Elmer Reno Purvis, age 83, lifelong resident of Sherman County, passed away Thursday, June 9, 2022, at Topside Manor.&nbsp;

Elmer was born to Ralph and Murel (Moore) Purvis on the family farm 
in Sherman County. He attended Sandy Hill and Smokey Hill Country 
schools until the 8th grade. He completed diesel mechanics training and 
received a diploma from Interstate Training Service for Diesel and Heavy
 Equipment. On June 5, 1960, he married Joyce Tracey in Texhoma, 
Oklahoma.&nbsp; Elmer lived all his life in Sherman County, except for 4 
years while working for Chicago Rock Island and Pacific Railroad, he 
returned to the family farm in October 1961.&nbsp;

He was raised in a Christian home and fondly recalled his mom reading
 Bible stories and praying with him. He especially remembered the time 
when he was 4 years old, while riding on a trailer of wheat with his 8 
year old sister, JoAnn. His father was turning onto a cement slab to 
dump the wheat when Elmer decided to climb off over the side, slipped 
and slid under the trailer, the tires went over the pelvis area, 
breaking his hips and causing severe internal injuries.&nbsp; Doctors in 
Goodland didn’t expect him to live and was keeping him sedated, after 24
 hours they called in Dr. Renner who performed a life-saving surgery.&nbsp;

Elmer loved to farm and could hardly wait each spring to be out in 
the field.&nbsp; He put down an irrigation well in 1965, and irrigated by 
ditch-type for many years, laying out pipe, changing water morning and 
night and all that goes with it.&nbsp; Later he changed to using sprinkler 
systems. The kids said that dad decided to go to center pivots after 
there was no children to help move pipe and change water.&nbsp; He was 
blessed when Stan and Becky agreed to move back to Sherman County and 
help farm.&nbsp;

As the grandkids came along, he loved giving them tractor and combine
 rides. Elmer loved music, playing his steel guitar, and having someone 
playing piano or other instruments along with him.&nbsp; He sang with a men’s
 quartet at church. Elmer served on the board at Goodland Bible Church, 
the Goodland Christian School, and the McPherson Township Board.&nbsp;

He is preceded in death by his parents; 3 sisters, Minnie Brazda, Irene Jewel and Ruth Sears.&nbsp;

Elmer is survived by his wife, Joyce of Sherman County; children, 
Terri (Jerry) Spooner of Fort Morgan, CO, Tammy (Tim) Rensberger of 
Buchanan, MI, Stan (Becky) Purvis of Sherman County, Steve (Carrie)

Mary Anne Johnson

Oral surgeon, great outdoorsman, devoted father, loving husband, loyal friend, and all-around really nice guy, Dr. Paul Dean Wagner (Wags) died peacefully surrounded by his immediate family in Lawrence, Kansas, June 1, after a long and brave battle with Parkinson’s. He leaves behind an enormous legacy and wonderful memories of adventure, leadership, friendship, general orneriness, and undeniable service to those around him.  He carried a quiet, caring demeanor, a surprising sense of humor, and a strong, adventurous spirit.

Born Christmas Eve 1937 in Concordia, KS.  His parents, Oral and Mary, instilled a sense of honor, fairness, hard work, and devotion to his family at a young age. Early years included working on farms and at the family drugstores, school athletics, lifeguarding, and Boy Scouts of America, where he became an honored Eagle Scout. Here he developed an immense appreciation for the great outdoors, leadership, and physical fitness. He graduated in 1957 from Mankato High School. (KS)

Before graduating in 1961 from the University of Kansas School of Pharmacy, he played drums in the KU Bands and Orchestra, worked as a physiology lab assistant, and was a member of Alpha Nu Chapter, Beta Theta Pi.  He also met and married the love of his life, Sharon, who happened to live next door.

Paul worked at Family Drug in Lincoln, Nebraska, witnessing the birth of two beautiful daughters, Anne and Mary Beth, and decided he would rather write prescriptions instead of filling them.  So, he moved his young family to Memphis, where he was able to work his way through the University of Tennessee School of Dentistry in 3 years, completing 4 quarters a year. He continued with a medical internship at the University of Alabama, Birmingham, and residency at Hershey Medical Center and Harrisburg Hospital, finishing in 1972.  He soon became a diplomat of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.

