Grace Kum Chun Ho-Heim of San Diego passed away on March 26, 2021. Born on Sept. 10, 1939, in Singapore, she was the youngest child and only daughter of Say Yew Ho and Choi Peng Lee.

She grew up in Singapore and attended grade and high school there. She graduated from St. Anthony’s Convent School. After graduation, she attended Teacher’s Training College and spent several years teaching in Singapore. In the early 1970’s she began a new journey coming to the United States for more education. She came with deep faith knowing that since she could speak English she would be successful. Grace earned a bachelor’s degree at Westminster Choir College in Princeton, New Jersey in music education. After earning this degree, she attended the University of Kansas in Lawrence and graduated with a master’s degree in special education. She ended up in Hoxie, Kansas, where she taught children with learning disabilities. Here she met her future husband, Bill Heim, and they were married for nearly 25 years.

After the Kansas experience, she returned to teach in Singapore for a year. While there she was instrumental in bringing her mother to accept Christ as her Lord and Savior.

She returned to Kansas for another year of teaching before moving to San Diego in 1986. She taught special education and music for many years in the San Diego Unified School District. Assignments began at Florence Elementary, then on to Juarez Elementary and Terrasanta Elementary. Her final assignment was at Doyle Elementary. She retired in 2010. Grace had a beautiful soprano voice and enjoyed singing and playing the piano. She also enjoyed traveling, knitting, attending Bible Study classes, and visiting family and friends.

Sharing Christ with others and leading them to eternal salvation were a top priority for Grace. Family was also very important. She brought many of her nieces and nephews to a saving knowledge of Christ. She would gather them and bring them to weekly Sunday School classes at Wesley Methodist Church while in Singapore. She gifted her family by continually praying daily for them. She was always willing and ready to sacrifice for their well-being.

Doralyn Ann (Gasper) Dubbert, 95, Cawker City, Kan., died Dec. 4, 2020, while under the care of the staff at the Hays Med-The University of Kansas Health Center, Hays. &nbsp;Doralyn was born November 25, 1925, in Tipton, the 12th child of Frank and Mary Gasper.

Funeral Mass will be at 10 a.m. Saturday at St. Boniface Catholic Church in Tipton.

Doralyn received her education at the Holy Corner Catholic School, Tipton. Upon entry, it was necessary for her to learn English since only German was spoken at home. She was a very bright and articulate individual, with an amazing memory unto her death. 

As a yong woman, she worked for several family members after her graduation, honing her cookig and homemaking skills. Doralyn met her lifelong mate, Gerald C. Dubbert, in Tipton. &nbsp;

After two years of dating, they married on June 17, 1947. &nbsp;Together she and Gerald undertook a farming, cattle and hog operation along Oak Creek in Mitchell County,&nbsp; and years later, in 1967, they moved to her current residence in rural Down, because of their displacement due to the construction of Waconda Lake Reservoir.

Gerald and Doralyn celebrated 52 years of marriage together prior to Gerald's passing in May 2000.

Doralyn's focus was always her beloved family. She was a devoted wife and mother. As a homemaker/farm wife, she was an excellent cook and seamstress. While she enjoyed baking and gardening, her loves were dancing, sewing, flower gardening and embroidery work. She never had an idol hand. Travel became a highlight later in life with Gerald as they journeyed to various Navy&nbsp;reunions across the country. Bringing her family together for gatherings was always her greatest priority!

Doralyn was a member of the St. Mary's Catholic Church, Downs. Her faith and belief in God was the founding premise for how she lived life. &nbsp;She was involved in a variety of volunteer work activities, including assistance to the St. Mary's Altar Society, the Cancer Society and the VFW Auxiliary in Beloit. She was often called upon to bake her famous pies for local funerals and civic meetings.

Doralyn was truly a beautiful woman inside and out. Her kind and caring heart was evident to all that she met. Friends often commented on her sweet and gentle spirit; and likewise, complimented her on her meticulous appearance and sense of style and grace. She was truly a great listener while quietly maintaining a fun&nbsp;sense of humor!

The most appreciative of her life of strength and sacrifice were her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She is survived by: Steve Dubbert, Cawker City, Rodney Dubbert (Renee), Johnstown, Colo., Debby Loy (Wally), Barnard, Darla J. Fuertges (Don-deceased), Hays, Carolyn McDaneld (Kenny), Wellington; seven grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Gerald; her parents; seven brothers; and four sisters; a great-grandchild, Colten Christopher Dubbert and numerous nieces and nephews.

Neil Harmon Fischer peacefully passed away, surrounded by the people he 
loved, on Sunday, May 23, 2021 at Kearney Regional Medical Center in 
Kearney, Nebraska, at the age of 86. 

