June 2nd 1953. In order to get the Bloomfield School house ready for 
them to move into they had to auger wheat out of the basement. 
 Earl loved his community and was a great leader. He served as a 
county committee man for the ASCS office, Board of Directors of First 
National Bank, Elder at Hoxie Christian Church and a Past Exhaulted 
Ruler of the Hoxie Elks Lodge. 
 Earl was also a visionary and entrepreneur. He was one of the first
 farmers for Sheridan County to drill an irrigation well. He was one 
of the first in the area to introduce the use of a grain cart in 
harvest. In 1969, he was one of the original nine owners in the Hoxie 
Feed Lot. 
 Earl had a quick wit and great sense of humor. The only thing Earl 
loved more than card playing, golf and fishing, were his friendships and
 his family. And honestly, he became good friends with everyone he met!
 Earl is survived by his wife Opal; sons, Tim Moss and wife Dana of 
Selden, Kansas and Gary Moss and wife Teri of Hoxie, Kansas; sister, 
Margaret Muelenkamp of Oakley, Kansas; six grandchildren; seven

Neva Lou Ann Edwards, loving wife and mother, went home to Jesus on Saturday, December 26, 2020, at the age of 84.

Neva was born on June 13, 1936, at the 
Morgan Homestead, 10 miles south of Atwood, KS, to Joe and Leola 
(Bosler) Morgan. She met Clifford Duane Edwards, the love of her life, 
while they were in high school. They married on August 28, 1954, and 
went on to have three children: Mark, Marilyn, and Cecily.

Neva was a lifelong learner and a lover
 of education. She graduated as Valedictorian from Atwood High School in
 1954. After raising children and caring for her home, she returned to 
college and graduated from Fort Hays Kansas State College in 1976 with 
her bachelor’s degree in elementary education. She continued her 
post-graduate studies, eventually earning her PhD in Educational 
Administrative Leadership from Kansas State University in 1986. During 
her time in Manhattan, KS, she became an avid K-State Wildcat fan.

Neva was an elementary school teacher 
at Roosevelt Elementary School in Hays. Later, she served as principal 
at Sacred Heart Elementary School in Plainville, KS; then at McCandless 
Elementary School in Hutchinson, KS, and finally at Lincoln Elementary 
School in McPherson, KS.

Her pursuits went well beyond the 
classroom; she was not only incredibly intelligent, she was also very 
creative and adventurous. She made pottery, was a talented seamstress, 
and loved to learn new crafts such as knitting, quilting, and 
crocheting. She enjoyed telling stories through the medium of children’s
 books, poetry, and music. Neva studied for and gained her private 
pilot’s license to accompany her husband Cliff on air adventures. She 
was fearless when it came to international travel and often visited her 
daughter Cecily in foreign countries such as Germany, Turkey, Austria, 
Poland, France and many others.

Above all, however, she held an 
unwavering faith in God, which she shared with those who surrounded her.
 She leaves a rich spiritual heritage for her children, grandchildren, 
and great-grandchildren.

Neva joins her husband Cliff, her granddaughter Laura Stroup, her parents and her siblings in Heaven.

She is survived by her children: Mark 
Edwards, Manhattan, KS; Marilyn Engel and husband Bruce, Hays, KS; and 
Cecily Hill and husband Paul, Huntsville, AL; eleven grandchildren: Cara
 Rignell and husband Lonnie, Caleb Edwards, Mariel Edwards, Rita 
Edwards, Lee Stroup, Landon Stroup, Layton Stroup, Katelyn Engel, Ryan 
Hill and wife Jasmine, Olivia Hill, and Austin Hill; and eight 
great-grandchildren. 

Neva was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. She will be sadly missed but fondly remembered by all who knew her.

Michael Marshall Ayala, 68 of Leoti, KS died December 27, 2020 in Garden City, KS after a lengthy illness. He was born in La Junta, CO on October 11, 1952 to Nash and Virginia (Jaquez) Ayala. 

