Jerry Jerome Wedermyer passed away peacefully on January 17, 2024, at the age of 83 in WaKeeney, KS. Jerry was born on November 10, 1940, in Hays, KS. He was one of six children born to V.V. and Emma (Mumert) Wedermyer. Jerry was a lifelong resident of Trego County and the WaKeeney area.&nbsp;

Jerry attended grade school in a one-room country schoolhouse in rural Trego County. He graduated from Trego Community High School with the class of 1959. Jerry began working on the family farm at a young age and started farming on his own while still in high school. He farmed and raised livestock in Trego County along with working various other jobs in the area. He was baptized and confirmed in the Christian faith at the Presbyterian Church in WaKeeney. He was united in marriage to Kay Ries on February 25, 1962, at the Bethlehem Lutheran Church in WaKeeney, KS. Jerry &amp; Kay were blessed with two children, Daniel and Deborah. Jerry was a member of the Bethlehem Lutheran Church, where he served on the church council, Sunday School Superintendent, and with the church youth group in his younger days. He was a skilled horseman, talented roper, and excellent marksman. Although you would never hear Jerry brag or display any of his ribbons, trophies, or awards, as he was a very humble man!

He taught many kids how to drive cars &amp; tractors, how to shoot, how to ride horses, how to fix things, etc. Jerry was a “people person” who always made time to listen and visit with everyone. He never met a stranger! Jerry always saw the best in everyone and something good in any situation. He could bring a smile to anyone’s face with his cheery outlook and great sense of humor. He was always willing to lend a helping hand to family, friends, neighbors, &amp; even strangers without ever expecting anything in return. Jerry will be greatly missed by many!&nbsp;

Jerry is survived by his loving wife, Kay, of the home. His two children, Daniel Wedermyer (Laura Bryant) of Rio Rancho, New Mexico; Debby Helmer (Tim Helmer) of Overland Park, Kansas.

On Tuesday, January 30, 2024, we mourn the loss of a beloved son Cassidy Vern Russell. He was gentle and lovable, kind and ornery. He lived life until his body gave out.

He was determined, stubborn, passionate, and funny as all get out. The void left will be too big to ever be filled. Please keep his family in your prayers.

Services for Candace Marie Kauffman, of Bloomington, will be held Saturday, February 3, 2024, at 3 p.m. at St. Stephen Lutheran Church in Bloomington. Visitation will take place Friday, February 2, 2024, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Washburn-McReavy Dawn Valley Chapel in Bloomington. Candace Marie Flemmer Kauffman died January 23, 2024, at home in Bloomington, MN from complications related to glioblastoma.She was born in Aberdeen, SD on May 3, 1950 to Gordon and Amy (Somers) Flemmer. Candace was baptized and confirmed at Zion Lutheran Church in Andover, SD. Raised on the prairie, her parents and grandparents instilled in her a strong sense of curiosity which developed into a lifelong love of travel. 

The first child of Gordon and Amy, Candace was the proud sister of 3 brothers - Kim, Jon, and her baby brother Ross. She was raised in Andover, attending grade school there and later middle and high school in nearby Groton. She excelled in school and music, playing both the French horn and piano as well as singing in All State Choir. She was also a member of the debate team, a skill set that served her well throughout her life. Upon high school graduation, Candace attended South Dakota State University and majored in English, graduating in 1972. While living in Lincoln, Nebraska she met Daniel Kauffman whom she married May 25, 1974.

After the marriage she and Daniel spent one year in Waterloo, IA for work before moving to Hays, Kansas where Candace taught high school English and journalism in Victoria, KS and Daniel accepted a position as an economics professor at Fort Hays State University. While living there they made lifelong friends and welcomed their first child, a son - Christopher. In 1983 they relocated to Winona, MN as Daniel accepted a teaching position at Winona State University. Shortly thereafter, they had the surprise of a lifetime as they welcomed identical twin girls - Amy and Beth - a shock to all, including the medical staff. Candace spent her early years in Winona raising her children before returning to school to earn a degree in accounting and becoming a CPA. Her perseverance in attending classes while caring for her family taught her children the importance of resiliency. Candace appreciated the scenery of bluff country and would remind her family to take in the beauty of the river valley, especially the barges.

Family was the center of Candace's life. She was a devoted mother and grandmother, always willing to provide guidance, and was an excellent proofreader. She served as the family historian, and could often be observed taking photographs at holidays and celebrations. Candace shared her love of travel with her family and coordinated annual vacations, a tradition she was able to maintain throughout her life. She and Daniel were able to visit many places in Europe, the U.S., and Canada. Frequently, her children would be lucky enough to join them during their travels. A doting grandmother, Candace cherished spending time with her granddaughter, Madeline.

Candace is survived by her husband of nearly 50 years, Daniel; her children: Chris (Juae Son) Kauffman, Silver Spring, MD; Amy (Robert) Kinyua, Eagan, MN; and Beth (Kevin) DeRonne, Edina, MN; her beloved granddaughter Madeline DeRonne; her brother Ross (Cristy) Flemmer; and her nephews Lucas and Jacob Flemmer. She was preceded in death by her parents, and her brothers Jon and Kim.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to organizations Candace cared for deeply and supported generously: Second Harvest Heartland, Books for Africa, and St. Stephen Lutheran Church in Bloomington, MN.<a href="http://www.washburn-mcreavy.com/" target="_blank">www.Washburn-McReavy.com</a>Dawn Valley 952-941-7686&nbsp;&nbsp;
