November 3, 1932 ~ February 18, 2023 (age 90)

LINCOLN Julia Ella Bell Bland, 90, of Lincoln, KS died February 18, 2023 at Haysville, KS. She was born November 3, 1932 to Jesse Earl Bell and Lillian Mary (Johnson) Bell in Salina, KS.&nbsp;

Left to celebrate her life include daughter Mary Hunt (Donnie), Belle Plaine, KS; sons Samuel Bland (Wendy), Orono, ME; John A. Bland (Marcia), Tigard, OR; Paul Bland (Lendi), Americus, KS; Mark Bland (Melissa), Conway, AR; Charles Bland (Rebecca), Claremore, OK; sixteen grandchildren; and sixteen great-grandchildren. 

She was preceded in death by her parents, her spouse Rev. John W. Bland, and brothers Derriel Bell, who died in infancy, and Gail Bell, who died in 1950 at age 22.

She attended school in Salina, KS, graduating from Washington High School in Salina in 1950. Following high school, she enrolled at Baptist Bible College, Springfield, MO and attended one year.&nbsp; 

While there she met Rev. John W. Bland and they were married in Salina on October 21, 1951. As the wife of a minister, she was very involved in the many churches he pastored, often playing the piano and doing children’s sermons for the services. 

She was also a talented professional artist; she was prolific in ink, prints, and watercolor and oil paint and her work hangs in many homes, churches, and places of business around Kansas. Many of these paintings are displayed in wooden frames that she crafted. She also taught art classes part time to community college, high school and middle school students.&nbsp; Earlier, she was employed by various photographers for whom she colorized portrait photographs with oil paints before color prints became common. &nbsp;

In addition, she was a published author and illustrator of eleven original books of children’s sermons that were based on material she developed and used herself in her own children’s sermons. The children’s sermons from her books are used in churches around the country.&nbsp; 

She was skilled in the kitchen, and among the many delicious dishes that she put together, she specialized in pies which she sold to restaurants who in turn put them on their menus.

She was a wonderful mother whose love and prayers were profoundly felt by many but felt most of all by her daughter and sons.

A graveside service will be held at 1:00 p.m., Friday, February 24, 2023 at Lincoln Cemetery, Lincoln, KS.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Birger Sandzén Memorial Art Gallery, Lindsborg, c/o Hall Chapel, P.O. Box 37, Lincoln, KS 67455.&nbsp;

Rodney D. 'Rod' Rolfs

<a href="https://www.nsrfh.com/obituary/betty-spellman">https://www.nsrfh.com/obituary/betty-spellman</a>

Betty Maxine Spellman, daughter of J. Howard and Anna (Smith) Morley was born on a farm in Clay County, Kansas, October 5, 1927, and died at her home February 19, 2023, at the age of 95.

Betty and her brother Les were raised and attended grade schools in the Oak Hill community and the Oak Hill Presbyterian Church, where their mother played the piano and taught Sunday school.

Betty graduated in 1945 from the Clay Center High School.&nbsp; She could have gone to high school in Longford but wanted to take some secretarial classes not offered there, so opted to attend Clay Center. She (like a few others) rented a room with a family while attending classes during the week and occasionally was able to go home for the weekend.

After graduation she at first worked for V. R. Vergades Insurance Company and then for attorney Elmer Anderson.&nbsp;

Betty married Dale Edward Spellman Sunday December 14, 1947, at the First Presbyterian Church, Clay Center, Kansas before Sunday school.&nbsp; The planned wedding date had been set for a few days later, but they moved up the nuptials to hopefully squelch any mischievous pranks Dale’s friends had in mind, and off to Kansas City for their honeymoon.&nbsp;

At first, they shared a two-story house with two other families.&nbsp; The young Spellman couple walked in the front door and up the stairway to the second floor where they had two private rooms which consisted of a bedroom and a kitchen/dining/living area. They shared a refrigerator in the hall, and the door to the bathroom they shared was also in the hall.&nbsp;

In March of 1949, they moved to a family farm east of Clay Center where they spent the rest of their lives engaged in farming, dairying, raising their two children and enjoying their five grandchildren.&nbsp; They retired in 1992.

