It is with great sadness that the family of Marina Munsch announces 
her passing, on November 16, 2020, at the age of 95 years.&nbsp;She will be 
forever missed by her family and friends.

Born to Peter and Christina (Herrman) Suppes in Liebenthal, Kansas on
 June 18, 1925, family and friends within the small community referred 
to her as “Dolly” as a child. She fondly recalled attending the 
community’s Catholic School and helping the local nuns with chores 
during her childhood. Subsequent to her parents’ grocery business and 
house burning down in separate accidents, the family moved to LaCrosse, 
Kansas. She graduated from LaCrosse High School in 1943 and entered the 
workforce. She exchanged vows with Edwin Munsch on May 19, 1947, at 
Saint John’s Catholic Church near Bazine, Kansas, and cherished their 60
 years of marriage.

Marina is remembered for her work ethic. She held several jobs 
throughout her teenage years, including babysitting, newspaper delivery,
 handicap services, and selling popcorn at the LaCrosse Movie Theater. 
She proudly assisted with the war effort through her employment as a 
spot welder with the “Rosie the Riveter” women’s workforce in Wichita, 
Kansas. Following marriage, she helped with farm work and raised the 
couple’s five children. By 1964, all of the couple’s children were 
attending school and Marina applied for a job at the Ness County 
Hospital. She held continuous employment within the Ness County 
Hospital’s Laundry Department for 45 years, serving 42 years as 
Department Supervisor.

She was a member of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church and Christian 
Mothers. She held a lifetime American Legion Auxiliary membership. She 
enjoyed serving her community as a Eucharistic Minister, visiting 
individuals at the hospital and their homes.&nbsp; She loved her family, 
enthusiastically attending her children’s football and basketball games 
and spending all available opportunities with her grandchildren and 
great-grandchildren. She was an avid player of checkers, cards, and 
crossword puzzles.

She is survived by a son and three daughters, Mike Munsch and his 
wife Jean Munsch, Vicki Herrman and her husband Steve Herrman, Betty 
Knoll and her husband Don Knoll, and Christy Healzer and her husband 
Paul Healzer; daughter-in-law, Debbie Munsch; sister, Elsie Haberman; 
brother, Gilbert Suppes; thirteen grandchildren, David Munsch, Matt 
Munsch, Becky Newell, Todd Munsch, Addison Munsch, BJ Munsch, Amy 
Hayden, Tate Herrman, Stephanie Brown, Ashley Knoll, Sarah Sandbo, 
Stephen Healzer, and Mark Healzer; seventeen great-grandchildren; and 
two great-great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband,
 Edwin Munsch; a son, Ronald Munsch; a baby grandson, Cody Munsch; 
parents, Peter and Christina Suppes; a baby sister, Edith Suppes; and 
two brothers, Arnold and Jerome Suppes.

Parish vigil and rosary will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, November
 20, 2020, with the Mass of Christian Burial at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday,

LeHart “Lee” Dean Gemaehlich, 86, passed away November 17, 2020, at his Dodge City, Kansas home.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

Lee was born June 25, 1934, in Kensington, Kansas and was the first 
child born to Norma Louise (Dettmer) and Hardy F. Gemaehlich.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

Lee attended Grade School through High School in Kensington, Kansas. 
He proudly graduated high school as a Kensington Goldbug. He also 
received his Associate of Arts from Dodge City Community College and 
Realtor License later in life.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Lee was a family man to his core. He was a loving husband, daddy, 
grandpa, and great grandpa as he built a solid family pyramid to cement 
his legacy. Lee lived life by example for his family, friends, and 
community. He was kind-hearted and generous with his set of skills and 
never-ending love. He was proud to emulate the nature of his mother and 
maternal grandfather. They taught him to be a productive member of his 
community and devout Christian man.

