October 8, 1966 ~ March 20, 2022 (age 55)

Virginia “Ginny” Leigh Deiser, 55, died peacefully on March 20, 2022, in Hutchinson, KS. Ginny was born to Paul Magliery and Merideth (Winterbottom) Magliery in Kissimmee, FL on October 8, 1966. She was preceded in death by her father Paul Magliery. 

She is survived by her loving family including; husband of 25 years, Timothy Deiser, of Hutchinson, KS; mother Merideth Winterbottom Magliery and partner Nile of Lindsborg, KS; brother Tom Magliery and his wife Lisa of Vancouver, BC, Canada; daughters, Amanda Terrel and her husband Scott of Wellington, KS, Amber Weaver and her husband Donnie of Chase, KS, and Brandi Deiser and her partner James of North Vernon, IN; son Kagney Deiser of St. Joe, MO; six grandchildren, Natilee, Michael, Kamden, Kagney Jr., Kyler, and Keeliann; 11 nieces and nephews, 26 great nieces and nephews, and one great-great niece. We can’t forget her beloved dog Kevin.

Ginny had this light about her that when she would walk into a room, she quickly became everyone’s favorite person to be around. 

Ginny spent many years in the healthcare field and transitioned into the world of fast food. She loved serving others and making others happy and doing so with the brightest smile. 

She had an undying love for all things pigs, Jeff Dunham, and Jon Bon Jovi, and we would often joke with her on how he was her celebrity husband. Ginny always had a smile no matter what she was going through and her key phrase in life was “laughter is the best medicine.” She lived by that saying, to the fullest extent.

Celebration of life service: 11:00 a.m., Monday, March 28, 2022, at Parsons Funeral Home, Ellsworth.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Hutchinson Humane Society, c/o Parsons Funeral Home, P.O. Box 45, Ellsworth, KS 67439.&nbsp;

Virginia Patton

<a href="https://www.nsrfh.com/obituary/lora-jones">Obituary | Lora Jones | Neill-Schwensen-Rook Funeral Home (nsrfh.com)</a>

Born July 12, 1939 in Clay Center, KS / Died March 17, 2022 in Tucson, AZ

Daughter of Asahel Burt and Martha Louise (Lovett) Eustace

Married to William Lee Jones on June 2, 1960 in Wakefield, Kansas

Lora was preceded in death by her husband Billy on January 22, 1996.

They have two sons: Weston William Jones married to Sheri Michelle (Stockton) in Tucson, AZ and Dathan Burt Jones in Stafford, Kansas

Lora is survived by her sons, Sheri, two grandsons and their wives, and eight great-grandchildren.

Lora was born and raised in Wakefield, Kansas where she grew up on the family farm down lickety split.&nbsp; She loved sitting on the creek bank, talking with all of her animal friends and collecting turtles.&nbsp;

 She was the oldest of three children and she is survived by her brother Burt Edwin Eustace, married to Linda Sue Bray, and her sister Jean Olinda (Eustace) Youngsteadt, married to Norman William Youngsteadt, who have a daughter Elsa.&nbsp; 

Lora graduated from Wakefield High School, where she met Billy and then attended Kansas State Teachers College at Emporia.&nbsp; She excelled in her studies and earned her degree with a double major in math and home economics.&nbsp; It was a time when women didn’t major in math, but she loved math and pushed to be a math major; she was very proud of her accomplishments during her time at Emporia.&nbsp; 

After graduating from college she married Billy and they moved to Oskaloosa, Kansas where she began her 20+ year teaching career, mostly teaching middle school math.&nbsp; 

In the 70s, Lora developed a love for long distance running and became quite accomplished in the middle distance races in NE Kansas, winning several awards including winning races at the KU Relays.&nbsp; Lora also had a love of art and created many wonderful paintings and drawings over the years. &nbsp;

In 1983 Billy and Lora moved to Deerfield, Kansas and she continued teaching middle school math at Holcomb, Kansas.&nbsp; 

In the early 90s Lora went back to school and earned her degree in nursing. After Billy passed in 1996 Lora began a nearly 20-year career as an RN working for two hospitals in Garden City and Lakin, Kansas where she cared for patients and families in nursing homes.&nbsp; Her mother, Martha, was the example for the loving care that Lora would go on to provide.&nbsp; During Lora’s childhood and through her life Martha was always caring for and loving on an elderly family member or family friends living in the Eustace household.

