<a href="https://www.yazelmeglifh.com/obituaries/george-rogers-1">George Rogers Obituary 2022 - Yazel - Megli Funeral Homes (yazelmeglifh.com)</a>

George Robert Rogers went to his heavenly home on August 13, 2022, in the Marion, Kansas hospital.

George was born in Herington, KS on November 11, 1927 to James Albert Rogers and Violet Ethel Mason.&nbsp; He graduated from Herington High School.&nbsp; He served in the United States Army.

He married Dorothy Jane Davenport in El Dorado, Kansas, on December 11, 1947 and they were married for 65 years until her passing in 2013.

In the early '60s, George and some others kept the church league baseball program going in Herington, and at the end of the season, the players were taken to KC to watch Kansas City play the Yankees.&nbsp; He umpired a lot of ballgames, to include the church league, girls teams, and American Legion.&nbsp;&nbsp;

George loved to give blood.&nbsp; He was disappointed he wasn’t able to give his 100th&nbsp;pint.&nbsp; He had a rare blood type and one time was called off his postal route to give blood for someone.&nbsp; He worked a short while for Beech Aircraft and then worked for the post office about 30 years and estimated that he walked the equivalent of 1 ½ times around the world delivering the mail in Herington.

George loved to give a dollar to little kids when he would see them as it brought him great joy.

He attended Rock Island Church in Herington for many years.&nbsp;

He liked living at the Hilltop.&nbsp; He played pool, worked puzzles, and talked to everyone getting on and off the elevator.&nbsp; He recently moved to Marian Assisted Living and was happy in his short time there.

George is survived by four children:&nbsp; Mike Rogers (Pat) Kerrville, TX; Linda Troop (Judson) Lawton, OK; Dean Rogers, Tucson, AZ, and Kent Rogers, Herington, KS; four grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews, and brother Jack Rogers, Wichita, KS.

Preceding him in death were his wife; his parents; a brother, James Rogers; a sister, Alberta (Berky) Smith; and great-grandson Caulen Hendon.

A private family celebration of his life was held at the Herington cemetery on August&nbsp; 14, 2022.

February 26th, 1938 - Monday, August 15th, 2022

Dickie Lee Ryff was born at home on February 26, 1938 to Louis D. Ryff and Doris C. (Shane)Ryff. 

He was an ornery cuss and learned a hard lesson after a bull he enjoyed taunting decided it had had enough. That old bull caught Dickie with one of his horns and nearly tore his nose off (likely the reason he never could breathe well through his nose). Later Dickie learned to drive and enjoyed a good game of cat and mouse with local law enforcement. One such game ensued when a memorable date with a pretty young lady, Florence Murrison, from Chapman included a fast exit out of town by way of Indian Hill on Old 40. That old deputy thought he could catch Dickie when he brought his date home so he just waited, knowing he had to return the same way he left. Dickie outsmarted him by switching his car for his dad’s and drove right past him to return Florence safely home. 

Dickie eventually settled down and married Florence Murrison on September 25, 1964. 

He always worked hard, spending many years at Vacu-Blast and Abrasive Blast as well as a few jobs in between. 

In his spare time, he worked on cars, did auto body and painting as well as enjoyed racing with his son Brian at local tracks on the weekend. 

Dickie Lee Ryff is survived by his wife Florence of the home, sons Ty (Cathy) Ryff, Brian Ryff and Rodney Ryff, daughters Vicky (Bud) Elliott and Glenda (Glen) Renz, sister Shirley Ryff, many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and extended family. 

He was predeceased by son Randall Ryff and his parents. 

Graveside services for Dickie will be 10:30 a.m., Saturday, August 20, 2022 at Abilene City Cemetery. 

Online condolences may be sent to www.dannerfuneralhome.net.

<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/William-Veitch">Obituary for William Robert Veitch | Ryan Mortuary</a>

November 22, 1942 ~ August 15, 2022 (age 79)

William Robert Veitch, 79, died peacefully on August 15, 2022, with loved ones at his side at his home in Boulder, CO.

Bill was born in Ellsworth, Kansas, on November 22, 1942, to William J. and Frances Veitch. He grew up in Salina, spending treasured time with his grandparents in Barnard and Kanopolis. He was active in Boy Scouts, attaining the rank of Eagle Scout.

After graduating from Salina High School and College of Emporia, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy in March 1964. He attended Officer Candidate School in Newport, Rhode Island, and served three tours in southeast Asia as a gunnery officer on board the USS Wedderburn between 1964 and 1967.

When he returned from his service in the Navy, Bill earned his master’s degree and Ph.D. from Kansas State University, studying quantitative methods and completing his dissertation on a computer program that he wrote comparing statistical tests. He spent the next 30 years working as an administrator in testing and research for public school districts in Michigan and Colorado, retiring in 2003.

Bill spent his retirement enjoying travel, Major League baseball, classic movies, time with grandkids, good food and fine wine. He was unbeatable at trivia and the New York Times crossword puzzle. Bill’s kindness and generous spirit were known by all of those close to him. His sharp intellect and sense of humor will be missed and remembered forever. He was a good man.

He is survived by his son William Donald Veitch (Heather) of Albuquerque, New Mexico; daughter Susan Veitch Twetten (Daniel) of Boulder, Colorado; grandchildren Olivia, Isabel, Liam, Zoe, Jane and Elsa; and former wife and longtime friend Jane Roane. The family would also like to thank his trusted caregiver Pemba Warren for her devoted care in his final years.

