<a href="https://www.jostfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Dwayne-Claassen?obId=26380019#/obituaryInfo">Dwayne Claassen Obituary - Visitation &amp; Funeral Information (jostfuneralhome.com)</a>

Dwayne was born on August 22, 1943, and in a few days, adopted by his beloved parents, Herbert and Anna Claassen, in Hillsboro. 

He grew up on the farm one-and-a-half miles from the Ebenfeld Mennonite Brethren Church and schoolhouse, attending that schoolhouse through the eighth grade. He then went to Hillsboro High School and two years at Tabor College. Literature was his favorite college class.

As a child, one day as he and his dad drove in the garage, he told his dad that he wanted to be saved, so there with his dad he gave his life to Christ. He was baptized at the age of twelve.

Among activities that Dwayne enjoyed were water skiing, working on race car number 87 at 81 Speedway, flying his private airplanes, and driving semi-truck coast to coast. Most recently, in the mornings he enjoyed having coffee with friends at Wendy's. In the afternoons, he loved driving around the country checking fields and crops.

Dwayne married Diane Janzen in 1966. Together they had three children—Larry Royce in 1970, Russell Dwayne in 1972 and Lori Ann in 1975. A joy in his life was seeing Lori marry Robert Quicke who together gave him two grandchildren, Elliot Michael and Sophie Grace, and seeing Russ marry Chandelle Boger who together gave him two grandsons, Samuel Dwayne and Dellen Russell.

A major event in his life was meeting his birth mother when he was fifty years old, and spending time with her monthly during the last seven years of her life.

The prelude today was by one of Dwayne's favorite singers, Jimmy Fortune. Permission to use his album was requested and received. He also seldom missed the Saturday evening Gaither program on TV. The Statler Brothers were also a favorite. He listened to a daily end-times hour on his computer.

He was predeceased by his infant son, Larry Royce, his parents Herb and Anna, a sister-in-law Mary Lou Nickel, and a brother-in-law Roger Janzen.

Dwayne will be missed by his family and friends. The family thanks you for being here today.

<a href="https://www.nsrfh.com/obituary/betty-coupal">Obituary | Betty Coupal of Miltonvale, Kansas | Neill-Schwensen-Rook Funeral Home (nsrfh.com)</a>

Betty Lorraine Carver was born May 22, 1923, in Minneapolis, KS.&nbsp; She was the youngest daughter of Ethel Mae (Bishop) Carver and Levi Bert Carver.&nbsp; Betty passed away November 13, 2022 in her home at the age of 99 years, 6 months.

Betty Carver of Clyde, KS was married to Warren Coupal of Miltonvale on May 16, 1945, at the Clay Center United Methodist Church.

She graduated from Clyde High School in 1943, received her Normal Training, and then received her teaching certificate.&nbsp; She taught the next two years before getting married.

To this union was born three children, Shirley Coupal, Roeland Park, KS; Virginia Coupal-Smith, Roeland Park, KS; and Douglas and wife Michelle (Carlson) Coupal, Clay Center, KS. &nbsp;She was a great mom and participated in all of her children’s activities. 

They built their home on the family farm, a Century farm in western Clay County. Betty was a homemaker and loved to be involved with the farming operation.

She was a member of the Clyde United Methodist Church and their UMW organization, Homemakers Extension Unit, Clay County 4-H, and served on the Browndale School Board.&nbsp; Betty was also a member of the Nathan Edson Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution, Clay Center, KS. She served as Chapter Regent and State Chairman of Conservation for the Kansas Society, as well as a member of the Daughters of the American Colonists. She was also eligible to belong to the Mayflower Society.

Betty was preceded in death by her husband Warren, parents Ethel and Levi Carver, three brothers and one sister.

Survivors include her three children as well as four grandchildren: Jessica (Smith) and husband Jeff Young,&nbsp; Lenexa, KS;&nbsp; Brenton Smith, Roeland Park, KS;&nbsp; Kyler Coupal and wife Shelby (Hynek) of Miltonvale, KS; and Kinsey (Coupal) and husband Trevor Cox, Clay Center, KS. Great-grandchildren include Isabella Young, Graham Young, Coleson Cox and Emma Cox.

Her life was filled with many interesting experiences. She was born prematurely at three lbs, survived several accidents, and worked hard as a farmer’s wife. They raised turkeys for a few years, but the main focus at the farm was cattle. She canned her own fruits and vegetables, and made the best apple pie. 

Betty enjoyed the friends and family that would drop in to see her.&nbsp; She loved having her grandchildren around, who got away with more than her own kids did. She taught them to play checkers and Rummy, along with having the best Pepsi parties, cookies, and ice cream. Betty may have been best known for her jokes and no one was ever a stranger to her as she had the gift to start up a conversation with anyone.

She will always be loved and missed by many!

In lieu of flowers memorial contributions can be made to the Betty Coupal Memorial Fund, to be designated at a later date,&nbsp; c/o the funeral home.

Daniel Melvin Clore

Josephine “Jo” Marie (Goodnough) Yakich,&nbsp;95 years young, residing in 
Westminster, Colorado, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Wednesday,
 November 2, 2022, at her home, Keystone Place at Legacy Ridge.

