Sunday, January 17th, 1943-Tuesday, November 28th, 2023

Raymond Fay Baumfalk, 80, of Atwood passed away Tuesday, Nov. 28, 2023, in Colby.

Raymond was born on the family farm east of Atwood on Jan. 17, 1943, to Clarence and Selma (Gray) Baumfalk. He was the youngest of three children. Brother Virgil Ray was the oldest, then sister Clara May. Raymond grew up on the farm and attended Atwood Schools.

In high school, he played football and loved to wrestle. Raymond left Kansas to ride the rodeo circuit for a few years before returning to the family farm north of Atwood to help his father. He was a hard worker and no stranger to the local sale barns.

Raymond married Patricia Lynn Pearson on Aug. 27, 1960. To this union were born two children, Jonathan Guy and Don Ray. They lived on a farm near the Achilles area for many years until a tragic farm accident placed their son Jonathan amongst the angels in heaven on June 28, 1984. 

Patricia joined Jonathan in heaven on Aug. 3, 2010. Raymond spent the majority of his life doing what he loved — farming, gardening, raising livestock and even a little coon hunting in his earlier days. He had a life full of many wild stories that would make one raise an eyebrow, but sure enough, his stories were actually true. The pet deer, Rosebud, and the pet buffalo, Spur, are prime examples.

Raymond was blessed to have a loving relationship with Bert Schmidt, which started 32 years ago. Together they built a life north of Atwood where countless numbers of memories were made for many – human and animal alike. It would always be a wild guess if one would be greeted by a Great Pyrenees or a shotgun. There wasn’t an animal Raymond nor Bert would turn away which established the Baumfalk’s Misfit Haven where countless animals were nursed back to health. Between the animals and gardening, there was never a dull moment, an adventure to be had and a memory to be made. 

Although Raymond could be described as intimidating, bullheaded, stubborn and rough around the edges for most of his life- he, enjoyed a long life, blessed with family and friends of which he truly treasured visits from. Those visits with Raymond will now be missed.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Clarence and Selma; his siblings, Virgil Ray “Bud” Baumfalk and Clara May Oliverius; his brother-in-law, Roger Oliverius; his son, Jonathan; and his nephew, Virgil Ray (VR) Baumfalk.

Survivors include his loving companion, Bert Schmidt; son, Don (Pamela) Baumfalk of Hays; daughter, Ida (Eric) Sander of Bison, S.D.; grandsons, Joshua Baumfalk of Westminster, Colo., Johnathan Baumfalk of Hays, and Kyle Sander of Bison, S.D.; granddaughters, Alicia Baumfalk of Atwood, and Kinley Sander of Bison, S.D.; many honorary grandkids and great grandkids; as well as many other family and friends.

Per Raymond’s request, he will be laid to rest looking over his favorite hay field. A memorial gathering will be from 4 to 6 p.m. Friday, Dec. 1 at the Prairie Developmental Center, DSNWK (PDC) of Atwood.

Memorials may be made to Baalmann Mortuary, PO Box 391, Colby, KS 67701 for funeral expenses and to benefit the local 4-H.

Condolences can be sent to PO Box 402, Atwood, KS 67730. For more information visit <a href="http://baalmannmortuary.com">baalmannmortuary.com</a>.

Roy Irvin Jacobs passed away unexpectedly at his home on Nov. 15, 2023, in McCook due to a massive heart attack. Roy’s wish for his end of life was that he died quickly, was happy, and was not alone. God granted him his wishes. He was happy in the moments before his death and was with his girlfriend Sharla.

Roy was born on Nov. 10, 1960, in Hays, to Irvin and Verna (Gross) Jacobs. He was the middle child of nine! He attended school in Hays and graduated from Hays High School in 1979. Roy served his country honorably in the U.S. Army from 1985-1989. He was an expert marksman with the M-16 rifle and in the grenade. He spent most of his service time in Germany and had many interesting tales to tell from his time in uniform.