He was born on February 28, 1935 
in Plainville, Kansas to the late Nicholas and Beatrice (Kaba) Fischer. 
 On October 3, 1954 he was united in marriage to Doris Miller in Radium,
 Kansas. They were blessed with two daughters, Nalisha and Crystal.
 Neil’s life revolved around staying busy, working hard for his 
family, and serving his friends, neighbors, and community. He held 
several jobs throughout his lifetime, including selling magazines for 
Cappers Reader’s Service, laboring at the local meat locker, working as 
an electrician and carpenter, but mostly tending to the farm while 
building his reputable certified wheat seed business known as Fischer’s 
Finest Field Seeds. 
 Neil was an integral part of the community and instrumental in many 
of the organizations he belonged to. He served as President of the 
Rooks County Historical Society for several years, Director for the 
Civil Defense Department in Plainville, was a faithful member of the 
Jaycees Community Betterment Program, part of the Plainville Rescue 
Squad for over 50 years, worked on the “Chain Gang” for hometown 
Cardinal football games, and was on the Plainville Township Board until 
he passed away. He continued to work until he physically was no longer 
able, and even from his hospital bed, he made calls, checked on 
projects, and was in touch with fellow laborers up to the very last day 
of his life. That alone speaks volumes to the type of man he was and 
the character he possessed.
 In his earlier years, Neil enjoyed hunting, and later in life he 
discovered his love for gardening, woodworking, and baking. He was 
always very proud of his rhubarb cobblers and made sure to supply them 
for friends and loved ones no matter the occasion. And although he led a
 very busy life, he always made sure to make plenty of time for those he
 loved the most, his family and friends. He was a very loving and 
compassionate man that treated everyone equally. He cared for his 
family with an unmet love and was always checking in on them. 
 Neil was also a very gentle man and was kind to every animal and 
person he met. He certainly held a very special love for his little 
furry friend, Chip, who kept him company after his long days of hard 
work. He was truly devoted to his work, family, and all those around 
him, with a never-ending, never-tiring love.
 Neil is survived by his two loving daughters, Nalisha Cotter of 
Littleton CO, and Crystal (Ward) Craig of Russell; four grandchildren, 
Jennifer (Chad) Hopkins, Eric (Lauren) Cotter, Calder Craig and Kiefer 
Craig; two great-grandchildren, Aibhilin Hopkins and Malachi Hopkins; 
his honorary Czech granddaughter Kate (Martin) Martykanova and 
great-grandchildren Adeina and Hynek; and his loving companion Vivian 
Humphrey.
 He was preceded in death by his parents, Nicholas and Beatrice 
(Kaba) Fischer; wife, Doris Fischer; and his sister Jacqueline (Don) 
Prickett. 
 A Funeral Service will be held on Friday, May 28, 2021 at the First 
Christian Church in Plainville at 2 PM. A Visitation will be held on 
Thursday at the church from 2 PM until 8 PM with family receiving 
friends from 5PM until 7PM. 
 Memorials are suggested to the Rooks County Historical Society and 
may be sent in care of Plumer-Overlease Funeral Home, 320 SW 2nd St., 
Plainville, KS 67663.

Howard was born January 28,1935 on a farmstead north of Arnold, 
Kansas to Everett and Jessie (Charles) Haug. Howard passed away 
peacefully in his sleep on May 22, 2021.

They moved to Gravette, Arkansas during his very young years then 
moved back to Kansas to a farm north of Arnold where he attended country
 school. He loved to spend his time riding his bicycle, hunting, and 
fishing.

He'd always bring his 'catch' home no matter how awful. From coyotes 
to skunks to raccoons and many other wild creatures, much to his 
mother’s chagrin!

Howard married Rosanna Herrman October 21, 1956 at Ness, Kansas. To 
this union were born three children; Diane, Howard Jr., and Philip. 
Howard and Rosanna lived all over southeast Kansas in their early years 
together before settling in Garden City where they stayed for over 40 
years. Howard worked as the Yard Supervisor at Cash and Carry Lumber for
 40 plus years and Rosanna worked as a nurse at St. Catherines' Hospital
 for 20 years. Howard loved to spend his weekends deer hunting at his 
cabin in Trego County.

Howard and Rosanna retired to Ransom Kansas where they spent their 
last 20+ years together. He spent his time in retirement out at his 
cabin, hunting, raising cattle, planting big gardens of potatoes, 
vegetables, wheat, cane, and pumpkins which he loved to share with all 
the town folks.

He also raised burros for several years and even won first place in the Old Settler's Parade with his burros.