Lee was drafted into the Army in March 1957 and served two years as a Specialist - 4th
 Class in Munich, Germany. On November 15, 1958, Lee married Cathy 
Jimenez in Munich. They had an adventurous honeymoon traveling through 
Europe, France, Italy, Switzerland, and Austria. Lee started his career 
at Boeing as a machinist, then was employed by Unisys as a Field 
Engineer for over twenty years. Lee and Cathy lived in Valley Center for
 a short stint and then spent the remainder of their married life in 
Garden City and ultimately in Dodge City. In 1961, they started their 
family and had two children, LeAnn and Dean. Two days prior to his 
passing, they shared and celebrated 62 wonderful years of marriage.&nbsp;

Born and raised on a Smith County farm, Lee possessed a disciplined 
work ethic. This shined through in all he did through life. Taught by 
his father, Lee was a skilled handyman, working construction as a young 
man prior to and after serving in the Army.&nbsp; Lee instilled in LeAnn and 
Dean that common sense, integrity, and empathy are paramount to a 
successful life.&nbsp; He also loved the outdoors! He would take every 
possible opportunity to camp, hunt, fish, or trail ride on motorcycles 
and ATVs, while enjoying the Colorado Rockies throughout his life. This 
love for nature’s bounty is now shared by all members of his adoring 
family.&nbsp;

Lee and Cathy loved to travel, visiting much of the United States and
 enjoying a few vacations in St Croix and Mexico.&nbsp; His trip of a 
lifetime was traveling through Alaska with friends, spanning Prudhoe Bay
 to Fairbanks.&nbsp; Lee was a lifetime member of the VFW as well as Dodge 
City Lions Club, where he served several terms as Lions President and 
other official duties.&nbsp; He was also a member of the Knights of 
Columbus.&nbsp;

He is survived by his wife, Cathy; daughter, LeAnn Yost and husband 
Doug of Overland Park, Kansas; son, Dean Gemaehlich and wife Kathy of 
Dodge City; granddaughter, Ashley Gemaehlich and boyfriend Jon Wendal of
 Dodge City; 2 grandsons, Tanner Gemaehlich and wife MeKayla of Dodge 
City, and Justin Gemaehlich and wife Jada of Hays, Kansas; and 3 
precious great-grandchildren, Gannon Dean, Sylvir Faith, and Ella 
Janise. Additionally, Lee is survived by his 3 cherished sisters Carolyn
 Billings and husband Stanley, Jean Ragland, and Twila Hickman and 
husband Jay and many more family members.&nbsp; Lee’s first love was his 
family who he deeply treasured!

Lee is preceded in death by his parents, Hardy and Norma Gemaehlich.&nbsp;

Vigil service followed by Knights of Columbus rosary will be at 7:00 
pm Sunday, November 22, 2020, both at the Cathedral of Our Lady of 
Guadalupe. Funeral Mass will be at 10:00 am Monday at the church with