Roy married Eileen Schumacher and to this union his only daughter, Jenna, was born. He later married Jana (Balthazor) Guthrie.&nbsp;

Roy worked many different jobs in his life. He was in the oilfields, and he also had years of experience in construction. Roy spent most of his work life, though, behind the wheel of a semi, owning and operating J&amp;S Trucking out of Phillipsburg, for 20 years. He resided in Kansas and Nebraska but was able to feed his adventurous spirit with 18 wheels. 

Adaptability and resilience were two of his many strengths. Punctuality, reliability, and taking good care of things are traits Roy not only valued on the job but honored with loved ones as well. He was most recently employed as a truck driver with Frenchman Valley Coop in McCook, Neb. He had wanted a change in life and the chance to be home every night.&nbsp; He appreciated how stress-free it allowed him to be.

Roy’s idea of heaven was fresh air, sunshine and sometimes the joy of sitting by a firepit. He was an outdoorsman at heart. Roy enjoyed country cruising and offroad adventures. He loved being on the water, boating, fishing or floating down the river and just lounging in a stock tank.

Roy was a devoted father and stepfather. He was known for his generous spirit and was always ready to lend a helping hand. Recently, he donated his time and skills to the Habitat for Humanity house in McCook.&nbsp; Notable for his goofy sense of humor and a soft spot for kids, Roy had no problem becoming a big kid himself to entertain the little ones. He had a knack for most anything hands on, whether it be under the hood of any vehicle or renovations at home, he was a natural. He leaves behind a legacy of love and will be deeply missed by family, friends and coworkers.&nbsp;

Roy was preceded in death by his grandparents, George and Anna (Dome) Jacobs and Alois and Cecelia (Leiker) Gross; parents, Irvin and Verna (Gross) Jacobs; stepmother, Carolyn (Dinkel) Jacobs; wife, Jana Jacobs; sister, Carla (Jacobs) Messmore and brother, Vern Jacobs.&nbsp;

Survivors include his beloved girlfriend, Sharla Trosper; daughter, Jenna Jacobs (Dylan Cobb), Jeremy and Alicia Norton, Jasen and Tanya Guthrie, Shelby Hudson, and Haley Hudson; grandchildren: Adrianna Cobb, Kendry Cobb, Vincent Cobb, Taylor Norton, Olivia Norton, Kennedie Norton, Jakob Norton, and Mason Hudson; great-grandchildren: Paxton and Ryftin; siblings, Neal and Judy Jacobs, Doyle Jacobs, Gary Jacobs, Marvin and Debra (Jacobs) Roth, Bryan and Dora (Jacobs) Gauntt, and David and Jenny (Jacobs) Arndt, stepbrothers, Lee Dinkel and wife Danna and Jeff Dinkel and wife Marcia.

Cremation was chosen, and a celebration of life service is being planned for January 2024 with burial to follow in the Cambridge Cemetery, Cambridge, Neb.

Memorials are suggested to the family of Roy Jacobs for future designation. Online condolences may be left at <a href="http://herrmannfh.com">herrmannfh.com</a>. Arrangements have been entrusted to Herrmann-Jones Funeral Chapel of McCook.

Kayleen A. Haselhorst, age 73, died Sunday, Nov. 26, 2023, at Redbud Village - Plainville.

Kayleen Haselhorst, lovingly known as Kay, passed away peacefully on Nov. 26, 2023, at Redbud Village, Plainville. She was born on Aug. 28, 1950, in Damar to her loving parents, Albert and Rosa Hamel.

Kay was surrounded by her family and priest in her final moments. Throughout her life, Kay found joy in various hobbies and interests. She loved spending time playing bingo, exploring auctions, indulging in home shopping adventures, and taking the time to primp and look her best. These activities brought her immense happiness and allowed her to connect with others who shared similar passions.

Kay leaves behind a legacy of love and fond memories. She is survived by her life partner, Danny Lamb. The two fell in love and worked and lived side by side for over 40 years. Danny stood alongside her in thick and thin and their bond was one filled with deep affection and unwavering support.

Kay was mother to Wendy Porembski and Dallas Haselhorst. She spoke of her children often and was proud of their successes. She loved them endlessly and treasured every moment spent with them. She leaves this world knowing that her love was special and that she deserved to be cherished.

