Beth Elaine (Markley) Wirth-Bennett, Alva, OK

<a href="https://www.hallchapel.com/obituary/Beth-Wirth-Bennett">https://www.hallchapel.com/obituary/Beth-Wirth-Bennett</a>

ALVA, OK Beth (Markley) Wirth Bennett passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, in her Alva, Oklahoma residence on March 14, 2023, at the age of 96.

Having accepted Christ as her Savior at an early age, she was an inspiring model of faith and unconditional love to everyone she knew. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, lifelong educator, and master seamstress.

The fifth of eight children, Beth was born on July 18, 1926, on a farm in Lincoln County, Kansas, to Jennie and Ernest Markley, who delivered her. She and her siblings were vital to the success of the family farm and were taught at an early age to value education. 

She attended Surprise School through eighth grade and Lincoln High School, graduating without having ever missed a day of school.

Beth was united in marriage to Francis Wirth, a lifelong farmer who was also the State Farm Insurance agent in Lincoln, on February 26, 1943. 

She enjoyed helping drive the trucks for both custom harvest runs and their family harvests every year (always in a dress). 

She began teaching elementary school soon after she graduated high school. After eighteen years of attending summer school, she graduated from Fort Hays State University with a bachelor’s degree and later completed a master’s degree in elementary education and a reading specialist certificate, also from Fort Hays. As a reading specialist, she dedicated her forty-year career to teaching children in Osborne, Russell, and Lincoln counties to read. 

She retired in 1989, finishing her career as a second grade teacher at Lincoln Elementary School. 

After retirement, Beth married Walter Bennett in 1993 and lived in Chandler, Arizona, where her family grew to include Walt’s four children and many grandchildren. She lived in Chandler until moving to Denver City, Texas, to be near her sister, June Markley Hanneman. In 2013, Beth moved to the Homestead Retirement Community in Alva, Oklahoma, the home of her granddaughter’s family. There she enjoyed playing games, reading, sewing, crocheting beautiful doilies for each family member, listening to her Southern gospel music, and laughing with the ladies of Table 6. 

Beth was deeply loved by her family, who treasured her keen intelligence and sharp wit. Though her life was one of impeccable order and organization, she was always ready to play games deep into the night, always indulgent with her gifts and love, and always approachable and kind despite her regal bearing.

In addition to Francis Wirth and Walt Bennett, Beth was preceded in death by her daughter, Marilyn Ball, a lifelong teacher and children’s minister who inherited her love of children and education; her son-in-law, Don Ball; her sister, June Hanneman; and her brothers Howard, Kenneth, Ernest Jr., Max, Wilton, and Larry. 

She is survived by her brother Richard (Lois); sister-in-law Donna; granddaughters Kerri (James) Bell and Kristi Wolstenholm; her great-grandchildren Chris (Emily) and Ty Bell; her great-great-grandsons Grady and Wilder Bell; her stepchildren Steven (Ellen) Bennett, Louise (Edward) Wolfe, Lillian (Michael) DelPinto, Paul (Victoria) Bennett; her stepgrandchildren; stepgreat-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews. She loved all of these family members deeply.

Services for Beth will be held at the First Church of the Nazarene in Salina, Kansas, at 1:30 p.m. on Monday, March 20, with internment at the Lincoln Cemetery to follow.

Memorial contributions can be made to First Church of the Nazarene, Salina, c/o Hall Chapel, P.O. Box 37, Lincoln, KS 67455.

<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Sharron-Hamilton">https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Sharron-Hamilton</a>

December 19, 1933 ~ February 21, 2023 (age 89)

SALINA -&nbsp;Sharron Hamilton&nbsp;was born Dec. 19, 1933, at Ellsworth Hospital, but she soon headed for Lincoln, Kan., where she would spend most of her 89 years.

Sharron, born into the Great Depression, was the first child of Thomas and Haddie (Brockett) King. Her father supplemented the family larder by fishing – catfish, mostly – from the Saline River, which led to Sharron’s lifetime aversion to seafood of all kinds.

