Raymond Dale Lambert passed away peacefully Saturday, February 15, 2020 
at St Francis Hospital in Wichita, Kansas. He was born on August 19,1927
 to Newell and Mildred (Baker) Lambert on their farm two miles north and
 one mile west of Thornburg, Kansas. Dale was the third of six children.
 His siblings were Dwayne, Velda, Joe, Elsie Mae, and Sharon. Dale was 
proud of his Thornburg heritage and it was there that many of his life 
lessons were learned. His parents instilled a strong work ethic, the 
importance of family and a love for the Lord.   He attended Pleasant 
Hill and Thornburg schools. He was raised and baptized in the Thornburg 
Evangelical United Brethren Church that his great grand-parents had 
helped form.


He graduated from Smith Center High School in 1946. That same year 
he was employed by Fred Simmons who was part owner of Simmons-Olliff 
Furniture and Mortuary. This was the beginning of a 45 year career in a 
business of which he would eventually be the major share-holder. As a 
mentor, Fred was a major influence in Dale’s life by setting an example 
 of professionalism in running a business and setting a standard of 
treating people with dignity and respect and of giving back to the 
community.  Dale graduated from The St. Louis School of Mortuary Science
 in 1950.


While in high school Dale met Kay Duvall. They were married December
 24,1949 and they were the parents of three children, Kent, Kinda, and 
Kris. 


The family moved to Kensington, Kansas in 1957 where Dale managed 
the Simmons-Olliff furniture store and mortuary. He became a partner in 
the business in 1959. They spent 27 years in Kensington, serving a  
wonderful community and forming life-long friendships.


Dale and Kay moved back to Smith Center in 1984 where they managed 
the funeral Home and furniture store until Dale retired in 1992. 


After retirement Dale and Kay liked to travel and continued to be 
involved in the Smith Center community attending school and church 
activities. They found great joy in their grandchildren, Chris and Amy.

their grandkids friends.


Kay passed away from cancer on March 12,1996. Dale lost his wife and
 partner of 46 years. They had worked together to build a strong and 
loving marriage, to raise their children, and to grow a successful 
business. 


Dale moved to Wichita when he married Norma Tomlinson Stoddard on 
August 9, 1997. Norma, her daughters, Sharon, Sandra, and Stephanie, and
 their families brought many blessings to Dale’s life. They enjoyed 
traveling and keeping up with all  their grand-kids and great-grand-kids
 activities. They welcomed and brought both their families together for 
Thanksgiving Dinner for many years. 


Dale was a sports fan all his life and was a fierce competitor. He 
played baseball on various local teams and football in high school. He 
was an excellent bowler and won the Kansas State Seniors Championship in
 1989.


 He coached his son’s baseball team and announced the football games
 for Kensington Goldbugs for many years. He loved watching his favorite 
teams; The Royals, The Chiefs, and KU basketball. He was passionate 
about golf and was always trying to improve his game. He played almost 
every day, when weather permitted, at the Hesston Golf course.


Throughout his life Dale was active in several organizations. He was
 the President of the Chamber of Commerce of Smith Center, the 
Commercial Club of Kensington, and the Kensington Lion’s Club. He was

Council in Kensington and also served as their mayor. He was the 
Chairman of the Board for the Methodist Church in Kensington and in

 and Sharon Lambert; brothers-in-law, Lynn Schenk, David Miller, Ralph

KENSINGTON—Mary Ann Theresa Margaret Dreiling, age 79, passed away 
Sunday, February 9, 2020 at the Arbor Court Retirement Community in 
Salina, KS. 

 She was born the daughter of Sabina Weigel Jones on July 
21, 1940, in Russell, KS.  She attended Russell High School and 
graduated in the class of 1958.   She went on to receive her Bachelor of
 Music Education at Bethany College at Lindsborg, Kansas, graduating 
with the class of 1962.  Her first teaching position was in Gorham, KS 
where the secretary set her up on a blind date with her future husband, 
and love of her life, James J. Dreiling.