While living and practicing Oral Surgery in Hershey, he introduced his growing family to running, canoeing, back-packing, and hiking in beautiful Pennsylvania and neighboring states!  He served on the boards of the Pennsylvania Sierra Club, and the Appalachian Trail Conference, leading a group who saved Stony Creek Valley, and helped maintain hiking trails.  He ran the Harrisburg Marathon, the first of many to come, including Boston, National Capital of Canada and NYC.

In 1975 Kansas friends and family recruited the Wagners to come home. And, the Wagner pre-teen daughters agreed to leave their beloved Hershey for Kansas – if they could ski in Colorado and get a cat!  That being achievable, Paul returned to Kansas with his family and began his own OMS practice in Hays.  Appropriately on Labor Day, Paul Jr. (PJ) was welcomed to complete their family!  Soon Paul organized the Hays Area Road Runners, (HARR! HARR!) and a fun-loving group of running addicts developed.  A bicycling group followed. Suddenly, marathon, triathlon, and distance bicycling competition and recreational trips were in order, and great friendships were born!  He served in professional capacities there as well:  Chief of Staff of Hays Medical Center, State President of KS Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Society, President of the energetic Western KS Dental Study Club.

Dr. Wagner and his family loved to back pack and canoe in the Minnesota and Canadian Boundary Waters, and the Colorado Mountains.  They were able to ski in Colorado, Ride the Rockies, Bike Across Kansas, Tour Wyoming, and compete in numerous races and events!  Laughing, joking, loving, challenging, developing great friendships, creating special memories, all part of his persona, continued in his retirement.

In 2005, Paul retired from his OMS practice, and moved with Sharon to Arrowhead Mountain in the Vail Valley.  Here, the beautiful mountains were in his backyard, skiing was available every day the lifts were open.  Terrific friendships were established with like minded residents who loved the clean air, beautiful mountains, and the active lifestyle.  These friends were a special mix of different cultures, from many parts of our country.  Yet, all were still contributing to our world, working for Habitat of Humanity, Mountain Rescue, and in many other volunteering capacities.

Paul was married to Sharon Mather on July 17,1960 in Stafford, Kansas. Sharon survives him and resides in Lawrence. Other survivors are his children:  Anne Wagner Dewitz, of Olathe, KS, Mary Beth (Gregg) Minion of Glenwood Springs, CO. and Paul Dean (Elizabeth Curry) Wagner, Jr. of West Hollywood, CA. and his grandchildren:  Kyle Dewitz of Nashville, TN, Alec (Tom Bethany) Hynes of New York, NY,  Casey Hynes-(Nathan) Seaford of Solvang, CA, and Elissa Dewitz of North Hollywood, CA. and his great granddaughter, Roo Elliot Seaford of Solvang, CA.

Paul was preceded in death by his parents Oral Harlan Wagner and Mary Amis Wagner of Mankato KS and his brother Sam Wagner of Smith Center, Kansas.

A member of the Unitarian Church of Memphis and Harrisburg, Paul lived a life honoring diversity, tolerance, and service to others. Because he requested cremation, a celebration of life event will take place in Lawrence in the fall of 2022.

Memorial Contributions may be made in Paul’s name to:  Friends of the Boundary Waters, (https://www.friends–bwca.org/donate/) The Parkinson’s Foundation, Sierra Club, or Habitat for Humanity, sent in care of Rumsey-Yost Funeral Home, P.O. Box 1260 Lawrence, Kansas 66044.

Dr. Paul Dean Wagner 

Grace Irene (Barnett) Jones, of Colby KS, was 86 when she passed away on
 Sunday, June 5th, 2022, at home in Colby. She was born November 6, 
1935, to Lester and Adele Barnett. She was the youngest of 9 children. 
Grace graduated from Colby High School in 1953. While attending Colby 
schools, she met Harold Jones. Grace married Harold on August 21,1955. 
She worked at Great Plains Electric up until 1961, when she got the call
 that her and Harold were able to adopt and pick up Donald. She quit her
 job that day and they drove to Wichita, KS to pick up their son. During
 that time Grace stayed home to care for him and they adopted their 
daughter Linda on December 14, 1963. 

