Mary Ellen Gehring was born June 14, 1929 to Fred J.C. Gehring and Helen (Wedel)Gehring, beginning her life on a farm near McPherson.

&nbsp;The family later moved and eventually settled in the Summit community northwest of Burns. Mary attended and graduated from Burns High School, where she met and fell for her future husband.

&nbsp;Although family consumed her days Mary’s first and greatest love was always her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She served alongside so many family and friends in years of Kingdom work through First Mennonite Church of Burns.

Mary leaves a legacy of her three sons, Greg (Zeola) Langenegger of Newton, Gary Langenegger of Newton, Glenn (Daytha) Langenegger of Burns; six grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren, and 11 great-great-grandchildren.

Her brother Jim Gehring resides in Moundridge.

Nancy Ruth Rucker was born on November 8, 1937 in Cincinnati, Ohio to Kenneth and Hazel (Burns) Rucker. 

Her childhood was spent in Fort Mitchell, KY where she received an excellent education at Villa Madonna Academy and Beechwood High School. After the birth of her brother, Kenneth Walter, and death of her mother, the family moved to Indiana where Nancy graduated from Jeffersonville High School at the age of 16. Nancy attended Indiana University and graduated from Kentucky Baptist Hospital School of Nursing in Louisville in 1958.

Nancy worked as a pediatric nurse at Louisville Children’s Hospital for 7 years, and as a bedside nurse at hospitals in North Carolina, Colorado, and Kansas for the entirety of her career. After moving to Abilene in 1974, Nancy went to work as a nurse at Abilene Memorial Hospital where she remained until her retirement in 2010.

It was at Indiana University that she met her husband, Frederick Wingfield Schmidt, of Junction City, Kansas. They were married on December 30, 1965. Children Paul and Margaret were born in Colorado where Fred was teaching music at Fort Lewis College, Durango. They then returned to Kansas in 1969 to be close to family and where their daughter Katey was later born. Fred and Nancy made their home in rural Abilene where Nancy lived for 48 years until the time of her death.

Nancy deeply appreciated books, poetry, plants, animals, music, a good bakery, and beautiful things of every sort. Each day, she took great pleasure in looking at her flowers, books, and all the interesting objects that she and Fred had accumulated throughout their lives. Many a visitor to the Schmidt home believed there were fairies living in Nancy’s garden where she had cultivated a verdant landscape reminiscent of her childhood in Kentucky and Tennessee. 

Nancy was a serious thinker and loved reading and talking about the subjects of philosophy, psychology, and theology. A devoted mother, she was always interested in what her family was doing and maybe even more so in what they were thinking. Her childhood friendships and those she made in Kansas endured throughout her life. It was common for those who knew her to seek her thoughtful counsel and it is perhaps in this way that she will be most missed.

Nancy was preceded in death by her parents, brother, husband, and many friends. She is survived by her sister-in-law Anne Schmidt, children Paul Schmidt (Julie), Margaret Trow (Ron), Katey Naylor (Erik), and grandchildren Nell, William, and Alek.

A private memorial service will be held at a later date. 

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that donations be made to The Land Institute of Salina, KS that works to develop and promote natural systems and perennial agriculture or to The Rebecca A. Morrison House that provides guest residence to those with family in care at Salina Regional Health Center. Donations may be sent in care of Martin-Becker-Carlson Funeral Home, 414 NW 3rd Street, Abilene, KS, 67410.&nbsp;&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.wigginsfuneralhomes.com/obituaries/Lavera-Lane/#!/TributeWall">LaVera L. Lane Obituary - Visitation &amp; Funeral Information (wigginsfuneralhomes.com)</a>

LaVera L. Lane, age 102, died on December 21, 2022. She was born on July 28, 1920 in Stover, Missouri, the twin daughter of Gavert Brunjes and Emma Brunjes. 

On August 2, 1942, she married Jay C. Lane. They moved to McPherson in 1946. Two daughters were born to this union, Madeline Diane and Vicki Ja. She was an inspiration to many. In 1963, LaVera was walking on the sidewalk in downtown McPherson when she was hit by a car. She spent 9 months in the hospital. With hard work, determination, and a positive attitude, she learned to walk again. LaVera was an avid sports fan. She was often saying, “How about those Chiefs?” and “How about those Royals?” There were several years when she watched or listened to every Royals game of the season. She surprised many people with her knowledge of the players and their statistics. She had many interests. One of her hobbies was reading the newspaper. At one time, she received five different papers and would read each one from cover to cover. She enjoyed playing cards with family and friends. If she had a spare moment, she would want to “play a quick hand.” She was a great cook and had a talent for making an average meal taste like a gourmet feast. She was the happiest when surrounded by her family. The welfare of her family always came first. She will be missed. She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church, a life member of the American Legion Auxiliary, and a life member of the McPherson Hospital Auxiliary. Survivors include daughter Madeline and husband Robert Stawnicz, and daughter Vicki and husband Mark Johnson. Survivors also include grandsons Mathew Sumner and Ryan Sumner and granddaughter Taylon Bush, as well as great-granddaughter Hailey Jay Sumner, and great-grandsons Lane Sumner and Miles Bush, and nieces Susan Shaffer, Patty Jameson and Linda Kays. She was preceded in death by her husband Jay, her grandson Britton Johnson, her sisters Valera Schuman and Ardella Kays, and her brother Norman Brunjes. A celebration of her life will be held on January 14, 2023 at 3:00 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church in McPherson. A private burial will be at the McPherson Cemetery prior to the celebration of life. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to the First Presbyterian Church, 1400 N. Main, McPherson, Kansas 67460, or Gentiva Hospice, 900 E. First Street, Suite W1, McPherson, Kansas 67460.

Lane Obituary - Visitation &amp; Funeral Information (wigginsfuneralhomes.com)</a>July 28, 1920 - December 21, 2022LaVera L. Lane, age 102, died on December 21, 2022. She was born on July 28, 1920 in Stover, Missouri, the twin daughter of Gavert Brunjes and Emma Brunjes. On August 2, 1942, she married Jay C. Lane. They moved to McPherson in 1946. Two daughters were born to this union, Madeline Diane and Vicki Ja. She was an inspiration to many. In 1963, LaVera was walking on the sidewalk in downtown McPherson when she was hit by a car. She spent 9 months in the hospital. With hard work, determination, and a positive attitude, she learned to walk again. LaVera was an avid sports fan. She was often saying, “How about those Chiefs?” and “How about those Royals?” There were several years when she watched or listened to every Royals game of the season. She surprised many people with her knowledge of the players and their statistics. She had many interests. One of her hobbies was reading the newspaper. At one time, she received five different papers and would read each one from cover to cover. She enjoyed playing cards with family and friends. If she had a spare moment, she would want to “play a quick hand.” She was a great cook and had a talent for making an average meal taste like a gourmet feast. She was the happiest when surrounded by her family. The welfare of her family always came first. She will be missed. She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church, a life member of the American Legion Auxiliary, and a life member of the McPherson Hospital Auxiliary. Survivors include daughter Madeline and husband Robert Stawnicz, and daughter Vicki and husband Mark Johnson. Survivors also include grandsons Mathew Sumner and Ryan Sumner and granddaughter Taylon Bush, as well as great-granddaughter Hailey Jay Sumner, and great-grandsons Lane Sumner and Miles Bush, and nieces Susan Shaffer, Patty Jameson and Linda Kays. She was preceded in death by her husband Jay, her grandson Britton Johnson, her sisters Valera Schuman and Ardella Kays, and her brother Norman Brunjes. A celebration of her life will be held on January 14, 2023 at 3:00 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church in McPherson.