She was united in marriage to James J. Dreiling on December 28th, 
1963 at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Russell, KS.  They were blessed 
with 2 daughters, Sharon Marie and Jamie Lynn while residing in Hays, 
KS.  In 1974, the family moved to Kensington, KS where they purchased 
the infamous pool hall.  As mom got tired of “flipping hamburgers”, she 
got back into teaching music by taking a position at Downs, KS for 2 
years.  Soon after, she became the band and vocal teacher at USD 238 for
 the next 17 years, in Kensington and Kirwin.  Jim and Mary Ann were 
blessed with 5 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren.  Mary Ann 
enjoyed attending their birthdays, programs, ball games, and 
graduations.  Hobbies she enjoyed were sewing nearly every Halloween 
costume for the grandchildren over the years, crocheting, reading, 
playing cards at the Senior Center, and of course her 4 o’clock coffee 
time at the Corner.  Other activities she enjoyed included getting her 
hair done, shopping, riding her bike at rehab, and attending Blues and 
Jazz concerts in Salina. Despite Mary Ann’s declining health, she never 
let it spoil the good stuff.  Everyone loved this little lady for her 
sweet spirit, positive attitude, and her sass!  


Mary Ann was a member and/or served on the board of many 
organizations such as KMEA, MENC, KNEA, NEA, AHSGR, Retired Teachers 
Association, and the Kensington Public Library Board.


Mary Ann is survived by her daughters, Sharon (Keith) Kresin and

<a href="http://www.kofc.org/en/news-room/articles/knights-mourn-passing-virgil-dechant.html">Knights of Columbus</a>

The Knights of Columbus mourns the loss of Past 
Supreme Knight Virgil C. Dechant, who passed away in his sleep at the 
age of 89 during the night of February 15, 2020. He was the Order’s 
longest-serving supreme knight, holding the office from 1977 to 2000.

“God has called home a good man and one of the 
Knights’ great leaders,” said Supreme Knight Carl Anderson. “Virgil 
Dechant used to say that his goal was to leave the Knights better than 
he found it, and in myriad ways, he accomplished that. He leaves a 
lasting legacy and an excellent example of what it means to be a Knight 
and a fraternalist. Nowhere is this more true than in his home state of 
Kansas, which remains in many ways a model jurisdiction.”

Virgil Dechant joined the Knights in 1949 and was a 
member of LaCrosse (Kansas) Council 2970 and St. Augustine Council 2340 
in Liebanthal, Kansas. A very successful businessman, in addition to 
operating a private farm in Kansas, Dechant owned and operated his own 
car dealership and farm equipment firm. Dechant came to New Haven in 
1967 to serve as the supreme secretary. Ten years later, he was elected 
supreme knight.

As supreme knight, Virgil Dechant oversaw tremendous
 growth in the Order’s membership as well as in its assets and insurance
 business, while also opening the Order to greater involvement by the 
wives and families of its members. In addition, Mr. Dechant forged a 
close relationship with the Vatican during the pontificate of St. John 
Paul II, leading the Order to sponsor numerous renovation projects – 
including of the façade of St. Peter’s Basilica, and working with the 
pope to promote the faith in Eastern Europe, which was then behind the 
iron curtain.

Dechant is survived by his wife, Ann, their four children and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Herman was also famous for his Christmas lights at his home on Zenobia Street in Denver, that grew bigger and bigger over 50 years. He and his wife dressed as Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus to hand out candy to children and collect donations for the Children's Hospital.

Herman was a proud member of the Military Honor Guard, VFW, American Legion and Knights of Columbus. He is survived by his siblings Lee and Dorothy, his children, Darrell and Judy, his grandchildren and their spouses Amber and Dustin, Kyle and Brittany, Audrey and Alex, Ava and Kevin, and Sheila and Luis, eight great-grandchildren, and his most recent bandmates Dolores, Dale and Dan.

