Ronald LeRoy McCosh, 77, Beverly, KS went home to be with his Lord and Savior January 2, 2023. He was born July 27, 1945, in Abilene, Kansas to LeRoy James and Phyllis Lucille (Kugler) McCosh.

He was their oldest living child. (Phyllis and LeRoy miscarried a baby before Ron’s birth).

Ron spent all his growing up years in Dickinson County. He lived in two different homes. The first was a cement house at the corner of Highway 18 and Jeep Road. His family moved to the second home when he was 4 or 5 years old. It is ½ mile north of Highway 18 on Jeep Road. Ron learned to help with the farm chores at an early age. His mother said he was very creative in his play and thought up things to entertain his younger siblings (like pulling them over the hard wood floors in a cardboard box.)

He attended Chronister grade school and graduated from Chapman High School. In high school he was involved in FFA and became a “Chapter Farmer.”&nbsp;&nbsp; He enjoyed 4-H, having sheep projects and winning demonstrations in cooking. He sold his famous “cinnamon twists” to buy his first motorbike. He was president of the “Harmony Hustlers” 4-H Club and won the model meeting competition.

Ronald was born again into the Family of God in 1958. He continued to have a hunger for God’s Word the rest of his life.

He attended Kansas State University, being employed by the Animal Husbandry department from 1963-1964. He took his Border Collie dog, Pepper, with him to college and they lived in the sheep barns. Ron and Pepper put on exhibition shows at the Kansas State Fair in the Farm Bureau Arena for three years. He had pneumonia and was put in the KSU Student Health Center. While there his folks would talk to him on the two-way radio from Manhattan. After KSU he attended McPherson College, 1964-1965. He worked at George Moor’s dairy farm. While at McPherson he met Lynn Shields.

Ron and Lynn were married Aug. 13, 1965. They started their new life together in Beverly, KS, working for Joe Greene on his farm. He also served in the Army National Guard (SRF-Army Cav Intelligence Unit) from 1966-1972. He attended Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri for his basic training.

He and Lynn had two sons, Joseph Dee (June 7, 1967) and Rodney Lee, (Jan. 21, 1970). During this busy time of their lives, Ron and Lynn worked with the youth and taught Sunday School class.

Lynn became the State Farm Bureau queen and district women’s chairman. Lynn was everyone’s best friend but unfortunately Lynn died of cancer on July 24, 1978.

Ronald married Cynthia Sue (Lund) Becker on March 24, 1979. Ron adopted Cindy’s daughter, Michelle and Cindy adopted Ron’s sons, Joe and Rodney in 1979.

“Little Joe” Joseph Dee died in an airplane crash on September 5, 1992. This was a tragic loss for both Ron and Cindy, but God’s grace carried them through this difficult time.

Ron was still active in farming in Lincoln and Dickinson counties throughout his life. He continued to be a teacher to his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Always repairing, building, or dreaming up some better way to do things. He was a man of his word, and he lived out the Biblical truth that he was taught.

He served many years in the Beverly Community Church as a Deacon. He taught the teen and adults Sunday School class over 40 years. Ron also directed the Live Nativity 11 times in 20 years (1992-2011). He also helped create church and 4-H floats.

Ronald filled the pulpit many times for his own church and other churches in Kansas and in the church they attended in New Zealand. His mother said this was an answer to her prayer that she had prayed for him when she stood over his crib and asked the Lord for her son to live a faithful life, serving the Lord Jesus Christ.

Ronald was incredibly involved in his community, serving on the Farm Bureau Board, president of the County Lamb and Wool Association, the Rural Electric Cooperative Association (1996-2004), KEPCO Board, (Kansas Electric Cooperative Association as a board member from 1998-2004.), CMA (Christian Motorcyclist) serving in three different chapters as Road Captain, Vice-President, and President, and involved in establishing two chapters. He went on mission trips to Guatemala in 2007 and 2008, received the first award given by Dickinson County Conservation for no-till farming in 2003, and he received the Lincoln Co. Banker’s Award the first time it was given to a no-till farmer, 2008.