Tom and Haddie moved to Salina for a few years and Sharron attended first grade at Hawthorne Elementary. But they were soon drawn back to Lincoln, where Sharron completed the rest of her schooling. She was elected Homecoming Queen as a junior and graduated in 1951. She then attended Brown Mackie in Salina for a year, training as a legal secretary, before marrying her high school sweetheart, Bill Lewick, in 1952.

Bill joined the Air Force after they married and the couple moved to Omaha. Sharron worked for Swanson Foods, the frozen dinner company, in the promotions office. When Bill was discharged they returned to Lincoln, where Bill helped his dad farm and worked for Quartzite. Their first daughter, Teree, was born in 1956, and Tracee followed in 1960.

In June 1964, two days after moving to a new, larger house, Bill was tragically killed in an explosion at Quartzite and Sharron’s life dramatically changed. She began to work part-time, then full time, doing legal typing for Walt Urban and Gary Rohrer and in various positions at the courthouse.

Her friends Betty and Duane Cole set her up on a date with Robert Hamilton, who had returned to Lincoln to teach after a stint in the Army. Bob, as he never tired of reminding her, was a few years younger but stepped into the role of husband and father to two girls, ages 10 and 6, in 1966.

Sharron kept working, for photographers Charles Hogg and Dick Struble, and later for Keith Weigert in the Register of Deeds office and Joe Lamer in the Probate Judge’s office. In the 1970s, Sharron ran the Town and Country Dress Shop on Main Street, a job she loved. But her favorite job was working as a secretary at the Lincoln Elementary School, where she remained for 19 years before retiring.

Sharron and Bob moved to Salina in 2001 and Sharron embarked on two decades of tireless volunteer work. She loved helping at Salina Regional Health Center and served as an officer for the Salina Theater Guild and the Salina Symphony Guild, along with many hours with R.S.V.P. and Volunteer Connection, staffing blood drives and stuffing envelopes for jury duty, among other duties. She also served on the Historic Sites Board of Review, which approved projects for inclusion in the National Register, and the Kansas Library Board. She was active in many organizations in both Lincoln and Salina, including the DAR.

Bob, a graduate of the University of Kansas, brought Sharron into the Jayhawk fold early and she became a true blue convert. They had season tickets during some of the lean years in Lawrence, but were able to join Don Fambrough and Gale Sayers at the 2008 Orange Bowl. She also enjoyed sending little notes of encouragement to players and coaches, and many responded, including Larry Brown, Roy Williams and Bill Self. She got her photograph taken with Self and many players over the years; Sherron Collins and Frank Mason were among her favorites. She and Bob volunteered many years as organizers of the Kansas Honors Program for the Salina/Central Kansas region.

Sharron was known for her distinctive hair style, her beautiful handwriting, and her perfectly coordinated clothes, shoes and jewelry. No clerk ever took a check from Sharron without commenting on her penmanship. She was an avid antique collector, a tremendous Hallmark customer and a voracious reader.

In March 2020, Bob passed away and Sharron was a two-time widow. Her decline in health over the next few years took her volunteer work, her handwriting and her bouffant. She moved to Brookdale-Fairdale nursing home in January after a series of falls left her unable to walk.

Sharron passed away on Feb. 21, 2023, at the age of 89. She leaves a daughter and son-in-law, Teree and Nick Rohleder, and a daughter, Tracee Hamilton, all of Salina. She also leaves a beloved grandson, Dustin Engelken, an equally beloved granddaughter-in-law, Farah Mitz Bechette, and three great-granddaughters who were an endless source of pride and joy: Ayala Marie, Maelys Ann and Amelya Jolie, all of Raleigh, N.C.

Sharron wished to be cremated. Her ashes will be interred at St. Patrick’s Cemetery, Lincoln, near her late husband Bill and with Bob. A service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, March 25, 2023, at St.&nbsp; Patrick’s Catholic Church, Lincoln, with a luncheon to follow at the Parish Hall.

