Donna M. Ward-SERVICES ARE 2:00 PM, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2022 AT THE FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH, BELLEVILLE, KANSAS

<a href="https://www.bachelor-surber.com/obituary/Donna-Ward">Obituary for Donna M. Ward | Bachelor-Surber Funeral Home</a>

September 5, 1935 ~ July 31, 2022 (age 86)

Donna was joyfully reunited with family and friends in heaven on July 31, 2022. Donna was born Sept 5, 1935 to Miles and Maggie Falkenstien near Chetopa, Kansas. She grew up in the beautiful rural farming area of southeast Kansas, graduating from Labette County High School and Pittsburg State University. 

While at the university she met James Ward, a medical student from Pittsburg, and they married in June of 1956. Together they had four daughters and an ever-changing menagerie of beloved pets. After completing military service in Tacoma, Washington, the family settled in Belleville in 1961 and spent many happy years there.

Outside of her family, education was Donna’s great passion. She couldn’t wait to start school at age four. She taught second grade in Leawood, KS for two years before staying home to care for her family. She later spent many years as a substitute teacher in the Republic County school system, and was the first director of the Belleville After School Program. She was so very proud of her daughters’ educational and professional achievements.

Donna was a member of the First United Methodist Church, PEO, Shakespeare, and several bridge clubs over the years. She reveled in every slam she bid and made, and her love of the game will be missed at the bridge table. She was an avid KU basketball fan, attending games as far away as Hawaii, Orlando and the Bahamas, and never missed them on TV. She enjoyed making travel memories with her family and friends, but thought there was no place better than her home in Kansas.

Donna was welcomed to heaven by her husband, oldest daughter Cindy, son-in-law Jay Skaggs, her parents and brother Richard, and so many good friends. 

She will be dearly missed by daughters Cathy Ward of Lincoln, NE, Caryl and Dave Geschwind &nbsp;of Rochester, MN, Connie and Doug Hulst of Englewood, CO; as well as her seven grandchildren, Jennifer Skaggs, Clayton and Sarah Skaggs, Samantha and Travis Boyett, Kate, Cole and Meg Geschwind, Jack Hulst, and so many cherished friends and neighbors.

A celebration of life will be held at 2:00 p.m., Saturday, October 22, 2022 at the First United Methodist Church, Belleville, KS.  The family will greet friends from 1 p.m. until 2:00 p.m. on Saturday prior to the services at the church. 

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials to the Republic County Hospital, Meadowlark Hospice, American Cancer Society, or the Methodist Church in c/o the funeral home.

Bob often commented that he had worked all his life, and this consistent work history did define much of his life.&nbsp; When he was a high school student, he worked for the D.G.

Following his retirement from Farmland, Bob worked for a time at Walmart, when Walmart was hiring people to help with setting up the new Super Walmart.&nbsp; Bob also drove a newspaper delivery truck for the McPherson Sentinel when the Sentinel was still printing newspapers for area towns.&nbsp; He continued to work until declining health conditions finally forced him to retire from all work.&nbsp; He was then able to spend more time with his family, especially the grandchildren.&nbsp; He and Cindy took them on outings and attended many athletic events and activities.&nbsp; Bob enjoyed casino trips with his buddies, and loved cheering for the Jayhawks and Bullpups.

Bob is survived by his loving wife Cindy; two daughters, Loujena Cardenas and Kim Shields; two sons, Brad Parker and Brandon (Tiffany) Parker; grandchildren Lacie Shields, Clayton (Sheena) Herrick, Trista (Jason) McGuire, Derek Shields, Tia (Josh) Goscha, Brittany (Allen) Haas, Cruise Parker, Cole Parker, and Mack Parker; 13 great-grandchildren; three nephews and six nieces; brother-in-law Rev.

Chris Edward Stephenson

Carole A. Thompson, the daughter of Wayne and Lucille (Grauerholtz) 
Schoeni, was born on May 19, 1942, in Smith Center, Kansas. She passed 
away on October 8, 2022, at the Brodstone Healthcare at Superior, 
Nebraska at the age of 80 years, 4 months, 19 days.

