<a href="https://www.chaputbuoy.com/obituary/robert-welch">Obituary | Robert Lee Welch of Marysville, Kansas | Chaput-Buoy Funeral Home (chaputbuoy.com)</a>

Welch, Robert “Bob” Lee, 94, of Marysville, KS died June 1, 2022 at Country Place Senior Living in Marysville.&nbsp;

A rosary service will be Monday, June 13th&nbsp;beginning at 6:30 p.m. at St Gregory Catholic Church, Marysville.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Mass of Christian Burial will be Tuesday, June 14th&nbsp;at 10:30 a.m. at St Gregory Catholic Church. Grave site services will occur at Marysville Catholic Cemetery followed by a reception at St Gregory Church Hall for those in attendance.

Bob was born in Central City, Nebraska to Ernest Paul and Catherine Josephine (Marsolek) Welch on October 16,1927 and graduated from Crete High School in 1945. 

Bob started college at Doane College in Crete, Nebraska and in September 1946 he enlisted in the Army, was trained and sent to Korea. Following this assignment, he returned from Korea and received an honorable discharge in March of 1948. Bob would spend the next several years continuing his education with some concentration in accounting and earning a bachelor’s degree in social studies from Doane College in 1952.&nbsp;

Bob married his Crete High School sweetheart, Dorothy Vlasin in July 1948. Their first child, Michael was born in 1951 and following Bob’s graduation they moved to Omaha where their second child, Susan was born in 1955. Bob was employed by the Omaha Athletic Club as bookkeeper/accountant.

Bob moved his growing family to Marysville in 1956 to operate the Pacific Hotel Coffee Shop. Bob and Dottie worked as a team to renovate the restaurant and re-establish operations. With great food, quality service and regular entertainment by Bob playing the organ, they quickly became friends with everyone in the Marysville community. But the hard work of running a restaurant and the birth of his third child David in 1959, motivated Bob to change his career to insurance. Beginning as a salesman for Prudential he then acquired the Ready Insurance Agency in 1965. Over the next almost 25 years, Bob bought or merged with various independent insurance agencies until he retired in 1989 from the Houtz-Welch-Adrian Agency.

While insurance may have been his business platform, he was always delighted to share his great musical talent. His original band “The Beachcombers” became the Bob Welch Trio, the preferred dance band in a wide region in and around Marysville. With a limit of 50 dance-band engagements a year, their popularity assured that they never needed to advertise their availability. But that didn’t keep Bob from playing individually for every wedding, anniversary, birthday, funeral, theater production, or special event requests. He was the regular organist for St. Gregory Catholic Church for more than 55 years.

Bob was actively engaged in the community and economic development of Marysville having served and led organizations fostering change and improvement. This included various executive positions such as president of Marysville Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club, Marysville Country Club, past commander of American Legion Post 163, 4th&nbsp;Degree and past Grand Knight for Knights of Columbus, chair and board member for Community Memorial Hospital and the Memorial Healthcare Foundation, regional representative of the American Red Cross and committee member/leader for economic development groups and building committees. Most recently, he was a board director for the latest reconstruction of the St, Gregory Catholic Church. His focus was to serve others.

Bob was preceded in death by his wife Dorothy “Dottie” (Vlasin) Welch; sister Jean Marie Kenny; and youngest son David Lee Welch.&nbsp;

Survivors include son Michael (Anita) Welch; daughter Susan Welch; daughter-in-law Kelly Welch; grandchildren Keith, Kate, Eric, Shawn, Dan, and Kyle. Great-grandchildren number six with one on the way.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Marshall County Arts Council, Marysville Union Pacific Depot Preservation Society, or the Marysville Community Foundation.

Funeral services are provided by Bob’s grandson, Dan Welch in partnership with Chaput-Buoy Funeral Home, Concordia, Kansas.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.nsrfh.com/obituary/marie-franson">Obituary | Marie Franson of Clay Center, Kansas | Neill-Schwensen-Rook Funeral Home (nsrfh.com)</a>

Marie Franson passed away the morning of Sunday, May 29, 2022. She was surrounded by family in her final days. Marie was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great grandmother during her incredible 97 years. She was blessed to live independently in her own home until just a few weeks ago.

Marie had a long and full life. She was born on January 21, 1925, in the rural Longford area to two loving parents, Daniel and Emma Bach. She was the youngest of her siblings-Clifford, Eva, and Claudine-who doted on her while growing up, and Marie enjoyed close relationships with them and their families throughout her life. She spent her younger years on the family farm surrounded by extended family and had fond memories of both of her grandfathers, August Bach and Christian Bletscher, who lived in the household at different times when she was a child. Marie attended rural grade school in Longford and graduated from Clay County Community High School in 1942.

Marie married Blake Franson in March of 1945 in Clay Center. They settled on the Franson farm north of town in Garfield Township. Marie moved to Clay Center in 1975 after Blake's passing in 1973. She worked outside of the home throughout most of her life, including Lincoln Heights grocery store and at Gibson's, where she served as assistant manager until her retirement in her mid-seventies.

Marie was a member of St. Paul Lutheran Church and had a strong faith that guided her throughout her life. She was a talented seamstress, and she enjoyed sewing clothing and quilts, as well as embroidery and craft work. Marie loved to play card games with friends and family and passed down her competitive nature to many of her descendants. Marie spoiled her family with her amazing cooking, and she loved nothing more than ignoring all protests while pushing an extra helping of dinner or an extra scoop of ice cream onto her grandkids. She enjoyed going to coffee with friends, traveling, reading, gardening, and­ watching the birds and squirrels in her backyard. Above all, she loved spending time with family.