Jack Mersch, son of Jim and Fern (Allen) Mersch, passed away February 
11, 2020, one day after his 78th birthday. Jack was born in 1942 in 
rural Edmond, Kansas, the youngest in a family of five. Growing up, Jack
 acquired a strong work ethic from his parents who struggled as farmers 
and ranchers living on the Gudgell Ranch homestead during the depression
 years. Hard work was the rule of life for this and all families during 
this time period. But Fern and Jim knew that work and play mixed well as
 they raised their family. We remember fondly the stories of his 
childhood that Jack loved to share about his many relatives and friends 
who centered their lives around Jim and Fern. Their hospitality and 
kindness were the very foundation of Jack’s personality throughout his 
life. Jack recalled how his mother welcomed all to their table, no 
matter how limited their resources were. She always took care of 
everyone who arrived invited or not. Jack learned from her that helping 
people and taking care of family were what life was about.


After high school Jack attended Fort Hays State University, 
graduating in 1965 with a degree in Botany and Agriculture. The sudden 
death of his father led Jack back home to Edmond where he took over the 
farm operation and the care of his mother. In 1966 Jack met and married 
Sherry Williams. He became a father to Todd and Dennis. Later he moved 
his family to Hill City where he purchased the local tavern from Ben 
Dreiling. In 1972 he began his new career as the owner and operator of 
Jack’s Lounge which later became the J Bar S. Jack’s personality suited 
his business perfectly. He had a dream and worked diligently to become a
 success. At six feet three inches, with bright red hair, humorous wit 
and country boy charm, he was a character who was so likeable that once 
you liked him, you loved him. He attracted customers to the bar, 
customers who became his best friends – his “family”. Jack hustled 
behind the bar with a speed and determination that no glass was ever 
going to be left empty. He served up drinks along with his stories and 
friendship. If you came in as a stranger to him, you left as a new 
friend. The passing years saw many different bartenders who worked for 
Jack, including both of his sons.


After his divorce from Sherry in 1987, Jack continued to run the 
bar, celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2012. By this time Jack had 
become the proud grandfather of Faith and Claire, the daughters of 
Dennis and Tammy. In 2014 health issues forced Jack to retire, and he 
sold the bar to his son Todd and wife Sandy. 


Through the years Jack was involved in many activities and 
organizations. He was an active member in the local Elks Lodge and 
Chamber of Commerce as well as being a volunteer county fireman. Jack 
had a vital part in forming what is now known as Graham County 
Sportsman’s Trap Club. He 


attended many carp derbies in Norton before he founded his own 
annual carp derby now known as the Jack Mersch Outlaw Rod and Reel   


Fishing Tournament which is usually held at Webster State Lake.  In 
1982 Jack became the founding father and chairman of our local Ducks 
Unlimited Chapter. Along with his committee members, Jack led this 
organization as it became more successful each year with its annual 
November banquet. He remained actively involved until 2013.


Jack was a man with many interests and hobbies. His knowledge of 
botany was evident in all his gardening, beautiful flower beds and 
planting trees. He grew up with coon dogs and loved the sport of hunting
 and shooting guns, a fondness he passed on to his sons. Throughout the 
years, his interest in animals inspired him to raise all kinds of birds,
 rabbits, fish and dogs. The more exotic the breed of chicken, the more 
excited he was about incubating the eggs and producing more to sell or 
trade at the Sunday bird sales.


Above all else, fishing was Jack’s favorite of all his outdoor 
activities. His home away from home was Webster Lake where he camped 
with his family and friends. He enjoyed shooting pool and was an avid KU
 basketball fan. Retirement also found him sometimes lying on the couch 
with a stack of Louis L’Amour books. He loved old western movies, John 
Wayne movies being his favorite. Family life was so important to him. 
Keeping alive his family’s history was a top priority. Through the years
 he hosted many family reunions where he shared so many stories of 
aunts, uncles and cousins, times of the past – his heritage.


Perhaps the biggest joy in Jack’s life was being a grandfather. He 
was always thrilled to be with his granddaughters, spoiling them with 
his love. He was certainly a great grandfather and bragged about them to
 everyone. As Jack’s health further declined, he moved into Dawson Place
 Nursing Home, living out his final days. 