Carole was proud to be the Drum Majorette for two years at 
Kensington, Kansas High School for the Gold Bugs Marching Band. She 
spent 30 years as a hairdresser, after graduating from Salina, Kansas 
Beauty Academy, even owning her own shop at one time. She traveled to 
other towns to help beauticians in neighboring communities, when she was
 needed. Bowling was a favorite competitive sport for her and she 
qualified for and participated in state bowling for several years. She 
was involved in United Methodist Women group and served as President, 
for many years. She earned Worthy Matron of the Eastern Star 
Organization, something else she was very honored to achieve. 
Volunteering was so important to Carole and she chose to share her time 
at the Vestey Center, where she helped care for so many friends and 
community members, including her late Mother-in Law, Athelda.

Throughout so many happy years, her and Eldon enjoyed various 
card clubs, going fishing, and crop tours during the fall. Attending 
many of their Grand Daughter, nieces, nephews and family friends’ 
children’s’ events including proms, concerts, plays, sporting events and
 other school activities. In recent years, she became quite supportive 
of Eldon’s trap shoots. She waited all day long, just to meet him at the
 back door, to see how well he did. She accepted and guarded all of his 
trophies and was quick to share with anyone who wanted to see them. 
Throughout their wonderful years of marriage, Eldon was always with 
Carole and Carole was always with Eldon. They celebrated their 60th 
wedding anniversary and Carole’s 80th birthday in May of this year, with
 a big celebration, attended by so many friends, in Superior. A special 
past time for Carole and Eldon was making their annual Arizona trip, 
where they formed a community of friends, who they keep in touch with, 
on a regular basis, to this day.

One of Carole’s pride and joys was her self-named ‘Bird Feed’ 
where she baked up all of the chukar and pheasants Eldon and Jon or 
other friends had shot. The menu was always the same. Bird, rice, mashed
 potatoes, gravy, green beans with onion and bacon. She finished it off 
with her amazing chocolate sheet cake, which we still don’t have the 
secret ingredient for. Many of the people in this room have experienced 
that feast, which says everything about the type of woman she was.

One of the largest parts of the Thompson family life was the Jon
 Thompson Racing Team, car #75. Carole and Eldon never missed a race and
 she could be found sporting her team tee shirt, with her stop watch, 
pen and tiny note pad, taking it all in. The team won the Modified 
National Title in 2002, which was one of Carole’s grandest memories. Her
 Pallbearers today, were all a part of the pit crew, at some time, which
 is exactly what she would have wanted, since she considered each of 
them, one of her sons.

Carole was preceded in death by her parents Wayne and Lucille; sister Jan Zeigler and her in-laws Robert and Athelda.

She is survived by her husband Eldon; sons Chris and Jon (Joni 
Heiland) of Superior, Nebraska; siblings Rita (Lloyd) Kleinschmidt of 
Agra, Kansas; Cheryl Gibbs; Arden Schoeni of Arlington, Texas; 
granddaughter Jasmine (Tristan Stock) Thompson of Elm Creek, Nebraska; 
nieces, nephews, other relatives and a host of friends.

secret ingredient for. Many of the people in this room have experienced 
that feast, which says everything about the type of woman she was.One of the largest parts of the Thompson family life was the Jon
 Thompson Racing Team, car #75. Carole and Eldon never missed a race and
 she could be found sporting her team tee shirt, with her stop watch, 
pen and tiny note pad, taking it all in. The team won the Modified 
National Title in 2002, which was one of Carole’s grandest memories. Her
 Pallbearers today, were all a part of the pit crew, at some time, which
 is exactly what she would have wanted, since she considered each of 
them, one of her sons.Carole was preceded in death by her parents Wayne and Lucille; sister Jan Zeigler and her in-laws Robert and Athelda.She is survived by her husband Eldon; sons Chris and Jon (Joni 
Heiland) of Superior, Nebraska; siblings Rita (Lloyd) Kleinschmidt of 
Agra, Kansas; Cheryl Gibbs; Arden Schoeni of Arlington, Texas; 
granddaughter Jasmine (Tristan Stock) Thompson of Elm Creek, Nebraska; 
nieces, nephews, other relatives and a host of friends.Services at: Megrue-Price Funeral Home, Superior, Nebraska Time of Service: Thursday, October 13, 2022 at 11:00 am Private Family Burial Memorials: in care of the family to be designated later Visitation: From 4:00 pm-8:00 pm on Wednesday with the family present from 6-8 at the Megrue-Price Funeral Home Funeral Home: Megrue-Price Funeral Home, 750 N Commercial, Superior, Nebraska 68978.