Betty was involved in the community.&nbsp; Serving as a leader in the Hayes Boosters 4-H Club, was a member of one of the county Extension Homemakers Units, the Hayes United Methodist Church and Hayes United Methodist Women, and was a Red Cross Volunteer including writing up the news for the Dispatch.&nbsp; After the Hayes Church closed in 2009, she transferred her membership to the Clay Center United Methodist Church where she became part of the Alla Sera Cluster and the Piloteers Sunday School Class.&nbsp;

Betty had many talents and gifts.&nbsp; She enjoyed sewing, rock hunting, embroidery, ceramics, macramé, traveling, bus trips, genealogy and visiting cemeteries, flower arranging, gardening, bird watching, and feeding the birds, squirrels, quail, and the occasional stray cat. Most of all, she enjoyed time spent with family and friends.&nbsp;

One of the downfalls of living to the age of 95 is out living many of your friends and family members.&nbsp; Another one of her gifts was the ability of making new friends.&nbsp;

Betty was preceded in death by her infant daughter Virginia Ann, her mother Anna, her husband Dale, her father J. Howard, and her bonus-mother Dorothy; her sisters and brothers-in-law Earl, Irene, Bob and Irma; and her bonus sisters Betty, Ruth Ann and Janice.

Betty was loved and her life is celebrated by her daughter Linda and husband Dallas Cunningham; son Mark and wife Teresa Spellman of Clay Center; granddaughters Lindsay and husband Simon Sun of Olathe and Gena and husband Chad Abernathy of Raymore, Missouri; grandsons Scot and wife Elizabeth Spellman of Wamego; Jason and wife Mandy Spellman, and Cody and wife Nicole Spellman of Junction City; great-granddaughters Anna and husband Dillon Eyer of Boise, Idaho; Mollie Spellman of Wamego; and Addyson and Remington Spellman of Junction City; great-grandsons Logan and Luke Sun of Olathe; Benjamin Spellman of Wamego; and Chase and Easton Spellman of Junction City; her brother Les and wife Jodie Morley of Bartlett, Tennessee; her childhood “like a sister forever friend” Lorene Fengel of Abilene; many nieces, nephews, other relatives, neighbors, and friends.

Funeral services: 10:30 a.m. Friday, February 24, 2023, at the United Methodist Church in Clay Center, KS

Burial: Ebenezer Cemetery, Clay County, Kansas

Visitation: 5-7 p.m. Thursday, February 23, at Neill-Schwensen-Rook Funeral Home

She (like a few others) rented a room with a family while attending classes during the week and occasionally was able to go home for the weekend.After graduation she at first worked for V. R. Vergades Insurance Company and then for attorney Elmer Anderson.&nbsp;Betty married Dale Edward Spellman Sunday December 14, 1947, at the First Presbyterian Church, Clay Center, Kansas before Sunday school.&nbsp; The planned wedding date had been set for a few days later, but they moved up the nuptials to hopefully squelch any mischievous pranks Dale’s friends had in mind, and off to Kansas City for their honeymoon.&nbsp;At first, they shared a two-story house with two other families.&nbsp; The young Spellman couple walked in the front door and up the stairway to the second floor where they had two private rooms which consisted of a bedroom and a kitchen/dining/living area. They shared a refrigerator in the hall, and the door to the bathroom they shared was also in the hall.&nbsp;In March of 1949, they moved to a family farm east of Clay Center where they spent the rest of their lives engaged in farming, dairying, raising their two children and enjoying their five grandchildren.&nbsp; They retired in 1992.Betty was involved in the community.&nbsp; Serving as a leader in the Hayes Boosters 4-H Club, was a member of one of the county Extension Homemakers Units, the Hayes United Methodist Church and Hayes United Methodist Women, and was a Red Cross Volunteer including writing up the news for the Dispatch.&nbsp; After the Hayes Church closed in 2009, she transferred her membership to the Clay Center United Methodist Church where she became part of the Alla Sera Cluster and the Piloteers Sunday School Class.&nbsp;Betty had many talents and gifts.&nbsp; She enjoyed sewing, rock hunting, embroidery, ceramics, macramé, traveling, bus trips, genealogy and visiting cemeteries, flower arranging, gardening, bird watching, and feeding the birds, squirrels, quail, and the occasional stray cat. Most of all, she enjoyed time spent with family and friends.&nbsp;One of the downfalls of living to the age of 95 is out living many of your friends and family members.&nbsp; Another one of her gifts was the ability of making new friends.&nbsp;Betty was preceded in death by her infant daughter Virginia Ann, her mother Anna, her husband Dale, her father J.

