Deanna Lee (Beck) Becker passed away on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, at 
Hays Medical Center, at the age of 82. She was born on August 28, 1938,&nbsp; to Harold and Reva (Rigby) Beck in the Round Mound Township of Osborne 
County, Kansas. She was united in marriage to Lawrence Becker on October
 22, 1960, at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Plainville. The couple 
spent 60 years of marriage together and were blessed with three sons: 
Michael, Douglas, and Chad.
 Deanna grew up in the Osborne County area. She graduated from Natoma
 High School with the Class of 1956 and then attended Fort Hays State 
University for one year before starting a job at the State Capital in 
1957. She then moved to Plainville in 1958 and worked for Southwestern 
Bell Telephone Company for 15 years, followed by 20 years for Chase Well
 Service taking care of the books and radio communication. While working
 at home for Chase Well Service, she would also babysit for friends and 
family in Plainville. She stayed busy later in life when her children 
grew up and had children of their own. It was rare for her to miss any 
activities or events that her grandkids or great-grandkids were involved
 in. She was a sports fan and her top teams were K-State for football 
and KU Jayhawks for basketball. She also enjoyed watching her grandson 
Joseph play football at McPherson College. When she traveled to her 
grandkids’ games, she would visit different churches in the area – she 
has probably seen most of the churches in the state, a testament to her 
devoted faith and love for the Lord. Traveling in general was something 
she loved to do as she traveled to several different vacation spots and 
made sure to hit some casinos on the way. She stayed busy when she was 
at home with her garden, being apart of the Daughters of Isabella, 
attending church events or masses, and even helping prepare funeral 
meals for Sacred Heart members who passed on before her. 
 Deanna was a hardworking woman who showed her love by serving and 
caring for her family, friends, and church. With the same love and 
patience required to grow her gardens, she planted in each one of us the
 seeds of faith, hope, and love. Through her daily example, she showed 
us that the greatest of these is love. Although Deanna will be greatly 
missed, she will live forever in the hearts of those who knew her best, 
for she was greatly loved.
 She is survived by her husband, Lawrence Becker of the home; sons, 
Michael (Jody) Becker of Plainville, KS, Douglas (Tammi) Becker of 
Raytown, MO, and Chad (Lisa) Becker of Tecumseh, KS; siblings, Beverly 
Hachmeister of Natoma, KS, Anita (Gail) Griffin of Alton KS, and Harold 
Jr. “Bud” Beck of Russell, KS; eleven grandchildren, Ashley (Brian) Hay,
 Joseph (Jana) Becker, Alaina Becker, Andrew Becker, the twins: Henry 
and Cory Becker, Matthew Becker, Emma Becker, Jacob Becker, Jeremy 
Rowles and Adel (Christina) Bjiouat; and eleven great-grandchildren.
 She is preceded in death by her parents, Harold and Reva Beck.
 A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Saturday, November 7, 
2020, at 10:30AM at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church with burial to 
follow at the Natoma Cemetery. Visitation will be on Friday, 2:00PM to 
4:30PM, at the funeral home in Plainville and moved to the church 6:00PM
 to 8:00PM with a Vigil Service and Rosary at 7:00PM.
 Memorials are suggested to Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Sacred 
Heart Catholic Schools, D of I, or Rooks County Health Center and may be
 sent in care of Plumer-Overlease Funeral Home, 320 SW 2nd St, 
Plainville, KS 67663.

Nelda Jeanne (Sheets) Shields passed away peacefully surrounded by her 
family in Kansas City, Missouri at McCrite Plaza Memory Care October 30,
 2020 at the age of 90.
 	Nelda was born August 4,1930 in Lincoln, Kansas to Harry “Dusty” 
and Esther (Loy) Sheets. She was the youngest of four children. 
 When she was 16, she met “the guy”, Otto Shields, Jr. at his family

Lincoln High School, graduating in May of 1948. The August following 
graduation, Nelda celebrated her 18th birthday and four days later, 
August 8, Nelda and Junior were married. 
 An opportunity with a grocery store prompted the young couple to 
move to Hill City where they started building their family and life 
together. Working side by side, they operated Shields IGA Grocery Store 
and then Shields Party Mix Liquor Store for four decades in the Hill 
City Community. Later Nelda worked as the Deputy Clerk and eventually 
became Clerk of the District Court, retiring in 2003 at age 73. Nelda 
loved her small-town life, going on walks every evening, attending local
 sporting events, cooking, gatherings with family and friends, traveling
 to see grandkids, and taking trips with her friends. She was a loyal 
member of the First United Presbyterian Church of Hill City.
 She was preceded in death by her parents; husband Junior; brother 
Robert Sheets; sisters: Wanda Huston and Helen Jensen; son-in-law Don 
Scott; grandson Nathan Elliott, and great grandson Andrew Elliott.
 Nelda is survived by her eight children: Ron Shields of Hill City,