Memorials may be made to the Lincoln Art Center, the Lincoln County Historical Society, or the Salina Theater Guild.

 </figure>Barbara Jean Cleveland was born on September 16, 1934, in Atchison, KS; the daughter of Louis and Dorothy (Thompson) Cummings. She was married to Kenneth Cleveland on February 14, 1952; they later divorced. She was a highly educated lady and held a Master’s Degree of Educational Psychology from Wichita State University. Previously, she had achieved her Associates Degree from Cloud County College in Concordia and her Bachelor’s Degree from Marymount College in Salina. Barbara was a social worker for many years, but retired after a 20+ year long career as a Juvenile Intake Officer with the Butler County Sheriff’s Office. After retirement, Barbara took about a year off from work, but quickly decided she would be a good fit with Catholic Charities in their domestic violence department; she worked there for 9 years. She loved to crochet and would make beautiful afghans and liked to pass time by making homemade soaps. The highlight of her life was spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her loving family includes her children, Terry (Deanna) Cleveland of Salina, Cindy (Steve) Kahrs of Clay Center, Tim (Bendi) Cleveland of Pittsburg and Janet Cleveland of El Dorado; eight grandchildren; twelve great-grandchildren, and a sister, Darlene Reinhart. Barbara passed away on March 14, 2023, in Wichita, KS. She is preceded in death by her parents; one granddaughter, Amy Cleveland and two sisters, Carol Henderson and Betty Koob. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be directed to Butler County Sheriff’s Department or Catholic Charities. The family will be holding a private memorial service with burial at Swedesburg Cemetery.

<a href="https://www.jostfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Lois-Groening?obId=27508243#/obituaryInfo">https://www.jostfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Lois-Groening?obId=27508243#/obituaryInfo</a>

Hillsboro - Lois Groening was born August 1, 1933 to David and Emma (Madsen) Weber in Hillsboro, Kansas. She was the youngest of five children, growing up in Canada, Kansas where her father operated a blacksmith shop and ran a custom threshing business during the harvest season.

Lois attended grade school at the two-room Canada schoolhouse about a half-mile from their home. 

Her parents were members of the Strassburg Baptist Church northeast of Canada and it was there that she was baptized in 1944 at the age of eleven. 

Three years later Lois began attending high school in Hillsboro, staying with one of her older sisters at a boarding house during the week.

It was in high school that Lois met her future husband, Loren Groening. 

After graduating in 1951, she was first employed as a bookkeeper for Vogt’s Grocery and then later as a teller at the First National Bank. 

On August 26, 1955 she and Loren were married in the Strassburg Baptist Church.

Lois and Loren moved to Wichita so that Loren could attend Wichita State University while Lois worked at the Boulevard State Bank. After one semester, they decided they preferred small community life and moved back to Hillsboro. Over the next several years their two children, Terri Diane and Kelly David, were born.

Upon returning to Hillsboro, Lois transferred her church membership to the First Mennonite Church. She became active in the church and over the years taught Sunday School and Bible School, sang in the choir, and served on various committees. 

In 1959, Loren and Lois entered into the clothing business and Lois worked as bookkeeper, salesperson, and buyer for Groening Clothiers over the next 29 years.

One of Lois’ passions was music and in 1980 she, LaVonne Calam, and Myrta Bartel formed a singing trio group along with Elaine Jantzen as accompanist. They named their group JOI and gave numerous programs in churches and the community over the next 10 years. She was also active with the Hillsboro Arts &amp; Crafts Fair, serving on several committees.

After retiring from the clothing business in 1988, Lois and Loren shifted gears. They worked at the Snow Mountain YMCA Ranch near Winter Park, Colorado on three separate occasions, with the longest lasting 2 ½ months. They also became part-time tour directors for Prudent Tours, leading 29 tours over a 10-year period.

Lois will be remembered for her devotion to family, as a woman of faith and inner strength, while striving for everyday grace. She touched many lives and will be greatly missed.