Cheryl Ann Turley, 72, was born Cheryl Ann Criswell in Ellsworth, KS on 
December 25th in 1950, and passed away in her Park City, KS home with 
her daughter by her side on February 17th, 2023. 
She was a 1969 graduate of Medicine Lodge High School, and attended Salt
 City Business College from 1969 to 1971. Earning her degree as a 
certified Legal Secretary. She was well-read and even more so, 
well-versed. She strived with speed at any keyboard or typewriter, and 
was very skilled in the art of shorthand. She married Dennis Mayfield in
 Medicine Lodge, KS in 1971. Later divorcing in 1974. During her time in
 Milwaukee, Wisconsin she gave birth to her adored first-born son, Jason
 Matthew in February of 1972. She later married Delmar Turley in Scott 
City in 1976. Divorcing in 2009. Tyson Jay, her much loved middle 
child, was born in December of 1979 in Scott City, and the inseparable 
love for her daughter Shareena Kay, came in November of 1986 also in 
Scott City, KS. 
She lived in many places throughout her life including: Wilson, Salina, 
Medicine Lodge, Scott City, Park City, Odessa, Amarillo, Des Moines, and
 Milwaukee, but she never lost her deep love for the State of Texas. Her
 time at Odessa’s Permian High School, is among her most favorable 
memories, when she was Adonis Tri-Hi-Y, and a Pepette in the school’s 
Pep Club. She often recalled all the wonderful memories and life long 
friendships that were made during her senior year at Medicine Lodge, and
 was especially fond of her Texan childhood and the precious memories 
made on Patton Drive in the Permian Basin. 
Her time as a para and computer teacher at Shallow Water and Healy 
schools, as well as, her near decade of service as the friendliest face 
at Wendy’s were, and will always be, cherished by many. She enjoyed 
traveling with friends and family to California, The Dakotas, Missouri, 
Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Tennessee, Florida and many other places 
along the way. She often spoke of wonderful memories around music and 
dances. Was a natural born story-teller and especially enjoyed having 
long conversations with her closest friends and family. She would talk 
with you through anything, and was always a listening ear. Giving 
counsel to so many throughout her lifetime. Every single person that met
 her, fell in love with her adorable, bubbly, joyous personality. Her 
favorite past time was reading about angels, mysteries, or just about 
any novel. She enjoyed several genres, but mostly loved delving into 
scripture, and spending time with the Lord. Most important to Cheryl, 
was her unconditional love of Jesus Christ. 
She is preceded in death by her father Darrel Leroy Criswell 1920-1997 
and her cherished mother Edith Mae (McCoy) Criswell 1926-2016. She will 
be forever held in beautiful memory by her three beloved children, whom

Paula Jo Wilson was born December 3, 1953, in Abilene, KS, to the 
late Paul Edward &amp; Pauline Bethel (Kohart) Hazelton.  She died on 
Wednesday, February 15, 2023, at her home in Davis, OK, at the age of 69
 years, 2 months, and 2 days.  Paula and Earl Dean Wilson were married 
on December 16, 1984, in Abilene.  He preceded her in death on September
 18, 2009.

Paula grew up in Abilene.  Following her 1971 
graduation from Abilene High School, she attended Fort Hays State 
University, in Hays, KS.  After college, she spent a few years working 
in hotel management, where her main job was coordinating conventions. 
While working in this field, Paula was fortunate to meet several 
well-known celebrities, professional singers, and musicians.  After 
leaving her position in convention coordinating, she spent five years 
working in hotel software logistics.  This position allowed her to 
travel about, assisting with the opening of new hotels.   After she and 
Earl married, Paula became a full-time mom.  She spent her time caring 
for her children and being active in Cub Scouts, PTA and many other 
interests that her children had.

