Robert Hans “Zip” Zinszer, 81, of Tyler, Texas succumbed to cancer on Friday, June 5, 2020 surrounded by beloved family members.

He was born October 13, 1938 in San Pedro, California, the son of Richard “Dick” H. and Mildred “Mitzy” R. (Hall) Zinszer.&nbsp;

During his youth, Robert’s parents 
lived in Saudi Arabia, giving him the opportunity to attend high school 
in Rome, Italy where his experiences and escapades begot delightful 
stories cherished by his children and grandchildren. &nbsp;Also, in his youth
 and early adulthood, he spent time in Hays, Kansas, being particularly 
fond of the time he lived and worked on his Hall grandparents’ 
Sweetwater Ranch. Later he joined the military, enlisting in the United 
States Army where he served as a paratrooper with the 101st Airborne, 
stationed in Fort Campbell, Kentucky. &nbsp;It was during a weekend furlough,
 where at a Humpty Dumpty Drive-In Robert would meet his future bride, 
Margo Matlock, whom he married on April 16, 1960 in Parkers Settlement, 
Indiana. &nbsp;After leaving his service in the U.S. Army, he later graduated
 from Fort Hays State University.

Prior to moving to Tyler, Texas in 
2018, Robert and Margo lived in Pocatello, Idaho for 31 years. &nbsp;In 1994 
he retired from the U.S. Department of Agriculture as an Assistant State
 Conservationist, concluding a 30-year career in the Soil Conservation 
Service. &nbsp;Other locations he served and lived during his career were the
 Kansas communities of Smith Center, Greensburg, Osborne, Strong City, 
and Emporia, as well as Carbondale, Illinois.

An avid gun enthusiast, fisherman, and 
ham-radio operator, Robert was also a card player with a special 
fondness for cribbage, poker, and “hand &amp; foot”. Robert especially 
enjoyed motorcycling and camping and was a frequent visitor to 
Yellowstone National Park and its surrounding area of which he often 
described the landscape as “good-looking country”. &nbsp;His love for this 
area led him and Margo to build their Zinszer Family Cabin outside of 
Island Park, Idaho in 1994, a place where they made lasting memories 
with family and friends.

Survivors include his loving wife of 60
 years; Margo L. Zinszer of Tyler, TX, two sons; Randy Zinszer and wife 
Cheryl of Flower Mound, TX, and Shawn Zinszer and wife Kori of 
Jacksonville, FL, a daughter; Kimberly Stapp and husband Gary of Tyler, 
TX, seven grandchildren; Lacey Stapp, Taylor Stapp and wife Jessie, 
Riley Zinszer, Carly Zinszer, Brennan Zinszer, Dallon Zinszer, and 
Kelsey Zinszer, and two brothers; Kendal Zinszer and wife Judy of 
Anderson, IN, and Kim Zinszer of Hays, Kansas.

He was preceded in death by his 
parents, his grandparents; Professor Harvey A. and Laura M. 
(Laudenslager) Zinszer and Robert L. and Edith (Irwin) Hall, and his 
sister Toni Kay Zinszer.

Graveside services will be at 9:00 am 
on Saturday, May 29, 2021 in Mt. Allen Cemetery, Hays, with military 
honors by the Hays VFW Honor Guard Post #9076.&nbsp; Memorials are suggested

Home, 1906 Pine Street, Hays, Kansas.&nbsp; Condolences and memories of 
Robert may be shared with the family at www.haysmemorial.com