Laverne “Duffer” E. Mauck, 95, passed away on Wednesday, November 11, 
2020 at his home in Hoxie, Kansas. On August 6, 1925, Duffer was born 
to Henry and Emma (Trueblood) Mauck on the family farm in rural Sheridan
 County. He attended grade school nearby at the Chicago School House 
and graduated from Sheridan County Community High School with the class 
of 1943. 
 Duffer was first drafted into the United States Army during WWII 
only to be instructed by the War Department to return to farming. He 
then served in the Army’s 1st Cavalry Division where he earned the 
Combat Infantryman Badge and Korean Service Medal. While in the service,
 Duffer enjoyed playing baseball for the Fort Riley baseball team and 
outshooting all of the officers on the rifle team as a Private First 
Class. His skill in both baseball and shooting, coupled with his 
stubborn candor, gave him ample opportunity to share his opinion with 
those in command and contributed to a rather unique experience in the 
Army.
 With six weeks notice before being sent to serve in the Korean 
Conflict, Duffer and JoAnn (Coulter) Mauck rushed to tie the knot on 
August 22, 1950. This institutionalized the beginning of what became 
their 70-year love story. When Duffer returned from fighting in heavy 
combat in Korea, they moved to their honeymoon cottage where they raised
 their family and were blessed with a family of five children, Rex, 
Roger, Brena, Karen, and Rodney, who share many warm memories from "the 
farm". 
 Duffer raised his family while farming. It gave him the opportunity
 to farm into the wee hours of the night so that he could attend his 
son's many wrestling matches. Having been a high school state wrestling
 champion himself, he found great joy in watching his son's wrestle. He
 logged many miles as he never missed a match. He filmed their matches 
and the whole family would gather and watch them on the living room wall
 as he would "coach" them. Duffer continued the enjoyment of logging 
many miles as he watched grandchildren and great-grandchildren in their 
athletic activities also.
 Duffer is well-known for his pranking which has been passed down to 
almost all in the family and has led to many laughs. One of the “famous”
 pranks was the time he crawled under a pickup in the dark that was 
parked in the field and waited patiently for Roger so he could grab 
Roger’s feet and scare him. He was rewarded for his efforts by Roger’s 
reaction. Duffer’s shoulders always bounced up and down with a twinkle 
in his eyes while he laughingly recounted many such stories over the 
years.
 Duffer enjoyed fishing from childhood through retirement. 
Additionally, he grew to appreciate rock and fossil hunting with JoAnn. 
Their expeditions began locally with trips to Castle Rock and developed 
into cross-country treks. He outfitted his pickup with a wench to help 
lift his favorite fossils. One of his finds was published and others are
 displayed at museums throughout Kansas. He shared his discoveries and 
insights with his family, many grade school classes and anyone that 
showed an interest in his hobby. The prankster in him came out when he 
tricked many enthusiasts into licking his special rock, and then 
watching their faces when he told them they had just licked petrified 
dinosaur poop. This hobby led to trips throughout the world to explore 
ancient artifacts and fossils. They spent time in Arizona, Utah, Egypt, 
Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and Montana, just to name a few. 
 One of his greatest prides was perfecting his jerky recipe over many
 years which his grandkids loved. It gave him great pride to make a 
batch when he knew the grandkids and the great-grandkids were coming. He
 also had a soft spot for romantic ‘50s music and Hawaiian tunes, so 
much that he traded for a radio in Korea so he could listen to tunes, 
like the Tennessee Waltz, as often as they would play. At home he made 
hours of tapes, cds, and then MP3s for all who would listen.
 Duffer is survived by his sons, Rex Mauck (Dorothea) of Longwood, 
Florida and Roger Mauck (Dolores)of Hoxie, Kansas; daughters, Brena 
Mauck of Hays, Kansas and Karen Billinger (Ed KImminau) of Dodge City, 
Kansas; sister, Elaine Kramer of Kansas City, Kansas; grandchildren, 
Melissa Small (Richie), Nathan Mauck (Kelsie), Dr. Michelle Pope 
(Jason), Tate Mauck (Heather), Adam Mauck (Krista), and Michaela Linden 
(Brett), Brandon Billinger (Liz) and Amy Billinger; great-grandchildren 
Zoe Small, Sophie Mauck, Truman Mauck, Emma Pope, Grace Pope, Kate Pope,
 Charlie Pope, Sydney Mauck, Reilly Mauck, Avery Mauck, Harper Mauck, 
Blayke Mauck, Max Mauck, Maggie Mauck, Parker Linden, Collins Linden, , 
William Billinger and Joseph Billinger.
 He was preceded in death by his wife, JoAnn Mauck; parents, Henry 
and Emma Mauck, son, Rodney Mauck; granddaughter, Stephanie Mauck; 
great-grandson, Knolan Small; brother, Harold Mauck; sisters, Bernadine 
Cobb and Bonnie Czerenda.
 A private family service will be held on Saturday, November 21, 
2020, 1:00 P.M. at the Mickey-Leopold Funeral Home. Following the 
service a private family burial take place at the Hoxie City Cemetery. 
Memorials are suggested to LC Caring or Hospice of Northwest Kansas and 
may be sent in care of Mickey-Leopold Funeral Home, PO Box 987, Hoxie, 
Kansas 67740. Words of comfort may be left at