Paula and her family 
moved to Oklahoma in 1995, where she continued her role as a very active
 mother.  Once the children were older, she attended East Central 
University in Ada, OK, where she earned a Bachelors degree in nursing.  
After graduating from ECU, Paula became employed with Mercy Health in 
Ardmore, OK, where until only a few months prior to her death, she 
worked as a registered nurse in the ICU.

Paula was 
known to be extremely creative. She enjoyed sewing, gardening and 
tutoring children with their reading skills.  Paula was also very active
 with the Pathway Methodist Church, where she served as Sunday School 
Superintendent for several years, as well as taught Sunday School 
classes.  Her desire to serve God, allowed her to witness to others, 
bringing many to know Jesus Christ as their personal savior, just as she
 knew him.

Survivors include her daughter, Rebekah Wilson 
of Davis; three sons, Erik Wilson of Davis, Paul Wilson &amp; wife Regan
 of Stratford, OK, and Neil Wilson &amp; wife Allison of Healy, KS; five
 grandchildren, Genesis, Jericho, Neo, Tyndale and Jay Wilson; three 
sisters, Judy Kohardt-Hazelton &amp; Jamie Davidson of Abilene, and 
Ellen Locke of Newton, KS; and one brother, David Hazelton &amp; wife

Rick N. Anderson, 75, of McPherson, KS, passed away peacefully on Saturday, February 18, 2023, surrounded by family at McPherson Hospital.

Rick was born on April 18, 1947, in Story City, Iowa, the son of Everett Vernon and Garnette (Mohler) Anderson.&nbsp;

After college, Rick took his first job as a microbiologist for a meat packing company (Monfort of Colorado) located in Greeley, CO.&nbsp; He worked there for one year but hated it.&nbsp; Later, he went to work for a utility company called Greeley Gas (Greeley, CO) and was later promoted and moved to Herington, Kansas.&nbsp; While in Herington, Rick served as the president of the Chamber of Commerce for two years. One day, the owner of Greeley Gas Company came to visit Rick who was second in command at the Herington location. When asked about his future aspirations with the company, Rick looked over at his boss, pointed at him, and said, “I want his job!”&nbsp; Rick was promptly terminated after working with the company for eleven years!&nbsp;

He then went to work for Kansas Power &amp; Light and they moved him to McPherson where he managed the McPherson office.&nbsp; He was later transferred to Topeka but two months later he accepted a job with the McPherson Board of Public Utilities as General Manager. He served as General Manager of BPU from 1989 until retirement in 2011.

While at the BPU, he worked to address water well contamination and restored three wells by adding a scrubber unit.

The BPU also acquired the property and constructed Power Plant #3, completing construction in 2002.&nbsp; This was a $30 million project.&nbsp; &nbsp;

The highlight of Rick’s life came on June 6, 1998, when he married the love of his life, Elizabeth Williams.&nbsp; He described her as the most beautiful woman in the world, inside and out.&nbsp; Their marriage made for a large family when combining Rick’s two children with Betty’s three children.&nbsp; Rick enjoyed being a stepgrandparent to a number of children.

For many years, Rick enjoyed going with family and friends to his favorite fishing spot in a remote part of Ontario, Canada.&nbsp; Many memories were made on these trips and one year, he instructed Mathew and friends to build an “Inuksuk,” which is a structure of stones,&nbsp;stacked&nbsp;in the form of a human figure, traditionally used by Inuit people as a landmark or a&nbsp;commemorative&nbsp;sign.&nbsp; It was Rick’s wish for the Canadian Inuksuk to be the final resting place of his cremated remains.

Advice to grandkids: &nbsp;“Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude.” (Borrowed from Zig Ziglar)

One time Rick attended a soccer game where grandson, Lee Williams, scored three goals, otherwise known as a hat trick.&nbsp; Lee was really proud of his accomplishment but after the game Rick offered this advice, “You could have done better!” &nbsp;

Survivors include his loving wife Elizabeth “Betty”; a sister, Carole (Lee) Nield of Evergreen, CO and their kids Doug (Lori) Nield, Cathy Nield, and Brad (Karin) Nield; a daughter, Julie (Sean) Barber of Argyle, TX, and kids Taylor, Tatum, &amp; Teaghan; a son, Mathew (Cheryl) Anderson and kids Matie, Brodey, Abby, Emmy, and Camryn; three stepchildren: Danny (Wanda) Williams of McPherson, KS and their family, Elle Williams (Jacob Wagner) and child Kallan, Shanda (Trent) Swanson and kids Rhian, Ridge, Rhett, and Rooks, Kesley (Matt) Carlson and kids Kannon and Hattie, and Devon (Josh) Spurlock and child Tayt; David (Ronda) Williams of McPherson, KS and their family Lee (Kailey) Williams and child Elliott, Logan Williams, and Luke Williams; and Becky (Kelly) Schroeder of Overland Park, KS and their family Braden Schroeder and Trenton Schroeder.

