Gladys Marie Dederman, age 89, went home to be with the Lord on April
 28, 2020. 

Gladys was born January 9, 1931. She graduated from Superior 
High School and began working at the local bank. Gladys pursued her true
 passion by leaving the bank to become a registered nurse. She received

 John. Once John was in school, she returned to work as substitute nurse

the summers. Gladys had a great love for little children and wanted them
 to be healthy and happy. In 1983, she became the Health Coordinator for
 the Head Start Program through LPS serving eleven years and retiring in
 June of 1994. She worked tirelessly to recruit doctors, dentists and 
other health care professionals in the community to donate their time to
 care for Lincoln’s children.

Gladys continued her community involvement through multiple programs 
including the YMCA Camp Branch Board, Life Member of Ruth Pyrtle PTA, 
Wedgewood Extension Group, Retired Teachers Association, American Heart 
Association and Head Start Health Services Advisory Committee.

Gladys hobbies included sewing, reading and attending Husker Football
 games with Art. They were very active and involved in their local 
square-dancing club. They loved traveling to visit their grandchildren.

Roger Abell, 61, of Orion, KS, died Tuesday, May 5, 2020, at his home. 
He was born August 1, 1958, to Robert and Marjorie Abell, and raised on 
the family farm in Gove County where he remained for most of his life. 


He was a 1977 graduate of Grinnell High School, and earned 
certifications in diesel mechanics from Goodland Vo-Tech. He went on to 
work for local Co-Ops, and spent a few years on the road with custom 
cutters, harvesting the Midwest. He retired from the Gove County Road 
Department in 2019 after several years of road-grading which he 
especially liked in the remote stretches of the county around the 
Monument Rocks area. 

He got a kick out of ‘educating’ tourists, which 
mainly included making up (mostly) tall tales of the wild frontiers of 
western Kansas. He enjoyed tinkering with engines and going to auctions,
 gun shows, and tractor expos, and the occasional railway tours through 
the mountains of Colorado. He was a long-time attendee and former board 
member of the Country Chapel Church outside Oakley, KS. 


He was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his siblings,
 Dwight (Rhonda) Abell, of Oakley, KS, Gordon (Stacy) Abell, of Olathe, 
KS, Cathleen Abell, of Holcomb, KS, and Charlotte Bailey, of Olathe, KS;
 and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends. 


Cremation was chosen and no formal service will be held; the family will
 honor Roger in a private tradition on the ranch. For information or

Bernard Michael (Bernie) Adam, 67, of Garden City, passed from this life
 on May 6, 2020, after a long, courageous battle with cancer.


Bernie was born on January 11, 1953, in Plainville, KS.  The family 
moved to Esbon in 1956 where he went to school and worked on the family 
farm until they moved to Tipton in 1969. He completed his education at 
Tipton High School in 1971.  


After high school he started his lifelong work in construction and 
carpentry, eventually starting Bernard Adam Construction in Garden City.
  He found a true passion in helping people when he became the Housing 
Program Coordinator at the Center for Independent Living in Garden City 
for three years.  He built and remodeled many homes and businesses in 
Garden City and the surrounding area throughout the years and did 
beautiful work.


He married the love of his life, Mary Bergmann, in 1978 and moved to 
Garden City where they built a beautiful home and had three wonderful 
children, Katie, Kelsie, and Joseph.  


He is survived by his wife, Mary and children Katie Bird and husband 
Jeff of Rose Hill, KS, Kelsie McMillan and husband Brandon of Hays, KS, 
and Joseph of Kansas City, MO, his brother John Adam and wife Albertha 
of Salina, sister Kathryn Burghart and husband Bernie of Salina, sister 
Tilly Kirchner of Charlotte, NC, brother Ed Adam and wife Judy of 
Tipton, brother Jack Adam of Des Moines, Iowa, sister Suzie Talbert of Pasadena, CA, Barb Reinert and husband 
Alan of Wichita, along with numerous nieces, nephews and extended 
family.  He is also survived by four grandchildren that he loved dearly:
 Aiden, Sophia, Hailey, and Addyson.  


He was preceded in death by his parents Ben and Bertha Adam, sister 
Lenora Mick, sister Margaret Henry, brother Charles Adam, sister Loretta
 Murray, sister Mary Sharrow, and sister Caroline Whittecar. 


