Wayne Alan Kee, of Stockton, KS, passed away on February 4, 2023, at 
Alliance Health in Woodward, OK, at the age of 69. He was born on 
January 6, 1954, to James Warren and Willie Ruth (Wineinger) Kee in 
Beloit, KS. He was married to Michele Lee McComb on August 19, 1972, in 
Stockton, KS. They were blessed with four children: Brandi, Brian, 
Brianne, and Brooke.

Wayne grew up on the family farms 
south of Alton and south of Woodston were he loved to be. He graduated 
from Stockton High School in 1972. He worked as a truck driver for Home 
Oil and Prickett &amp; Sons; and was self-employed on the farm.

Wayne
 enjoyed fishing and traveling wherever the road led, always wanting to 
see what was over the next hill. He enjoyed listening to Robert Earl 
Keen, watching Westerns, Andy Griffith, and his favorite YouTubers, and 
attending Triple-A Baseball games along the way as he traveled. Of 
course, one of his most favorite things was spending time with his 
grandkids and making plans with family and friends.

Wayne
 was a good-hearted man with a loving nature and never knew a stranger. 
He worked hard, enjoyed life, and cherished his family and friends. They
 were blessed by the years they had with him. We know that those we 
enjoyed and loved, we can never lose, for all that we love deeply 
becomes a part of us. We can smile because he lived and left us with 
cherished memories that will live forever in our hearts. He will be 
remembered in love.

Wayne is survived by his wife,

Martha L. Hershberger, 95, of Hesston, Kansas, passed away Friday, January 13, 2023 at Schowalter Villa.

Martha Lucille Buckwalter Hershberger was born February 27, 1927 in Newton, Kansas to Earl and Florida Rose (Shank) Buckwalter. 

She married Howard Hershberger on August 15, 1948 at the Pennsylvania Mennonite Church in rural Hesston, Kansas. 

She was an accomplished homemaker and the mother of six children (including her first-born, Gwendolyn, a daughter who died in infancy). One of her avocations was as a church musician. She led children’s and adult choirs throughout her lifetime and arranged music for the choirs and musical ensembles she sang in and directed. One of her arrangements was published in the 1992 Mennonite Hymnal. She also was the alto soloist for various community performances of Handel’s “Messiah.” At the end of her life, when it was difficult for her to speak, she could still sing along to hymns in a clear, alto voice. Martha had an artistic nature, and always saw beauty around her. Once her children left home she turned to quilting as an artistic outlet, gifting her grandchildren with beautiful, original quilts and also donating numerous wall hangings and quilted works of art to Whitestone Mennonite Church, Pleasant Valley Mennonite Church, Hesston College, Schowalter Villa and Mennonite Mission Network. She also wrote poetry throughout her lifetime. Martha died peacefully in her sleep on January 13, 2023.

She is survived by her children John Hershberger of Windom, KS; Dan (Marla) Hershberger of Great Falls, MT; Philip (Diana) Hershberger of Topeka, KS; Faith (Tim) Penner of Harper, KS; and Beth (Mark) Goertz of Great Falls, MT; 10 grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren; a sister and brother-in-law Esther (Ron) Graber of Goshen, IN; and two sisters-in-law, Grace Hershberger and Lois Buckwalter; of Goshen, IN. 

She was preceded in death by her parents, one daughter, one daughter-in-law, Chris Petrocci Hershberger; two brothers; two sisters; five brothers-in-law and three sisters-in-law. A memorial service will be held at Whitestone Mennonite Church on Saturday, February 11, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. Memorial contributions may be made to Whitestone Mennonite Church at 629 Crescent Drive, Hesston, KS. 67062.

<a href="https://www.mcdonaldrobertsfuneralservice.com/obituary/charlene-plymire">https://www.mcdonaldrobertsfuneralservice.com/obituary/charlene-plymire</a>

Charlene Johanna (Kresin) Plymire was born at the Mitchell Country Hospital in Beloit, KS on July 20, 1938, to Ralph, Sr. and Beulah (Fisher) Kresin.&nbsp; She passed peacefully at the age of 84 surrounded by family February 3, 2023, in the hospital which she was born.

Charlene grew up on a farm south of Glen Elder, KS.&nbsp; She began school early at the age of four, when her older brother refused to go without her.&nbsp; She attended 1st&nbsp;thru 8th&nbsp;grade at a one-room school located 1 ½ miles from the farm which many times she would walk home&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; She shared the classroom with 12 other students from all grades, taught together by the same teacher.&nbsp; All Christmas programs, track meets, and baseball games were against other one-room schools from the surrounding area.

Life on the farm remained busy requiring her to help raise chickens, pigs and cattle.&nbsp; Charlene had many other chores like gathering eggs, milking cows, feeding pigs, pulling weeds, gardening, digging potatoes, and canning vegetables.&nbsp; They did not have indoor plumbing until she started high school.&nbsp; This required her to use an out-house and gather water from a cistern, which she had to use a hand crank to pump the water.&nbsp; They had to heat the water they used to clean dishes, laundry and take baths. Charlene learned to sew at an early age, in which she became quite talented, and entered many outfits at the county fair.&nbsp; She also participated in 4-H where she also cooked and sewed.