Marie was preceded in death by her husband Blake Franson, her stepson Gary Franson, her daughter­ in-law Linda Franson, and her great-granddaughter Morgan Leigh Fajen. 

She is survived and missed by her so, Gailen Franso, of Clay Center, her son-in-law and daughte, John and Pam Faje, of Riley, and daughter-in-law Lee Campbell of Clay Center. She also leaves behind grandchildren Tyna Fajen, Pat James and husband Lon, Jeannie Franson, and Jim Franson and wife Shelli-all of Clay Center, KS; John Fajen, Jr. and wife Cinnamon of Riley, KS; Angie Franson and husband Justin Dean of Perry, KS; Justin Fajen and wife Deana of Kansas City, MO; Jake Fajen and wife Erin of Lenexa, KS; and Jeremy Fajen and fiancée Michele Jesse of Riley, KS; along with 16 great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.

We are grateful for the length of her life and the time we had to spend with her, and we will always feel her presence in our hearts.

Visitation will be Friday, June 3, 2022, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Neill-Schwensen-Rook Funeral Home.

Services will be held at St. Paul's Lutheran Church at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 4, 2022.

<a href="https://www.yazelmeglifh.com/obituaries/james-hay-1">James Hay Obituary 2022 - Yazel - Megli Funeral Homes (yazelmeglifh.com)</a>

James Arthur Hay, 84 of Herington, passed away on May 30, 2022, at his home in Herington, KS. He was born on November 10, 1937, to Albert Hay and Flora Downy in Soldier, KS.

James grew up in the Onaga area attending local schools and graduating from Onaga High School with the class of 1955. As a child, James was led to his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ by one of his schoolteachers during his junior high school years. Also, as a school kid he was very active in FFA. 

James enlisted into the United States Army on September 1, 1960, where he spent 7 ½ years as an auto repairman. 

On October 21, 1962, James married the love of his life Rita Corcoran in Onaga, KS. This union was blessed with three children. James retired from the railroad after 4-plus years and many miles traveling the country. After retiring from the railroad, he went to work for Lyon Township as a clerk, treasure, and patrolman, running a road grader.

In his free time James loved mending fences on his property, going to reunions of his military group, and fishing. What he loved the most was going to the mountains in Colorado with his family and taking yearly fishing trips to the mountains. James was an active member of the First Baptist Church of Herington. Family was very important to James.

James is survived by his wife of almost 60 years, Rita, of the home, son Rex Hay and wife Karen, daughters Renae Hay, and Rosalyn Lane and husband Jay, grandchildren Megan Hay, Shelby Hay, Aaron Lane, Abigail Hay, Cassie Lane, Benjamin Hay, Montgomery Hay, and Caoimhe Hay, and great-grandchild Zander.&nbsp; 

He is preceded in death by his parents, infant sister Angella Hay, brother Stanley Hay, sister Helen Worthington, and grandson Proinsias Hay.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Yazel-Megli Funeral Home Herington Chapel is serving the family.

Family will receive guests on Sunday, June 6 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Yazel-Megli Funeral Home, 404 S. Broadway, Herington, KS 67449.

James Arthur Hay

<a href="https://www.yazelmeglifh.com/obituaries/shirley-dix-1">Shirley Dix Obituary 2022 - Yazel - Megli Funeral Homes (yazelmeglifh.com)</a>

Shirley L. Dix, 79, of Topeka, passed away Monday, May 30, 2022, at Stormont Vail Hospital, Topeka. She was born June 6, 1942, on her grandparent’s farm near Burdick, Kan., to Ernest and Leah (Nely) Cheever.

She graduated from Centre High School with the class of 1962.

On June 6, 1984, she married Gerald R. Dix at the Herington United Methodist Church Parsonage. They made their home in Delavan before moving to Herington in May 2005. Shirley moved to Topeka in May 2014 to be closer to her greatest joy, her grandson Dakota.

Shirley worked many jobs as a waitress for Mom’s Café, at Western Auto and later in the meat department of Stiles Thriftway before becoming a mother and homemaker.

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

September 15, 1927 ~ May 24, 2022 (age 94)

Darlene Mack, 94, Eaglecrest resident, passed into the arms of her Lord, May 24, 2022.

She was born Leona Darlene Chizek, September 15, 1927, in Norway, Kansas to Charles and Edith (Ames) Chizek. The family included a younger sister, Anita.

After graduation from Linn High School, she married Orrel Dale Mack from rural Clay Center. They had one daughter, Jeanette. Dale, the love of her life, died in 1984.

Darlene had many passions including cooking, sewing, reading and music. She played piano and gave lessons. Her lovely voice enhanced many special occasions. She was a member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Linn, and church organist for over 40 years and, also, directed the choir. Along with singing the soprano solo in the Linn Community Chorus at the annual Messiah presentation for many years, she sang with the Salina Chorale and was an active member of the Salina Symphony Guild. She was always interested in education and the young people of her community.

She loved to travel both in the U.S. and abroad. Some of her favorite trips were to California, the east coast, South Dakota and to Texas to see her grandchildren. She made fabulous trips to Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Alaska.

Both the Order of the Eastern Star and P.E.O. were important in Darlene’s life. She joined Star in 1949 and served as Worthy Matron of Greenleaf Chapter #208 in 1965 with her husband, Dale, as Worthy Patron. She was honored to serve as Worthy Grand Matron of Kansas in 1970-71. In 1976, she was elected a Grand Trustee and served 19 years in that capacity. She served many years on the Jurisprudence Committee and Scholarship&nbsp; Board. After moving to Salina in 1988, she joined Chapter&nbsp; BX-PEO, serving several years as treasurer and President from 1998-2000. She was chairwoman of the state convention in 2002. She thoroughly enjoyed this organization and her sisters.