Howard loved his family and fed them well. Howard took very good care
 of his wife Ann, he cooked for her and helped her with daily tasks. He 
was a generous and kindhearted man who always helped someone when they 
needed a helping hand. One of his many joys was feeding all his 
grandkids when they'd come to visit. He will always be remembered for 
his famous Angus beef cheeseburgers and home-made pancakes.

Howard is preceded in death by both parents, brothers Kenneth and Dallas Haug, son Phil and daughter-in-law Sheila Haug,

Howard is survived by his wife Rosanna of 64 years, daughter Diane 
and her husband Mitch Keim, son Howard (Sonny) Jr. and wife Cheryl Haug,
 9 grandchildren, 26 great grandchildren, and 4 great-great 
grandchildren.

Cremation has taken place and small private memorial for the family will follow at a later date.

Memorial contributions may be given to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Doralyn Ann (Gasper) Dubbert, 95, Cawker City, KS, died December 4, 
2020, while under the care of the staff at the Hays Med-The University 
of Kansas Health Center, Hays, KS. &nbsp;Doralyn was born November 25, 1925, 
in Tipton, KS, the 12th child of Frank &amp; Mary Gasper.

Doralyn received her education at the Holy Corner Catholic School, 
Tipton, KS. &nbsp;Upon entry, it was necessary for her to learn English since
 only German was spoken at home. &nbsp;She was a very bright &amp; articulate
 individual, with an amazing memory unto her death. &nbsp;As a yong woman, 
she worked for several family members after her graduation, honing her 
cookig &amp; homemaking skills. &nbsp;Doralyn met her lifelong mate, Gerald 
C. Dubbert, in Tipton, KS. &nbsp;After 2 years of dating, they married on 
June 17, 1947. &nbsp;Together she &amp; Gerald undertook a farming, cattle, 
&amp; hog operation along Oak Creek in Mitchell County, KS, &amp; years 
later, in 1967, they moved to her current residence in rural Downs, KS, 
because of their displacement due to the construction of Waconda Lake 
Reservoir. &nbsp;Gerald &amp; Doralyn celebrated 52 years of marriage 
together prior to Gerald's passing in May 2000.

Doralyn's focus was always her beloved family. &nbsp;She was a devoted 
wife &amp; mother. &nbsp;As a homemaker/farm wife, she was an excellent cook 
&amp; seamstress. &nbsp;While she enjoyed baking and gardening, her loves 
were dancing, sewing, flower gardening, &amp; embroidery work. &nbsp;She 
never had an idol hand. &nbsp;Travel became a highlight later in life with 
Gerald as they journeyed to various Navy&nbsp;reunions across the country. 
&nbsp;Bringing her family together for gatherings was always her greatest 
priority!

Doralyn was a member of the St. Mary's Catholic Church, Downs, KS. 
&nbsp;Her faith &amp; belief in God was the founding premise for how she 
lived life. &nbsp;She was involved in a variety of volunteer work activities,
 including assistance to the St. Mary's Altar Society, the Cancer 
Society, &amp; the VFW Auxiliary in Beloit, KS.&nbsp; She was often called 
upon to bake her famous pies for local funerals &amp; civic meetings.

Doralyn was truly a beautiful woman inside &amp; out. &nbsp;Her kind &amp;
 caring heart was evident to all that she met. &nbsp;Friends often commented 
on her sweet &amp; gentle spirit; &amp; likewise, complimented her on 
her meticulous appearance &amp; sense of style &amp; grace. &nbsp;She was 
truly a great listener while quietly maintaining a fun&nbsp;sense of humor!

The most appreciative of her life of strength &amp; sacrifice were 
her children, grandchildren &amp; great-grandchildren. &nbsp;She is survived 
by: Steve Dubbert, Cawker City, Rodney Dubbert (Renee), Johnstown, CO, 
Debby Loy (Wally), Barnard, Darla J. Fuertges (Don-deceased), Hays, 
Carolyn McDaneld (Kenny), Wellington; 7 grandchildren, &amp; 13 great 
grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Gerald; her parents; 7 
brothers; &amp; 4 sisters; a great-grandchild, Colten Christopher 
Dubbert, &amp; numerous nieces &amp; nephews.