Michael was the youngest of three children, him being the only boy. He attended West Elementary, Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic School and junior high at St. Patrick’s Catholic School all in La Junta. He was fortunate to be able to attend 4 years of high school at Roncalli Catholic All-Boys school in Pueblo, CO, graduating with honors. After high school, he attended Otero Junior College for two years, transferring to Adams State College in Alamosa. 

He moved to Colorado Springs, working in construction for two years. Returning to La Junta, he was a fixture at Warehouse Liquors from 1979-1989. In 1990, he moved to Leoti, KS, hiring on at the Kansas Department of Transportation, working his way from maintenance to supervisor, retiring in 2015. Upon his retirement, he enjoyed following the local sports teams of Leoti and any and all sporting events, especially his beloved Denver Broncos. 

Michael was known for his care-free attitude, sense of humor which was above and beyond most. His sharp wit was tempered by his smile and laughter. He used to say his claim to fame was his starring roll as a field worker in Mr. Majestyk, filmed in La Junta in 1974. 

He is survived by his wife of 40 years, Ledia (Torrez) Ayala, his father, Nash Ayala, Sister, Margaret (Roy) Grasmick, Nephew, Matthew (Jill) Valdez, Niece, Erika Valdez, brother-in laws, Alvin Torrez, Joe (Darlene) Torrez, Blas (Tammi) Torrez and sister-in-law Catalina (Jim) Harris and several relatives.

Margaret Ann Brack, age 76, of Ellis, Kansas, passed away Saturday, December 26, 2020, at the&nbsp;Good Samaritan Society, Ellis, after a short battle with cancer. 

She was the eldest daughter of Frank J and Hanora (Henderson) Keller born on May 4th, 1944 in WaKeeney, Kansas.&nbsp;She attended Ellis High School graduating in 1962. On October 5, 1963 she married the love of her life,&nbsp;Morris Brack, in Ellis at St. Mary’s Catholic Church. Margaret lived all of her adult life in Ellis, living on the farm with Morris, for many years she worked at Alloway’s Restaurant in the days of the buffet, patrons came from far and wide to eat the buffet especially on Mother's Days, Easter and Memorial Day weekend. She always spoke with pride of the days feeding the local families and friends as well as those who came to Ellis to visit. In more recent years she could be seen doing maintenance at Spruce Village, and making crafts and meals for some of her adopted residents there. She also worked at Meal site and with her daughter Margo at the Ellis Golf Club. All who knew Margaret knew she truly had a heart of gold, if she had a dollar, it meant someone else had 75 cents, she never wanted any attention for her kindness and good deeds, preferring instead to remain in the background. She loved anything to do with family, crafts, puzzles, sewing, canning, cooking, baking, attending the kids and grandkids games and activities and racing, especially racing, always cheering for her #8B Kaishen Brack and #08 Dakota Sproul. Margaret loved her husband Morris, taking care of him daily as he faded away from Alzheimer’s and was heartbroken when he passed away only 1.5 years ago. Without a doubt her greatest pride and joy was her 3 children, her grandchildren and her great grandchildren, her unselfish love and the gleam in her eyes, along with her warm smile were heartwarming, anytime she was around them. Her kindness and love of her family was apparent every day as she put everyone before herself and never asked anything in return since “she didn't want to bother anyone.”

She is survived by her son Mark Brack (Gail), two daughters, Maryl (Tim) Gottschalk and Margo Brack, all of Ellis, Three sisters, Virginia (Gina Sproul, Judy Kuhn and Deanna Wellbrock, all of Hays. Grandchildren, Jerome Gottshalk (Jenni), Kimberly Gottschalk, Keisha Ghumm (Ethan) Kaishen Brack; step grandchildren, Sarah Dreiling (Joe) Todd Walker, and Christy Schoenthaler (Devin) great grandchildren, Julian Gottschalk, Braxton Ghumm: and great step grandchildren, Elizabeth Dreiling, Eli Dreiling, Emmitt Dreiling and Easton Schoenthaler.