She graduated from Beloit High School in 1955 with her older brother Ralph, Jr. Her first job was at the ASCS farm office, where she made enough money that allowed her along with the help of Ralph, Jr. to purchase their parents’ first TV in 1955.

On October 5, 1958, Charlene married Larry Plymire at the Zion Lutheran Church in Beloit where they became lifelong members.&nbsp; To this union was born the “Fab 5.”&nbsp; She continued working at the ASCS office until her first daughter Pamela was born in 1959.&nbsp; She continued to sew and became an accomplished seamstress which allowed her to use her skills to earn extra income for the family&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The family was most often found in clothes which were made from her loving hands.&nbsp; She really enjoyed making matching outfits, which has been well documented in family photos.&nbsp; 

Once she was blessed with grandchildren, she often continued this tradition.&nbsp; Many area residents were also able to remember her talents as they wore the many prom dresses, cheerleading outfits, bridesmaids and wedding dresses, men’s suits and shirts.&nbsp; None of the projects brought her as much joy as she gained from making her four daughters’ wedding and bridesmaids dresses.&nbsp; Charlene inherited the love of quilting from her mother, and each of her children and grandchildren were the beneficiaries of this love by receiving quilts from her.&nbsp; The grandchildren were especially fond of their personalized “bear” quilt. 

She started an in-home daycare which she continued for 27 years.&nbsp; 

Larry and Charlene took dance lessons with their cousins and enjoyed attending dances in the community, where they often became the talk of the dance.&nbsp; They loved traveling with the Elks Club when their kids were older, and continued later in life&nbsp; watching&nbsp; and supporting their grandkids’ activities.&nbsp; She cooked and delivered many harvest meals which she later continued this service by delivering Meals on Wheels.

Charlene leaves a legacy of love that includes her husband Larry of 64 years, Pamela Adams (Gary) Hutchinson; Cheryl Hanika (Scott) Wichita, Kathleen Williams (Todd) Topeka, Jeff Plymire Plano, TX, Arlene Evans (Kevin) Topeka; grandchildren, Jacob Hanika (Heather), Jordan Hanika (Jackye),&nbsp; Jarin Hanika, Aubrey Moser (Jon), Peyton Kennedy (Josh), Drake Evans, Parker Williams and Kylen Renteria (Plymire); three great-grandchildren, Konner Adams, Nora Moser and Finley Hanika; three siblings, Ralph Kresin, Jr., Roger Kresin and Pauline Filbert;&nbsp; as well as many nieces and nephews, cousins, friends and the many babysitting kids she considered her own.

She is preceded in death by her parents Ralph, Sr. and Beulah Kresin, an infant sister Joan, her brothers Keith and Robert Kresin, sisters-in-law Linda and Lila (Bunny) Kresin, and an infant grandson.

Memorial services will be held on Saturday, February 11 at 10:30 a.m. at the Zion Lutheran Church in Beloit. Visitation will be at Roberts Family Funeral Home on Friday from 5-7 p.m. with family present.

Memorials may be given to the Mitchell County Regional Medical Foundation or Zion Lutheran Church.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Charlene learned to sew at an early age, in which she became quite talented, and entered many outfits at the county fair.&nbsp; She also participated in 4-H where she also cooked and sewed.She graduated from Beloit High School in 1955 with her older brother Ralph, Jr. Her first job was at the ASCS farm office, where she made enough money that allowed her along with the help of Ralph, Jr. to purchase their parents’ first TV in 1955.On October 5, 1958, Charlene married Larry Plymire at the Zion Lutheran Church in Beloit where they became lifelong members.&nbsp; To this union was born the “Fab 5.”&nbsp; She continued working at the ASCS office until her first daughter Pamela was born in 1959.&nbsp; She continued to sew and became an accomplished seamstress which allowed her to use her skills to earn extra income for the family&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The family was most often found in clothes which were made from her loving hands.&nbsp; She really enjoyed making matching outfits, which has been well documented in family photos.&nbsp; Once she was blessed with grandchildren, she often continued this tradition.&nbsp; Many area residents were also able to remember her talents as they wore the many prom dresses, cheerleading outfits, bridesmaids and wedding dresses, men’s suits and shirts.&nbsp; None of the projects brought her as much joy as she gained from making her four daughters’ wedding and bridesmaids dresses.&nbsp; Charlene inherited the love of quilting from her mother, and each of her children and grandchildren were the beneficiaries of this love by receiving quilts from her.&nbsp; The grandchildren were especially fond of their personalized “bear” quilt. She started an in-home daycare which she continued for 27 years.&nbsp; Larry and Charlene took dance lessons with their cousins and enjoyed attending dances in the community, where they often became the talk of the dance.&nbsp; They loved traveling with the Elks Club when their kids were older, and continued later in life&nbsp; watching&nbsp; and supporting their grandkids’ activities.&nbsp; She cooked and delivered many harvest meals which she later continued this service by delivering Meals on Wheels.Charlene leaves a legacy of love that includes her husband Larry of 64 years, Pamela Adams (Gary) Hutchinson; Cheryl Hanika (Scott) Wichita, Kathleen Williams (Todd) Topeka, Jeff Plymire Plano, TX, Arlene Evans (Kevin) Topeka; grandchildren, Jacob Hanika (Heather), Jordan Hanika (Jackye),&nbsp; Jarin Hanika, Aubrey Moser (Jon), Peyton Kennedy (Josh), Drake Evans, Parker Williams and Kylen Renteria (Plymire); three great-grandchildren, Konner Adams, Nora Moser and Finley Hanika; three siblings, Ralph Kresin, Jr., Roger Kresin and Pauline Filbert;&nbsp; as well as many nieces and nephews, cousins, friends and the many babysitting kids she considered her own.She is preceded in death by her parents Ralph, Sr. and Beulah Kresin, an infant sister Joan, her brothers Keith and Robert Kresin, sisters-in-law Linda and Lila (Bunny) Kresin, and an infant grandson.Memorial services will be held on Saturday, February 11 at 10:30 a.m. at the Zion Lutheran Church in Beloit.