He was a member of St. Dominic Catholic Church and also served on the 
Property Commission as well as a Third Degree member of the Knights of 
Columbus.  


He enjoyed hunting and fishing with family and friends, vintage 
automobiles, and collecting coins.  His favorite way to spend a weekend 
would be attending an auction followed by an Old Western marathon, with 
Church and NASCAR on Sunday.  Bernie will be remembered for his strong 
faith in God, his courage, his amazing ability to fix anything, and his 
sense of humor that came out at the most unexpected moments.  He will be
 missed and remembered by everyone who knew him.


At an appropriate time, a Memorial Mass will be held at St. Dominic Catholic Church in Garden City.  


In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting memorials be given to St. 
Dominic Catholic Church, Hospice of St. Catherine Hospital, or the 
Heartland Cancer Center, all in Garden City and all in care of Garnand 
Funeral Home of Garden City.

James H. 'Jim' Shore

It is with great sadness that the family of Louise Pruitt (as she was 
commonly known) announces her passing.  She went home to be with the 
Lord, on April 2, 2020 while living at Christian Health Care Center, in 
Lynden, Washington.  She died of natural causes at age 98.  We shall 
miss her terribly but rejoice that she is with Jesus now, and she can 
dance because she no longer needs her wheelchair.

She was born in Hays, Kansas to Albert J. Sytsma and Bonnie Howell Sytsma, in 1921, where
 she grew up in a Christian home.  She loved taking care of her little 
sister, Bonnie, who was 13 years her junior.  She also had an older 
sister, Vivian.  She loved playing her cello, and listening to Classical
 music. As she grew she developed into a very friendly and kind person. 
 She was very intelligent and got good grades.  She always wanted to be a
 good girl, but had a side of her that wanted some adventure.

By 
College she decided to enroll at Fort Hays State College in her hometown
 of Hays, Kansas. She loved being involved in Student Government, 
theatre arts, playing in the Orchestra, and off campus she and her 
boyfriend loved to dance to the music of the late 1930's and early 
1940's.  She majored in Business, and minored in Music. She also started
 work as a Secretary at a dental office in Hays.

She married her 
College sweetheart and dance partner, William Varner, who had joined the
 Army to help with the World War 2 war effort.  They moved to New 
Jersey, where Bill's family lived. Unfortunately, after only two weeks 
of marriage, Bill was shipped off to war and within six months was 
killed in battle in Italy.  This news devastated Louise, and she decided
 she wanted to join the Waves or Wacs, but they wouldn't take her 
because she was a widow.  She did take up flying small planes though, 
and loved it.

She remembered a handsome boy in her class in High 
School by the name of Floyd Pruitt, who always wanted to carry her 
books, and sometime after Bill was killed, they started to date and 
eventually married on July 22, 1945.  He was already in the Navy, and so
 off went Louise to various places in the U.S. where Floyd was 
stationed.  He had been in the Navy for a few years before they 
re-connected.  He was stationed in Greenland, Australia, and the Pacific
 Theater, as a radio man in a biplane.  He spent 8 years in the Navy and
 by the end of the war he was a Chief Petty Officer. 

After the 
war, Floyd and Louise settled in Palo Alto, California, where he was 
accepted at Stanford.  He was very shy, but very intelligent.  He was a 
whiz at Math and Science.  He had a genius IQ, which Louise appreciated.
  She got a job in the City of Palo Alto Manager's office. and worked to
 put him through Stanford.

After 9 years of marriage, they had a 
baby girl, born on the Stanford Campus at the Old Palo Alto Hospital, on
 March 17, 1954.  They named her Penny Lynn Pruitt.  She had her daddy's
 dark hair and brown eyes.  Louise always wanted a brown-eyed 
brown-haired daughter.  Probably because she was a blue-eyed blonde.  It
 was a very happy household.

To fast forward, they had a happy 
life and stayed in Palo Alto where Louise took a job as the Executive 
Secretary of Downtown Palo Alto Inc.  She worked through the 1960's 
there and loved the job.  After that she worked as a Bookkeeper for 
various clients.

Floyd worked at Hewlett Packard in Palo Alto for
 many years and retired in 1983.  He started having heart problems and 
had about 5 heart attacks over the next year.  Sadly, he passed away on 
May 26, 1984.  The waves of loss rushed over Louise and her daughter.  
They all had such a close idyllic relationship with each other.

