Joan was a retired teacher and most recently taught 8th&nbsp;grade English at Prairie Hills Middle School.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.chaputbuoy.com/obituary/dean-alexander">Obituary | Dean E. Alexander of Sachse, Texas | Chaput-Buoy Funeral Home (chaputbuoy.com)</a>

Dean E. Alexander, age 88, entered into rest on Thursday, September 29, 2022, at his home is Sachse, Texas. He was born on November 26, 1933, on the family farm in Clifton, Kansas to Trefflia and Elizabeth (Esslinger) Alexander. He was the youngest of their seven children.

Dean was a 1951 graduate of Clifton High School. He went on to earn his bachelor’s degree in accounting from Kansas State University in 1955. Dean later earned his master’s degree in business from Webster University in 1973.

He served as a pilot in the United States Air Force, retiring in 1979 as a Lieutenant Colonel. During his 25 years in the U.S. Air Force, Dean was a Fighter-Interceptor pilot, Flight Training Instructor, Air Ops Officer, TAC Fighter/Special Tactics, and Air Commander.

On December 26, 1955, he married Nanella Racette in Clifton, Kansas. They were blessed with five children, raising them on three continents over the course of his military career.

When Dean retired from the United States Air Force, he and Nanella purchased a gourmet popcorn franchise in a San Antonio, Texas shopping mall. They chose the company name by combining their own names (Dean + Nan = Deanan). Over the next several years, they bought and sold several retail locations. This allowed them to work together and involve the three of their five children still living at home. In 1987, he developed a fundraising program that proved to be so successful, he sold his retail shops. The business continued to grow and is now a nationwide fundraising and manufacturing company. Dean retired in 2005 after 26 years in business, selling Deanan Gourmet Popcorn to his five children, who continue to operate it today. 

His legacy includes a third generation working in the business. &nbsp;Dean was passionate about small business, his family, serving his community, and his faith. Having been an altar boy in childhood, he readily helped whenever the opportunity arose for the rest of his life.

He was a life member of the American Legion Post #227, Clifton, KS, and the Daedalians, the fellowship of military aviators. Community service was a priority wherever he lived. He was a source of wisdom and encouragement to each of his children.

Survivors include his wife Nanella Alexander, Sachse, TX; daughter Alisa Martin, Sachse, TX; daughter Barbara Hodge (John), Sachse, TX; son Mark Alexander (Karen), Lucas, TX; daughter Janet Aaron (Victor) Plano, TX; and, daughter Amy Alexander (Kelli Shepard), Phoenix, AZ. He was a proud grandfather of eight, and great-grandfather of nine. He is also survived by his sister-in-law, Rita Alexander of Clifton, KS.&nbsp;

September 3rd, 1934 -&nbsp; September 29th, 2022

Robert “Bob” Kooser passed away Thursday, September 29th at the age of 88. Bob was born September 3rd, 1934, in Summerfield, KS, the son of Robert Eugene and Helen Elizabeth Kooser. 

He is preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Helen and his son Mark Ryan Kooser. Robert met the love of his life, Normaglee (Glee) O’Neil at the age of 16 in Beatie, KS and they were married in January 1954.

