Don was born on April 9, 1949, in Unionville, Missouri, to Don and Mary Kathleen Dooley. He was the oldest of five children.

Don worked for many years at El Dorado Bus and Beechcraft. At Beechcraft, he became a union steward and proudly represented his fellow aerospace workers for several years. After leaving Beechcraft, Don continued his work as a labor advocate by joining KOSE and KPERS, where he represented teachers, law enforcement dispatchers, prison guards, and others.

He finished his career working for St. Francis as a foster family recruiter. He found many new families who went on to foster hundreds of children in need across the state.

Before becoming ill, Don was an avid golfer, fisherman, cook, and BBQ master. He loved hitting a bucket of balls on his way home from work, smoking his famous ribs, golfing in Lindsborg on the weekends, and following his children and grandchildren as they grew.

Don married his wife, Cleona, on March 1, 1986. Together, they raised their children, traveled, had adventures through many states, and, most importantly, loved each other through good times and bad — in sickness and in health.

Don was preceded in death by his parents and his grandson, Joshua Dooley. He is survived by his wife, Cleona; daughter Catie (Cathy) Stuart (Dwayne); sons Donald Dooley Jr. (Dixie), Brad Sherbert (Jennifer), Travis Dooley (Bridgette), and Dallas Taylor (Whitney); and step-children Trisha Womack and Chad Roberts. He is also survived by his siblings Vicki Goodson (Dave), Gary Dooley, Karen West, and Sandy Ryser (Rich); three nieces and five nephews; 18 grandchildren; and 14 great-grandchildren.

Don received extraordinary care from many healthcare professionals during his long illness. Their tireless efforts allowed his family to share many more years with him. The family would especially like to recognize Dr. Brian Pavey, the entire staff of Fresenius Kidney Care, the SRHC Emergency Department, and the 4th Medical floor nurses and doctors for their patience, skill, and wisdom. We would also like to thank RN Kelly Winslow for her kindness, assistance, and care during Don’s final hours.

A celebration of life will be held on June 14, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at Christ Cathedral, 138 S. 8th St., Salina, KS, with lunch provided following the service. Interment of his ashes will take place at a later date with his family.

Dorothy May Lundstrom

Alden “Al” Duane Eidet&nbsp;78 years old of Beverly, Kansas departed with angels on October 21, 2024 at his home surrounded by family and friends after a long battle with cancer.

He was born April 19, 1946 to Norman H. Eidet and Eleanor A. “Vedvig” Eidet in Stanley, North Dakota. He spent his childhood and school years growing up in North Dakota before entering the oil industry.

He was united in marriage to Myrtle “Ann” Kissick on June 3, 1966 in Tescott, Kansas. They had two children son Terry and daughter Sheila.

Throughout their marriage he showed he was a man of many trades. He worked at the Pepsi and Warta Buick companies in Salina, Kansas. Then he moved his family to Nebraska where he was employed with Good Year and Iseman Mobile Homes in Grand Island, Nebraska. Then he decided to take his family back up to his home area where he shared his trades with Koch and Tioga Air Heaters. As the years went by he and his family came back to Kansas where he became self-employed in running his own mobile home repair and traveling the state delivering the Wheels for You books with his wife. Then he decided to become employed with the Kansas Highway Patrol Troop C as a Custodial Specialist in Salina, Kansas which is where he retired from.

He was a loving husband and extraordinary father who was always so generous, eager and devoted to all his family and friends especially to his grandchildren he was their “Hero”! They always enjoyed hearing his stories and always knew he was very opinionated when it came to whatever was thrown his way. He was known to them as “Pops” or just grandpa. The grandsons knew they could always turn to him if needed any mechanic advice whether it was for their daily cars or race cars and the granddaughters could always depend on him no matter what the reasons. He always had that sense of love and humor no matter what. To all that knew him knew he was one of a kind and will always be in their hearts and mind.

He was a busy man always doing things he enjoyed like going to car races and supporting his drivers and meeting up with family and friends at the track. He loved flea markets and garage sales and always looking to add to his die cast car collection for which he proudly showed in his lighted curio. You could always find him fiddling in his sheds/ shops and even helping “Mom” with the yard work. He was also taking up playing guitar just for some extra entertainment or even singing.

He is proceeded in death by his parents, In-laws Bill and Arlene Kissick, brother Norris Eidet, sister Beatrice and husband Walter “ Sonny” Larson, brother-in-law Ronald Brilz, niece Wanda Holloway, daughter-in-law Mary “Whitson” Eidet and great grandson Gracin Eidet.

He leaves behind with his memories his loving wife Ann of 58 years of the home, brother Robert “ Bobby” ( Luisa) Eidet of Puyallup, Washington, sister Norma Brilz of Tioga, North Dakota, brother-in-law Carl “LaVern” (Linda) Kissick of Marquette, Kansas, son Terry (Charlie) Eidet, daughter Sheila Tatro (Gary Pauley) , sons deeply and forever in heart Wesley Hume, James Stubby, Christopher Handley, Timothy Dewell Handley, Les Wright , grandchildren Heather, Kristy (Randy),Terry “T.J” (Krissy), Dakotah (Katelyn), Raymond, Michael (Samantha),Harley (Felicia) and Hayleigh (Billy). 15 great grandchildren and nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers donations can be made to&nbsp;St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in memory of Al Eidet.

Cremation was chosen by Al with a Celebration of Life being held on June 14, 2025 in Minneapolis, Kansas at Scout building in Markley Grove Park from 2-6.