She was preceded in death by her husband Morris, her parents, and brothers Al and Darrell Keller, and brother in law Chuck Sproul. Funeral services will be 10:30 AM Thursday, December 31, 2020 at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Ellis. Inurnment will follow in Mt. Hope Cemetery, Ellis. Memorial visitation will be Thursday 9:30 AM until service time with a rosary service will be at 10:00 AM all at St. Mary's Church.

Paul B. Hines

Donald Dale Paxson, 82, of Penokee, died December 23, 2020, in Hill 
City, Kansas. He was born October 14, 1938, in Penokee, Kansas to Oliver
 Franklin and Ella Mae “Barrit” Paxson.  

He was the youngest of three 
sons, following in the footsteps of Jim, the oldest and Bob, the middle.
 Don attended Penokee Grade School and was a graduate of Hill City 
High School. During his years in high school, he enjoyed participating 
in sports, especially basketball and track. He joined FFA and was a very
 active member, where he held many offices not only locally, but state 
offices as well. He became the first Hill City Member to receive the 
prestigious American Farmer Degree. For the rest of his life, Don 
remained an avid FFA Alumni Member. 
 On August 26, 1956, Don married the love of his life, Rea Burton at 
Prairie Home Methodist Church. Throughout their marriage, the Methodist 
Church was their anchor through thick and thin. They were an inseparable
 couple from their junior year of high school to the day the Lord called
 him home. To this union four children were born: Susan Ileene, Terry 
Lynn, Sandra Dee and Gary Dale.
 Farming was in Don’s blood from a very young age. He was also a 
cattleman and worked in petroleum management. He later became involved 
in irrigation with Ron Nickelson and Sol Roehl; thus, Northwest Electric
 and Irrigation was born. 
 Don was a 50-year member and Past Master of the Mason’s Millbrook 
Lodge AF &amp; AM #281, Eastern Star, South Solomon Shrine Club, and 
Isis Shrine Temple in Salina. As a lifetime Graham County resident, Don 
was always willing and ready to make Graham County a great place to 
live, work and play. He was a very community involved person. Don and 
Rea served as Republican County Chairman and Chairwoman for years. He 
served as a board member of the Penokee/Morland School District, the 
Water Authority, and the Graham County Hospital Board for over 30 years.
 As a member of Farm Bureau, he not only was a board member in his 
own county, but also on the regional and state level for years. 
 He was active in the Graham County Conservation District, faithfully
 attending meetings here as well as in Topeka. He was a trustee of 
Mid-West Hospitals and traveled all over the United States to represent 
all small hospitals, holding state, regional and national offices for 
years. He always felt he needed to support the community hospitals and 
do all he could to keep them current with new technologies. He strived 
to give the community an understanding of how vital he felt the hospital
 was to everyone.
 	Don was preceded in death by his parents and his son Terry Lynn. 
Survivors include his wife Rea Paxson of the home; daughter Susan 
Ileene (John) Borgstrom and their four children: daughter Anna (Tony) 
Borders and daughter, Kora; son Ashley (Kris) Borgstrom; daughter Holly 
and boyfriend Lucas; and son Gabe; the four children of Terry Lynn 
Paxson: daughter Jenny (Jarrod) Smith and their three daughters Kally, 
Abby, and Maggy and son Jaxson; son Heath (Mandy) Paxson and son Thane; 
daughter Devin and boyfriend Will and daughter Terralynn; and daughter 
Gabs; daughter Sandra Dee (Larry) Wenzl and their children: son Eugene 
(Kelly) Wenzl, and their daughters Katherine and Brynne; son Don 
(Kaitie) Wenzl and son Terry; daughter Atarah Sauter and husband Eric 
and daughter Marielle; son Gary Dale (Marjorie) Paxson and his daughter 
Chelsea Fountaine and husband Bob; and his two brothers Jim (Wordna) 
Paxson and family, and Bob (Greta) Paxson and family. 
 Family was a very important part of Don’s life. Weekend trips to 
Webster Lake in the old bus were a little piece of heaven. That old bus 
made it on many other adventures around the country in its time. If he 
met a stranger, in no time at all they were treated as a friend. His 
zest for life was contagious - from his gift of gab, his singing at many
 community functions, to leading you out on the dance floor! “Don as 
husband, dad, granddad, great-granddad and friend, you are leaving an 
empty place in our hearts, but you have given us a legacy of family, 
God, and community.”

