They were blessed with four children: Tony, Brenda, Jeff, and Tracy.
 Jack grew up one of ten children in Stockton, Kansas, and attended 
Stockton High School. Following high school, he joined the Air Force in 
1948, and then he worked in the oil fields for Lane Wells until 1965. He
 worked for Standard Oil Company as a jobber until 1970 when he started 
Turnbull Oil, Inc. He sold his business to Jeff in 1991 so that he and 
Nola could enjoy retirement together.
 Jack was a member of the First Christian Church and had served as a 
deacon and a trustee. He was a councilman in Plainville, a commissioner 
for Rooks County, a member of the Masonic Lodge, a member of the 
Plainville Fire Department, and a successful businessman.
 Jack loved being part of a large family which included many 
gatherings and reunions. As a young father, he enjoyed spending time 
with his family, playing games and cards, coaching many of the kids' 
sports, and attending all of their activities. Some of Jack's hobbies 
were fishing, hunting, square dancing, reading, and watching the Kansas 
City Royals. The most enjoyable retirement time was traveling with Nola 
in his fifth wheel across the United States. Later in his life, he loved
 spending time with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren as well as
 chatting over coffee with his buddies at Crawford Supply. From all of 
his experiences, he gave us strength, knowledge, and determination.
 Jack is survived by his wife Nola of Plainville; his children: Tony 
Turnbull and wife Cindy of Elk City, OK, Brenda Reiners of Hays, KS, 
Jeff Turnbull and wife Deb of Plainville, and Tracy Fellhoelter and 
husband Steve of Plainville; brother Jim (Judy) Turnbull of Hutchinson,

Roberta Ann (Wurm) Johnson was born on July 25, 1940, in Norton, Kansas,
 and departed this life at the Good Samaritan Center in Oberlin, Kansas,
 at age 81.
 Roberta was the elder of two daughters born to Robert G. and Merna 
(Davis) Wurm. She and her younger sister Jackie were raised in Oberlin,
 where Roberta spent her entire life. 
 Roberta was baptized at the rural St. John Lutheran Church as an 
infant in 1940 and confirmed her baptismal vows as an adult in 1958. 
She was a life-long member of the church and raised her daughters in the
 faith.
 Roberta graduated from Oberlin City School in 1954, and from Decatur
 Community High School in 1958. She later attended Colby Community 
College.
 It was at DCHS that Roberta met her future husband, Lynn Johnson. 
They were confirmed together at St. John Lutheran Church and were 
married there on September 27, 1959. To this union were born two 
daughters, Sherri Sue and Shelli Lou.
 The family lived in Oberlin during the first ten years of their marriage, and Roberta worked at the Farmer's National Bank.
 In May of 1969, the young couple had the opportunity to purchase a 
farm in Harlan Township, eight miles east and eight miles north of 
Oberlin. Their happiest days were spent there where they raised their 
family, cattle, horses, hogs, chickens, and dogs. Roberta worked hard on
 the farm, producing a large garden and canning hundreds of quarts of 
vegetables and fruit. 
 Roberta also worked in Oberlin as her daughters grew older: as a 
paraprofessional at Oberlin Elementary School and DCHS. Later she was 
employed as a secretary at Sauvage Gas Company.
 In 1985, Roberta and Lynn sold their farm and returned to Oberlin to 
work in real estate. They formed Johnson Realty, Inc in 1990, and were 
successful real estate brokers for over thirty years.
 Roberta enjoyed entertaining her family and friends and loved to cook and bake. 
 Roberta was preceded in death by her parents; brothers-in-law, 
Lowell Johnson, Lyle Johnson, Vidal Capps, and Neil Votapka and 
sisters-in-law, Georgia Johnson and Alice Capps.
 She is survived by her husband Lynn; daughters Sherri Ramsey and 
Shelli Fortin and their husbands Terry Ramsey and Jay Fortin;

Ramsey, Bryanna Ramsey; great-grandchildren: Brody, Aubree, and Lane

Votapka of Clifton and many nieces, nephews, friends, and special care 
giver, Chantelle Fortin.

Rita Louise Schutte 

Laura Neva (Stratton Adams) Vogt, age 96, passed away on August 12, 
2021, at Greeley County Long Term Care Center in Tribune, Kansas. She 
was born April 2nd, 1925 in Gove County, Kansas, the daughter of Earl 
and Grace (Stillsworth) Stratton. 