Homer D. Goering, 92, of Moundridge, KS, passed away on Saturday, June 7, 2025, at Pine Village in Moundridge.&nbsp; He was one of six children born to Christian S. Goering and Marie (Kaufman) Goering.&nbsp; He was born July 25, 1932, at Moundridge, KS.&nbsp; He grew up on a farm west of Moundridge where early on, he learned an appreciation of rural life and nature.&nbsp; In his home, he was taught the value of following strong Christian principles and regular church attendance.

He attended grade school and high school in Moundridge, graduating in 1950.&nbsp; He attended Bethel College for four years, enrolling in all ag related and industrial arts classes that were offered.&nbsp; He enjoyed playing football and basketball while there.&nbsp; He was given all-conference honorable mention in football in 1952 and the same in basketball in 1953.&nbsp; Their basketball team was KCAC champions in 1956 and 1957.&nbsp; He played town team basketball until age 40, enjoying the camaraderie of the guys on the team.&nbsp; He was baptized in 1948 becoming a member of Eden Mennonite Church and attending there throughout his life.

He spent two years in I-W service, working out of a unit house with 15 other I-Ws. He had about 20 reunions in the last 50+ years with this group. The last year of I-W, he wrote many letters to Dorothy.&nbsp; She was the love of his life.

He married Dorothy Ewert on December 20, 1956, and the couple made their home on the same farm where he was born. They became parents of six sons born from 1957 to 1964.&nbsp; They moved to Pine Village in 2008. They celebrated their 65th&nbsp;wedding anniversary in 2021. Life was meaningful shared with his loving wife and family.

The couple dairyed for 35 years. He built their own dairy barn and several cattle sheds, two machine sheds, and two garages (one being in Busy, Montana during his voluntary service years). Another exciting project was welding together a pedal tractor and a go-cart for his sons’ enjoyment.

Church was a must for him. He sang in church choirs, Kansas Mennonite Men’s Chorus for nearly 50 years, and two quartets for a time. He taught Sunday school at times and served as trustee for several years.

His faith journey had its struggles. In his teens, he was attacked by a dairy bull; his wife, Dorothy, nearly died from a complication during the delivery of their first born child; Dorothy dealing with Parkinson’s for over 20 years; crop failures; and a bout with family member’s mental health issues to name but a few.&nbsp; Each one was a spiritual challenge, needing God’s strength and help.

Preceding Homer in death were wife, Dorothy; son, Jerome; parents and parents-in-law; three sisters, Delia Graber, Erna Stucky, and Lola Beth Ediger; two brothers, Olin and Gene Goering; sisters-in-law, Janet Goering, Ruth Goering, and Grace Brandt; and brothers-in-law, Verne Graber, Ray Ediger, and Harvey J. Stucky.

Survivors include sons, Vaughn of Peabody, Larry (Sarah) of McPherson, Roy (Sheralyn) of Newton, Ron (Cecilia) of Moundridge, and Sam (Marcia) of Moundridge; brother-in-law, Raymond Brandt of North Newton; 11 grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren; and three great-great-grandchildren.

The funeral service will be held at 10:30 AM, Thursday, June 12, 2025, at Eden Mennonite Church, Moundridge.&nbsp; A private graveside service will precede the service in the church cemetery.

Memorials may be given to Pine Village or Gentiva Hospice in care of Stockham Family Funeral Home, 205 North Chestnut, McPherson, KS 67460.

Jermaine Virginia McGregor, aged 82, passed away peacefully on May 31, 2025. Jermaine was born in San Diego, California, to DeMerle E. Eckart Sr. and Marjorie “Maddy” Eckart. A proud graduate of Hutchinson High School, she went on to earn her bachelor’s degree from Marshall University and later completed a master’s in special education at the University of New Mexico.

Jermaine lived a life full of purpose and passion. She constantly sought creative ways to improve the world—always thinking outside the box and never hesitating to challenge the status quo. From a young age, she was drawn to service: volunteering in group homes and later pioneering a first-of-its-kind Ombudsman Program in Lexington, Kentucky. Her lifelong commitment to justice, education, and compassion left an indelible mark on countless lives.

Her career as a Special Education teacher took her to the Jicarilla Apache Nation, where she inspired students with her energy, empathy, and dedication. She later retired from the Cuba, New Mexico School District, but her passion for education and service never waned.

Jermaine was also a fierce advocate for animals. Whether it was a stray on the street or a horse in need of love, they always seemed to find her—and she welcomed them with open arms. Her love for horses endured throughout her life and brought her great joy and peace.

She was preceded in death by her beloved sister, Deborah Ann Eckart; her parents, DeMerle E. Eckart Sr., and Marjorie “Maddy” Eckart; and her brother, James Eckart.

Jermaine is survived by her former spouse, Robert McGregor; children: Cory Sanchez (former spouse Lori Sanchez), James Sanchez (former spouse Kathleen), Zack Grey, and Flower McGregor-Hulihan (former spouse Mark); her brother, DeMerle Eckart Jr. (spouse Gail); her grandchildren: Samantha Kata (spouse Martin), Michael Sanchez, Jason Sanchez, Laine Hulihan, Alec Hulihan, Matthew Hulihan, and Joseph Sanchez (spouse Luna); great-grandchildren: Francis Kata, Chloe Kata, and Rowan Sanchez; and her niece Shawna Berg (spouse Ryan).

A celebration of Jermaine’s life and burial will take place at 11:00 A.M., Saturday, June 14, at Franklin Cemetery, south of Tescott. On Friday, June 13, those wishing to pay their respects may visit Wilson Family Funeral Home 405 Argyle Ave., Minneapolis, KS 67467 between the hours of 4:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M.

Jermaine will be remembered for her radiant spirit, fearless advocacy, and boundless compassion. Her legacy lives on in every life she touched.
