Darrell Thrasher passed away on Wednesday, February 3, 2021, at the 
Wilson Care and Rehabilitation Center in Wilson, KS, at the age of 84. 
Darrell was born to Jean and Dorothy (McGee) Thrasher in Hutchinson, KS 
on March 6, 1936. On February 2, 1969, Darrell was united in marriage to
 Jeannie (Meador) Thrasher, and to this union Shawn, Pat, and Jennifer 
were born.
 Darrell was raised primarily in Arlington, KS. He graduated from 
Arlington High School with the Class of 1954. He continued his education
 at Hutchinson Community College for 2 years, then attended Emporia 
State Teachers College where he obtained his teaching certificate and a 
Master’s Degree. In 1958 he began his teaching career in Wilson. In 
1973 his family moved to Harper, KS where he taught Jr. High Math for 4 
years. He then moved back to Wilson where he taught any and all classes 
and coached multiple sports. He retired in 1998 from teaching but 
decided to work part-time at the school until his official retirement in
 2012. In 1991, he took the job of City Municipal Judge in Wilson, 
serving almost 29 years and having to retire in 2020. Outside of his 
passion for teaching, he enjoyed fishing and camping at the lake with 
his family and friends, he enjoyed nature, taking care of his plants, 
and painting houses in the summertime. Darrell enjoyed animals too, 
especially his dog Sammi. Darrell belonged to the United Methodist 
Church and was a part of the Wilson and Ellsworth Masons for many years 
as well as the Wilson Lions Club.
 As Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “The function of education is to 
teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence 
plus character – that is the goal of true education.” Mr. Thrasher left a
 permanent mark on his students and athletes with his kindness, 
patience, and guidance.
 He is survived by his wife, Jeannie Thrasher of the home; children, 
Shawn (Scott Farthing) Thrasher of Anaheim, CA, Pat Thrasher of Wilson, 
KS, and Jennifer (Bruce) Thomas of Silver Lake, KS; brothers, Don 
Thrasher of Jetmore, KS, Dean (Becky) Thrasher of St. John, KS, and

(Hunter) Ingham, Kami Thrasher, Taegan Thrasher, Kaiden Thomas, and 
Tyler Thomas; and one great-grandchild, Granger Ingham with another on 
the way. Many nieces and nephews and cousins.

 Visitation will be held on Tuesday, February 9, 2021, at the Wilson 
High School Gymnasium from 4PM until 8PM. Private family services will

 October 28, 1947, Irene and James were married at the Saint Bernard

functions.
 Irene was a loving wife and mother. She was an excellent cook and 
homemaker. She loved her beautiful flower gardens, and at each home in 
which she lived, she always had a cactus garden. Her greatest pride was 
her family, her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
 She joins her husband, James, of 58 years; her parents, Frank and 
Albina; two sisters, Helen Mickulecky and Leona Scantland; along with 
numerous relatives and friends who are in God’s home.
 Surviving Irene are her children, Juliana and Rick Sursa of

with numerous nieces and nephews. 
 The family wishes to say a special thank you to Dr. Rick Siewert and
 the nurses and staff of Hospice of Ochiltree General Hospital in 
Perryton, Tx.

Marg Byerley passed away in peace on February 1, 2021 in Mission, KS 
at the age of 87. Marg was born to Conrad and Florence Schumacher on 
June 15, 1933 in Catherine Township, KS. She graduated from Hays High in
 1951. Marg married Thomas James Byerley at St. Joseph Catholic Church 
in Hays, KS on December 29, 1951. They enjoyed 54 years of marriage. Tom
 preceded Marg in death passing on June 27, 2006.  Tom and Marg moved to
 Kansas City in 1957 and to Mission in 1959. They were members of St. 
Pius X Catholic Church in Mission. Marg worked for the dental practice 
of Bruce Evans, DDS located in Fairway, KS for 25 years.

In retirement, Marg and Tom enjoyed a love of
 travel. They traveled to Europe, Mexico, Canada  and throughout the 
country including driving all the way from Kansas to Alaska, not once 
but twice. For many years, during the late summer, they traveled to 
Canada to fish with friends. Marg and Tom were avid dancers and belonged
 to the Merry Mixers Square Dance Club.  

Marg is survived by her sister Linda K. 
Staupp of Liberty Lake, WA, brother-in-law Marvin L. Byerley and his 
wife Billie of Kansas City, KS and sister-in-law Maria Byerley of

and wife Donna of Winchester, KS, and David C. Byerley and wife Michelle
 of Overland Park, KS.
 
Marg was blessed with 13 grandchildren, 27 great grandchildren, and many
 other loving nieces, nephews and cousins. It was her love of family and
 her strong faith that gave her the courage to persevere through the