Throughout her life, she was a 
devoted wife and mother. Grace has numerous roles. She was active in her
 church- First Baptist Church of Colby. She was a member of the American
 Baptist Women and devoted to her faith. Grace never missed an 
opportunity to support her children whether it be a school play where 
Donald thrived or a cheerleading event in which Linda was very 
competitive. On August 21, 1983, Grace had the pleasure of becoming a 
grandparent. This was a role that she fully embraced with her whole 
heart. 
 She dedicated countless hours of services to several organizations 
never missing the opportunity to lend a helping hand. Grace and Harold 
were not afraid to travel. They traveled to all fifty states and a 
numerous number of foreign countries. All with love in mind and the 
intention of creating memories that would last a lifetime and that shown
 to be true to the end. Grace was not afraid to tell you how she felt. 
She was not afraid to lead with a trump card in a family game of up and 
down, which if you know cards you know this didn't really scream "I'm 
playing for the team". And of course, the ornery smile that preceded was
 worth the damage. If she liked you, then she loved you and for those of
 us that were able to break through that hard shell know the value of 
Grace Jones. A beautiful, loving, caring woman that will be not only 
forever remembered but forever missed. 
She was preceded in death by her mother Adele; father Lester; brothers, 
Samuel, Lynn, Victor, Vernon, Wilbur, Morris and Bernard; her husband 
Harold; son Donald and grandson Kuper Jones. 
Grace is survived by her sister Helen Klein; daughter Linda Jones; many grandchildren, and great grandchildren. 
Grace will always be remembered as a loving daughter, sister, wife, 
mother, grandmother, great grandmother, friend and Christian who cared 
deeply for everyone in her life. She will be deeply missed. 
Visitation is 5-7:00 p.m. Friday, June 10, 2022, at Baalmann Mortuary, 
Colby. Funeral Service is 10:00 a.m. Saturday, June 11, 2022, at the

playing for the team". And of course, the ornery smile that preceded was
 worth the damage. If she liked you, then she loved you and for those of
 us that were able to break through that hard shell know the value of 
Grace Jones. A beautiful, loving, caring woman that will be not only 
forever remembered but forever missed. 
She was preceded in death by her mother Adele; father Lester; brothers, 
Samuel, Lynn, Victor, Vernon, Wilbur, Morris and Bernard; her husband 
Harold; son Donald and grandson Kuper Jones. 
Grace is survived by her sister Helen Klein; daughter Linda Jones; many grandchildren, and great grandchildren. 
Grace will always be remembered as a loving daughter, sister, wife, 
mother, grandmother, great grandmother, friend and Christian who cared 
deeply for everyone in her life. She will be deeply missed. 
Visitation is 5-7:00 p.m. Friday, June 10, 2022, at Baalmann Mortuary, 
Colby. Funeral Service is 10:00 a.m. Saturday, June 11, 2022, at the 
First Baptist Church, Colby, with burial in Beulah Cemetery, Colby. For

Scott A. Jordan, age 55, of Hays, Kansas died on Wednesday, May 25, 2022, at Hays Medical Center, Hays, Kansas. &nbsp;

He was born September 5, 1966, in Clearfield, Utah, to Randall Wayne and Sue Ellen (Clifton) Jordan Sr. &nbsp;He married Lynette Rumpel and they later divorced. &nbsp;His companion and fiancé is Becky Meserve.

Scott was the manager of the Pheasant Run Restaurant in Hays for the past number of years, and prior to this he was a service technician at Tri Central Office Supply in Hays for over 20 years.

He was a proud husband, father and grandfather.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife; his infant son, David Joseph Evans; his brother, Maro Evans; and his sister, Myra Rustad.&nbsp;

Funeral services will be at 10:00 A.M. Tuesday, June 14,&nbsp;2022, at Cline’s-Keithley Mortuary of Hays, 1919 East 22nd Street, Hays, Kansas 67601&nbsp;with Father Harvey Dinkel O.F.M.

Dorothy Nider was born on May 24th, 1926, to Claude Nider and Mathilde 
(Tillie) Wolters Nider in Fairbury, NE.&nbsp; She was the 4th of 8 children 
born to them.&nbsp; The Nider family moved south of Harbine, NE, in 1933 and 
then to Knowles, CA in 1945 for Claude’s health which was near his 
sister.