Louise
 soldiered on and finally moved out of the house she shared with Floyd 
for 30 years, and moved up to Lynden, Washington, a beautiful small 
bucolic town, where everyone was so friendly.  She lived there the rest 
of her life.  Her daughter and son-in-law, Rich, and their three 
children came up every year to visit during summer vacation. As her time
 was waning her daughter came up for the month of November every year 
from 2003-2016.  In April of 2017, Louise fell and ended up at the 
Nursing Home.  Penny, her daughter, spent a year with her, trying to get
 ready to bring her down to Livermore, where she lived with her husband 
Rich, and their youngest, Matthew.  She said she did not want to leave 
her beloved adopted State of Washington.  Since this was voted the "Best
 Nursing Home in Washington” the family let her have her wish.  After 
all, she was 95 when she fell. And she was 98 when she went to sleep 
never to step foot in this world again.  She is out of pain, and into 
the Joys of Heaven now.  Her family deeply misses her.  She was loved 
and adored by them all.

She will be remembered for her hospitable
 ways, always thinking of others other than herself.  She was kind, very
 intelligent, a good conversationalist, a great seamstress, a good cook 
and loved to entertain.  She flew small planes, rode elephants in India,
 square danced, ice skated at 50, had a small biography written about 
her, and got a letter from Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain, who had 
read her story. She was a hard worker, and loved playing the piano and 
singing in the Choir.  Her favorite saying was "A job worth doing is 
worth doing right" and   "Love your neighbor as yourself..."  from the 
Bible.  Her favorite hymn was "How Great Thou Art."

She was such a
 wonderful human being who loved Jesus, and everyone who met her adored 
her.  She was preceded in death by her parents, Albert J. and Bonnie 
Sytsma Bugbee, her sister Vivian Sytsma Finch, her first husband Bill 
Varner and her second husband Floyd Pruitt.  She leaves her daughter, 
Penny Elder, and son-in-law Rich Elder, her grandchildren, Tim Elder and
 wife Shannon and their 3 boys Justice, Hart, and True, her 
granddaughter Christie and fiancé Nick, and their daughter, Marissa, and
 grandson, Matthew Elder. She also leaves her sister, Bonnie Houston, 
niece, Caryn Rogers Bruce, and nephew, Brad Rogers, nephew Robin Finch, 
and niece, Patti Pruitt.  And all their children. She also leaves many 
dear friends.  We shall all miss her.

There will be no ceremony 
due to Covid 19.  We had a virtual service with just the funeral 
director who was so kind to record it for us.  It almost didn't work.  
But we got to see her casket and her dear friend and neighbor Paul 
Harris had some beautiful thoughts to share with us who watched, (just 
the immediate family).  This was all Louise wanted regarding memorial 
services.  It was in her will, just a small graveside service.  Covid 
kind of dictated it be like this anyway.  But we will all remember the 
beautiful thoughts of our beloved Mom, wife, sister, aunt, grandmother 
and great-grandmother.

Thank you to Gillies Funeral Home for all 
your help.  She is interred in a Crypt with her husband, Floyd, at the 
Moles Greenacres Memorial Park, in Ferndale, Washington.  In lieu of 
flowers, please consider donations to the National Federation of the 
Blind, 200 East Wells St. at Jernigan Place, Baltimore, MD. 21230.

"We have passed out of death and into Life." 1 John 3:14
        

Gillies Funeral Home is Lynden, Wa., was in charge of arrangements.

