Rae 'Michelle' (Duell) Seeber

Florence L. Daubert, born on October 16, 1926, to Johan and Teresa 
Eder of Wichita County, died at Park Lane nursing home on March 11, 
2021. Like all of her generation who had long lives, she lived through 
all of the dramatic changes that the world went through - from wall 
phones and shared party lines and needing an operator to make a call to 
cellphones, from large console radios for news and entertainment to 
flat-screen televisions and the internet, from World War II and other 
armed conflicts affecting America to the current pandemic.

She had many personal tragedies during her life. Finding her dead 
father when she was still in high school to losing her husband at the 
age of 40 to losing two of her children were just some of her trials and
 tribulations. She relied on her faith and inner strength. A lifetime 
Catholic, she used her core values to pull her through those times. She 
managed to put all of her children through college so they could have 
better lives even though she had to make many financial and personal 
sacrifices along the way. She managed to accumulate many friends through
 the garden club, her church, sewing groups, and other activities. She 
loved Scott City and SCHS even though she was raised in Wichita County. 
She was her class’s valedictorian and always looked forward to class 
reunions.

On September 3, 1946, she married Edward Loyd Daubert in Scott City, 
Kansas.&nbsp; He passed away on February 8, 1967, in Scott City, Kansas.

She is survived by her children, Darrell of Pembroke Pines, Florida, 
Dan (Elaine) of Jupiter, Florida, Kenton of Greeley, Colorado, and Lisa 
Vrbin (Dan) of Love’s Park, Illinois. She is survived by six 
grandchildren and six great-grandchildren as well as many nieces and 
nephews - most notably Jeff Eder and Sharon Friedman. She was preceded 
by her parents, husband (Edward) and children Duane and Ellen Knuth, and
 all of her siblings.

Special thanks need to be made to the “church ladies,” garden club 
members, her sewing friends, the staff at Park Lane Nursing Home, Dr. 
Elizabeth Hineman, the special people who lived with her and still 
reside in the Park Lane apartments, and their caregivers, Phyllis Ruiz, 
and Connie Wright. Also, thanks to Bertha Armendariz for her help in the
 last few months of her life.

Vigil Services will be held at 7:00 p.m. Thursday, March 18, 2021, at the St. Joseph Catholic Church in Scott City, Kansas.

Memorial services will be held at 10:30 a.m. Friday, March 19, 2021, 
at the St. Joseph Catholic Church in Scott City, Kansas with Fr. 
Augustine Owusu presiding.&nbsp; Services will be streamed live on Facebook 
at Price and Sons Funeral Home page (www.facebook.com/priceandsons) 
starting at 10:25 a.m.

Inurnment will be in the Scott County Cemetery in Scott City, Kansas.

Memorials in Lieu of Flowers can be made to the Scott County 
Historical Society, St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in care of Price and 
Sons Funeral Home; PO Box 553; Scott City, Kansas, 67871.

Jean Lucille (Kendig) Charles, 105, of Republic, Kan., died Monday, 
March 8, 2021, at Parkview Haven Nursing Home in Deshler, Neb. Jean was 
born January 17, 1916 in Osborne, Kan. She was the first of two children
 born to Alvin and Angie Kendig. She graduated from Osborne High School 
in 1933, and attended Fort Hays State College for two years, earning a 
teaching certificate.

She was teaching kindergarten in Osborne in 1937 when she met Norman 
Shirley, whom she married in 1938. They moved to different states 
several times in several months for his work in the oil industry. Norman
 died in a swimming accident in 1939, and Jean returned to Osborne, 
taking a job at the U.S. Farm Security Administration office there.

Jean met Don Charles as he was passing through Osborne in 1940 and he
 stopped to visit with a mutual friend. Don stayed in Osborne that night
 due to a blizzard, and he and Jean hit it off instantly. They were 
married May 14, 1941, in Manhattan, Kan., where Don had attended school 
at Kansas State University, and Jean moved with Don to Republic, and 
Valley Point Farms, which had been in Don’s family since 1868.

Don and Jean raised three children on the farm, where Jean helped 
instill a love of reading, music, cooking and K-State. They set examples
 as community leaders by, among other things, founding the Republic 
Pioneers 4-H chapter. Jean also regularly entertained friends in her 
bridge club, and they were members of the Elks, as well as the 
Belleville (Kan.) Country Club. Jean returned to teaching elementary 
school after her children were older in community schools in Hardy, 
Republic, Sherdahl, Scandia, and Webber, and former students kept in 
touch with her frequently for years after. Upon retirement, they became 
doting and loving grandparents to five grandchildren, spending time with
 them and helping the children develop a deep appreciation for the farm 
and its history. Don and Jean also spent more than 20 years wintering 
(and golfing), in Texas, then Arizona. They spent more than 60 years 
together before Don’s death in 2002.

Jean was preceded in death by her parents, Alvin and Angie Kendig, 
her first husband, Norman Shirley, her brother, Warren Kendig, her 
husband, Donald Charles, a son, Michael Charles, a daughter, Nancy 
(Charles) Gabriel, and a grandson, Evan Charles. She is survived by her 
son, John Charles of Republic, Kan., granddaughter Christie (Petersen) 
Kairos (husband Sunny) of Portland, Ore., grandson Dane Petersen (wife 
Jill Nienhiser) of Kansas City, Mo., grandson Hayes Charles (wife Keri) 
of Coon Rapids, Iowa, granddaughter Hayley Charles of Denver, Colo., and
 four great-grandchildren. Due to COVID concerns, the family plans to 
hold a memorial service at a later date.

Memorials may be made in Jean’s name to the United Methodist Church 
of Republic and the Republic Pioneers 4-H club through Megrue-Price 
Funeral Home in Superior, Neb.