After experiencing several harsh winters working for the railroad on the plains of Nebraska away from home, he decided it was time to take a calculated business risk by operating the Skyline Truck Stop in Marysville, KS. In October of 1960 he moved to Abilene, KS and ran the Sinclair gas station. After a year he took over the Texaco gas station one block away and one year later he took over the Texaco bulk oil and gas business. In 1983 Bob and Glee joined into the Amway business with Staton and Jody and built a large organization of friends and enjoyed mentoring many people in their Amway business. They enjoyed traveling to Hawaii and many other fun destinations. In 1995, Bob and Staton formed a business partnership and operated FasTrack Lube Pro’s together for 23 years. After his wife, his second greatest passion was cars. He once traded his car for a house and he didn’t always remember the most important dates but could always remember the car he was driving to coincide with the dates. He was always looking for ways to entertain his children, such as buying a ski boat for a family that didn’t know how to swim, then he traded the boat for a horse named Linda, then Linda had a foal that no one rode so he traded the horses for a Harley Davidson that he barely rode. Bob was an avid hunter, on one of his later hunting trips, he came back with the largest bird imaginable, a Lincoln Continental. Family was always the most important thing to Bob. He was always a great example of what a good Catholic father and husband should be. Everything he did was for his family and God. He was active in the Knights of Columbus, he attained the Fourth Degree and was a Grand Knight. He was active in church at St. Andrews serving as lector, usher, Eucharistic Minister, and a supporter of St. Andrew's School. He was also active in the Abilene community through the Chamber of Commerce, serving as a member, and President and enjoyed business ribbon cuttings. Bob is survived by his wife Normaglee, three children, Marsha (Joel) Voran, Leawood, KS, Staton (Jody) Kooser, Abilene, KS, Greg Kooser, Brooklyn, NY, and sisters Sharon Durkes, Eskridge, KS, Linda (Bruce) Bond, Paxico, KS. He had eight grandchildren; Christina Frank, Erica Anderson, Ryan Kooser, Ben Voran, Diane Kooser, Ashley Mitts, Matthew Kooser and Michael Kooser, and 14 great-grandchildren and many beloved nieces and nephews. Mass of Christian Burial for Bob will be 10:00 am Monday, October 3, 2022 at the St. Andrew’s Catholic Church in Abilene with Father Peter O’Donnell as Celebrant. A parish rosary will be 5:00 p.m. Sunday evening at the Martin-Becker-Carlson Funeral Home. Bob’s final resting place will be in the Mt. St. Joseph Cemetery north of Abilene.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations in Bob’s name be made to St. Andrews School or Chapman Valley Manor, and may be left at Martin-Becker-Carlson Funeral Home in Abilene.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Sharon Ann Bafford Meeks was born on May 7, 1941 to Eloise and Dellis Bafford. She was flown away to meet in person the lover of her soul, friend, Lord and Savior September 27, 2022 on the birthday of her beloved daughter Celestina Johnson. 

Sharon spent the last 11 years of her life in Abilene becoming well known and loved in the community. Before that she lived in Portland Oregon and Emmett Idaho and spent some of her best years with her wonderful husband David Meeks, who adored her. She was most proud of being a mother of four children and having been a nurses’ aide as a young woman. She was a caretaker and lover of people her whole life. Most who encountered her would mention how sweet she was. No one was a stranger, everyone a friend. Sharon’s joyful spirit and appreciation for having fun was contagious. With her God given superpower (LOVE) and by the grace of God, she was able to endure many trials in her life and continued to love unconditionally; no wonder so many people called her Mom. Our most special, sweet, and spunky Mom and Nanna will be missed by so many including her four children, Celestina Johnson, Sharon Ross, James Pio and Jolynda Collier, as well as 12 grandchildren (local: Tony Lawson, Sarah Woods, and Cord Lawson) and 20 great-grandchildren (local: Dammion Woods, Sierra Woods, Joshua Woods, Isaiah Woods and Gabriel Woods, Danna Lawson and Aiden Lawson).

She was preceded in death by her mother Eloise and father Dellis Bafford, her husband David Meeks, two of her sisters and her youngest brother.

