Marthe Therese' Shafer, 87, Salina, passed on to her heavenly home on Tuesday October 11, 2022, surrounded by her family.

Marthe was born on May 2, 1935, in La Rochelle, France to Gottlieb 
and Agnes Misch. At the age of three, World War II swept across Europe, 
and shortly after the path of Marthe’s life would be forever changed. 
Marthe’s parents had immigrated to France from Poland in the 1920’s. Her
 father was unfortunately a victim of the Nazi invasion into France and 
presumed deported to most likely the Dachau concentration camp, never to
 be heard from again.&nbsp; After her father was deported, Marthe’s mother 
suffered an unknown illness causing her to be bed ridden, and she lived 
out the remainder of her short life in a nursing home. Marthe and her 
two older sisters were taken in by a local orphanage, ran by the Sisters
 of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul.

Marthe loved to talk about her life in France. As her short-term 
memory faded in the last few years, her memories of her childhood and 
France were more vivid than ever. In 1940, the Germans invaded her 
small, picturesque port town of La Rochelle, which was also the very 
last town liberated in France at the end of the war in 1945. She would 
recount the memory of hearing the Nazi soldiers marching and the sound 
their boots made hitting the ground. They had little food as the German 
army took every bit of sustenance they could, leaving the residents to 
starve. She was most afraid of the dark and being left alone. She 
recalled being terrified as a small child when the sirens would blare 
with incoming air raids. The orphans were taken to shelter in the 
darkness of the cellar until the sirens would subside. When the fighting
 became too severe to remain there, the orphanage was moved about 60 
miles into France, which she recalled as being a welcome change. There 
she discovered her love for nature and having fresh fruit and vegetables
 from the garden they grew. Within a week of leaving La Rochelle, the 
orphanage she was living in was bombed, and when they returned at the 
end of the war, it was a pile of rubble. She also recounted narrowly 
escaping certain death when the Nazi’s came to her orphanage to take 
away all the children of Polish and Jewish heritage. The nuns changed 
her paperwork disguising her name, and she hid in the cellar with her 
two sisters until they left.

At the age of 16, she graduated from the orphanage with the clothes 
on her back, and a small amount of money in her hand. She spent many of 
those first nights scared and alone, sleeping on benches at the park or 
local train station. She eventually found her first job as a live-in 
nanny and housekeeper, giving her a roof over her head, a warm bed, and 
plenty of food.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Marthe met and went on to marry her first husband, James, an American
 soldier stationed in her town, and together they had nine children. At 
the age of 22, she set out on her first big adventure to travel across 
the ocean aboard the Queen Mary, to start a new life in America. Her 
name can be found among the tens of millions of immigrants at Ellis 
Island today.

She knew little English as she settled into her new home, and she 
loved to tell everyone that she learned to speak English from watching 
“I Love Lucy” on television. She lived on numerous military bases around
 the world, including Germany, France, Alabama, Virginia, Maryland, 
Hawaii, Washington, North Carolina, Ft. Riley, and finally Schilling Air
 Force Base in Salina, KS.

Her husband James, passed away after serving two tours in Vietnam, 
and suffering from Agent Orange complications.&nbsp; She met her second 
husband Dale, while working as a housekeeper at the Howard Johnson 
Motel, and together they had two daughters.

Marthe would say the biggest accomplishments in her life were being 
able to travel and see the world and becoming a mother to eleven 
children whom she loved with her whole heart. She lived a simple life, 
never having wealth, but giving generously to anyone in need including 
strangers, and thanking God for being by her side every moment of her 
life. She leaves behind a beautiful legacy of 80 descendants at this 
time, and she will be remembered dearly by those of us who knew and 
loved her.

Marthe was preceded in death by her parents, her sisters Agnes and 
Alfreda, her husband James Shafer, and her eldest son Dr. James Shafer.

She is survived by her husband, Dale Barras, and her children;&nbsp; 
Beatriz “Betty” Cory (Roger) Corpus Christi, Texas; Steve Shafer, Texas;
 Anthony “Tony” Shafer, Salina; Sylvia Senecal, Salina; Phillip Shafer, 
Kansas City; Francine Climer, Salina; Michael Shafer (Aimee), 
Minneapolis, KS; Robert Shafer, Missouri; Monique Herbel (Kurt), Salina;
 and Claudale Arterburn (Brian), Wichita.&nbsp; Marthe is also survived by 29
 grandchildren and 40 great grandchildren.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, October 15th, 2022, 
at 11:00 a.m. at Ryan Mortuary. The service will also be streamed on 
Facebook Live. Burial will follow at Gypsum Hill Cemetery.

