Mothers are one of God’s blessings in our lives. Mothers teach us to have confidence and believe in ourselves. They love us with all their heart and soul. Mothers know from experience how important it was for her people to believe in themselves in order for her children to be whole, strong, and grow in healthy relationships. She lived with faith and courage. She was an inspiration and blessing to us all.

Cynthia Marie May, the second child of Louis and Marie Brummer, was born on September 15, 1930. She passed to her heavenly home on Wednesday, February 22, 2023 at the Resident Care Center at the Mitchell County Hospital in Beloit, Kansas.

Cynthia attended St. Boniface Grade and High School. Following graduation, she taught at Holy Corner School for a number of years.

On October 21, 1953, Cynthia was wedded to Arthur May at the K of C Hall, Tipton’s temporary Catholic Church. They worked together hand in hand and enjoyed a happy wedded life. They were blessed with six children to complete their lives. Art and Cynthia were privileged to celebrate their 50th&nbsp;wedding anniversary with family and friends. One day after their 56th&nbsp;anniversary, Cynthia lost her devoted husband and soulmate.

Our mother wasn’t a strong woman, but a woman of strength kneeling in prayer to keep her soul in shape and her family and soul safe. She knelt in prayer as each storm passed, for each family member in war and at home and for her community. Although we can’t hear her voice or see her smile, she walks and kneels beside us daily.

Our mother was a woman of strength, showing courage in the midst of her fears. Never will I forget how she led the rosary at Cyrena’s bedside, never wavering after Grandpa Brummer laid his hand on her shoulder, or caressing my hand after my first brain surgery, or being at dad’s side after his accident until God took him home. Mom listened to us. She wiped away our tears and wrapped her arms around us, understanding how scared we were.

Mom never let anyone get the best of her, but was a woman of strength, giving her best to everyone. She gave us the virtues of giving of one’s self, enjoying simplicity, determination, happiness, love of family, and our faith in God and his blessed mother.

&nbsp;Mom made mistakes in her life but always realized them as one of God’s blessings and grew with each one.

Mom wasn’t always sure-footed. She had Dad by her side and always knew that God was walking with her and would catch her if she fell. Mom found strength in her rosary and her devotion to the Miraculous Medal. One bead, one decade at a time. Mom’s faith kept her strong while the world around her was in turmoil.

A strong woman wears the look of confidence on her face, but a woman of strength wears grace and pride. Mom was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Her faith and family were the center of her life. Her unfailing support and tender care carried many family members through trials and difficult times. No, we can’t see her with our human eyes, but she will always answer us when we talk to her.

A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey, but a woman of strength has faith that in the journey she will become strong. Mom was very independent, or should we say determined? She was devoted to fulfilling her family needs. She offered comfort when needed, was liberal with praise, yet firm and uncompromising in her guidance and discipline.

Mom suffered a stroke in 2016 in Colorado, leaving her left side paralyzed. Heaven was not ready for Mom yet, so she moved to Beloit to be closer to family. She enjoyed visits from her children, grandchildren, and siblings, while all along never doubting God’s love and plan for her.

Left to cherish her memory is son Curtis and wife Christine; five daughters, Carmel and husband Steve Dlabal, Crystal and husband Jim Maguire, Cheri and husband Meredith Marrs, Cyrena and husband Steve Criswell, and Cyrilla and husband Todd Fahlsing. Also surviving are 19 grandchildren and 27 great-grandchildren, as well as two sisters, Sylvia Budke and Michelle Murrow, and three brothers, Victor, Harry, and Kenneth Brummer.

Cynthia was preceded in death by her husband Arthur; son-in-law Jeff Dunn; her parents Marie and Louis Brummer; a sister, Twyla Remus; and brothers Charles and Melvin Brummer.

Mom, when you closed your eyes and soared to Heaven, we could hear the faint flutter of your wings as you left and felt your love in our hearts and souls. Thank you for all your understanding, love, and support you have given us. Thank you for teaching us the true meaning of family. We love you, you will be forever in our hearts.

Funeral services will be at 10 a.m. Saturday, February 25 at the St. Boniface Catholic Church in Tipton. A rosary service will be at 7 p.m. Friday, and visitation will be from 5 p.m. until the rosary service begins at the church. 

Memorials may be given to the St. Boniface Memorial Trust Fund or Tipton Schools.

William J. Sherbert, owner and proprietor of SherBowl Lanes and Willy J's 9th&nbsp;Lane passed away February 19, 2023. Bill was born on January 25, 1939, in Broughton, Kansas. 

He was the oldest son of Bert and Opal (Bisnett) Sherbert. 

Bill spent his youth in Wakefield, KS graduating with the class of 1957 from Wakefield Rural High School.

Early on as a young boy and man, Bill enjoyed hunting and fishing. 

He was united in marriage to LaDonna Hess on May 31, 1959, in Wakefield and the couple were blessed with two children, Donna and Daniel. 

The family moved to Marion in 1964 from Council Grove when Bill was working as a dynamite man for Riddle Construction, later Hallet Construction. He and his crew produced the rock for the construction of Council Grove and Marion Reservoir Dams during that time. At the time of his retirement in 1987, Bill was superintendent of five quarries.

He and LaDonna built their home in 1978, where Bill owned and operated a saw-blade sharpening business, B &amp; L Sharpening. Later, he and his business partner Alan Richmond, formed and operated B &amp; A Game Bird Farm. Bill also worked part-time for Marion Manufacturing from 1990 to 2004. Throughout the years Bill also enjoyed gardening, often growing more than the family could handle. In the summer of 2001, Bill became a founding member of the Marion Chapter of Quail Unlimited, which later switched to Quail Forever in 2005. He stayed on the board for many years and helped to organize their events. 

When the opportunity arose in 2003, Bill and LaDonna purchased Mar-Bowl Lanes and later renamed it SherBowl Lanes. Five years later, Willy J’s 9th Lane Sports Bar was built and Bill enjoyed many evenings meeting people and making new friends. Bill encouraged young bowlers by helping develop youth league and teaching them fundamentals of bowling.&nbsp;

Bill and LaDonna moved to Homestead Apartments in 2017.&nbsp; Two and a half years after LaDonna's passing in 2020, Bill moved to Marion Assisted Living, where in dealing with health issues, he passed away peacefully surrounded by family.

His greatest joy was his family which includes his children Donna (Randy) Bryant of Marion, and Daniel Sherbert of Marion; grandchildren Dustin (Summer) Sherbert, Jayden Hallowell, Ryan (Leigh) Funk, Jason (Tiffany) Funk, and Joshua (Dawnell) Funk; and nine great-grandchildren.

&nbsp;Bill is preceded in death by his wife of 61 years, LaDonna, granddaughter Lyndsay Rae Sherbert, his parents, and brothers, Maynard and Jack Sherbert. 

Friends may pay their respects at Yazel Megli Funeral Home, Marion from 2-7 p.m., family 5-7 on Friday, February 24th. Graveside services will be held on Saturday, February 25th at 11 a.m. in the Marion Cemetery.

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;

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.

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

Memorial contributions may be made to the Clay Center United Methodist Church or Clay County Relay for Life.