City, Rod Shields of Salina, Melanie Scott of Hill City, Lori Newell 
(Stan) of Monticello, Illinois, Mike Shields (Donna) of Kansas City, 
Missouri, David Shields (Sara) of Kansas City, Missouri; 14 
grandchildren, and 20 great grandchildren and many friends.
 Nelda will be remembered as a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, 
great-grandmother, sister, and treasured friend, who was known for her 
kindness, generosity, grace, and tireless work ethic. Nelda was married 
to Junior for 62 years and were never apart except for the nine months 
Junior was in the Navy. Her love for her husband and family was beyond 
measure.
 In lieu of flowers the family suggests memorials to the First United Presbyterian Church of Hill City.

Clarence 'Bill' William Vickers

Loren Henry Dyke, 87, passed away November 2, 2020, at Hutchinson 
Regional Medical Center, Hutchinson, KS. He was born October 30, 1933, 
in Malvern, Iowa, to Dale D. &amp; Maxine (Boyer) Dyke. He married 
Marilyn Patricia Mueller May 27, 1956 at First United Methodist Church 
in Griswold, Iowa. She survives.

Loren was an active child and loved exploring the woods, fields, and 
streams that were all around the small farming community where he grew 
up. He suffered several life-threatening injuries and sicknesses in his 
youth, including a long siege with rheumatic fever, and possibly polio. 
At age six, he tripped right by the Methodist church and jammed the 
point of a wooden sword into his throat. Unbeknown to his parents, the 
tip had broken off inside the throat. Two weeks later, doctors in a 
Council Bluffs hospital removed that bloody piece of wood.

Along with his family, Loren was active in that same Methodist church
 during his early years. He enjoyed all sports and engaged vigorously in
 all of them. In conjunction with the WWII jobs program, his dad moved 
the family to Los Angeles in 1943 to work in the Howard Hughes shipyard 
and was assigned to work on the famous Spruce Goose. The family’s 
temporary housing was in a trailer park right across the street from MGM
 studios where Loren became acquainted and often played with members of 
the Our Gang, sometimes called The Little Rascals, including Froggie and
 Alfalfa. With Froggie and other boys, he climbed a high fence to sneak 
into those studios to watch the making of films.

The family returned to Iowa after the war and in 1947, Loren 
accompanied a Baptist preacher and his sons to Minneapolis to attend a 
Youth for Christ meeting in which a young evangelist named Billy Graham 
was the featured speaker. On one evening during that conference, Loren 
walked a long-tabernacle aisle to the front and committed his life to 
Jesus Christ.

Loren graduated from Chariton, Iowa High School in 1951 and enrolled 
in Peru State Teachers’ College in1952, and in l953, while the Korean 
War was on, was inducted into the Army. The war ended, and Loren spent 
most of his service time in Fort Belvoir, Virginia. While there, he had a
 life-changing encounter with Jesus while serving as a Chaplain’s 
Assistant at the base chapel.

Following discharge, back in Iowa, he accepted a role as counselor at
 a Methodist youth camp at Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa. It was 
there he met Marilyn Mueller of Griswold, Iowa. They both loved music, 
worked together in the camp’s music program, and became best friends. 
They were married on May 27, 1956, and became the parents of three 
children, Lorene, Daniel, and Jerry.

Loren taught school in southwest Iowa for five years, and during that
 time, the most spiritually transforming event of his and Marilyn’s 
lives occurred when the two of them attended a Christian Ashram in 
Salina, Kansas, a retreat movement founded by Dr. E. Stanley Jones. For 
Loren, a new intimacy with Jesus began. In 1962 he accepted a position 
as youth director at a Methodist church in Great Bend, Kansas, and in 
1963, he became director of the Kansas Ashram.

In 1964, Loren began a full-time faithbased, evangelistic ministry, 
largely connected with the Ashram movement, and for eight years, on 
several occasions had opportunity to work closely with Stanley Jones. 
Loren spoke at many retreats and meetings across the US, mostly around 
the eastern part of the country and during that time, established an 
organization named The King’s Team focused on revival in America and 
have been praying for revival in the US since June 1,1970.

Just before 1980, Loren and Marilyn became active in the Republican 
Party and in 1980, Loren became Barton county chairman for Ronald Reagan
 and was elected as an alternate delegate to the Republican National 
Convention in Detroit. As Loren and Marilyn became more involved with 
politics, the Lord gave them many opportunities to witness for Him and 
engage with numerous persons involved in governmental leadership at the 
state and national levels. At one point, they were able to meet Ronald 
Reagan and Loren was able to hold hands with Nancy Reagan and have a 
brief prayer with her.

