Mary Ann (Herber) Steinle passed away peacefully on January 19, 
2023.   She was born on June 23, 1942, to Lester and Sara Mae (Washburn)
 Herber in Hays, KS.   She married Richard Steinle on February 2, 1963. 
 They were blessed with two children: Brent and Tonya.

Mary
 Ann graduated from Dorrance High School and went on to study at Fort 
Hays University.  She was a little bit farmer, a little bit rancher, and
 a little bit oilman.  She had a large heart full of love for her family
 and her pets.  She loved the peaceful life on the farm. However, she 
also possessed a great adventurous spirit and had done solo trips to 
perform volunteer service at an orphanage and to hike the Inca Trail in 
Peru, to visit the jungles of Costa Rica, to perform volunteer work at 
elephant sanctuaries in Asia, as well as to sightsee various European 
countries.

Mary Ann possessed a wondrous singing voice 
that elevated spirits at many church and memorial services. However, 
while performing chores on her farm, she would almost always have good 
old blues blasting from her phone speaker.

Mary Ann is 
survived by her husband Richard of Dorrance/Russell; her children, Brent
 Steinle (Tiffany) of Ankeny, IA and Tonya Buehler (Ken) of Dorrance; 
and four grandchildren, Kari Eidenmueller (Andy), Adam Buehler, Sydney 
Steinle, and Austin Steinle.

She is preceded in death 
by her parents, Lester and Sara Mae Herber; her brother, Richard Herber;
 and beloved nephew Rick Herber.

Per her specific 
wishes, there will be no memorial service at this time.  The family will
 be holding a celebration of her life at a later date.

Memorials can be given in Mary Ann's name to First Lutheran Church Air Conditioning Fund, Box 24, Dorrance, Kansas 67634.

learned during his career in the Air Force helped him restore many boats
 and cars for friends. Kenny studied Moral Psychology and Fire Science, 
earning a degree from Hutchinson Community College in Criminal Justice 
and later became a firearms instructor that believed every child should 
learn gun respect and safety. Ken loved his job as the State of Kansas

spending time with his family. Kenny was known for his “truckers 
gardens” and Master Gardening skills he learned as a small child helping

Morris Clayton Talbert

Edna Fern Louder was born near Barnard, Kansas, in 1936 to Glen and 
Velma (Wright) Louder. At age 5, her family would buy a farm near&nbsp;Burr 
Oak, Ks where she loved spending time outside on the farm with&nbsp;her dad. 
 Edna had a younger brother that died as a toddler due to complications 
of mumps. She attended school in Burr Oak where she became an avid 
speller.  Spelling was always her favorite subject. 

Not&nbsp;all subjects 
were favored by Edna, and she would opt to quit school at age 16.  Soon 
she set out on an adventure, taking the bus from Kansas to&nbsp;Denver, CO to
 be closer to extended family.  There she would live with cousins and 
Aunts and Uncles.  While in Denver, Edna became a nanny for a few years 
watching 3 children.  She always had a huge soft spot in her heart for 
children.  She spent a time working in a Denver hospital and then lived 
in Colorado Springs, CO.  Edna would learn that life in the city was 
nothing like life on the farm.&nbsp;&nbsp;

In 1961, Kenneth McCorkle would ask Edna
 to marry him. She would follow him during his enlistment in the Army. 
Giving birth to their first child, Gary in 1962.  Nothing breaks the 
heart of a parent like losing a child, which is what happened when Gary 
took his own life in 1980.  Following Ken’s discharge from the military,
 Edna and Ken would settle near their families in Kansas. The family 
bought a home in Mankato in 1968. A daughter, Susan Kay, was born in 
March of 1969.&nbsp;&nbsp;For a few years, Edna worked as a waitress in Mankato.  
After a time she decided to follow her desire to be home and have a 
licensed&nbsp;In-home daycare.  The house was filled with children every day.
  Edna spent her time cooking, cleaning, and figuring out how to stop 
Susan from cutting the other children’s hair.  Many of those children 
and their families would stay in touch for years to come.&nbsp;&nbsp;Because of 
the size and location of Edna &amp; Ken’s home, many holidays were 
hosted there for the family.  These holidays included parents, 
grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.