College she decided to enroll at Fort Hays State College in her hometown
 of Hays, Kansas. She loved being involved in Student Government, 
theatre arts, playing in the Orchestra, and off campus she and her 
boyfriend loved to dance to the music of the late 1930's and early 
1940's. She majored in Business, and minored in Music. She also started
 work as a Secretary at a dental office in Hays.She married her 
College sweetheart and dance partner, William Varner, who had joined the
 Army to help with the World War 2 war effort. They moved to New 
Jersey, where Bill's family lived. Unfortunately, after only two weeks 
of marriage, Bill was shipped off to war and within six months was 
killed in battle in Italy. This news devastated Louise, and she decided
 she wanted to join the Waves or Wacs, but they wouldn't take her 
because she was a widow. She did take up flying small planes though, 
and loved it.She remembered a handsome boy in her class in High 
School by the name of Floyd Pruitt, who always wanted to carry her 
books, and sometime after Bill was killed, they started to date and 
eventually married on July 22, 1945. He was already in the Navy, and so
 off went Louise to various places in the U.S. where Floyd was 
stationed. He had been in the Navy for a few years before they 
re-connected. He was stationed in Greenland, Australia, and the Pacific
 Theater, as a radio man in a biplane. He spent 8 years in the Navy and
 by the end of the war he was a Chief Petty Officer. After the 
war, Floyd and Louise settled in Palo Alto, California, where he was 
accepted at Stanford. He was very shy, but very intelligent. He was a 
whiz at Math and Science. He had a genius IQ, which Louise appreciated.
 She got a job in the City of Palo Alto Manager's office. and worked to
 put him through Stanford.After 9 years of marriage, they had a 
baby girl, born on the Stanford Campus at the Old Palo Alto Hospital, on
 March 17, 1954. They named her Penny Lynn Pruitt. She had her daddy's
 dark hair and brown eyes. Louise always wanted a brown-eyed 
brown-haired daughter. Probably because she was a blue-eyed blonde. It
 was a very happy household.To fast forward, they had a happy 
life and stayed in Palo Alto where Louise took a job as the Executive 
Secretary of Downtown Palo Alto Inc. She worked through the 1960's 
there and loved the job. After that she worked as a Bookkeeper for 
various clients.Floyd worked at Hewlett Packard in Palo Alto for
 many years and retired in 1983. He started having heart problems and 
had about 5 heart attacks over the next year. Sadly, he passed away on 
May 26, 1984. The waves of loss rushed over Louise and her daughter. 
They all had such a close idyllic relationship with each other.Louise
 soldiered on and finally moved out of the house she shared with Floyd 
for 30 years, and moved up to Lynden, Washington, a beautiful small 
bucolic town, where everyone was so friendly. She lived there the rest 
of her life. Her daughter and son-in-law, Rich, and their three 
children came up every year to visit during summer vacation. As her time
 was waning her daughter came up for the month of November every year 
from 2003-2016. In April of 2017, Louise fell and ended up at the 
Nursing Home. Penny, her daughter, spent a year with her, trying to get
 ready to bring her down to Livermore, where she lived with her husband 
Rich, and their youngest, Matthew. She said she did not want to leave 
her beloved adopted State of Washington. Since this was voted the "Best
 Nursing Home in Washington” the family let her have her wish. After 
all, she was 95 when she fell. And she was 98 when she went to sleep 
never to step foot in this world again. She is out of pain, and into 
the Joys of Heaven now. Her family deeply misses her. She was loved 
and adored by them all.She will be remembered for her hospitable
 ways, always thinking of others other than herself. She was kind, very
 intelligent, a good conversationalist, a great seamstress, a good cook 
and loved to entertain. She flew small planes, rode elephants in India,
 square danced, ice skated at 50, had a small biography written about 
her, and got a letter from Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain, who had 
read her story. She was a hard worker, and loved playing the piano and 
singing in the Choir. Her favorite saying was "A job worth doing is 
worth doing right" and "Love your neighbor as yourself..." from the 
Bible. Her favorite hymn was "How Great Thou Art."She was such a
 wonderful human being who loved Jesus, and everyone who met her adored 
her. She was preceded in death by her parents, Albert J. and Bonnie 
Sytsma Bugbee, her sister Vivian Sytsma Finch, her first husband Bill 
Varner and her second husband Floyd Pruitt. She leaves her daughter, 
Penny Elder, and son-in-law Rich Elder, her grandchildren, Tim Elder and
 wife Shannon and their 3 boys Justice, Hart, and True, her 
granddaughter Christie and fiancé Nick, and their daughter, Marissa, and
 grandson, Matthew Elder. She also leaves her sister, Bonnie Houston, 
niece, Caryn Rogers Bruce, and nephew, Brad Rogers, nephew Robin Finch, 
and niece, Patti Pruitt. And all their children. She also leaves many 
dear friends. We shall all miss her.There will be no ceremony 
due to Covid 19. We had a virtual service with just the funeral 
director who was so kind to record it for us. It almost didn't work. 
But we got to see her casket and her dear friend and neighbor Paul 
Harris had some beautiful thoughts to share with us who watched, (just 
the immediate family). This was all Louise wanted regarding memorial 
services. It was in her will, just a small graveside service. Covid 
kind of dictated it be like this anyway. But we will all remember the 
beautiful thoughts of our beloved Mom, wife, sister, aunt, grandmother 
and great-grandmother.Thank you to Gillies Funeral Home for all 
your help. She is interred in a Crypt with her husband, Floyd, at the 
Moles Greenacres Memorial Park, in Ferndale, Washington. In lieu of 
flowers, please consider donations to the National Federation of the 
Blind, 200 East Wells St. at Jernigan Place, Baltimore, MD. 21230."We have passed out of death and into Life." 1 John 3:14
 Gillies Funeral Home is Lynden, Wa., was in charge of arrangements.