Keith Leon Hall, age 85, of Ulysses, Kansas, died on Thursday, September
 29, 2022, at Kearny County Hospital in Lakin. He had been living at 
High Plains Retirement Village since November 29, 2021, due to his 
health issues of Dementia and Parkinson’s. 
He was the only child of Thomas Harvey and Ida Estelle (Bly) Hall born 
on August 11, 1937, at St. Catherine Hospital in Garden City, Kansas. 
He grew up on a farm 9 miles south of Pierceville, Kansas. He attend 
all 12 years of school in Ingalls, Kansas, graduating in May of 1955 
from a class of 8 which he outlived all of the other 7 kids. He played 
sports and a clarinet in band. He loved marching in the parades. He 
also drove a school bus while attending school and had plenty of stories
 to tell about school days. 
After high school, Keith attended Kansas State University graduating 
with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Agricultural – Feed Technology on 
January 29, 1960. He was a real “Wild Cat” all the way. 
He began working for companies and feedlots and even a chicken layer factor in Iowa, Illinois and Nebraska. 
He married Linda Lou (Baumgarner) Dolgin on December 25, 1961, and they 
adopted a boy 10 months old, but they divorced in 1968 and Keith and 
Bryan moved back to Hodgeman County where he worked for Dodge City Co-op
 in the feed department. He also helped his father farm, and raise hogs
 and cattle. 
He remarried on March 18, 1973, to Jean Loree (Baldwin) Eichman at the 
First Christian Church in Dodge City. He acquired 2 daughters, Kim and 
Debra. Keith and Jean bought a farm south of Dodge City with no 
experience in irrigation to raise crops. What a challenge! 
He quit the Co-op to farm, raise cattle and hogs, and do the swathing and bailing. 
They sold this farm and moved to the Hodgeman County farm in October 
1982 to live and farm the section his Dad had owned and who had passed 
on in March of 1980. He farmed, custom bailed and swathed, raised cows,
 fed hogs and sheep, and also worked as a pre-loader for 18 years at UPS
 until he retired in February 2003. 
Keith was a member of the First Christian Church of Dodge City where he 
served as a deacon and a choir member. He also served on the Ford 
County Fair Board, Co-op Board, Extension Council, and Salvation Army 
Board and was a volunteer for several years in the store as a clerk. 
They sold the farm in 2010, moved to Ulysses on October 12, 2019, as his
 health was declining and closer to their oldest daughter and her 
family. 
Keith loved doing crafts, attending school activities, yard work, watching TV, KC Royals, K-State and KU basketball games. 
Survivors include his wife Jean of Ulysses; two daughters, Kim Gibbons 
and husband Marty of Ulysses, and Debra Stewart of Jetmore; one son, 
Bryan Hall of Salina; three grandchildren, Kristoffer (Ashley Fry)

Virginia Jacqueline Clapp, age 86, Hays, Kansas passed away on Wednesday September 28, 2022, at Hays Medical Center. She was born October 28, 1935, in Salina, Kansas, to Anthony and Edith (Pihl) Zamrzla. A 1953 graduate of Sacred Heart High School, she was known as "Zam" by her friends. She was particularly proud of this nickname, as it was shared with her dad, Sacred Heart basketball's Coach Zam. Virginia met the love of her life, a tall, handsome US Air Force airman named Gene Clapp, on her front porch for a blind date, a date that had been set up by her best friend. Gene and Virginia were married in Salina on June 2, 1957, the day after she graduated from Marymount College. Gene preceded her in death November 27, 1988. Making their home in several Kansas towns as teachers, the Clapps made their final move in 1971 to Hays, KS. Virginia began teaching English at Hays Junior High, which later transitioned to Felten Middle School, teaching in the same classroom for 23 years. She was known by all for her red grading pen, finding and correcting writing and grammatical errors of both pupils and colleagues. A favorite last day of school tradition blossomed during those years where Mrs. Clapp and a teaching friend would engage in a water gun fight in the hallways of FMS. Mrs. Clapp retired from teaching in 1992 but kept busy with many activities. She served as an elder, deacon, and chairwoman for Presbyterian Women of Hays First Presbyterian Church. A favorite part of her service was the weekly Wednesday Bible study with friends from church. She also met weekly with a group of retired teacher friends, known as "The Wednesday Night Club," who went out to eat at all the different restaurants Hays had to offer. Virginia also served several years as chairperson for the Humane Society of the High Plains' annual fundraiser, The Souper Bowl. Virginia was preceded in death by her husband of 32 years, daughter Gayla Amend, stillborn daughter Holly, her father and mother, brothers Bruce Zamrzla and Larry Zamrzla, sister-in-law Shirley Zamrzla, nephew Brett Zamrzla, father and mother-in-law Fred and Myrtle Clapp. She is survived by daughters Lanette Shaffer and husband Kevin of Fort Morgan, CO, Jenny Prine and husband Toby of Hays, KS, son-in-law Ty Amend of Wichita, KS, grandchildren Lexi (Nate) Rogers, Tyler Shaffer, Emily (Michael) Stefan, and Andrew Prine, great grandchildren Oaklyn and Easton Rogers, Eleanor Stefan, sister-in-law Jeanette Zamrzla, and many nieces and nephews. Visitation will be 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Friday, September 30th, at Brock's-Keithley Funeral Chapel, 2509 Vine Street, Hays.