She attended country schools and 
graduated from Scott Community High School. From there, her journey took
 her to Wichita, Kansas supporting the war effort at Beechcraft where 
she worked as a riveter; she was one of the original “Rosie’s.” In 1947,
 she married Samuel Leo Adams in El Dorado, Kansas, where they made 
their home. 

Laura contributed to the workforce in many capacities. Her 
jobs included everything from a Trailways Ticket Agent to working for a 
doctor, bank, and lumber yard. She and Leo were blessed with a baby 
girl, Cynthia LeeAnn Adams in 1959. They lost Leo to heart failure in 
1964, and Laura recommitted herself to being the best mother possible 
for her young daughter. Four years later, she met Robert Everett Vogt at
 a dance at the Cotillion in Wichita, and they were united in marriage 
on February 3rd, 1968. She joined Bob on his farm five miles south of 
Tribune, Kansas, which remained her home for the next fifty-plus years. 
This union brought many changes to Cindy and Laura’s life. The move to 
Tribune added four of Bob’s Children to the mix: Gail, Kate, Mike, and 
Jennifer, as well as her first grandchild. 

She spent her childhood on a 
farm, so this life was an easy transition for Laura. She loved animals 
and quickly added many to fill the barn. She reveled in the work and 
driving harvest trucks that were filled with singing children. She 
supported Bob throughout the years as their farm and family grew. Laura 
was able to help foster many happy memories for her ever-growing family.
 She was also a member and volunteer at the First Presbyterian Church in
 Tribune, Kansas, and volunteered as a 4-H leader. During her time in El
 Dorado, she was a Girl Scout Leader. She was a homemaker, an excellent 
gardener, and seamstress, and excelled at cooking and hard work. She was
 able to navigate any endeavor she took on with grace and ease. 
Throughout semi-retirement, she and Bob spent their winters in Aransas 
Pass, Texas fishing in the gulf, which brought great joy to her life. 
She also loved to play games and camp out with her family and friends.

Survivors include: One Son - Robert Michael &amp; Sharon Vogt of 
Tribune, Kansas, Four Daughters - Cynthia &amp; Ronald Miller of 
Tribune, Kansas, Gail &amp; Daryl Miller of Tribune, Kansas, Mary 
Katherine Vogt &amp; Jay Rosner of Mill Valley, California, Jennifer 
&amp; Jeffrey Crockett of Rapid City, South Dakota, Twelve 
Grandchildren, Seventeen Great Grandchildren, and Two Great Great 
Grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her Parents, Two Husbands, and Eight 
Siblings - Elta Lee, Olive, Robert, George, Elsie Ethel, Donna, and 
Beth.

Funeral Services will be at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, August 17, 2021, at 
the First Presbyterian Church in Tribune, Kansas, with Andrew &amp; 
Desiree Sanders presiding.

Interment will be in the Greeley County Cemetery in Tribune, Kansas.

Moneta Alwilda Ray was born on the evening of Oct. 28, 1922 on a farm in White Rock township, Smith County, Kansas, and passed away Aug. 11, 2021 at the Smith County Memorial Hospital in Smith Center. Her parents were William C. Ray, who passed away in 1930 and Mary T. (May) Ray, who passed away in 1979.

Alwilda attended both rural and town schools and was graduated from Lebanon High School in 1941 with a Normal Training Certificate that enabled her to begin teaching school. She taught several years including White Eagle, Simmons and Lone Star.

She met Marvin Nelssen at the free picture show in Bellaire during her first term of school in 1941. Their courtship was via mail during the 3 ½ years he was in the service during World War II.

Upon his return from the service, they were married March 13, 1946 at the Methodist parsonage in Jewell. Two sons were born to this union, Ronald and Dennis.

They made their first home on Nelssen land in Washington township. After four years, they decided to relocate because of living conditions and bought a farm in Valley Township. It was during the eight years living there they became interested in dairy farming.

Marvin, Alwilda, and family moved to their present home in 1958. She was so grateful when they built their new home in 1967 and the new Grade A dairy barn in 1972. Alwilda was always a help mate with all the farm work and she enjoyed it. She and Marvin were a work team together.

Alwilda was a good homemaker, and it was always her ambition to celebrate holidays and birthdays with a feast around her table with her family that was very special to her.