John Wilbur 'Papa John' White

Charles Leroy Lewis was born June 5th, 1940 to Charles Walter and Neola 
Fern (Bennett) Lewis in Elk Falls, Kansas. He grew up attending two 
different country schools, and his school days ended when he was in the 
9th grade in Independence, Kansas.


	When Charles was 12, he started working on a Dairy farm. He would 
go in every morning at 4 AM, work until school started and go back once 
school let out for the day. He would get a nickel a week of his wages, 
(which he saved for a new bicycle, but the rest was given to his 
parents. He also vividly remembered working on his Granny Bennett’s 
farm, doing all that was required. His Grandpa would hitch the horses to
 the wagon for him and Granny so they could go to the corn field 
together to bring home a wagon full of corn. Charles would unload the 
wagon while Granny made him some lunch, and then back to the field they 
would go to get another wagon load. He also spent many years ranching 
and hauling cattle. He took a lot of joy in sharing his ranching day 
stories with his grandkids.


	Charles was an only child until the age of 13. At which time sister
 Diana Fern, and twin brother David Earl were born. 3 years later he 
welcomed another set of twin sisters Nola Faye and Lola Mae.


	At age 17 he was set up on a blind date with Ellen Sitsler of 
Coffeyville, Kansas. He was late for that date because his car broke 
down on the way, which made Ellen not want to go with him. Ellen’s 
father made her go on the date that night and the couple was later 
married in Miami, Oklahoma on March 23rd, 1958. They started their 
family in Coffeyville, Kansas where Carlo Mae, Miranda Jo, Charles LeRoy
 Jr., Terry Lee, Mary Janine, and Timmy Ray were born.


	Charles worked hard all his life to provide for his family and 
started working for Clear Creek Incorporated in 1970. In 1979 they 
transferred him to Hill City, and he retired from the same company in 
2008. After retirement Charles and Ellen enjoyed their many traveling 
adventures. Most of them were spent with Diana and Gary. Some of his 
greatest joys were spending time with his Cousin Phil while seeing his 
horses and mules and helping several different farmers with harvest.  He
 also enjoyed, reading his Louis L’Amour books, a good Western movie, 
gardening, and going to rodeos. He took pride in being his grandkids 
taxi driver, even though the grandkids thought he was the slowest driver
 in Graham County.  


	Charles was proceeded in death by his Wife Ellen, Daughter Carlo, Parents, Brother David, and Sister Lola.


	Left to celebrate his life are Jo (David) McDermott of Hill City, 
Chuck (Amanda) Lewis of Hill City, Terry (Bodie) Cooper of Hill City, 
Janine (Kurtis) Shearer of Norton, Tim (Elizabeth) Lewis of Hill City, 
14 Grandchildren, 14 Great Grandchildren, and several 
step-Grandchildren., Sisters Diana (Gary) Hackler of Bartlesville, Ok., 
Nola (Steve) Kjellberg) of Belpre, Ks.  We also cannot forget about the 
many kids who lived with Charles and Ellen throughout the years.


	One of the greatest gifts our Dad showed us through his life was 
how to be a Godly man who walked by Faith. He accepted Jesus Christ as 
his Lord and Savior at a young age at Emmanuel Baptist Church. His slow,
 steadfast pace in life saw him achieve many successes with work, but 
his legacy of family will live on in his children, and grandchildren for
 ages to come.


	Dad, Pops, Papa Charles, Charlie…. We love you.
