Carol Kay Whisman of Palco, KS, passed away on December 31, 
2022, at the Rooks County Health Center in Plainville, KS, surrounded by
 family after a long battle with cancer, at the age of 70. She was born 
on September 2, 1952, in Hays, KS, to George and Berdena (Veatch) 
Whisman. She was united in marriage to Jack Dean in Mankato, KS in 1986.
 They later divorced.

Carol was raised on a farm in the
 Palco area. She loved this life with cattle, field work, rural living, 
and the outdoors. In 1970 she graduated from Palco High School and went 
on to earn a bachelor’s degree in music from Fort Hays University and 
Kansas State University. She received her MBA in finance from the 
University of Kansas and her Principal License from Fort Hays 
University. She taught music and band in several Kansas towns. While 
teaching in Belleville, she took the band to the Cherry Blossum Festival
 in Washington DC, and a year later they marched in the Fiesta Bowl in 
Phoenix, AZ.

While at Kansas State University, she 
became a 4-H International Foreign Exchange Student in Europe. She chose
 to visit families in Germany which became a life-long exchange. She 
made several trips to visit these friends and they made several to 
Kansas.

In retirement, she became the choir director at
 St. John’s Lutheran Church of Ellis. She loved the music, the choir, 
and the people of the church. What a happy experience.

Carol
 is survived by her mother, Berdena Whisman of Palco; sister, Nancy 
Beyea of Palco; sister-in-law, Leola Whisman; nephews, Greggory Whisman,
 Geoffrey (Cammie) Whisman and family, Galen Whisman and Blake Beyea; 
niece, Nadia Beyea and family; friend, Mark Keller; many cousins; and a 
host of friends.

She is preceded in death by her father, George Whisman and her brother Daren Whisman.

For
 Carol, life was an adventure of music, traveling and family. Her 
encouragement and love of music gave us faith to sing and dance, peace 
to our lives, and to encourage generations to continue.

A
 funeral service will be held on Thursday, January 5, 2023, at 10:30 AM,
 at the United Methodist Church in Palco. There will be no public 
visitation.

Memorials are suggested to Palco USD 269 
(for the music programs) and may be sent to Plumer-Overlease Funeral 
Home, 320 SW 2nd, Plainville, KS 67663.

Judy Lee (Cornett) Schmidt, 69, passed away on January 1, 2023, at Hays 
Medical Center. Judy was born on April 24, 1953, to Lloyd and Ada 
(Elshire) Cornett in Colby, KS. She graduated from Colby High School in 
1971. Judy attended Kansas State University and graduated with a degree 
in Home Economics. She taught for a year before moving to Chicago, 
Illinois to be a dietary aid in a hospital. In 1984 she welcomed the 
birth of her son AJ Cornett. She gave birth to her middle son John 
Schmidt in 1989 and also graduated with her Master’s in social work from
 Kansas State University. In 1990, her youngest son Steven Cornett was

Judy spent over 29 years working for DCF in Colby, KS. She spent her

people in other states on a regular basis.