 community functions, to leading you out on the dance floor! “Don as

Richard J. Normandin, 77, Hays, died 
Christmas Day 2020, at Hays Medical Center, surrounded by his family 
after a three-week battle with COVID-19.

Richard was born on March 8, 1943, in 
Damar, Kansas, to Norman and Irene (Benoit) Normandin, the youngest of 
ten children. Growing up, Richard built the foundation of his strong 
faith and learned the importance of hard work, living simply and 
appreciating what you have, traits he carried with him all his life.

Richard is survived by the love of his 
life, Mallone (Brin), whom he met while in High School. They were 
married on November 21, 1964, at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Damar, 
Kansas. He graduated from Old Town Barbering College in 1964. After 
college, the couple briefly lived in Kansas City, Missouri, as he 
started his career as a barber. They settled in Hays, Kansas, where 
Richard established and co-owned Continental Barber and Style shop for 
over 55 years.

Richard enjoyed music, barbequing, and 
an indefinite list of projects. Richard was always working on a project 
of some kind or was right alongside one of his four sons helping with 
their projects. Richard was one of the gentlest, loving souls a person 
could ever have a chance to know. His kind heart and soft, caring voice 
made everyone feel welcomed and loved. He was the kind of person who 
truly wanted to know how you have been when he asked. Rich was a man who
 listened more than he talked, gave more than he got, and loved larger 
than life. Richard left his mark on so many lives, and he taught his 
sons to love deeply, give greatly, and live a life of faith.

Mallone and Richard had four sons, all 
surviving to share Richard’s passion for life: Brent (Amy) Normandin, 
Troy Normandin, Shawn Normandin, and Kyle (Jessica) Normandin, all of 
Hays, KS, eight grandchildren: Ryder (Chelsea) Eakin, Tyler Schmidt, 
Avery, Aidan, Adrian, Carter, Dakota, and Kennedy Normandin, one 
great-granddaughter Callie, and extended family of Rylie and Bryson 
Fairbank.

Survivors also include three brothers: 
Eugene Normandin of Colby, KS, Alfred Normandin of Poquoson, VA, and 
Donald Normandin of Damar, KS, and two sisters: Norma Jean Bellerive of 
Plainville, KS and Odella Huhmann of St. Elizabeth, MO.

He was preceded in death by his parents, three brothers: Louis, Melvin and Duane Normandin, and a sister: Mary Ann Meyers.

Mass of Christian Burial will be at 
10:00 am on Thursday, December 31, 2020 at Immaculate Heart of Mary 
Catholic Church in Hays with Fr. Ryan McCandless officiating.&nbsp; Burial 
will follow in St. Joseph Cemetery.&nbsp; Visitation will be from 5:00 pm 
until 8:00 on Wednesday and from 9:00 am until 9:45 on Thursday all at 
Hays Memorial Chapel Funeral Home.&nbsp; The Bishop Cunningham Fourth Degree 
Knights of Columbus will stand honor guard from 5:30 pm until 6:30, a 
vigil service will be at 6:30 pm followed by a combined Third and Fourth
 Degree Knights of Columbus rosary, all on Wednesday at the funeral 
home.&nbsp; Memorials are suggested to the Immaculate Heart of Mary Building 
Fund.&nbsp; Condolences and memories of Richard may be shared with the family