Visitation will be Friday, October 14th, 2022, from 4 to 7 p.m. with family present from 5 to 7 p.m.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;

Memorial donations can be made to Interim Hospice of Salina in her honor.

Augustine 'Francis' VonFeldt

Troy Harrison&nbsp;Dechant&nbsp;died October 9 at his home in Shawnee, Kansas. Troy, 53, was born in Hays and was the ninth of 10 children of Harry and Berniece (Munsch)&nbsp;Dechant, who preceded him in death. He graduated from Hays High School in 1988. He remained in Hays before moving to Cleveland, Ohio, then Shawnee, where he lived for many years.

Troy had careers in landscape management, car wash operations and union pipefitting, all of which depended on his well-honed mechanical aptitude. He completed with honors the intensive educational program required in union pipefitting and was particularly proud to have earned the top award in a rigorous Dale Carnegie Training course in which he was no doubt the least conventional student. He also started his own business, a deli in Kansas City, in which he put to use the cooking and kitchen management skills acquired as a teenager at the hip of his mother and aunt at the former Hays institution Coachman’s Inn.

In high school and beyond, Troy was the drummer in the local band Broken Promises, which got back together by popular demand to provide the music at several class reunions. His participation in the band began a lifelong love for the art of drumming which he continued until his death. He loved the Kansas Jayhawks, the Kansas City Chiefs, NASCAR, reality adventure TV shows, Volga German food and Harley motorcycles. He had a keen eye for art, often frequenting Kansas City-area shows that supported local artists. He was a spiritual man who strived continuously to maintain favor with the Lord.

He was adored as the “cool uncle” by his 16 nephews and nieces and had a broad circle of lifetime friends whom he held close from childhood onward.

Perhaps the defining moment in Troy’s life was a severe electric shock he suffered at age 21 trying to protect property from a wayward backhoe that had hit an unmarked line. As predicted by medical experts at the time, he suffered ever-intensifying chronic pain the past two decades, which he confronted with his characteristic tenaciousness.

Troy is survived by two brothers: Ron (Roxie)&nbsp;Dechant, Dodge City and Kerry (Karen)&nbsp;Dechant, Aurora, Ohio; and six sisters: Geri Hamilton, El Dorado; Sandy (Dane) Pennington, Superior, Colorado; Michelle (Gary)&nbsp;Pinkall, Great Bend; Brenda&nbsp;Dechant&nbsp;(Becky Benoit), Phoenix; Carla&nbsp;Dechant&nbsp;(Juan Carlos Tobar), Spain; and Kristal&nbsp;Dechant, Victoria. He was preceded in death by his parents; an infant brother, Cornelius; a nephew Dustin Karst; and a number of close friends.

The visitation will be at Hays Memorial Chapel Funeral Home from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday, and from 9 a m. to 9:45 on Monday. &nbsp;Eulogies and personal remembrances will begin at 6:15 p.m., followed by a rosary at 7:15 p.m. and a vigil service at 7:30 p.m., all at the funeral home on Sunday. &nbsp;A Mass of Christian Burial will be at 10 a.m. Monday at Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church, with burial in St. Joseph Cemetery to follow.

Memorials are suggested and payable to the Troy H.&nbsp;Dechant&nbsp;Drumming Excellence Memorial Fund. &nbsp;Condolences and memories of Troy may be shared with the family at www.haysmemorial.com

Zelda Mae Marie Darnell, 89, dedicated mother and wife, passed away 
October 10, 2022, at her home in Damar, Kansas. She was born to William 
“Bill” And Emma (Benoit) Darnell in Rural Damar. After Emma’s death, 
Bill married Alma Desbien. Together they had three sons: Bill, Jr., 
Gerald, and Harlan.

Zelda attended the Damar schools. 
When she was seventeen, she met Ernest “Ernie” Darnell at a barn dance 
in 1950. They fell in love and were married December 29, 1950 in the 
family home. To this union six children were born:  Marilyn, Carolyn, 
Larry, Jerry, Shannon, and Shane. Zelda was very proud of her family and
 tended to spoil each and every one of them. She was a master in the 
kitchen from her meals to her treats. All were homemade and created with
 love. Through the years Zelda and Ernie were blessed with 19 
grandchildren and 27 great grandchildren, who they loved and enjoyed 
immensely.

