<a href="https://www.bachelor-surber.com/obituary/Ruth-Wilber">Obituary for Ruth E. Wilber | Bachelor-Surber Funeral Home</a>

December 17, 1932 ~ September 14, 2022 (age 89)

Ruth Wilber departed her loving family on September 14, 2022.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ruth was born in Belleville, Kansas on December 17, 1932, to Lela and Ralph&nbsp;Fraser.&nbsp; She was the youngest daughter of four children and adored her big&nbsp;brothers Gerald (Pat) and Ray (Jeannie), and sister Mary (Richard Shinn and Bill&nbsp;Bruchie). 

She loved riding her horse, Dandy, in and around the farm south of&nbsp;Belleville where she grew up.

She was a lifetime member of the Central&nbsp;Christian Church, actively serving in Sunday school, quilting, and the women&nbsp;fellowship groups.&nbsp;

She was united in marriage on July 29,1951 to the love of her  life, Charles Wilber. Together they raised five children, James, Rebecca, Charlotte, Susan, and Daniel with love and devotion on a dairy farm, less than a mile away from where she was raised.

Ruth and Charles not only shared raising a family but also shared the many duties of operating a dairy farm.&nbsp; Ruth could be found working in the dairy barn as often as in the kitchen -- cooking one of her fabulous pies or canning jellies and jams.&nbsp; She continued to enjoy riding horses, joining the family in many adventuresome trail rides.&nbsp; Ruth loved spending time with her family, and especially delighted in her grandchildren. After selling the dairy farm, Ruth enjoyed gardening, and raising dairy goats, and hand-milked many goats during this time.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

She is preceded in death, by her parents, siblings and their spouses, husband Charles, son James, and daughter-in-law Marti (Valek) Wilber.

She is survived by her children Rebecca (Craig) Lewis, Charlotte (Blake) Sullivan, Susan (Zach) Thomas, and Dan Wilber; her grandchildren Zachary Gagnon (Lindsay), Leah Gagnon (Caleb Lackey), Whitney (Sullivan) (Casey Schwineinger), Audrey Sullivan, Shane Sullivan, Lucas Bergstrom, Sam Thomas, Cameron Wilber, and Tobi Wilber; as well as six great-grandchildren; an “adopted” daughter, Sarah Taylor-Bergstrom; and many beloved nieces and nephews.

A celebration of Life Service will be held at Central Christian Church on Saturday, September 24, 2022 at 10:30 a.m., with Pastor Jacob Rice, officiating.

Family inurnment will be held at a later date at Pleasant View Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Central Christian Church, North Central Kansas Health Care Foundation, or the Belleville Health Care Center can be made in Ruth’s name.

Friends may sign the register book from 1 p.m. until 6 p.m. on Friday, September 23, 2022 at the Bachelor-Surber Funeral Home and prior to the services on Saturday at the Church.

<a href="https://www.yazelmeglifh.com/obituaries/hugo-kickhaefer-1">Hugo Kickhaefer Obituary 2022 - Yazel - Megli Funeral Homes (yazelmeglifh.com)</a>

Hugo G. Kickhaefer was born October 24, 1931, to Ewaldt and Lizzie (Schlesener) Kickhaefer on the family farm in rural Woodbine, KS. He was confirmed on June 17, 1945 at Saint Paul’s Lutheran Church, Shadybrook, KS. 

Hugo graduated from Woodbine High School in 1949 and went on to serve in the United States Air Force, stationed in Wichita, KS. 

While serving in the Air Force, he met and later married Donna (Wheat) Kickhaefer on October 02, 1955, at the Methodist Church in Jewell, KS. They returned to Herington where they farmed for five years. In 1960, Hugo began working for Evans Grain Co. managing the grain elevator in Marysville, KS until 1975. At that time, Hugo and Donna purchased the grain elevator at Latimer, KS which they owned and managed until their retirement.

Hugo loved the outdoors. He especially loved hunting, fishing, and gardening. One of his favorite activities was driving around to check on the farms and crops. He also enjoyed oil painting, playing cards, and woodworking in his free time. Hugo loved taking his granddog Bella to the park on his scooter. He loved telling stories of his time growing up with eleven siblings and many cousins, harassing the teachers in the country school that he attended, his time in the Air Force as a mechanic on the large bombers, and playing baseball. 

He and Donna explored most of the United States and Canada on a number of trips with friends. Most of all, Hugo loved his family and found joy in his grandchildren and great grandchildren. 

Hugo’s faith was important to him. When he could no longer see to read his Bible, he would listen to the audio version. He was also a reliable volunteer at the church when the lawn needed mowing or a variety of other trustee duties.

Hugo, at the age of 90, entered his eternal rest on Thursday, September 15, 2022, in Herington, KS. 

He is preceded in death by his parents Ewaldt and Lizzie Kickhaefer, siblings Virgil Kickhaefer, Gerhardt Kickhaefer, Orville Kickhaefer, Alvin Kickhaefer, Levi Kickhaefer, Rosalie Tucker, and infant brother Walter Max Kickhaefer. 

He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Donna; children Marta (Jerry) Bengtson, Kenneth (Barb) Kickhaefer, Gary (Carrie) Kickhaefer, and Lori Kickhaefer Keazirian; grandchildren Lindsay (Shawn) Billinger, Brooklyn (Jake) Woolard, Mica Bengtson, Jonathan (Payden) Kickhaefer, Maggie (Austin) Lord, Zachary (Julia) Kickhaefer, Nathan (Chandler) Kickhaefer, Taylor Kickhaefer, and Jennifer Beames; great-grandchildren Braelyn Billinger, Brynna Billinger, Brant Billinger, Brooks Billinger, Rhett Woolard, Everly Woolard, Hunter Kickhaefer, Lake Kickhaefer, Blaine Lord, Claire Kickhaefer, Delaney Kickhaefer, and Levi Kickhaefer; and by siblings Marvel Birchfield, Linda (Don) Gruidel, Lavada (Rob) Gleissner, Eugene (Ruth) Kickhaefer, and Robert Kickhaefer; also many nieces, nephews, and dear friends.

Visitation will be held at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church, Herington, KS on Tuesday, September 20, 2022, from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. Funeral service for Hugo will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, September 21, 2022, at the church with interment to follow at St. Paul Lutheran Cemetery, rural Woodbine, KS. The family invites you to join them for food and fellowship at the church following the burial.

<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/JamesJim-Carrigan">Obituary for James "Jim" C. Carrigan | Ryan Mortuary</a>

November 16, 1938 ~ September 16, 2022 (age 83)

James "Jim" C. Carrigan, age 82, of Salina, passed away peacefully at his home, surrounded by family, on Friday, September 16th, 2022.

Jim was born November 16, 1938 to his parents Mike and Minnie Carrigan in Chicago, Illinois. He met his wife, Diane, in 1959 on a blind date.&nbsp; His twinkling blue eyes and contagious laugh sealed the deal. They were married for 61 years.

Jim worked as an engineering technician for Shaver &amp; Company and Bucher, Willis &amp; Ratliff Corp. before serving as the Director of Development for Sacred Heart High School. He retired from ADM Milling in 2009.

Jim didn’t know a stranger and enjoyed getting to know people, who often described him as ‘ornery’ upon first meeting.&nbsp; Faith, family, and friends were his priorities.

He was an active member of St. Mary’s Parish, serving on the parish council, as Eucharistic Minister for 35 years, and co-director of St. Mary’s Sunday pre-school program. Along with his wife, Diane, he served as a marriage sponsor for several years.