Ronald W. Quillin was born August 18, 1940, in Osborne, Kansas, the first of three children to Wayne and Marie Quillin.&nbsp; He died February 3, 2023, at Mitchell County Health Care Systems in Beloit, Kansas at the age of 82 after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease.&nbsp;

Ron graduated from Osborne High School, first attending Ft. Hays State and then Kansas State University.&nbsp; 

It was in Manhattan where he met his future wife, Consuelo (Connie) Saenz.&nbsp; They were married in 1966 with there being some good-natured disagreement as to whether that occurred in El Paso, Texas, on January 18th&nbsp;as told by Ron or Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, in the bride’s family church on January 23rd&nbsp;as preferred by Connie.&nbsp; None-the-less, they celebrated 57 years together and to that union were born two daughters, Marie and Jo Ann.&nbsp;

Ron ultimately earned a bachelor of science degree from Rockhurst University in Kansas City where he worked several years as an insurance adjuster.&nbsp; 

The young family moved to Beloit in the early 1970s where Ron managed Peoples Lumber Yard in Beloit and later operated his own small business, “Mitre Box.”&nbsp; &nbsp;Known widely as a skilled woodworker, Ron not only built customized cabinetry but also shared his knowledge and love for the craft by teaching evening courses in the 1980s at NCK Technical College.&nbsp; 

Community-minded, Ron was active in Beloit Rotary and never shy about volunteering his services when repairs were needed at St. John’s Catholic Church.&nbsp;&nbsp; He further enjoyed morning coffee, playing golf, and going fishing with his friends.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Ron is survived by his wife Connie of Beloit; daughters Marie (Al) Duhon of Lyons, and Jo Ann (Craig) Tomson of Wichita; grandsons Trent Jackson of Salina and Zayden Tomson of Wichita; and sisters Connie (John) Cyr of Beloit, and Dawna Quillin of Idaho Springs, Colorado.&nbsp;

Ron was preceded in death by his parents, Wayne and Alma Marie (Saunders) Quillin.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Cremation has taken place and a memorial service will be held at a later date. 

Memorials may be given to the Beloit Rotary Club or the St. John's Restoration Project.

June 10, 1948 ~ February 4, 2023 (age 74)

Henry "Hank" Ashton&nbsp;was born on June 10, 1948, in Salina, Kansas, where he lived all his life before passing away February 4, 2023. &nbsp;

Hank is survived by his son, Shane Ashton (Stephanie) of Albuquerque, NM, and his daughter Kim Ashton ( Reace Williams) of Bradenton, Florida.&nbsp; He is also survived by his 16-year-old four-legged, furry kid, Edi, who brought Hank much joy after his wife of 38 years, Linda Ashton, passed. In fact, we are all pretty sure Linda adopted Edi so that Hank would have a little companion after her death.&nbsp;&nbsp; Hank is also survived by his sisters Patricia Painter and Phyllis Harper.

Hank worked for the Salina Coffee House (later renamed Sunflower Restaurant Supply) for almost 40 years before retiring in 2011, and he later worked part time for the city of Salina.&nbsp; 

Hank loved all things outside and sports-related, and he especially loved riding his bicycle all over Salina.&nbsp; Hank was a coach to multiple young boys’ and girls’ baseball, softball and basketball teams and enjoyed helping inspire young athletes to achieve success.&nbsp; Hank also enjoyed sitting on his front porch “assuming the position” in his favorite chair watching the happenings on his old street “Winn Road,” where he was best known for kidding with neighbors who were also some of his dearest friends.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be at 10 a.m., Thursday February 9th at Sacred Heart Cathedral, Salina. Burial will be in Roselawn Memorial Park, Salina.
