hunting or teaching his grandchildren how to shoot.&nbsp; He even taught his 
grandchildren about snipe hunting.&nbsp; Floyd loved to prank people to get a
 good laugh.&nbsp; When describing Floyd, one of the main words that would

Loretta Maxine (Eisenbise) Shaw left us on February 26, 2021, to be 
reunited with Dean and Jesus Christ her Lord and Savior. Loretta was 
born six miles south of Quinter, KS on the farm, August 28, 1926.

There on the farm, she grew up with her parents, Ethel and Byron, her
 brother, Marion, and sister, Geneva. They left the farm and traveled 
with Byron for his work when the Depression hit, and they weren't able 
to maintain life on the farm. During that time, they lived in many 
places in Kansas and Oklahoma. At the end of the Depression, they 
returned to the area and lived in Grainfield. During her time living in 
Grainfield, she met a young fella named Dean who loved her from the 
first time he saw her. Loretta graduated high school in Grainfield in 
1944. She and Dean started their 60 years of marriage on September 26, 
1946. During the early years of their marriage, they lived in both 
Quinter and Grainfield but settled permanently in Grainfield in 1949.

Loretta asked for advice from her mom in the early years of marriage 
and Ethel’s words stuck with Loretta her entire married life. “If your 
husband asks you if you want to go with him, you always go, or someday 
he may quit asking.” Because this stuck with her, she and Dean took many
 trips together to pick up vehicles for the customers, attend Ford 
meetings, and go see family and even just little cruises out to the farm
 ground to look around. Because of helping Dean pick up all kinds of 
vehicles all over the country, Loretta could drive just about anything 
with 4 or more wheels. In December of 1947 they welcomed their first 
child, Nancy, In September of 1951 Donna was born and finally, Jim 
completed their family in 1961.

Loretta was dedicated to family. As her children grew up and got 
involved in activities, she was always there to support them. Over the 
years she drove a bus for field trips, sponsored and chaperoned youth 
group trips. When grandkids and great-grandkids came along, she did her 
best to never miss one of their special events. She was a great 
storyteller and loved to share her experiences and family stories over a
 cup of coffee or a glass of tea.

The United Methodist Church in Grainfield was her church home since 
1958, and she sang in the choir as long as they were active. Loretta was
 also active with the women of the church, providing meals and whatever 
she could do to pitch in. She also was a part of the Do What You Want 
Club, a hobby social group that just enjoyed each other’s company.

She was proceeded in death by her parents Ethel and Byron; husband 
Dean; brother Marion; sisters Vivian and Geneva; daughter Donna; and 
other family and friends.&nbsp; 

Her legacy lives on through her daughter 
Nancy (Vick) of Wichita, Kansas; son Jim of Grainfield; son-in-law Rand 
Levy of Champion, Nebraska; Grandkids Cherise (Brock) Moore of Derby, 
Kansas, Lori (Dusty) Stutzman of Arnold, Nebraska, Amber (Brian) Harvey 
of Wichita, and Carl (Julie) Levy of Champion, Nebraska; great-grandkids
 William Harvey, Deana Harvey, Aubree Stutzman, Alexsis Stutzman, 
Abigail Stutzman, and Collins Levy; and many nieces, nephews, and other 
family and friends.

Thomas Jacob Foran passed away at the Hays Medical Center on Wednesday, 
February 24, 2021 at the age of 74. Tom was born on April 29, 1946 to 
William and Mary (Vopat) Foran in Ellsworth County, Kansas. 
 Tom was a lifetime resident of Ellsworth County. He was a stand-out 
athlete for Wilson High School; he was All-State for football and 
basketball and also played baseball. He graduated in 1964 and was 
recruited by Bethany College to play football. After two years at 
Bethany he furthered his education and continued to play college 
football at Fort Hays State. He earned a Bachelor’s degree in 1968. He 
then returned to farming in Wilson. 
 Tom’s favorite past time was playing poker with his “poker buddies”.
 He played poker seriously with his friends, and we aren’t talking 
pennies and dimes type of poker. He was serious about his cards and did 
not fiddle with playing against anyone who didn’t understand the game or
 couldn’t play to his level, including his nieces. You could say farming
 and poker were his life, but he made sure that there was time to take 
the best care of his parents. A gentle giant that was a kind and genuine
 man, Tom was loved by all and a friend to everyone. He never knew a 
stranger and didn’t have a bad word to say about anyone. His intellect 
was admired by all who knew him, and his friendship was cherished by 
those who became close with him. His loss will leave a place in the 
hearts and lives of family and friends no one else can fill; however, he
 leaves a collection of memories and precious times we shared, true 
keepsakes of our hearts that will remain forever.
 Tom is survived by his siblings, Michael Dennis Foran of Wichita and
 Mary Alice Foran-Bush of Elizabeth Town, KY; twelve nieces and nephews;
 and a multitude of great-nieces and nephews. 
 He joins in heaven his parents, William and Mary Foran; brother, 
Kevin (Dorothy) Foran; sister, Carolyn (Leonard) Galliart; 
brother-in-law, Elmer “Sunny” Bush; two nephews, William Bush and 
Timothy Galliart; and a niece, Patricia Galliart.
 A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, March 6, 2021 at The
 Iron Lion/Old Rec Center from 2PM until 6PM. A book signing will be 
held on Friday at the funeral home in Wilson from 4PM until 8PM. 
 Memorials are suggested to the Wilson Fire Dept. and may be sent in 
care of Plumer-Overlease Funeral Home, PO BOX 533, Wilson, KS 67490.