Ronald was preceded in death by his parents; his first wife Lynn; and six children, Joseph Dee, (Renee, Tracy, Dee, Antoine, and Dawn) all babies who joined the Lord before their earthly birth in early miscarriages.

He is survived by his wife Cynthia, Beverly, KS; son Rodney McCosh (Beverly) Beverly, KS; daughter Michelle Hill (Richard), Pukekohe, New Zealand; eight grandchildren, Nathan McCosh, (Kimberly), Amanda, Joel and Dillon McCosh, Beverly, KS; Joshua, Jarred, Samantha and Austin Hill, Pukekohe, New Zealand; two great-grandchildren, Kassidy and Nalani McCosh, Beverly, KS; brothers Gordon, (Sherryl) Rockwall, TX., Dennis, (Donnette), Abilene, KS; sisters Patricia King, (Gary) Winfield, KS, Nancy Wassenberg, (Roger) Shawnee, KS, Cathy Matlack, (Terry) Leawood, KS; and many nieces and nephews.

Funeral services will be at 3:00 p.m. Saturday, January 7, at the Beverly Community Church. The family will greet friends beginning at 2:00 p.m. Burial with military honors will be in the Beverly Cemetery. 

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Beverly Community Church or the Christian Motorcyclists and may be left in care of Wilson Family Funeral Home, P.O. Box 166, Minneapolis, KS 67467.

Duane C. Nelson

Judy O passed away peacefully on December 24th, 2022, in Durango, Colorado at Mercy Hospice House after a short illness. She was 88 years old, born February 4th,
 1934, in Wichita, Kansas, to Melva (Cheatum) and Sam Gardner. She grew up
 in Midway, Kansas, working in the family’s restaurant, service station 
and rental cabin businesses. At a very young age, Judy was waiting 
tables and running the cash register, filling up cars and washing car 
windows. As a teenager, she also worked the fields and drove a tractor 
on the family farm. She had an incredible work ethic.

Judy married and divorced twice and had four girls with her first 
husband and one son with her second husband. She attended Kansas State 
University, Dodge City Community College, and Fort Hays University and 
held a BSN in nursing and several professional certifications.

Judy was well known as a registered nurse. She worked in Dodge City,&nbsp; Kansas, for many years as Dr. Trekell’s nurse at the Southwest Clinic, 
and at Trinity Hospital and other places in Dodge City. Later, she 
worked mainly in the OB unit at Humana Hospital in Dodge City, helping 
to deliver many babies and care for new mothers and newborns. She moved 
to Durango in the early 1980s, working in various communities in the 
Four Corners area, including Community Hospital in Durango, Southwest 
Memorial Hospital in Cortez, Colorado, and at the Northern Navajo Medical
 Center in Shiprock, New Mexico. While working at the Navajo Indian 
Reservation Hospital in Shiprock, New Mexico, she focused mainly on the 
Maternity Ward, Labor &amp; Delivery, Prenatal Education, and Community 
Diabetes Education for the Navajo People.

After retirement, she volunteered her time with the Manna Soup 
Kitchen in Durango, serving food to the homeless and underprivileged. 
She was an independent outreach volunteer to the homeless and transient 
communities of Durango, and carried food, water, clothing, blankets, and
 other essential supplies in her car to distribute to those in need. 
&nbsp;She was an active volunteer until the age of 87.

Judy O. had a long and full life. She almost always worked two jobs, 
and sometimes three at a time to make ends meet. She loved spending time
 with friends and family, road trips, fishing and playing cards. She was
 a dog lover and always had at least one. She loved her kids fiercely 
and would give a stranger the shirt off her back if needed. She was 
smart, hilarious, irreverent at times, caring, tender, loving, 
forgiving, and sometimes embarrassing (if you've ever heard her sneeze, 
you know what that means). She lived life her way and spoke her mind. 
She was a loyal friend with a big heart and had a huge variety of good 
friends who were like family to her.