Funeral services will be held at the graveside at 3:00 p.m. Saturday August 20, 2022 in the Gypsum Hill Cemetery, Salina, Ks.&nbsp; The family will receive friends at the Ryan Mortuary at 2:00 p.m. that day before processing to the graveside.

Verlin met the love of his life Edna L. Berens and they were united in marriage on June 10, 1972, in Durham, Kansas. They made their home in Salina, Kansas for six years. Verlin and Edna welcomed their son, Preston, in 1974, and their daughter, Pamela, in 1976. Shortly after their children were born, they built a home in Assaria, Kansas where he resided until his passing.

Verlin began his working career at International Harvester after graduating from Brown Mackie College. He then worked for Exide Battery until gaining employment at Forever Oak in Salina, Kansas. This is where he combined his love for wood furniture and craftsmanship and his gift of never knowing a stranger. Verlin opened his own furniture store, Oak Treasures, in Wichita, Kansas. After closing his store, Verlin retired from Sam’s Club in 2018.

Verlin was an active member of his community and Assaria Lutheran Church. In his younger years, he was a member of the Assaria Jaycees.  He was a 4-H project leader in woodworking and assisted in judging projects for many years.  He served as an Assaria City Council member for eight years, maintained the Assaria Community Building, and also helped with the Assaria Community Garden.

In his free time, Verlin enjoyed woodworking and carving and always looked forward to traveling with Edna and extended family. Whether it be by bus or cruise ship, Verlin and Edna cherished the time they had together to enjoy new experiences and see new places. 

Verlin had such a big heart and his family meant everything to him. He spent his time attending his children's activities, assisted them with 4-H Fair projects, and lent a helping hand to anyone who was in need. Verlin adored his seven grandchildren and made time to build projects with each. He also traveled all over the state to attend their activities, or just spend time with them. 

Verlin is survived by his wife Edna Richert of the home; son Preston M. Richert (Camille) of Winfield; daughter Pamela M. Hamlin (Chad) of Hugoton; sisters Krystal Jensen of McPherson, Annette Goering (Randy) of Great Bend; brother Bentley Richert (Connie) of Buhler; a very special aunt Lillian Peters (Joe) of North Newton; grandchildren Rozlynn Richert, Rhyanna Richert, Rheegyn Richert, Rylan Richert, Mitchell Hamlin, McKenna Hamlin, and Mikyn Hamlin; and many nieces and nephews.

Mary M. (Hansen) Smith passed Friday evening, August 12, 2022 at Enterprise Estates Nursing Center. Family members were at her side throughout the day and evening. Mary was 86 years, 11 months and 3 weeks old. She will be sadly missed by her family and friends. 

Funeral arrangements are with Martin-Becker-Carlson-Funeral Home in Abilene. 

Family visitation will be Wednesday, Aug. 17, 2002 at the funeral home from 6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. A Celebration of Life Service will be held at the Enterprise Community Church in Enterprise, KS on Thursday, April 18, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. with Pastor Arnie Boyd officiating. Graveside service to follow at Mt. Hope Cemetery, Enterprise, KS. She was born on her maternal grandparents’ farm in Charlotte County, VA on August 20, 1935, the daughter of Annie (Powell) and Master Gunnery Sgt. Cecil Hansen. Mary spent her early years there on the farm, surrounded by a large family while her father served in the USMC.

After his retirement the family moved to Enterprise, KS where Mary attended Enterprise High School. It was there that she first met her future husband, Ron Smith. After graduation she moved to Topeka, KS where she attended nursing school and worked at Merchants Bank. 

In 1960 she married Ron Smith (Ret. SMSGT). They spent several years in the Topeka area while Ron was stationed at Forbes Air Base. Three children were born in Topeka, Kristina, Valarie and Ron Jr. (Lee). Mary spent 27 years as an Air Force military wife, moving many times as Ron’s base assignments changed. She served in the Red Cross in a number of roles and locations over the years, including Guam where she would meet the Air Evac planes coming from Vietnam to Guam. She offered comfort and what assistance she could to the wounded soldiers on their layover before their return to their homes. In later years the family was stationed in Germany where Mary traveled to Paris and numerous landmarks and castles in Germany. Upon Ron’s retirement from the Air Force, the family moved back to Enterprise, KS. For 40 years they made their home on Factory ST. in Enterprise. Mary was a very friendly woman who loved to talk and visit with everyone she met. She never knew a stranger. She was a lifelong church member beginning in VA and continuing on through the family's travels and the Enterprise United Methodist Church. Mary was a long time Sunday School teacher and had various committee and group roles over the years.

She was a steadfast Kansan and loved her state, visiting state landmarks and lakes. One of her favorite things were family picnics at Milford Lake. She was an “Avon Lady” for a number of years and thoroughly enjoyed the trips with other ladies to see what was new in Avon and visiting her many area customers. Mary is survived by her beloved husband Ron of the home. Mary adored Ron and often referred to him as the “best of the best,” three children, Kristina (Ken) Jackson, Valarie (Kirk) Greenemeyer and Ron (Maria) Smith, Jr., 12 grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren, a sister, Ruth Hansen Wilcox of VA, and other family members. Memorial contributions may be made to the Enterprise Community Church and may be sent in care of the Martin-Becker-Carlson Funeral Home, 414 NW 3rd, Abilene, Kansas 67410.