Lois was preceded in death by her husband, Loren; her parents, Dave and Emma; brother Walter Weber; and sisters, Francis Kreutziger, Noreen Hein and Arlene Schroeder. 

She is survived by daughter, Terri Groening and Randy Morningstar of Sarasota, FL; and son, Kelly Groening of Hillsboro, KS.

Celebration of Life 11:00 a.m. Wednesday, March 22, 2023 at First Mennonite Church in Hillsboro officiated by Pastor Tom Harder. &nbsp; &nbsp;Family will receive friends from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Tuesday at Jost Funeral Home in Hillsboro. &nbsp;

Beverly Ann Vogts Zerger, 76, passed away Wednesday, March 15, 2023 at Pine Village in Moundridge, Kansas. She was born October 19, 1946, the oldest child of Marion E. and Maurine (Flickner) Vogts. She grew up in Moundridge, spending a lot of time playing outside with her brother Bruce, sister Brenda, and the neighborhood kids. They knew to go home when the 6 o’clock whistle blew across town. Bev attended Moundridge Grade School and graduated from Moundridge High School in 1964. She attended Bethel College, graduating in 1968 with a foreign language major.

In a German class, she met Joe Zerger and they were married on June 1, 1968. Bev was baptized in the First Mennonite Church of Christian and was a life-long member. She taught primary Sunday school for many years and served on various committees. It was during the days of the Vietnam War that both Joe and Bev were accepted into the Teachers Abroad Program with MCC for Alternative Service. After a year of language study in Belgium, they spent two years teaching in secondary school in the heart of Africa in the Belgian Congo. Bev always expressed gratitude for the opportunity to live in Congo and said the experience made her a better person. Returning to the U.S., Bev and Joe lived in Lawrence, Ottawa, Peabody, Moundridge, and then settled on the farm near McPherson. Bev returned to Bethel College to earn an elementary education degree. She was a first grade teacher at Moundridge Elementary School. She felt so honored to be a teacher and spend school days with six and seven-year-old children. The greatest joy for Bev and Joe was the raising of two sons, Todd William and Neil Andrew who brought wonderful daughters-in-law, Krisha Keimig and Ginny Stohs, into the family. In time, seven grandchildren added their energy, playfulness and love. Retirement years were busy ones. Farming activities picked up. Grandchildren came for many visits making memories picking cherries, climbing the tractors and tree house, running with the dogs and staying outside until the first star appeared. Summer get togethers and sleepovers with all seven grandchildren were as much fun for Grandma as the grandchildren. Traveling with wonderful friends to Russia and Mexico were highlights. Survivors include Joe Zerger, her loving husband of 54 years; son Dr. Todd (Krisha), Ava, Garrison, Addy, and Ayla Zerger, Salina, KS; son Dr. Neil (Ginny) Brock, Ashlyn, and Hudson Zerger, Derby, KS; brother Bruce (Jeanne) Vogts, Buhler, KS; sister, Brenda (Dale) Wedel, Newton, KS; brother-in-law Dr. Richard (Donna) Zerger, McPherson, KS; sister-in-law Joanne (David) Janzen, Evanston, IL; sister-in-law Frances (Rolf) Maas, Farmington, PA; aunt Kathryn Vogts, Moundridge, KS; aunt Roselyn Cornell, Pittsburg, KS; aunt, Valeta Smith, Hoquiam, WA; aunt Dema Woten, Blythe, CA; many cousins, nieces and nephews, and friends. Those who preceded her in death are parents Marion and Maurine Vogts; parents-in-law Paul and Esther Zerger; brother-in-law Walter Hochstetler; and nephew Jonathan Hochstetler. Graveside services will be held at 9:45 a.m., Monday, March 20, 2023 at First Mennonite Church Cemetery, rural Moundridge. A memorial service will follow at 11:00 a.m., at the First Mennonite Church of Christian.

Memorial contributions may be made to First Mennonite Church of Christian, Rocky Mountain Mennonite Camp, or Camp Mennoscah in care of Moundridge Funeral Home, P.O. Box 410, Moundridge, KS 67107.