In her own words – she wanted her children and everyone she knew to 
know that “I loved all of you and also my many friends from coast to 
coast and abroad, people of all races, ages and religions, I pray that 
you will be kind to each other and be happy, healthy, and safe. Please 
care for each other. My only regret in life is that I did not have the 
ability to spend more time with my family.”

She considered her greatest achievements in life to be her children, and their children.

<a href="https://www.stockhamfamily.com/obituaries/louis-coyle">Louis J. Coyle Obituary 2022 - Stockham Funeral Home (stockhamfamily.com)</a>

Louis &nbsp;Coyle, 84, of Lehigh,&nbsp;Kansas, passed away on Wednesday, December 21, 2022, near York, Nebraska.

Louis was born in St. Joseph, Missouri, on February 8, 1938, to James and Lola Coyle. Louis was the third of four children.

Louis grew up in St. Joseph, Missouri, and joined the United States Air Force in 1957 and served for four years, until 1961.

Louis met Ruth (Amdahl) Coyle in 1981; they expanded and joined their families. They enjoyed raising their children in Loveland, Colorado and later, raising their grandchildren, Caleb and Shian Halsted, in Lindsborg and Lehigh, Kansas.

Louis and Ruth's children are Cynthia Coyle of Canton, Kansas, Jay (Tammy) Halsted of Greeley, Colorado, Mark (Sarah) Coyle of Fort Collins, Colorado, Shawn Halsted of Hildreth, Nebraska, and Adam Halsted of Grand Junction, Colorado. Louis has numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren and nieces and nephews throughout Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Florida, Georgia and beyond.

Louis loved fishing, camping, hunting and being outdoors in general. He enjoyed riding motorcycles and 4-wheeling in the mountains. He enjoyed reminiscing and describing his adventures to anyone that would listen, (“if you don’t believe me, ask me.”) He was a skilled horseman from his teenage years and continued to keep and work with horses until he was nearly forty. He liked to work with his hands and enjoyed making beautiful wood pieces with his scroll saw in his free time. He was a life-long student and believed you could (and should) learn something new every day. He loved studying history and was a Civil War History buff. He was a true Denver Broncos fan (just short of the tattoo), through good and bad, and tried not to hold it against you if you weren’t.

He often told stories about his military service, especially about kicking the screaming chickens out of the plane. He always had a wonderful sense of humor. You weren’t a stranger for very long after meeting Louis, you became friends. He was willing to help anyone out in any way he could. Louis was a wonderful man and even better father.

Louis was an excellent career aviation machinist and worked in the industry for over 40 years, which included Boeing, Beech Aircraft, Continental and Lockheed Martin. He was involved with many interesting projects, including Apollo, space shuttle and Titan missile. Within his careers, he also was a caregiver for multiple disabled adults, was the fire chief for his local volunteer fire department, a crosswalk guard at the neighborhood bus stop, and most recently a mold production worker at Central Plastics, for the past seven years. He continued to work up to his last day and wouldn’t have had it any other way.

Louis is preceded in death by his brothers Robert and Richard and sister Anne, half-siblings Billy, Milton and Mildred, wife Ruth, daughter-in-law Michelle Halsted and grandson Peyton Halsted.

