Longtime Lakin resident George Hogan died peacefully at his home July
 22, 2021. At the time of his death he was surrounded by his wife, his 4
 children, 8 grandchildren, and 8 great grandchildren. 
 George, and wife Judy ran a dog boarding business south of Lakin, 
called Toyland Kennels, for many years. George cherished the 
relationships he developed with his customers and missed them after his 
retirement. 
 He was born to Geroge Hogan Sr and Beulah (Wolfe) Hogan on April 
26, 1941 in Cheyenne Wells Colorado. He was at home with his parents, 
one sister, Emma Rose, and one brother TIm in Kit Carson, Colorado. 
 George started his working career on the family ranch in Kit 
Carson. After college, George taught school for many years, then worked
 at Colorado Interstate Gas until his retirement in 1999. 
 He married Judy Bethel on August 20, 1964, and they had 4 children.
 George and Judy were also parents to countless foster children over the
 years. Many of their foster children remain in contact with them to 
this day. 
 George was an avid sports fan. He loved his Denver Broncos, and he 
loved Jayhawk basketball. He was a successful wrestling coach. He has 
continued to keep in contact with many of his wrestlers over the years. 
 He enjoyed woodworking, and before his illness he loved playing golf, 
but the thing George loved most in life was his family. He spent many a 
weekend traveling to a grandchild's wrestling tournament, basketball 
game, Cross country meet, or football game, or playing the guitar with 
his grandsons. It didn’t matter the activity if he had a kid or grandkid
 participating, he was there. George also loved people and never knew a 
stranger. And finally George loved the Lord. The Church played a big 
part in his life. He was a musician and played music regularly during 
church services. 
 George is survived by his loving family which includes; wife Judy 
of the home, three daughters Melanie Anderson and her partner Todd Angel
 of Lakin, Valerie Wilken and her husband Mikell of Scott CIty, and 
Tracy Kennedy and her husband Bobby of Lakin, one son, James Hogan and 
his partner Allie Knoll of Holcomb, his eight grandchildren Zack 
Anderson and his wife Samantha, Nichole Ames and husband Carson, Brittni
 Martinez and husband Jullian, Alex Andereson and wife Kacey, Maddison 
Schneider and husband Tyson, Trevor Kennedy and fiance Ella Sherwood, 
Hunter Kennedy and fiance Courtney Schneider, and last but certainly not
 least, the apple of the families eye Indie Hogan-Knoll, his eight great
 grandchildren, Hadleigh Ames, Beckam Ames, Emytt Martinez, Bellameigh 
Martinez, Oaklynn Schnieder, Copelan Kennedy, Charlie Seal and Hendrix 
Anderson. He is also guardian Angel to two little ones yet to make an 
appearance, his brother Tim Hogan and wife Jan and their family, 
sister-in-law Linda Offill and her family, brother and sister-in-law 
Keith and Deb Nidey and their family, brother and sister-in-law Max and

Wanda
 Jean (Deges) Thyfault-Thummel of Hays, Kansas died Monday, July 12, 
2021, at age 72, at the Santa Marta Plaza Health Services in Olathe, 
Kansas.&nbsp; She was born March 2, 1949, to Leonard and Dorothea (Engel) 
Deges and grew up on the family farm by Grainfield, Kansas.&nbsp; She married
 Clarence Thyfault on August 8, 1972 in Grainfield, and from this union 
their son, John Phillip was born.&nbsp; Clarence preceded her in death on May
 28, 1979. Then Wanda married Ralph Thummel on June 5, 1987, in Hays, 
Kansas.&nbsp; He preceded her in death on March 4, 2021.

Wanda graduated from Grainfield Rural High School in 1967, before 
earning her bachelor’s degree in sociology and elementary education in 
1971, graduating with honors from Marymount College in Salina, Kansas.&nbsp; 
She then obtained a master’s degree in elementary education in 1972, 
from Fort Hays State University Hays, Kansas.

Wanda had a 34-year career as an elementary school teacher in both 3rd 
and&nbsp; 5th grade.&nbsp; She began her career as a 3rd grade teacher at St. 
Joseph’s Parochial School in Hays where she taught from 1971 to1973, 
before moving to Plainville where she taught 5th grade from 1976 to 
2005, (except one year of 3rd grade).&nbsp; Mrs. “T”, as students called her,
 possessed excellent teaching skills, knowledge and experience which 
were recognized when she received the Teacher of the Year Award in 
Plainville in 1989, and by regularly being nominated for honors by 
former students.&nbsp; She was the favorite teacher of many students in 
Plainville and was regularly thanked by her former students for changing
 their lives.&nbsp; Mrs. “T” had a passion for teaching that was unmatched, 
caring deeply for each child, and striving to coax the most out of each 
child’s unique abilities.&nbsp; She combined toughness and high expectations 
with love and sincerity in a manner that helped students blossom.

After retirement, Wanda enjoyed outings with her friends, spending time 
with family (visiting and playing cards), reading current events and 
novels, knitting and completing numerous counted cross stitch projects.&nbsp;
 Wanda loved her family very much and was a textbook of family history 
and facts. &nbsp;Also, Wanda enjoyed sharing highlights about her son’s