Edna
 always took pride in having a clean home for all to visit.   Edna never
 did have a drivers license.  She had the ability to drive, but was 
never secure enough to apply for a license.  In later years her vision 
would make that impossible. She always had plenty to keep her 
busy&nbsp;reading mystery novels, filling her passion for word search books 
and spending many hours doing embroidery work.

In 1978,
 the family moved to Alton. Edna again did in home daycare, as well as 
gardening. Because Ken was busy at work, Edna did most of the yard 
work, including trimming the hedge along the yard. This task would 
require a new electric trimmer each year, as she usually cut through the
 cord at least once a year. Maybe it was planned, maybe not. While in 
Alton, Edna went to work as a cook at the Alton-Osborne Jr. High school 
for a time. After Susan graduated from High School, Ken and Edna moved 
to Osborne. Edna filled her days with keeping up their home, lawn and 
packing to go camping on the weekends. All this time Edna made sure to 
set aside time to write letters to her family and lifelong friends, some
 of which were acquired during Ken’s time in the Army. She always kept 
in touch with those important to her throughout the years and always 
sent Christmas cards to all each year.

Time 
certainly was more available and life less stressful when Ken &amp; Edna
 decided to move back to Alton, to Progressive Care.  Here she could 
relax and let someone else do the housekeeping and cooking.  That 
allowed more time for listening to baseball on TV, a passion she got 
from her Dad.  After Ken’s death in 2019, Edna moved to the Downs Care 
&amp; Rehab. to be closer to the grandkids.  She enjoyed those who cared
 for her there and was always trying to get a hug or give a peck on the 
cheek to staff members.

Edna leaves to celebrate her 
life: lifelong friends:  Charlotte Pletcher and Brenda Stahn.      
Daughter, Susan (Todd) Ingebretson, Carrington, ND  Grandchildren:  
Devin (Jess) Renken, Downs, Ks.  Vanessa McLaughlin (James McLaurin)  
Devils Lake, ND  and Leah Bortz (Matt Larsen) Carrington, ND  And 
great-granchildren  Bentley and Charlie Renken, Brynn McLaughlin, 
Brielle McLaurin and Wesley Larsen  and she was excited to know there 
will be another Renken boy this coming May.

Eldon D. Gager

Robert Henry Helfrich, 73, passed away at his home January 19, 2023, 
surrounded by his wife and children, after suffering complications 
during his treatment for Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

Robert was born November 1, 1949, to Henry and Philomene (Bogner) 
Helfrich, in Spearville, Kansas. Robert graduated from Spearville High 
School in 1967. He was the quarterback of the football team, center on 
the basketball team, and pitcher for the baseball team.

He graduated from Fort Hays State University, earning degrees in 
Physics and Mathematics. He then went on to Kansas State University and 
graduated with a degree in Computer Science. Robert moved to Hutchinson 
and spent nearly 30 years with Superior Boilerworks, working his way up 
from computer programmer to General manager. After it sold, he spent 
time at Chaparrall Industries, Shield Industries, and AIRGAS. Upon his 
retirement, he was able to freely enjoy his true passion: cycling. Aside
 from riding, he became a USA Cycling Official as well as a race 
promoter.

Later he got the long distance cycling bug. He rode thousands of 
miles a year, which garnered him the nickname "Bad Bobby". He often rode
 his bicycle to KSU football games in Manhattan. One of his most 
exciting trips was when he rode solo to his sister's home near 
Washington, D.C.

After a cycling career that began in the mid 80's, consisting of 
racing, promoting, and officiating, he was inducted into the Kansas 
Cycling Association Hall Of Fame in 2022. He was active in his community
 as well. He served on the Reno County Vitality Team, working hard to 
make Hutchinson a safer and more enjoyable place for walking, running 
and cycling. He volunteered consistently whenever an event was being 
held.