Jack was preceded in death by his parents, brothers Don and Bruce 
Lloyd, and sister Jeanice. Survivors include his two sons Todd and wife 
Sandy, Dennis and wife Tammy, and granddaughters Faith and Claire, all 
of Hill City, and a sister Marge Wilson of Wyoming. Jack was a true 
legend in our community, although he remained humble to the end. He will
 be forever remembered and sorely missed by all.

was always thrilled to be with his granddaughters, spoiling them with 
his love. He was certainly a great grandfather and bragged about them to
 everyone. As Jack’s health further declined, he moved into Dawson Place
 Nursing Home, living out his final days. 
Jack was preceded in death by his parents, brothers Don and Bruce 
Lloyd, and sister Jeanice. Survivors include his two sons Todd and wife 
Sandy, Dennis and wife Tammy, and granddaughters Faith and Claire, all 
of Hill City, and a sister Marge Wilson of Wyoming. Jack was a true 
legend in our community, although he remained humble to the end. He will
 be forever remembered and sorely missed by all.Click <a href="https://www.stinemetzfh.com/obituaries/Jack-Mersch?obId=11042052#/celebrationWall">HERE</a> for service details.

Curtis Parke of Collyer, KS passed away on February 11, 2020 in Lenexa, KS surrounded by his family. He was born in Quinter, Kansas to Peter and Rose Parke on September 2, 1929. He graduated from Trego Community High School in WaKeeney in 1946. Curtis briefly attended the University of Kansas before being called to serve in the Korean War. Curtis married Pauline Reitcheck on February 26, 1957.

Curtis is the youngest of five children, born to a family of Irish and Czech immigrants. Though his family faced the difficulties of the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl, he recounts a happy childhood on the family farm. Curtis considered himself extremely blessed to have lived his entire life farming this same land on the Hackberry Creek and raising cattle on the green Kansas pastures.

Curtis’ most endearing qualities were his unstoppable optimism and his enduring enthusiasm. He constantly looked on the bright side and saw the good in everything. His outlook on life was reflected in the many passions that he held, namely singing, music, storytelling, and history. Trips to town often became music sessions for his children, and anytime there was an audience, a joke or story would be told.

Curtis was a lifelong student and teacher for his children and grandchildren, especially in the areas of current events and politics. He always encouraged his children to be informed and engaged in the world around them. Nothing made him prouder than to hear about the many accomplishments of his grandchildren.

Undoubtedly, one of the most impactful events in his life was his service in the U.S. Army. He brought back many stories from his time in Korea, as well as a Purple Heart. But most importantly, Curtis brought back a perspective that he carried with him his entire life: people all over the world, no matter race or religion, share a common hope for peace and prosperity. This principle was reflected in the kindness and acceptance he extended to all people.

Curtis was deeply devoted to his Catholic faith. He was a lifelong member of Christ the King Catholic Church in WaKeeney and the Knights of Columbus. Though Curtis’ family and friends feel a deep void with his passing, they understand that he is now at peace. His legacy and memory are firmly implanted in their hearts and minds.&nbsp; `&nbsp;

Curtis leaves to mourn his passing five children and fifteen grandchildren: daughter Mary (Carlos) of Phoenix, AZ and sons Sean (Megan, Colin, and Nevan Madrid; daughter Susan (Martin) of Lenexa, KS and children Emilio, Ryan, and Geena Fajardo; son Eugene (Tracey) of Noblesville, IN and children Liam and Madeline Parke; daughter Lori (Brian) of Berryton, KS and children Jon, Jacob, and Jessica Belleau; daughter Cindy (Bill) of Shawnee, KS and children Jordan (Katlynn, Caitlin, Branson, and Nicholas Billinger. He was preceded in death by his wife, Pauline, parents, Peter and Rose, and siblings, Helen, Thomas, Robert, and Leo.&nbsp;

Mass of Christian Burial will be 10:30 a.m., Monday, February 17, 2020, at Christ the King Catholic Church, WaKeeney.&nbsp; Burial will be in the Kansas Veterans' Cemetery, WaKeeney.

Visitation and viewing will be Sunday evening, from 5 to 7 at the funeral home in WaKeeney.&nbsp; A parish vigil service will follow at 7:00 p.m., also at the funeral home.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions are suggested to Christ the King Catholic Church, VFW Post 3449, or Smoky Hills Public Television.&nbsp; Donations made to the organization may be sent to Schmitt Funeral Home, 336 North 12th St., WaKeeney, KS&nbsp; 67672.