Dorothy would tell her children that times were tough growing up, but
 living on a farm they had fresh farm products such as milk, cream, 
butter, chickens, eggs, and pork. Summer time garden of carrots, beans, 
tomatoes and potatoes were canned and along with summer sausage were put
 in the cellar for the winter.

Dorothy’s parents moved to Burlington, CO during wheat harvest of 
1949, and she came to Burlington on her vacation that summer. It was on a
 Saturday night that Dorothy’s brother, Louis, took her to the Armory to
 meet the gang around town, where Gene Penny asked her to dance. Later, 
Gene asked her to go to the show. After going back to her work in 
California, Gene and Dorothy would write letters and talk on the phone. 
&nbsp;California and its warm climate pulled at her, also leaving sisters who
 were there, but she still decided to return to Burlington following her
 heart.

Mr. Reinecker, at the Bank of Burlington, hired Dorothy as a teller 
which she loved. She was thankful for the job so she could stay in 
Burlington.

Gene and Dorothy were married 6 mo. later on May 28, 1950. Five 
children were born to them; Norman, Gary, Gregory, Kevin and Julie. They
 were blessed with 14 grandchildren, which they loved dearly.

Gene and Dorothy had a wonderful life playing golf, dancing, 
painting, playing cards and spending time with family and friends.&nbsp; 
Their house was always active with the neighborhood clan as they had a 
trampoline and generally cookies (diet ones during wrestling season). 
Gene and Dorothy would take their children to worship at the Methodist 
Church which is located across the street from their house.&nbsp; Dorothy did
 the books for the church for many years. She also trained her 
daughters-in-laws to help with harvest meals.&nbsp; Dorothy was a dedicated 
member of PEO Chapter AX for 69 years.&nbsp;

Gene died after a severe heart attack on April 20, 1998, at 73 years 
old.&nbsp; She would also lose her oldest son, Norman, age 54, while on a 
bike ride with his brother, Gary.&nbsp; Dorothy was very energetic and in her
 later years, she loved to have her hair fixed Friday morning and then 
play bridge on Friday afternoon.&nbsp; She would let her children know that 
it was important to have good cards and a good partner.&nbsp; She continued 
doing morning yoga &amp; pilates until her last few months.&nbsp; Dorothy 
went to be with her Lord and Savior on Saturday June the 4th at the age 
of 96 with family by her side.

Dorothy is preceded in death by her parents Claude and Mathilde, 
sisters Lucille &amp; Betty, brother Louis, husband Gene and son 
Norman.&nbsp;

She is survived by sisters Arleen, Maxine &amp; Marilyn (Al), brother
 Dale, sons Gary (Lynette), Greg (Tara), Kevin (Jeana), daughter Julie 
(Dub) and a daughter-in-law Susanne, her grandchildren, 
great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews who loved her.

Lisa Marie VonFeldt passed away in her home on June 6, 2022, at the age 
of 58 after her four-year battle with cancer. She was born on January 9,
 1964, to Leo and Dorothy (Goetz) in Kanorado, Kansas.
 Lisa grew up in Rooks County where she attended Palco High School 
and graduated with the class of 1982. After high school, Lisa obtained a
 bachelor’s degree in Agra Business from Fort Hays State University and 
then entered the workforce in Hays, Kansas working for the Amphenol 
Adronics for 20 years working as a line leader, lab tech, and auditor. 
She finished out her working career at the Rooks County Health Center 
where she worked for almost 10 years when her health began to decline. 
Lisa enjoyed life and lived it to the fullest; she was happy, kind, and 
family-oriented. Her passion to spend time reading, crocheting, or 
finding a good place to eat could only be matched by her time spent with
 her nieces, nephews and great-nieces and nephews. Lisa was a member of 
the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Plainville and the St. Joseph 
Catholic Church in Hays as well as a member of the D of I.
 A hardworking woman of faith, hope, and love, Lisa showed us all by 
her life that the greatest of these is love. Although she will be 
greatly missed, she will live forever in the hearts of those who knew 
her best, for they were greatly loved.

