Surname Degenhardt is composed of Old High German degan ‘young warrior’, hart ‘strong’. &nbsp;A fitting title for this man. &nbsp;

Kenneth&nbsp;E. Degenhardt, age 81, residing in Mulvane, Kansas, ended his fight with a form of progressive dementia on May 31st, 2022, at St. Francis Medical Center, Wichita, Kansas.

Kenny was born January 26th, 1941, in Pfeifer, Kansas, to Casper and Anna Margaret (Urban) Degenhardt. &nbsp;He grew up in attendance of the Holy Cross Catholic School in Pfeifer, Kansas, with daily duties as an altar boy. &nbsp;His childhood initials, still etched into a pew in the church.

In January of 1961, Kenny answered the call of duty by enlisting in the US Air Force. &nbsp;His pride in serving this country became an inflection point for all the experiences and “service to others” that would follow. &nbsp;

Trained as an electrician, Kenny owned and operated Degenhardt’s Heating and Air Conditioning in Hays, Kansas. &nbsp;He provided outstanding service to his customers for over two decades.

He also served 16 years as the Director of Facilities at the Cerebral Palsy Research Foundation in Wichita, Kansas. &nbsp;Kenny’s desire to serve others was never more appreciated by a group of people.

Not one to let the moss grow, Kenny continued to serve his military brothers and sisters after retiring. &nbsp;A celebrated volunteer recognized for the many hours of distinguished service, he absolutely loved his work at the Robert J. Dole VA Medical Center. &nbsp;

Kenny was predeceased by his parents; &nbsp;his brother, Vernon Degenhardt and an infant brother, Larry Degenhardt; his sisters, Viola “Effie” Fiffe, Ruby Antrim, Cleopha (Cleo) Klein; and his grand-daughter, Erynn Hanna.

He is survived by his wife, Jill Degenhardt of Mulvane, Kansas; Sister, Sylvia Kruse (Dave) of Hoxie, Kansas; Sister-in-law, Virginia Degenhardt of Branson, Missouri; Children: Keith Degenhardt of Hays, Kansas; Karen Rush (Rob) of Evans, Colorado; Kay Guzman (Dan) of Wichita, Kansas; Kirk Degenhardt of Hays, Kansas; &nbsp;Keri Sutter (Zac Nelling) of Oak Grove, Missouri; &nbsp;Kindra Degenhardt of Derby, Kansas; &nbsp;Kim Hanna (Eric) of Midlothian, Texas; &nbsp;Steve Griffin of Wichita, Kansas; 14 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren.

Funeral service will be held at 11:00 am on June 17th, at the North Woodlawn Baptist Church, 1409 N. Woodlawn Blvd, Derby, Kansas. &nbsp;Reception to follow internment.

Marsha Crook passed away peacefully on June 4, 2022, after a courageous 
battle with Alzheimer’s disease at the age of 68. She was born on 
September 30, 1953, in Colby, KS to Lyle and Margaret Gillispie.&nbsp; She 
married Jack Crook on February 15, 1976, and they went on to have two 
sons, Jeff and Jeret. 
With a passion for teaching, Marsha graduated from Colby High School and
 then earned her Bachelor’s of Education from Fort Hays State University
 in 1976. Marsha taught with a servant’s heart and loved setting her 
young students up for future success. Her career spanned three decades 
at four elementary schools: St Dominic Catholic School, Plymell, Jennie 
Wilson, and Holcomb where the families she served described her as 
devoted, patient, and loving. Her legacy of love lives on in the hearts 
of hundreds of students. 
Family and close friends will remember Marsha’s joyful spirit and her 
love of music and dancing. Never will they hear a Journey song again 
without thinking of her. When she wasn’t teaching, you could likely find
 her cheering for KU athletics, selling candles, swimming in her pool, 
and caring for her beloved pets. 
But, her family was her ultimate pride and joy. As a devoted mom, she 
loved supporting her boys in their childhood passion of sprint car 
racing. She championed their strengths and instilled some of her best 
traits of patience and empathy in them. Always a great listener, Marsha 
provided a safe space as a friend and confidant. When her boys had 
children of their own, Marsha became the ultimate grandma by providing a
 fun-filled second home for her grandchildren and taking frequent trips 
to Dallas to spoil the youngest of her grandchildren. 
She is survived by her husband Jack Crook, Jeff and Natalie Crook (Jaden
 and Jenna), Jeret and Laura Crook (Caroline, Henry, and Patrick), her 
siblings Sherri Hiebert, Jodie Ackerman, Randy Gillispie, Richard 
Gillispie. 
Funeral Service will be at 10:30 AM Wednesday at Turning Point Church Of
 The Nazarene with Rev Nathan Haeck officiating.&nbsp; Burial will be in 
Valley View Cemetery in Garden City.&nbsp; Memorials are suggested to Finney 
County Humane Society in care of Garnand Funeral Home.&nbsp; Condolences may 
be posted at www.garnandfuneralhomes.com.