She leaves behind six granddaughters: Lauren Benjamin, Carly Benjamin, Gianna Haselhorst, Aria Haselhorst, Ellia Haselhorst, and Ayla Haselhorst. She would have loved more time with them all. In her final months, she would constantly ask to look at pictures of them and want to talk for hours about the details of their lives and what they enjoyed doing.

She described her trips to radiation with Lauren as the thing that made her happiest. Kay was the youngest of eight children raised on the family farm. Her siblings: Albert Jr. Hamel and his wife Rosie who are both deceased, Betty McNabb who is deceased, Gene Hamel who died just a year ago and his wife Avis, Tina Bobek and her husband Bill who is deceased, Alvin Hamel, Ron Hamel and his wife Mary Lou who is deceased, and Dorothy Staab and her husband Bob. All her siblings were very important to her. Through good times and bad, they remained a loving family, offering unwavering support and strength to one another.&nbsp; They were her rock and foundation in the last few years as both her and Danny's health declined.

Almost as much as her family, Kay adored her fur babies: Keyma, Cookie, and Kitty; who all preceded her in death. They brought so much joy and love into her life that she called out for them during her final days. &nbsp;

The memory of Kayleen Haselhorst will forever remain in the hearts of all those who were fortunate enough to know her. Her warm smile, kind-hearted nature, and soft heart touched the lives of many. Although she is no longer with us, her legacy will continue to shine brightly through the memories we hold dear.

A Mass celebrating Kay's life will be on Dec. 9 at St Joseph Catholic Church in Damar. The service will begin at 10 a.m. to honor her memory. The church is at 107 Oak St., Damar, KS 67632. In these difficult times, let us honor the memory of Kayleen Haselhorst with peace and respect. May her memory serve as a source of comfort and inspiration and may her soul rest in eternal peace.

Wilma A. (Munch) Wasinger-Drake, 93, died on Nov. 25, 2023, at Cedar Village, Ness City. She was born on the family farm Aug. 24, 1930, in the Nonchalanta Territory in Southwest Ness County. The daughter of Jacob and Lucy (Schoendaller) Munch, she was one of 13 children. Growing up on a farm, her job was milking the cows.

Wilma attended grade school at the Nonchalanta country school, and high school in Dighton, where she lived with her sister. She was on the basketball team, and this is where she met and later married her husband, Nick Wasinger, who was a referee at some games.

Faith was most important to her. She was a devout member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Ness City and a member of the Altar Society where she served on many committees and cooked for many funeral dinners as well as helped with the Fall Festival for many years.

Family played an important role in her life. She was mother and grandmother to eight children, 16 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren, and five great-great-grandchildren. They were her pride and joy and she looked forward to their visits so she could play cards, dice, or board games with them. She instilled her love of baking and cooking in her children and grandchildren by teaching them all her little secret tricks.

The community was also an important part of Wilma’s life. &nbsp;She was a member of the American Legion Auxiliary. She cooked and served, free of charge, many benefit dinners for the improvement and upkeep of the American Legion building. Wilma worked at the local café as a cook and later catered many, many weddings, reunions, anniversary parties and Co-op dinners. &nbsp;Everyone loved her fried chicken and roast beef.

Her hobbies included sewing, playing bingo, going to the casino, cards and dancing. She played the piano and played with a local band, Munsch and Rohr of Ness City. &nbsp;After Nick passed away, she later married Earl Drake.

She is survived by her children, Linda Denning (Bob), Hays, Lavonne Coker (Tom), Hays, Luciann Ogden (Johnny), Canon City, Colo., Layne and Alan Wasinger, Ness City.

She was preceded in death by her husbands, Nick Wasinger and Earl Drake, sons, Kenneth, James, and Verlyn Wasinger, grandsons, Justin Cox and Tanner Mishler, and granddaughter Courie Cox.

Parish Vigil will be at&nbsp; 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 28 at Fitzgerald Funeral Home, Ness City. Funeral Mass will be at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 29 at Sacred Heart Church, Ness City followed by burial in the Sacred Heart Cemetery.