Life Sketch Taken from the Funeral Bulletin

Phillip G. Smith, 73, passed away October 7, 2022 at Newton Medical Center in Newton. He was born July 26, 1949 in Hillsboro to Percy and Lorene (Symes) Smith. Phil was baptized April 16, 1950 at the Antelope Methodist Church by Pastor Leslie Wiebe. 

He attended Bethel School east of Lincolnville until 6th grade when the school was closed. He then went to school in Lincolnville for 7th and 8th grades before attending high school at Centre, graduating with the class of 1967. 

While many of his friends went to college or worked, Phil’s calling led him to enlist in the military to join the airforce. He went to basic training in San Antonio, Texas and then air force tech school for aircraft maintenance turbo prop in Wichita Falls, TX before his tour of duty in Okinawa and Thailand for a year and a half. He spoke so fondly of the people and the culture there being so accepting of their service during the Vietnam War. After finishing his tour of duty he was stationed at Grand Forks Air Force Base in North Dakota with the 804th transportation squadron.

It was during this time that Phil met Janet Werner through some mutual friends.They were married July 3, 1971 in Sisseton, South Dakota. Phil was honorably discharged February 22, 1972 so he and Jan moved back to Kansas, living in Lincolnville when their daughter Amy was born on their second wedding anniversary. In 1975, Phil and Jan moved out to the farm so Phil could be closer to help with farming, hogs, and cattle with Percy and Lorene, when Mark was born in June of that year. Five years later, Jesse was born. 

Phil worked various jobs over the years including AMPI in Hillsboro, Donahue Manufacturing in Durham, and worked as a roughneck for Slusser oil drilling company and on the gas drilling rigs and running gas wells for Ourslers. With Phil’s love of cattle and ranching, he also started backgrounding cattle along with tending his own herd. Circle S Manufacturing was born out of Phil’s talent for metalworking and welding. Many of Phil’s hydraulic squeeze chutes can be seen in operation today across the tri-county area and beyond.

In spite of Phil’s ornery nature, he proudly cared for Jan in their home after her dementia made it necessary for her to have nearly constant care. When Jan moved to the nursing home, Phil was dedicated to seeing her daily, spending time with her and remaining true and loving. Little did anyone know that path would lead him to the next love of his life, Melissa Wood. Melissa lovingly cared for Jan as she got to know Phil. Jan passed away in 2016. Phil and Melissa then began to build their life together, blending their family and giving Phil another daughter, Samantha Wood and two more grandchildren. He married Melissa July 14, 2018 at the Marion Reservoir.

Phil loved his grandchildren, working alongside Braden and Garhett, teaching them to weld at the shop, eventually bringing in Pat Combs who has worked with Phil the past 10 years and has kept Circle S Manufacturing in operation during Phil’s illness and will continue operation in Phil’s honor. Phil’s grandson Daylyn is now learning to weld and work with Pat in the shop. 

Family was important to Phil and he enjoyed having gatherings, especially fish frys, which included his granddaughters Elizabeth, Sydney, and Graclyn. A large family garden had also been important to Phil. 

Another bond Phil was so proud of was sharing duties through the American Legion in Lincolnville with Braden after Braden joined the National Guard. Phil was an active member of the Legion for 18 years. Phil was also a member of the NRA, enjoyed hunting and fishing which prompted his other business, Woodland Game Bird that he and Melissa have grown into a thriving business raising quail and a variety of other birds and working his bird dogs.

Phil leaves behind family and friends who are filled with memories and stories that Phil loved to tell, even sharing stories and orneriness on his last day of life. 

Survivors include: wife Melissa Smith of Rural Lincolnville; sons Mark (Lori) Smith of Rural Lincolnville, Jesse (Ashton) Smith of Pilsen; daughters Amy (Brad) Pagenkopf of Lost Springs, Samantha Wood of Rural Lincolnville; eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Celebration of Life 11:00 a.m. Wednesday, October 12, 2022 at the Burdick United Methodist Church in Burdick officiated by Diana Jost. Family will receive friends from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. Monday at the Lincolnville Community Center.