 </figure>Lisa Marie VonFeldt passed away in her home on June 6, 2022, at the age 
of 58 after her four-year battle with cancer. She was born on January 9,
 1964, to Leo and Dorothy (Goetz) in Kanorado, Kansas.
 Lisa grew up in Rooks County where she attended Palco High School 
and graduated with the class of 1982. After high school, Lisa obtained a
 bachelor’s degree in Agra Business from Fort Hays State University and 
then entered the workforce in Hays, Kansas working for the Amphenol 
Adronics for 20 years working as a line leader, lab tech, and auditor. 
She finished out her working career at the Rooks County Health Center 
where she worked for almost 10 years when her health began to decline. 
Lisa enjoyed life and lived it to the fullest; she was happy, kind, and 
family-oriented. Her passion to spend time reading, crocheting, or 
finding a good place to eat could only be matched by her time spent with
 her nieces, nephews and great-nieces and nephews. Lisa was a member of 
the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Plainville and the St. Joseph 
Catholic Church in Hays as well as a member of the D of I.
 A hardworking woman of faith, hope, and love, Lisa showed us all by 
her life that the greatest of these is love. Although she will be 
greatly missed, she will live forever in the hearts of those who knew 
her best, for they were greatly loved.
 She is survived by her mother, Dorothy VonFeldt of Palco, KS;

With great sadness, we report the passing of Captain Ronald Thielen, PO614&nbsp;on Sunday November 7, 2021.&nbsp;&nbsp;Ron was at home in Gilbert, Arizona, with his wife, Mary, when&nbsp;he succumbed&nbsp;to heart disease after a long and valiant battle.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Captain&nbsp;Ron, as his friends knew him,&nbsp;was born on December 13, 1945, and&nbsp;hailed from Dorrance, a small town in central Kansas.&nbsp; Ron was already a licensed pilot&nbsp;when he attended university in Kansas.&nbsp; He then volunteered to become a pilot for the United States Marine Corps, where he flew the photo-reconnaissance version of the Grumman A-6 Intruder in Vietnam.&nbsp; Ron was "in country" for ten months.&nbsp; Many of Ron's missions involved&nbsp;intelligence&nbsp;gathering as he flew over the infamous Ho Chi Minh trail.&nbsp; While stationed in Vietnam, Ron was exposed to the defoliant Agent Orange, which negatively impacted his health in his later years.&nbsp; After his service in the Marine Corps, Ron became type-rated in the Lear Jet and Cessna Citation, and flew for a Texas-based film production company.&nbsp; On February 16th of 1987, Ron was hired by America West Airlines, where he was based in Phoenix, Arizona.&nbsp; Ron flew the Boeing 737-100, 200. and 300, now called the Boeing 737 Classic.&nbsp; After his upgrade to Captain on the 737, Ron transitioned to the Airbus A320, and flew both the A319 and A320 to destinations in the United States, as well as Mexico and Canada, until his retirement in 2002.&nbsp;&nbsp;Ron particularly enjoyed flying the Airbus to Anchorage, Alaska.

When Ron was not flying, he enjoyed riding Harley-Davidson motorcycles, and regularly made the yearly pilgrimage to Sturgis, South Dakota.&nbsp; Ron was also an avid sportsman and outdoorsman, who participated in the Kansas deer harvest for many years.&nbsp; Ron was very patriotic, and was proud of his military service.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Ron is survived by his spouse, Mary Thielen, of Gilbert, Arizona, as well as daughters Cherrie Jo of Georgia, Deanna of Nebraska, and son Dallas, who lives in Arizona; sister Kay Robinson of Hoisington, Kansas. &nbsp;Ron was also close to his three stepsons, JD and Paul Gallagher of Colorado, and Andrew Gallagher, who lives in Arizona.&nbsp; Ron was a highly-regarded Captain.&nbsp; Those of us who knew Ron remember him as a quick-witted, clever pilot, and a devoted and loyal family man&nbsp;with&nbsp;strong&nbsp;friendships.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Cremation has been selected by the family. &nbsp;A memorial funeral mass will be held at 10:30 A.M. on Friday, June 17, 2022, at the St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Dorrance, Kansas. &nbsp;Burial of the cremains will follow at the St. Joseph’s Catholic Cemetery in Dorrance, Kansas. &nbsp;Military honors will be performed by the Russell V.F.W. Post 6240. &nbsp;Family will&nbsp;greet guests the day of the service. &nbsp;A reception will be held&nbsp;in the building next to the cemetery&nbsp;after the service. &nbsp;

Pohlman-Varner-Peeler Mortuary of Russell, Kansas is in charge of the memorial service arrangements.