 was the third of four children born to George Earl Bishop and Anna 
(Schremmer) Bishop. Helen grew up in Beaver, Kansas and 
graduated from St. Joseph’s Catholic school there.&nbsp;&nbsp; Her father accepted
 a job in Holyrood, KS and the family relocated there in 1941.&nbsp; In 
Holyrood she met her future husband Dale Dane Durr.&nbsp; They were married 
August 19, 1947 in the St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Holyrood, KS.&nbsp; In 
March 1948 they moved to the Durr farm home located 2 miles south, 3 
miles east and ¾ mile south of Smith Center, KS in Crystal Plains 
Township, Smith County, KS.&nbsp; Their son Dan Dale Durr was born in 1950 
and son Douglas Don Durr was born in 1954.&nbsp; The boys attended rural 
Pleasant Dale School until their 3rd (Douglas) and 7th (Dan) grades.&nbsp; In
 1962 the family moved their rural home to 310 Park Street, Smith 
Center, KS.&nbsp; Helen worked part time at Stevenson’s Men’s Clothing Store 
and for 22 years at Chandler’s and Weltmer Livestock Auction office. 
 After 48 years together, Dale, Helen’s love, friend and life partner, 
passed away on March 17, 1996.&nbsp; Helen and Dale loved the time spent with
 friends playing cards, dancing and visiting.&nbsp; After Dale’s death Helen 
greatly missed the social times with other couples.&nbsp; Helen loved people 
and she was involved in many social groups.&nbsp; She was a charter member of
 St. Mary’s Catholic Church and Altar Society.&nbsp; Some of her social clubs
 included Golden Oldies, Silver Needle, Garden Lore Club (for 57 years 
in 2019), card clubs of bridge, pitch and pinochle.&nbsp; She enjoyed her 
hobbies of crocheting and jigsaw puzzles.&nbsp; Helen organized the Red Hat 
chapter in Smith Center in June 2004. In 2009, Helen moved 
from her home at 310 Park Street to the new Smith Estates apartments in 
Smith Center.&nbsp; She was very happy there and made many new friends.&nbsp; 
Helen was always so grateful to her many young friends who helped her to
 enjoy the many activities during her “golden years.” She was
 preceded in death by her parents, brothers, Lawrence and Julius Bishop,
 sister Ethel Driscoll and grandson David Dane Durr.&nbsp; A seven carnation 
bouquet has been placed on her casket in colors of 3 red, 3 white and 1 
blue in memory of the deceased members of her immediate family.

 smiling down on all of us as she sends her love and blessings to each 
and every one. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at

Paula
 Lynne (Elder) Anderson died at the age of 68, at her home in Birch 
Tree, Missouri on May 17, 2021. She was born October 11, 1952, in 
Salina, Kansas to Frank and Jean (Little) Elder, where she grew up 
amongst a family of eight and was known as that spunky brown-eyed, 
brown-haired beauty in braids. She attended Fort Hays University after 
graduating from Salina High, class of 1970.

She
 married Clayton Anderson on March 27, 1981, and they lived in Smolan, 
Kansas before moving to rural Missouri. She was mom to Jennifer Jean 
Anderson and Ryan Franklin Anderson, whom she loved dearly. Her true 
passion was her love and devotion to her two grandchildren, Lucas and 
Serena.

Lynne
 mastered her studies of genealogy and took her knowledge of family and 
local history “on the road.”&nbsp; She often spoke at National Genealogy 
Conferences and conducted well-attended and fun re-enactments of 
characters in our family and other more well-known personalities. 
Especially memorable was her true-to-life presentation of our 
great-grandmother Weems, sunbonnet and all.

Additionally,
 she was an accomplished seamstress and quilter, sharing with family and
 friends her works of art. Above all, Lynne will be remembered for her 
quick, off the wall, sense of humor! Her antics and ability to invoke 
laughter in those around her, her candid vision, love of life, 
adventures, and misadventures will be treasured and missed always.

Lynne is preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Jean Elder; and two brothers, Grady and Lyle Elder.

She
 is survived by her husband, Clayton; two children; two grandchildren; 
two sisters, Faye (Marvin) Clements, Carol (Rick) Doran; one brother, 
Bryan (Pam) Elder; and in addition to a multitude of nieces, nephews, 
and cousins.

There
 will be a benefit in memory of Lynne on June 12, 2021, at the Winsome 
Plantation Venue. Food will be served from 4-6:00 p.m. with an auction 
and quilt raffle to follow. Proceeds will go towards outstanding medical
 and funeral costs. Donations of food, auction items, or money will be 
handled by Trista Smotherman Thomas. A family gathering will be held 
later in the summer. Cremation arrangements were under the direction of 
Yarber Mortuary, Birch Tree. Condolences may be expressed at 
www.yarbermortuary.com.

Warren Dale Bushnell, 77, of Wilson, Kansas, died on Friday, May 14, 2021, at the Ellsworth County Medical Center in Ellsworth, Kansas.