 3, 2021, at her daughter’s home in Denver, Colorado, from cancer, 
surrounded by her loved ones.

She was born on December 3, 1940 in Glasgow, Scotland to William and 
Margaret Rea, the second of four children. Margaret came to the United 
States “because I wanted something different,” on July 12, 1960. She

farmer’s wife she helped with the farm as often as needed and was known 
for her delicious harvest dinners. She was also very active in Girl 
Scouts and was a Troup Leader for many years. She loved the Girl Scout 
organization and it brought her a lot of joy. She was especially fond of
 taking her troops on camping trips. In her spare time Margaret enjoyed 
reading and watching mysteries; crafts including sewing and knitting; 
and most importantly spending time with her granddaughter Rinley. Many 
in the community remember Margaret for her smile, sense of humor, and 
willingness to lend a hand.

Surviving family include her daughter Jody M. McGuirk and husband 
Ryan H. McGuirk of Denver, Colorado; granddaughter Rinley A. McGuirk of

Jeremy Lee Stein

Kuper Eugene Jones was born August 21, 1983, in Colby, Kansas, 
surrounded by friends, family and a world of love. He started his 
journey of life fighting, born premature, weighing in at just 4 pounds 8
 ounces. The day after making his appearance, he was sent to face open 
heart surgery head on. This is when Kup first showed the world his 
heart- it being only comparable to that of a lion. Kuper carried this 
heart on his chest from his first breath to his last. We can all attest 
to that. Even before the first grade Kuper tackled Guillain-Barre that 
had him paralyzed from the eyes down. He was bound and determined to 
show that heart again, proving countless people wrong, when he walked to
 his first day of school. 
Kuper was a lover of all things, but mostly all things sports. This 
passion was inherited from his grandparents, Harold and Grace Jones, and
 helped to shape Kuper into the “well of sports knowledge” that he 
ultimately became. Kuper was not afraid of anything. Period. He was 
certainly not afraid of making sure everyone knew what his favorite 
teams were and why. Kuper had a steady stream of defensive talk backing 
his Cleveland Browns. If you were to ask Kup before any football season 
he'd tell you to “look out for them Brownies this year, this is going to
 be their year!” Kuper loved sports so much that after obtaining his 
general education, he further pursued journalism on his journey to 
becoming a part of, and documenting, any kind of competition. Along with
 being a very charismatic and handsome fella, Kuper always had a way 
with words. He was an amazing sports broadcaster and showed his 
versatility when proving he could call not only basketball (his 
passion), but football, wrestling, and volleyball, to name a few. 
Kuper also loved being a coach. He played a huge role in creating the 
sports animal we all know and love, his son Dominik. Kuper coached Dom 
in countless basketball games, in which he gave no favoritism. Kuper 
made sure to teach Dom the triangle offense before the kid knew his 
ABC’s! Dominik is on his way to a full-ride playing basketball and 
Kuper, we know, would be so proud. He loved being able to be a part of 
his community in helping to raise these young athletes to their fullest 
potential. Kuper saw greatness in games and individuals that only one 
with passion could catalogue. 
Kuper also carried with him a passion for music. As an adolescent he 
tried his hand at the guitar and the trumpet before realizing that his 
niche would be in rap. Kuper was an amazing songwriter and was well on 
his way to making hip hop interesting again. Kuper was not afraid to 
steal the show. He loved to perform whether it be in the backyard in 
front of the dog or on a stage in front of a crowd acting a fool. 
Kuper was not afraid of having a good time, and if he was having a good 
time, that meant the same for the people around him. Kuper loved, and he
 showed that love in a funny way sometimes, but Kuper was a caring soul.
 He was able to make one feel comfort when nobody else's words could 
even be heard. He never judged for, “He who is without sin is the one 
who can cast the first stone.” Kuper Eugene Jones left this physical 
world on August 6, 2021. 
He was preceded in death by his Grandfather Harold Eugene Jones (his 
hero) and his uncle Donald Eugene Jones. He is survived by his son 
Dominik Eugene Jones; his grandmother Grace Irene Jones; his mother 
Linda Hubert; sisters, Tammi Parks and Kat Wright; brothers, Boone Huff,
 Shane Huff, Chris Hubert and Joe Schwerbert and a host of aunts, 
uncles, cousins and a large number of friends. He will never be 
forgotten.