Funeral services will be held at Stockham Family Funeral Home, 205 N. Chestnut, McPherson, Kansas, on Friday, January 6, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. A reception will follow at the McPherson Community Center. &nbsp;

<a href="https://www.yazelmeglifh.com/obituaries/richard-wright">Richard Clayton Wright Obituary 2022 - Yazel Megli Funeral Home and Sawyer Chapel (yazelmeglifh.com)</a>

<a href="https://www.yazelmeglifh.com/obituaries/richard-wright"></a>May 15, 193 - December 30, 2-22

Richard Clayton Wright (Dick) was born May 15, 1933, the third of nine children to Mildred (King) Wright and Willard C. Wright.&nbsp; He was raised as a farm boy in Iowa and eastern Colorado and loved to tell stories of his childhood on the farm.&nbsp;

Richard recalled his parents, as new Christians, being intentional about their children knowing and loving God.&nbsp; As a 4-year-old, his mother taught him a prayer to say at bedtime, "Come into my heart, Lord Jesus, there is room in my heart for thee."&nbsp; One night, he told God, “If that's what you want, then that's what I want."&nbsp; Richard recognized his awareness of right and wrong beginning at that point.

Early in his teen years he found opportunities to teach Bible school and Sunday school and be involved in Bible camp.&nbsp; He told the story of cutting logs for his grandfather on shares.&nbsp; When his grandfather asked what he was going to do with his share, he said, "donate them to the Bible camp."&nbsp; Grandpa affirmed that choice by donating some of his logs as well.&nbsp;

After graduating from high school, Richard attended Midwest Bible and Missionary Institute to deepen his knowledge of the Bible and prepare for Christian service.&nbsp; There he met his wife, "the perfect partner for ministry"--as he would say in later life. Though he served as a "pulpit fill" for several churches in college, family life then brought them home to the farm.&nbsp; Yet, God was still working.&nbsp; While delivering a Bible study one Wednesday evening at church, he became convicted that God wanted him in the ministry.&nbsp; He told those present that if they would pray for God's provision, he would go back to Bible college and into the ministry.&nbsp; Within a week, his home and holdings were sold, and he had been admitted to college.&nbsp; So, God affirmed the direction of his life.

Though Richard had many and varied income generating positions over the years including construction work, his calling was to the pastorate.&nbsp; Richard pastored 34 years in seven churches, wherever a need arose.&nbsp; Additionally, he served Christian organizations as a financial development officer and initiated a Christian school in his later years. He loved building ministry programs as well as homes.&nbsp;

Richard, at the age of 89 years, died peacefully on December 30, 2022, in Whitewater, KS; having taken joy in knowing that his children and grandchildren were living and serving the Savior.&nbsp; He lived by the verse, “Whatever you do, do it heartily as unto the Lord."&nbsp; (Col 3:23)

He is preceded in death by Donna, his wife of 67 years; his parents, and three siblings, Donald Wright, Rosalee McKimpson, and Virgil Wright.&nbsp; 

He is survived by five siblings: Jim Wright, Dorothy Nelson, Bonnie (Jim) Freese, Margorie Cording, Paul (Garnet) Wright; as well as five children, Paul (Beth) Wright of Mendoza, Argentina, Cherry (Elwyn) Stucky of Whitewater, KS, Sandra (David) Smith of Palmer Lake, CO, Rochelle (Dale) Friesen of Walton, KS, Richard (Jamie) Wright of Derby, KS;&nbsp; nine grandchildren, Keren, Jonathan (Amber), Lisa (Jorge), Benjamin (Rachel), Josiah, Matthew, Mark, Jordan (Abigail) and Sara; and five great-grandchildren, Brooke, Caleb, Gideon, Zoe, and Isaac.&nbsp;

Family will gather to greet friends on Friday, January 6, 2023, from 2:30-3:30 p.m. at Centre Point Church, Whitewater, KS. Graveside service will be held 4:00 p.m. Friday, January 6, 2023, at the Whitewater Cemetery. Following the graveside service, family and friends will gather back at Centre Point Church, for a meal and memories. 

Lamb Funeral Home, Whitewater, is serving the family.&nbsp; 

Memorial contributions in Richard’s name may be directed to Wheatstate Manor, Whitewater, KS; Bible Institute of Mendoza, Argentina (Avant Ministries); or Mission Training International: Catalytic Gatherings, Palmer Lake, CO in care of Lamb Funeral Home.&nbsp;