Kenneth Ray Blough Jr., 85, died Thursday May 20, 2021, at Parklane 
Nursing home in Scott City, Kansas. He was born June 7, 1935, in Somerset
 County, Pennsylvania, the son of Kenneth Ray Sr. and Neva Dorothy 
(Rose) Blough. On June 12, 1959, Emily Lucille Stutzman, the pretty girl
 he had whistled at outside Ripple’s Ice Cream became his wife, a union 
of 61 years. 
Ray grew up in the mountains of Pennsylvania where he started his career
 as a truck driver. His first job being the driver of a 1955 97 
horsepower White 9000 pulling a 30 foot flatbed loaded down with silica 
firebrick for the steel mills; back when the push trucks with glowing 
red smokestacks were a persons only way up the mountainside. Ray had a 
strong work ethic, while working harvest he drove a cab-less gleaner 
combine with a 16 ft. draper head and his boss at the time kindly gave 
him a net to wear over his head with a fistful of cigars to keep the 
mosquitoes away. When the steel mills went on strike Ray just couldn’t 
stand the thought of sitting around, so he came to Kansas knowing he 
could find work, and a hard worker he was. Ray and Lucy settled in 
Shallow Water and after working for different farmers in the area he ran
 the Collingwood Grain, Inc. He then went to run the fleet of trucks out
 of the old Centry 21 refinery between Scott City and Garden City.These 
were also the days when the old stationary oil Derrick's of the Nun Oil 
Pool filled the sky's.When he needed more trucks to haul crude oil, this
 is when he met Gene Hibbs of GroendykeTransportation and became very 
good friends. In the early 80’s he and Lucy moved to Leoti, where they 
owned and operated Jack’s Restaurant. The two of them made quite the 
pair and became a highly sought after Trucking Duo. In Ray’s time as a 
driver with Groendyke he received an award for over one million miles 
safe driving and more so in his time with National Carriers not only did
 he receive an award for over three million miles safe driving he and 
Lucy were a Priority Team, often times dropping their own load to dead 
head across the US to finish a job for someone else and meet a scheduled
 deadline. 
Ray was a prayer warrior for and with his friends from Full Gospel Men's
 Fellowship, Prairie View Church at Friend, Ks and here in Leoti, 
Transports for Christ international and sometimes in the middle of the 
night. He had hosts of friends. He was true patriot and loved America 
having served in both the Army and National Guard. He was a friend to 
all and lived by the Ten Commandments maybe even adding in one or two of
 his own. He enjoyed music and would just sit and listen as Lucy played 
the organ in the back room. He loved his community and wanted to make 
sure the kids always had a safe place to be kids and have fun. Ray 
served not only as President but also is one of the 9 founders of the 
Wichita County Amusement Association that still to this day affords kids
 that opportunity. 
Ray is survived by his Wife- Lucy of the home; Children- Renee Louise 
(Rick) Gilmore of Leoti, Wilfred Wayne (Jennie Van Dyke) Blough of 
Nacogdoches, Texas, and Clifford Ray Blough of Leoti; Grandchildren- 
Benjamin (Kayln Roberts) Blough of San Antonio, Texas, Katherine Blough 
of Nacogdoches, Texas, and Jeff Gilmore of Terry, Mississippi; Brother- 
William Charles (Lois Kuchera) Blough of Yucca Valley, California; 
Sister-in-Law- Maria Blough of Gallop, New Mexico; Nieces and Nephews- 
Polly Blough of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Jenna Blough (Ryan Jones) of 
Los Angeles, California, Marcy (Kip) Dawkins of Richmond, Virginia; as 
well as three great nieces and nephews. 
Ray was preceded in death by his Parents, Brother- Alvin Blough, and Nephew- J.J. Blough.

were also the days when the old stationary oil Derrick's of the Nun Oil 
Pool filled the sky's.When he needed more trucks to haul crude oil, this
 is when he met Gene Hibbs of GroendykeTransportation and became very 
good friends. In the early 80’s he and Lucy moved to Leoti, where they 
owned and operated Jack’s Restaurant. The two of them made quite the 
pair and became a highly sought after Trucking Duo. In Ray’s time as a 
driver with Groendyke he received an award for over one million miles 
safe driving and more so in his time with National Carriers not only did
 he receive an award for over three million miles safe driving he and 
Lucy were a Priority Team, often times dropping their own load to dead 
head across the US to finish a job for someone else and meet a scheduled
 deadline. 
Ray was a prayer warrior for and with his friends from Full Gospel Men's
 Fellowship, Prairie View Church at Friend, Ks and here in Leoti, 
Transports for Christ international and sometimes in the middle of the 
night. He had hosts of friends. He was true patriot and loved America 
having served in both the Army and National Guard. He was a friend to 
all and lived by the Ten Commandments maybe even adding in one or two of
 his own. He enjoyed music and would just sit and listen as Lucy played 
the organ in the back room. He loved his community and wanted to make 
sure the kids always had a safe place to be kids and have fun. Ray 
served not only as President but also is one of the 9 founders of the

trapping. He also was an avid sports fan, especially football and 
baseball, keeping up with all teams. Donald played baseball and 
basketball on the town teams for many years after his school years.

Donald’s biggest pride and joy are his son Dean and daughter-in-law