Their expeditions began locally with trips to Castle Rock and developed 
into cross-country treks. He outfitted his pickup with a wench to help 
lift his favorite fossils. One of his finds was published and others are
 displayed at museums throughout Kansas. He shared his discoveries and 
insights with his family, many grade school classes and anyone that 
showed an interest in his hobby. The prankster in him came out when he 
tricked many enthusiasts into licking his special rock, and then 
watching their faces when he told them they had just licked petrified 
dinosaur poop. This hobby led to trips throughout the world to explore 
ancient artifacts and fossils. They spent time in Arizona, Utah, Egypt, 
Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and Montana, just to name a few. 
 One of his greatest prides was perfecting his jerky recipe over many
 years which his grandkids loved. It gave him great pride to make a 
batch when he knew the grandkids and the great-grandkids were coming. He
 also had a soft spot for romantic ‘50s music and Hawaiian tunes, so 
much that he traded for a radio in Korea so he could listen to tunes, 
like the Tennessee Waltz, as often as they would play. At home he made 
hours of tapes, cds, and then MP3s for all who would listen.
 Duffer is survived by his sons, Rex Mauck (Dorothea) of Longwood, 
Florida and Roger Mauck (Dolores)of Hoxie, Kansas; daughters, Brena 
Mauck of Hays, Kansas and Karen Billinger (Ed KImminau) of Dodge City, 
Kansas; sister, Elaine Kramer of Kansas City, Kansas; grandchildren, 
Melissa Small (Richie), Nathan Mauck (Kelsie), Dr. Michelle Pope 
(Jason), Tate Mauck (Heather), Adam Mauck (Krista), and Michaela Linden 
(Brett), Brandon Billinger (Liz) and Amy Billinger; great-grandchildren 
Zoe Small, Sophie Mauck, Truman Mauck, Emma Pope, Grace Pope, Kate Pope,
 Charlie Pope, Sydney Mauck, Reilly Mauck, Avery Mauck, Harper Mauck, 
Blayke Mauck, Max Mauck, Maggie Mauck, Parker Linden, Collins Linden, , 
William Billinger and Joseph Billinger.
 He was preceded in death by his wife, JoAnn Mauck; parents, Henry 
and Emma Mauck, son, Rodney Mauck; granddaughter, Stephanie Mauck; 
great-grandson, Knolan Small; brother, Harold Mauck; sisters, Bernadine 
Cobb and Bonnie Czerenda.

Barbara "Sue" Campbell, 83, passed away on November 16th, 2020. Her 
death was due to complications from COVID-19, however, she was not alone
 and in the comfort of her Hoisington, KS home.

On November 3rd, 1937, Sue was born to Walter "Shelby" Hawkins and 
Letha May (Fisher) Hawkins in Maud, OK. She was an alumna of Hoisington 
High School, class of 1955. She married a dashing young Marine, Orville 
Richard “Dick” Campbell (1934-2008), on May 3rd, 1959 in Hoisington, KS.
 They had three wonderful, strong, and stubborn children: Russ, Rana and
 Robert. Professionally, she was a business owner of “Le Shop” hair 
salon and went on to be a proud employee of ElderCare, Inc. in Great 
Bend, KS where she retired after 18 years. Sue was an active member at 
the First United Methodist Church and was involved with American Legion 
Auxiliary, Post #286. Sue volunteered with Boy Scout Troop #130, and was
 a leader of Explorer Post #013.

Very few things were more important to her than God, family, and the 
people she surrounded herself with. She was firm and soft in all the 
ways a mother should be. She was a strong constant for all of the people
 who were a part of her beautiful life. She celebrated life in many 
“little” ways: ice cream and popcorn for dinner on Sundays, posting 
daily Bible verses, and tending to her flowers (real AND virtual). Sue 
was all but quiet in the kind of love and support she would give. She 
never forgot a birthday and strove to be there for important events. Sue
 found comfort in truth and never valued herself above others.

She is survived by one son, Robert Campbell; one daughter, Rana 
Campbell (Richard Lynn); a daughter-in-law, Holly Campbell-Heinze (Ron 
Heinze); four grandchildren: Shiree Houf (Donnie Houf), Shelby Lynn, Ian
 Lynn (Michelle Castillo), Courtney Campbell (Marcus Allen); and two 
great grandchildren, Arabell &amp; Emerson Houf. Sue was preceded in 
death by her parents; husband; son, Russell Campbell; her brother, Bill 
Hawkins; and devoted dog, Jack.

Services will not be held until 2021 or until the threat of the 
COVID-19 pandemic has decreased enough for family to travel and gather. 
If you would like to make a memorial in her honor before such a time is 
decided, please consider First United Methodist Church or the American 
Legion Auxiliary Scholarship Fund. While we wait to celebrate her life, 
please do what you can to keep yourself and others safe.

Friends may sign the book at and memorials may be sent in care of 
Nicholson-Ricke Funeral Home, PO Box 146, Hoisington, KS 67544.

 one of her favorite places to go. &nbsp;She also loved watching Cops, there

She loved all the animals she ever had throughout her life, even a 
donkey called Dude that she fed a chocolate pudding cup too everyday.

spent many hours of her life frying beef stew for Dee Dee. She believed 
in angels and knew that she would once see Dee Dee again.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Sharon

military night vision scopes. She would also shoot military guns and was

company.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; She was preceded in death by her