Reading and listening to Elvis were two of 
her favorite activities. She also was a huge Kansas University 
basketball fan and an avid card player. Pitch, pinochle, rummy, and the 
occasional chicken scratch game were frequent pastimes in the Darnell 
household. While the card games were extremely “competitive” between 
Zelda and Ernie, when KU played, they were able to come together for 
their common goals of hating the refs and the opponents, especially 
Duke.

Zelda is preceded in death by her parents; her 
husband Ernie; three sons: Larry, Jerry, and Shane; two granddaughters 
Jolana and Kaitlyn; and her brother Bill. Survivors left to honor and 
cherish her memory are her three daughters:  Marilyn Darnell of Damar, 
Carolyn Terry and husband Tony of Plainville, and Shannon Kibel of 
Bogue; two brothers Gerald Thyfault and wife Cynthia of Hays and Harlan 
Thyfault and wife Jeanie of North Carolina; daughter-in-law Patty 
Darnell of Downs; 17 grandchildren and 27 great grandchildren.

For
 the past 10 years, Zelda and her family were blessed with wonderful and
 loving caregivers. Thank you, Barb and Lori Hamel, Pam Hollern and her 
many great neighbors.

Larry, Jerry, Shannon, and Shane. Zelda was very proud of her family and
 tended to spoil each and every one of them. She was a master in the 
kitchen from her meals to her treats. All were homemade and created with
 love. Through the years Zelda and Ernie were blessed with 19 
grandchildren and 27 great grandchildren, who they loved and enjoyed 
immensely.Reading and listening to Elvis were two of 
her favorite activities. She also was a huge Kansas University 
basketball fan and an avid card player. Pitch, pinochle, rummy, and the 
occasional chicken scratch game were frequent pastimes in the Darnell 
household. While the card games were extremely “competitive” between 
Zelda and Ernie, when KU played, they were able to come together for 
their common goals of hating the refs and the opponents, especially 
Duke.Zelda is preceded in death by her parents; her 
husband Ernie; three sons: Larry, Jerry, and Shane; two granddaughters 
Jolana and Kaitlyn; and her brother Bill. Survivors left to honor and 
cherish her memory are her three daughters: Marilyn Darnell of Damar, 
Carolyn Terry and husband Tony of Plainville, and Shannon Kibel of 
Bogue; two brothers Gerald Thyfault and wife Cynthia of Hays and Harlan 
Thyfault and wife Jeanie of North Carolina; daughter-in-law Patty 
Darnell of Downs; 17 grandchildren and 27 great grandchildren.For
 the past 10 years, Zelda and her family were blessed with wonderful and
 loving caregivers. Thank you, Barb and Lori Hamel, Pam Hollern and her 
many great neighbors.Click <a href="https://www.stinemetzfh.com/obituaries/Zelda-Mae-Marie-Darnell?obId=26103935#/obituaryInfo">HERE</a> for service details.

Florence Belle Antholz passed away at the Good Samaritan Society, in 
Atwood, KS, on October 9, 2022, at the age of 89. She was born December 
28, 1932, in Rapid City, SD, to Harold &amp; Elizabeth Haas. 
Florence grew up in a Christian home. The Haas family loved and 
appreciated music. Favorite times were getting around the piano and 
singing with her family, many adventures in the Black Hills with her 
five siblings, helping her father in the Haas Repair Shop and going to 
church. 
When she was ten years old, Florence accepted Jesus as her Lord and 
Savior and always had a deep faith and love for God and His word. 
Florence graduated from Rapid City High School in 1950. After High 
School, she worked and attended North Central Bible College in 
Minneapolis, MN. 
In 1955, Florence moved to Denver to work. There she met Don Antholz. 
They were united in marriage on October 5, 1956, and moved to the family
 farm north of McDonald, KS. Three children were born to this union,

wife, mother, and friend. She enjoyed being a wife, raising her 
children, playing piano, singing, decorating, teaching and attending 
church. Florence taught piano lessons for several years, taught Sunday 
School and helped serve in several other areas at Church. 
After retiring from farming, Florence and Don moved to Atwood, in 2001. 
They were very fortunate to travel together to see much of the United 
States and a few other countries. The trips she most fondly remembered 
were Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea. 
Other activities she enjoyed were singing and performing with the 
Prairie Rose Harmony, serving with the Gideons Auxiliary and attending 
Red Hats. Florence is remembered for her flair with fashion, décor and 
was always quick to pray for others. She will be greatly missed by her 
family and friends.

 was her mothers world. Life for her family and friends will never be 
the same because she was someone who was always there for them and

Amos J. Bozarth Jr. was born April 13, 1943 on a farm near Laverne, 
Oklahoma, to Amos J Bozarth Sr. and Phyllis Jean (Cole) Bozarth. He 
departed this life October 9, 2022, at Wichita, KS at the age of 79 
years, 5 months and 26 days.