Warren was born on November 9, 1943, in Smith Center, Kansas, the son of John W. and Lucy Emma (Westbrook) Bushnell. He grew up in Agra, Kansas, and graduated from Agra High School in 1962. During his time in high school, he set many track records, some of which still stand. He was united in marriage to Linda Marie LoVette on April 13, 1973, in Lewis, Kansas.&nbsp; He was a farmer and rancher for many years until he started driving a truck. He drove for Baldwin Trucking for over 30 years, earning several awards.&nbsp; He enjoyed tinkering with small engines and car engines, spending time outdoors gardening, doing lawn work, and fishing. Most of all in his later years in life he enjoyed spending time with his family. Warren always had a cheesy joke to tell, and what made them even funnier was his big ol’ belly laugh after getting to the punchline. He was the self-proclaimed town monitor; slowly cruising the streets to see who was out and what they were doing. He was great at giving free advice, whether asked for or not; and would tell anyone who would listen about how things were going to change, BIG TIME. He also was not afraid to tell you when he thought you were wrong then follow it up with that same big belly laugh.

Surviving family include his wife Linda and dog Rosie of the home, son Darren Bushnell and wife Billie Jo, daughter Korina McHugh, son Dustin Bushnell; daughters Michelle Baker and husband Troy of Wheeless, Oklahoma, and Sherri Hawkins of Wilson, Kansas; daughter-in-law Connie Werner of Spearman, Texas; brother Gary Eller; sister Ellen Adee; and many cousins, nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents; daughter Monica Pineda; son Eric Werner; brothers Ray and Earl Bushnell and sister Gloria Babcock.

A memorial service to celebrate Warren’s life will be held at 10:30 A.M. on Monday, May 24, 2021 at the Pohlman-Varner-Peeler Mortuary in Russell, Kansas.&nbsp; Visitation will be from noon to 6 P.M. on Sunday, May 23, 2021, at the mortuary with family greeting guests from 3 P. M. to 6 P.M. Sunday afternoon.&nbsp; Cremation has been selected by the family. A private family burial will take place at the Agra Cemetery at a later date. Memorials may be sent in care of Mosaic of Ellsworth, Kansas, 124 W. 3rd, Ellsworth, Kansas 67439. Pohlman-Varner-Peeler Mortuary of Russell, Kansas, is in charge of the funeral service arrangements.

Reva G. Eicher passed away&nbsp;peacefully&nbsp;at&nbsp;Harry Hynes Hospice in Via Christi St. Francis, Wichita, Kansas&nbsp;at the age of&nbsp;74.

Reva Eicher&nbsp;was born&nbsp;to&nbsp;Wayne and Irma Deeds on&nbsp;April 19, 1947, in&nbsp;Goodland, KS.&nbsp;

She&nbsp;graduated from&nbsp;Brewster High&nbsp;in&nbsp;1965&nbsp;and then attended Fort Hays 
State University in Retail Merchandising.&nbsp;Reva&nbsp;married&nbsp;Jon Eicher her 
high school sweetheart, on September 1, 1966.

After moving back from Manhattan, KS. Jon and Reva&nbsp;began farming 15 
miles North of Brewster, Kansas. On October 13, 1967, the couple 
welcomed&nbsp;their daughter, Michele into their family.&nbsp;Two years later, on 
June 16, 1969, Reva and Jon welcomed their first son, Rick Eicher, into 
their family, and their second son Pete Eicher on March 6,1972.&nbsp; Reva 
was very instrumental in sharing the Gospel with her children and making
 sure that Christ was the center of the family.

Reva&nbsp;was a woman of many talents, as she had to be independent and 
resourceful as a farmer’s wife. Besides the day-to-day activities of 
cooking, cleaning, and laundry, she learned to drive tractors and 
trucks, and work cattle.&nbsp; Once Jon and Reva left the farm she wore many 
more hats, such as Optometry and Dental assistant, Retail Liquidator, 
Bed and Breakfast Host and acquired her CNA. However, her gift was in 
decorating and landscaping that was soon recognized in the community, as
 her gift was requested by many.

Reva&nbsp;was a&nbsp;bubbly spirit that would always encourage others.&nbsp; She 
loved&nbsp;to sing and glorify God&nbsp;and she was passionate about&nbsp;sharing the 
Gospel of Christ with everyone she encountered. Reva&nbsp;was instrumental in
 starting Brewster Full Gospel Church, and often volunteered on many 
platforms no matter what church she was attending.

Reva&nbsp;is preceded in death by&nbsp;her parents Wayne and Irma Deeds

Reva&nbsp;is survived by&nbsp;her husband Jon Wayne Eicher, her daughter 
Michele Preston, Beeville, TX, her sons Rick (Stacey) Eicher McKinney,

(Tosha), Tate Preston, Benjamin Eicher, Kennedy Eicher, Carson Eicher,