Jo was born in Bennington, Kansas,&nbsp;to&nbsp;Edward and Frances Goodnough on
 October 6, 1927.&nbsp; She attended high school in Hays, Kansas, graduated 
in 1945 with a music scholarship to Fort Hays Kansas State University. 
&nbsp;She went on to earn a college degree, majoring in music, from Fort Hays
 State University. &nbsp;This was a remarkable accomplishment for a young 
woman in 1949.&nbsp; That was not enough for Jo as shortly thereafter, she 
moved to the big city of Denver, Colorado where she began work as a 
receptionist at the University of Denver.&nbsp; During her early years in 
Denver, she was the First Oboist in the Denver Community Symphony (later
 the Denver Philharmonic), conducted by Dr. Antonio Brico, the first 
woman to conduct the New York Philharmonic. &nbsp;

Though music was her passion, Jo was also an exercise enthusiast 
(until she was 93!); and she enjoyed tennis, bicycling, volleyball, and 
softball.&nbsp; She met Eli Yakich Jr. at the boarding house where they both 
lived, and they married on Christmas Eve in 1950.&nbsp; They settled in 
Aurora, Colorado and Jo became an organist at St. Therese Church.&nbsp; For 
the next 40+ years, she accompanied Sunday mass (and the choir), as well
 as funerals and weddings for parishioners.&nbsp; During those years, Jo 
taught piano out of her home and was a substitute teacher while raising 
her four children.&nbsp; She continued to teach and give piano lessons for 
the next 15 years.&nbsp; After she let the school system Jo worked fulltime 
at a bank for a couple of years before joining the Aurora Municipal 
Court as a court reporter. Jo would work for the Court for 13 years 
before retiring.&nbsp;

Jo and Eli retired to Salida, Colorado, and Jo became an organist and
 choir member of St. Joseph Catholic Church there.&nbsp; All who had the 
privilege of knowing Jo would use the same three words to describe her –
 sweet, genuine and kind.&nbsp; Jo affected many lives in her 95 years, but 
none more so than her loving family who will miss her always and love 
her forever.&nbsp;

Jo&nbsp;was preceded in death by her husband of 66 years, Eli 
Yakich Jr.; her sister, Frances Rankin; her brother William McKinley; 
and her sister Eldora Verberg.&nbsp; Jo is survived by her children (Debra 
Yakich Montgomery of Parker, CO; David Yakich and wife Carrie of Arvada,
 Colorado; Diane Yakich Simondi and her husband Rudy of Golden Valley, 
MN; and Danell Yakich of St. Louis Park, MN); her two granddaughters 
(Sarah Yakich of Westminster, CO and Ali Yakich of Denver, CO); her 
niece, Lynn Kelly of Santa Fe, NM; and her nephew, Dennis McKinley of 
Buena Vista CO.

 </figure>Josephine “Jo” Marie (Goodnough) Yakich,&nbsp;95 years young, residing in 
Westminster, Colorado, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Wednesday,
 November 2, 2022, at her home, Keystone Place at Legacy Ridge.Jo was born in Bennington, Kansas,&nbsp;to&nbsp;Edward and Frances Goodnough on
 October 6, 1927.&nbsp; She attended high school in Hays, Kansas, graduated 
in 1945 with a music scholarship to Fort Hays Kansas State University. 
&nbsp;She went on to earn a college degree, majoring in music, from Fort Hays
 State University. &nbsp;This was a remarkable accomplishment for a young 
woman in 1949.&nbsp; That was not enough for Jo as shortly thereafter, she 
moved to the big city of Denver, Colorado where she began work as a 
receptionist at the University of Denver.&nbsp; During her early years in 
Denver, she was the First Oboist in the Denver Community Symphony (later
 the Denver Philharmonic), conducted by Dr. Antonio Brico, the first 
woman to conduct the New York Philharmonic. &nbsp;Though music was her passion, Jo was also an exercise enthusiast 
(until she was 93!); and she enjoyed tennis, bicycling, volleyball, and 
softball.&nbsp; She met Eli Yakich Jr. at the boarding house where they both 
lived, and they married on Christmas Eve in 1950.&nbsp; They settled in 
Aurora, Colorado and Jo became an organist at St. Therese Church.&nbsp; For 
the next 40+ years, she accompanied Sunday mass (and the choir), as well
 as funerals and weddings for parishioners.&nbsp; During those years, Jo 
taught piano out of her home and was a substitute teacher while raising 
her four children.&nbsp; She continued to teach and give piano lessons for 
the next 15 years.&nbsp; After she let the school system Jo worked fulltime 
at a bank for a couple of years before joining the Aurora Municipal 
Court as a court reporter. Jo would work for the Court for 13 years 
before retiring.&nbsp;Jo and Eli retired to Salida, Colorado, and Jo became an organist and
 choir member of St. Joseph Catholic Church there.&nbsp; All who had the 
privilege of knowing Jo would use the same three words to describe her –
 sweet, genuine and kind.&nbsp; Jo affected many lives in her 95 years, but 
none more so than her loving family who will miss her always and love 
her forever.&nbsp;Jo&nbsp;was preceded in death by her husband of 66 years, Eli 
Yakich Jr.; her sister, Frances Rankin; her brother William McKinley; 
and her sister Eldora Verberg.&nbsp; Jo is survived by her children (Debra 
Yakich Montgomery of Parker, CO; David Yakich and wife Carrie of Arvada,
 Colorado; Diane Yakich Simondi and her husband Rudy of Golden Valley, 
MN; and Danell Yakich of St. Louis Park, MN); her two granddaughters 
(Sarah Yakich of Westminster, CO and Ali Yakich of Denver, CO); her 
niece, Lynn Kelly of Santa Fe, NM; and her nephew, Dennis McKinley of 
Buena Vista CO.Services were Nov. 15 and in the care of the Archdiocese of Denver Catholica Funeral &amp; Cemetery Services.