Rick was preceded in death by his parents and a brother, Keith Anderson.

His hobbies included golfing, fishing, and hunting.&nbsp; He was a member of Rotary Club International and Trinity Lutheran Church where he was a former chairman of the church council.&nbsp; He was also a board member of the McPherson Hospital Foundation and Kansas Municipal Utilities Association.&nbsp;

A celebration of Rick’s life will be held at 1:00 p.m., Friday, February 24, 2023, at Trinity Lutheran Church with Rev. Tim Leaf officiating.&nbsp; The family will receive friends from 12:00 p.m. (noon) until service time at the church.

Memorial donations are suggested to Trinity Lutheran Church in care of Stockham Family Funeral Home, 205 North Chestnut, McPherson, KS 67460.

<a href="https://www.mcdonaldrobertsfuneralservice.com/obituary/jamie-balluch">https://www.mcdonaldrobertsfuneralservice.com/obituary/jamie-balluch</a>

Jamie Lee Balluch was born September 27, 1979, in Salina, Kansas, the son of Chris and Ila Balluch. He died unexpectedly in Bruning, Nebraska, at the age of 43.

Jamie was raised on a farm south of Beloit and worked on the Brockway family farm near Barnard for the majority of his childhood. He was a goat farmer, coon hunter, and leader of exploration around the hills of southern Mitchell County. His childhood adventures included wandering along the Salt Creek waiting for his grandpa to finish cutting wood, exploring the shelterbelts around the farm and just being an all-out rough country boy.

He graduated from Beloit High School in 1999 and completed his Diesel Mechanic Certificate from North Central Kansas Technical College in 2000. He loved bringing his friends out to the farm to be a part of the Balluch family. Taking on his first job off the farm, he worked for Foley Cat in Concordia. He returned to continue farming with his grandpa and uncle. He learned to be a man of many trades but loved doing dirt work most of all. He could be found on a dozer, scraper or road grader.

In 2004, he had his first daughter, Jenna Lee, and for the majority of her childhood they were inseparable. He later married Tara and their union brought three more daughters, Chloe Marie came in 2009, Chrissy Jolene in 2011 and Caity Lynn in 2014. There was no doubt that Jamie loved his girls. He showed his pride in his family with a tattoo of all four girls’ names displayed on his arm.

In 2017, Jamie left the farm to start a new adventure in Bruning, Nebraska. He first worked at Metal Tech in the small town and then began working at the Bruning Grain &amp; Feed. No matter what job he was doing, Jamie was always proud of his work and most family visits would include showing them where he worked and what he did.

He will be remembered for his constant smile, ornery chuckle, “See ya in the morning” saying and what a strong, hard worker he was with his trusty pliers on his hip.

He was preceded in death by his father, Chris; grandpas Charles Brockway and Eddie Balluch; and daughter Caity.

He is survived by his daughters Jenna Balluch of Glen Elder, Chloe and Chrissy Balluch of Sylvan Grove; mother Ila Balluch of Beloit; grandma Jolene Brockway of Barnard; grandma Dorothy Balluch of Ellsworth; sister Amber (Matt) Brawner of Haven; brother Michael (Brooke) Balluch of Dickinson, Texas; sister Jenica (Brett) Behymer of Glen Elder; and many nieces and nephews.

The family is honoring Jamie at 10 a.m. on Thursday, February 23 at the United Methodist Church in Barnard. They would like to welcome all to a luncheon following the service, which will be provided at the Barnard Community Building. 

A private family graveside service will take place at a later time. 

Cremation has taken place and there will be no visitation. 

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be given to the Balluch Family Expense Fund.