Loren and Marilyn were scheduled to sing at the Kansas Day Banquet in
 Topeka in January of 1989, but on the way there, Loren had a heart 
attack which prevented their doing that. But in 1994, the couple had 
another opportunity to sing America the Beautiful at that same banquet 
of one-thousand persons, including governors, U.S. senators and 
legislators, all to the honor and glory of their dear Lord and Savior 
Jesus, and received a standing ovation. Later, while speaking with 
Senator Nancy Kassebaum in her Washington office, she told them that she
 was the first one on her feet following that song.

More than all of the things that Loren has been able to do throughout
 his life, the most important thing to him in all the world is his 
personal relationship with Jesus Christ and a desire to tell everyone he
 meets about Jesus. In the end, his desire is that everyone who reads 
this obituary or hears about his life over the coming years is that they
 know Jesus (John 3:16).

Survivors include, his wife, Marilyn Dyke of the home; two sons, 
Daniel “Danny” L. Dyke of Boston, MA, and Jerry S. Dyke and wife Kathy 
of Pflugerville, TX; a daughter, Lorene “Lore” Meltzer and husband Paul 
of Kansas City, Mo.; a sister-in-law, Gayle Dyke; a brother-in-law, 
Elden Bickley; three grandchildren, Daniel Meyer and wife Rachel, 
Stephanie Meyer, and Jeffrey Dyke and wife Alyssa; and four great 
grandchildren, Isaiah Meyer, Luke Meyer, Selah Dyke, and Asher Dyke. He 
was preceded in death by his parents; a brother, David Dyke; and a 
sister, Theresa Bickley.

Visitation will be held from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Thursday, 
November 5, 2020, at Bryant Funeral Home, with family to receive friends
 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. Funeral Service will be held at 10:30 a.m., 
Friday, November 6, 2020, at Bryant Funeral Home. Interment will be in 
Golden Belt Memorial Park. Memorials have been designated to the King’s

in Peru State Teachers’ College in1952, and in l953, while the Korean 
War was on, was inducted into the Army. The war ended, and Loren spent 
most of his service time in Fort Belvoir, Virginia. While there, he had a
 life-changing encounter with Jesus while serving as a Chaplain’s 
Assistant at the base chapel.Following discharge, back in Iowa, he accepted a role as counselor at
 a Methodist youth camp at Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa. It was 
there he met Marilyn Mueller of Griswold, Iowa. They both loved music, 
worked together in the camp’s music program, and became best friends. 
They were married on May 27, 1956, and became the parents of three 
children, Lorene, Daniel, and Jerry.Loren taught school in southwest Iowa for five years, and during that
 time, the most spiritually transforming event of his and Marilyn’s 
lives occurred when the two of them attended a Christian Ashram in 
Salina, Kansas, a retreat movement founded by Dr. E. Stanley Jones. For 
Loren, a new intimacy with Jesus began. In 1962 he accepted a position 
as youth director at a Methodist church in Great Bend, Kansas, and in 
1963, he became director of the Kansas Ashram.In 1964, Loren began a full-time faithbased, evangelistic ministry, 
largely connected with the Ashram movement, and for eight years, on 
several occasions had opportunity to work closely with Stanley Jones. 
Loren spoke at many retreats and meetings across the US, mostly around 
the eastern part of the country and during that time, established an 
organization named The King’s Team focused on revival in America and 
have been praying for revival in the US since June 1,1970.Just before 1980, Loren and Marilyn became active in the Republican 
Party and in 1980, Loren became Barton county chairman for Ronald Reagan
 and was elected as an alternate delegate to the Republican National 
Convention in Detroit. As Loren and Marilyn became more involved with 
politics, the Lord gave them many opportunities to witness for Him and 
engage with numerous persons involved in governmental leadership at the 
state and national levels. At one point, they were able to meet Ronald 
Reagan and Loren was able to hold hands with Nancy Reagan and have a 
brief prayer with her.Loren and Marilyn were scheduled to sing at the Kansas Day Banquet in
 Topeka in January of 1989, but on the way there, Loren had a heart 
attack which prevented their doing that. But in 1994, the couple had 
another opportunity to sing America the Beautiful at that same banquet 
of one-thousand persons, including governors, U.S. senators and 
legislators, all to the honor and glory of their dear Lord and Savior 
Jesus, and received a standing ovation. Later, while speaking with 
Senator Nancy Kassebaum in her Washington office, she told them that she
 was the first one on her feet following that song.More than all of the things that Loren has been able to do throughout
 his life, the most important thing to him in all the world is his 
personal relationship with Jesus Christ and a desire to tell everyone he
 meets about Jesus. In the end, his desire is that everyone who reads 
this obituary or hears about his life over the coming years is that they
 know Jesus (John 3:16).Survivors include, his wife, Marilyn Dyke of the home; two sons, 
Daniel “Danny” L. Dyke of Boston, MA, and Jerry S. Dyke and wife Kathy