For those who would like to join in the celebration of A.J.’s life, 
the funeral services will be at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day
 Saints, 7834 West 29th St. N. Wichita, 67205 on Monday, October 17th 
with the viewing from 10:00-10:45am and funeral service at 11:00am. 
Graveside service will follow at 3:00 p.m. Conway Springs Cemetery, 
Conway Springs, Kansas. (2nd Addition).

A.J. spent his early childhood in Wichita and attended South 
Riverside Elementary. He moved with his family to Derby and graduated 
from Derby Senior High School in 1961. At the age of 16, he started his 
printing career as an apprentice printer at the Derby News. During his remaining high school years A.J. worked after school for The Mulvane News.

A.J. met his wife, Karen Jean Barton on a blind date and they were 
married two years later on April 11, 1965 at the Conway Springs Church 
of the Brethren. They made their home in Conway Springs where they 
raised their family of five children.

At the age of 19, A.J. was employed as a Linotype operator and printer by R.H. Cline of the Conway Springs Star and The Argonia Argosy.
 After R.H. retired from the Star, he continued his employment with the 
Star for a total of 10 years. At the age of 23 he purchased The South Haven New Era newspaper during his continued employment at the Star. A.J. worked in the evenings to publish the South Haven New Era. He continued to publish it for over 50 years. In 1987, he established The Norwich News which he published for over 30 years.

In 1973, A.J. went into business for himself as A.J.’s Printing and 
purchased Dr. Eugene McCormick’s office building on Spring Avenue. In 
August 2002 he moved his printing shop to a new building at 215 S. 
Eighth in Conway Springs.

A.J. was a member of Conway Springs Chamber of Commerce and served on
 the Conway Springs Fire Dept. He served 16 years on the Conway Springs 
City Council. During his tenure, he served two years as President of the 
Council and 12 years as Mayor. As Mayor, A.J. focused on city 
improvements and infrastructure. &nbsp;

The City of Conway Springs honored and recognized A.J.’s service to 
the community by having him serve as the Fall Festival Parade Marshall 
in 2016.

A.J. was an active member in his church. He served as Cubmaster and 
Scoutmaster for 12 years. As Scoutmaster, he had five Eagle Scouts in 
his troop. These five young men also later served two-year church 
missions.

He has served nine years in the Wichita Kansas Stake Presidency and 
14 years as Branch President and Bishop of the Wellington Ward of The 
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. For the past 15 years, A.J.
 has served as the patriarch for the Wichita Kansas Stake, ministering 
over 400 patriarchal blessings. The example he set for his family has 
generated 14 full-time missionaries, with many more to come. His son 
Greg served 2 years in Tacoma, Washington. Thirteen grandchildren have 
served or are serving missions:

Served: Christopher McCurdy- Brazil Sao Paulo, Briana McCurdy Parker -
 New York New York City, Adam McCurdy- Hungary Budapest, Jordan Bozarth-
 Spain Barcelona, Jocelyn - Peru Lima, Jacquel Bozarth Reber Japan 
Sapporo, Alyssa Beehler - Chili Santiago North, Madelyn Beehler- 
California Redlands, Rachel Bull - called to Spain Madrid but due to 
COVID served in Idaho Pocatello, Ethan Conrady- Utah Logan

Currently serving: Cameron Bull- Philippines Laoag, Ellie Bull- Pennsylvania Philadelphia, Gage Conrady India Bengaluru.

A.J. was a talented artist. He created many paintings and drawings 
throughout his life. There have been many requests from family members 
for him to paint more. Just retire already and we will provide you with 
our requests. A.J. gifted a painting to each of his five children as 
wedding presents when they were married. He painted scenes from the 
community including the Spring House in Conway Springs, and a multitude 
of religious scenes, but his favorite were landscapes. I’m sure all of 
these pieces will create many spirited discussions in the near future as
 everyone tries to lay their claim to these precious memories.&nbsp;

A.J. and Karen loved to travel. They made countless trips to Utah for
 babies being born, priesthood ordinations, Eagle Scout ceremonies, 
mission farewells, holidays, and weddings. They were committed to being 
in their children’s, grandchildren’s, and great-grandchildren’s lives 
regardless of the distance between them. For their 50th wedding 
anniversary, Mom, Dad and their children and spouses went on an Alaskan 
cruise.