<a href="https://www.jostfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Kermit-Ratzlaff?obId=25996552#/obituaryInfo">Kermit Ratzlaff Obituary - Visitation &amp; Funeral Information (jostfuneralhome.com)</a>

Kermit Ratzlaff, Hillsboro, Kansas, passed away peacefully on September 27, 2022, at Parkside Home in Hillsboro at the age of 100.

Kermit was born December 26, 1921, in the Hillsboro Hospital to Jonathan J. and Marie Plenert Ratzlaff. In 1928, they moved to the Balko area in the panhandle of Oklahoma, in time for the hardships of the dust bowl. The family was part of the Balko Mennonite Brethren Church, and he was baptized at the age of 12. Kermit was valedictorian at Corn Bible Academy and at Bethany school at Balko.

He enrolled in Tabor College, and here he met Ruth Warkentin. In the fall of 1942, they were engaged, days before he was inducted into Civilian Public Service as a Conscientious Objector, serving in Oregon, Wisconsin, and California. 

Kermit and Ruth were married in Los Angeles on August 11, 1944, and lived in Pasadena, California, for 14 years where they produced five children. They spent 4four years in west Los Angeles, and he received his Ph.D. in zoology from UCLA in 1961.

In 1962, the family moved to Edwardsville, Illinois, where he joined the faculty of Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville. He remained at SIUE until retirement in 1992.

Within a couple years, he and Ruth moved to Hillsboro, Kansas. There he stayed always busy with gardening and volunteering. He immediately joined the Lions Club and helped at the Adobe House Museum. He was an active proponent of recycling in Hillsboro. Kermit led the Senior Center board, and his interest in affordable housing led him to leadership at Grand Oaks and to working with Habitat for Humanity. 

Still needing activity and wanting to be busy, he was a paperboy until age 97, possibly the world’s oldest. His hundredth birthday slideshow may be viewed at https://theRatzlaffs.net

Kermit was predeceased by his wife of nearly 62 years, Ruth, and by his brother Harvey, and his sister Merlie Friesen. 

He is survived by five children: Kenneth (Virginia), Ronald (Nancy), David (Elizabeth), Marilyn Lovinger (Warren) and Eugene (Jewel); 14 grandchildren, 23 great-grandchildren, one great-great grandchild, and his sister Irma Koop.

Viewing will be at Parkview MB Church, on October 7, 5-7 p.m. Burial will be in the Hillsboro MB Cemetery at 10 a.m., October 8, followed by the funeral service at 11 a.m. at Parkview MB Church. 

The family suggests memorials supporting two of his passions: the Hillsboro Senior Center and the Mennonite Central Committee in care of Jost Funeral Home, P.O. Box 266, Hillsboro, KS 67063.

Anna Grace (Wiens) Flickinger, 100, died peacefully September 28, 2022, in Inman, Kansas. Anna Grace was born September 11, 1922, to Martin and Nettie (Vogt) Wiens in rural Inman. 

She married Virgil Flickinger on August 10, 1949, and they shared 37 years of marriage before his death in 1986. Education and service were important to Anna Grace. She taught first grade in various schools in Kansas before she and Virgil spent two years volunteering with Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) doing relief work in Europe from 1950-1952. They spent a year in Naples, Italy, and another year in Germany, briefly in Berlin, but mainly in Kaiserslautern. Together they raised their family in Inman, Kansas, where Anna Grace was active in church and community activities and organizations, as well as driving a kindergarten bus route for Inman Grade School, and working at Pleasant View Home as a CMA.