Later in life, A.J. and Karen returned to Eureka Springs, Arkansas 
where they had honeymooned. Ultimately, they purchased a timeshare on 
TableRock Lake in Branson, Missouri. They wanted to create even more 
memories with their family. For the past 17 years, family has gathered 
at Big Cedar to go boating, fishing, swimming, miniature golfing, drink 
lots of hot chocolate, watch fireworks, tours of the fish hatchery, see a
 variety of shows in Branson, ride go-karts, and endless trips to Silver
 Dollar City. It also included lots of naps, but most of those were 
taken by Mom and Dad. For the past 12 years, Mom organized a family 
reunion every two years in Granby, Colorado. In the mountains, the 
family did lots of hiking, did water sports, rode ATVs on the mountain 
trails and always got ice cream in Grand Lake. Dad never missed a chance
 to eat ice cream. He would frequently tell the story of his first ice 
cream cone as a kid. He picked up glass bottles to recycle and get money
 to buy his first ice cream cone. It was so delicious, as soon as he 
finished eating it, he immediately returned to hunting for more bottles 
and bought a second ice cream cone later that day.

He was preceded in death by his parents; one brother John Bozarth and two sisters: Alta Bowman and Christine Ryno.

A.J. is survived by his wife Karen; his children: Deborah (John) 
McCurdy of Lindon, Utah; Gregory (Carmel) Bozarth of Ivins, Utah; Teresa
 (Phillip) Beehler of Spanish Fork, Utah; Lora (Michael) Bull of 
Monument, Colorado; Mechelle (Jason) Conrady of Wichita, Kansas; one

at Big Cedar to go boating, fishing, swimming, miniature golfing, drink 
lots of hot chocolate, watch fireworks, tours of the fish hatchery, see a

Rita Mae Buehne, 101, passed away on October 6, 2022. She was born on April 12, 1921, in Schoenchen, Kansas, to Charles and Mary (Basgall) Bieker.

She blessed this world for 101 years with a servant's heart and helping hands. Raised on a farm in Schoenchen, she knew hardship and work as she would rise early to hand milk cows before school. She battled the dust bowl with her family and her stories were heart wrenching.

After leaving the farm she settled in Wichita and chose the nursing profession as her gift to the world. 40 years at St. Francis Hospital with most in the OR, she touched many hearts of patients, physicians, residents, as well as her fellow colleagues.

She met Vincent and had 3 children whom she loved but it was the 11 grandchildren who lit her soul with fire and laughter. Her giving nature did not end with retirement as she faithfully volunteered at the VA becoming famous as "The Donut Lady" as she always brought donuts to the Vets when she worked. Even as the years took a toll on her frail body and she had to reluctantly give up her house that she and Vincent had built, she quickly stole the hearts of the Derby Assisted Living staff, which she shared the final few years with.

Her light was extinguished last Thursday as the Good Lord called her home to Vincent and her family and friends. We will all miss her but we are all better people because of her! Give your folks a special hug today!

She is preceded in death by her parents; and loving husband, Vincent Buehne.

She is survived by her children, Marcie (Larry) Pray, Janice (Mike) Pray, and Steve (Alicia) Buehne; grandchildren, Sam (Zanae) Pray, Mary (Clayton) Berta, Luke Pray, Adam (Megan) Pray, Mathew Pray, Rebecca Pray, Stephanie Pray, Jennifer (Jordan) Serreyn, Jimmie Pray, Brandon (Cerina) Buehne, and Vanessa Buehne; and great-grandchildren, Rowan Buehne, Waylon Pray, Hudson Pray, and Reese Pray.

Visitation will be held from 5-7 p.m. on Thursday, October 13, 2022, at St. Mary's Catholic Church, Derby. A rosary will be held beginning at 7 p.m. at the same location. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held Friday, October 14, 2022, at 10 a.m. also at St. Mary's Catholic Church, 2300 E. Meadowlark Rd., Derby, KS. Committal will follow after fellowship at Resurrection Cemetery, 1640 N. Maize Rd., Wichita.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you donate to The Lords Diner, or Robert J. Dole Veteran's Hospital.