Later in life Lora enjoyed her travels of the world.&nbsp; She was fortunate enough to travel throughout Europe and the MiddleEast.&nbsp; 

She retired from nursing in 2015 and moved to Tucson, Arizona in July of 2016.&nbsp; Here last years were spent sharing love and stories with her friends in Broadway Proper and Ocotillo House.&nbsp; She was able to spoil all of her little great-grandchildren by spending time with them reading and playing.&nbsp;

Lora met and accepted her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (the Jewish Messiah) as a child and was a faithful follower of Him her whole life.&nbsp; She made sure to introduce Him to her children and many others.&nbsp; She was a lifelong member of the Order of the Eastern Star and United Methodist Women.&nbsp; She was very involved in her churches, spending many years teaching Sunday School. &nbsp;In her last days, she was holding onto Him and repeated Psalm 23:&nbsp; The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want!&nbsp; She went to his loving, pierced hands at 1:15 in the morning on March 17, 2022.&nbsp;

There is no more pain, there is no more suffering and there are no more tears…She is at peace and she is Home.

Services are planned for Thursday, June 2 in Wakefield, Kansas.

Helen Fay Sorenson, 80, of Herington Kansas, passed away peacefully at Menorah Medical Center, in Overland Park on March 16, 2022. She was born on August 30, 1941 to Paul and Ida Schlesener in Herington, and was baptized into her faith on September 21, 1941.&nbsp;

Helen lived in Herington her entire life. She attended parochial and public schools, and graduated with the class of 1959. She confirmed her faith on April 17, 1955 at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church, where she remained a lifelong member. 

On May 6, 1962, Helen married the love of her life, Ronald Sorenson, and together they were blessed with four children. So began her journey on earth being a homemaker and mother.&nbsp;

Although Helen was limited by eyesight, her other senses served her well, and invoked her to passionately witness and share her faith with many friends, classmates, EHU, Red Hat, Tabitha Society, and church members. Helen was an avid music lover, and always had a song in her heart, and on her mind. She preferred the Christian and gospel genres. Above all, her greatest joy in life was when she could spend time with her children and grandchildren.&nbsp;

Helen is survived by her daughters Ronda Strome (Rob) of Herington, Susan Buckbee (Greg) of Arkansas City, Billi Jo Fielder (Jason) of Kansas City; son Steve Sorenson of Herington; siblings Paul Dean Schlesener of Herington, Ida Cheever (Kenny) of Abilene, Lorna Morgan (Jeff) of Hope; grandchildren Ronson Strome (Brittany), Ronessa Stueve (Sam), Madeline and Gabe Buckbee, and Conner Fielder; great-grandchildren Maxon and Lennon Stueve, and Wesleigh Strome; and a host of nieces and nephews.

Verna M. Harder, 86, of Newton passed away peacefully on the evening of Sunday, March 20,2022.

Verna was born Verna Mae Chapple to George Harold Chapple and Anna Mary (Sommerfeld) Chapple on September 18, 1935.&nbsp; Her parents preceded her in death.&nbsp; Verna was preceded in death by Carroll L. Harder, her husband of 55 years.&nbsp; Verna is survived by sons Randy (Lori) and David (Vicki); grandsons Todd (Jaime), Andrew (Lorisa) and Alex; and great grandchildren Austin, Lillian, Sophie, Allison, Addyson, Gemma, and Reese.

Verna grew up attending Gem School just down the road from where she grew up.&nbsp; She was involved in the Macon 4-H club and later was part of the first group of Gem Go-Getters 4-H club.&nbsp; She attended high school at Hesston Mennonite Academy.&nbsp; She then attended Kansas State Teachers College in Emporia.&nbsp; After teachers’ college, she taught at Countryside School between Whitewater, Elbing and Potwin.&nbsp; This is where she met her husband, Carroll.&nbsp; They were married on May 4, 1957.

Carroll and Verna were long time active members of Swiss Church in Whitewater, which is now Whitewater Community Church. &nbsp;Verna taught Sunday School and VBS while in high school and later was superintendent of the primary department when she was in college.&nbsp; While at Swiss Mennonite Church, both Carroll and Verna taught various age groups at many different times.&nbsp; Ponca Bible Camp was a big part of their lives up until their sons were old enough to attend.&nbsp; Carroll worked as a counselor and Verna in the kitchen.

Carroll and Verna started Harder Service in the early 1960s.&nbsp; The company later became known as Harder Construction.&nbsp; Verna was the company’s bookkeeper, go-fer, and she put a lot of miles on the trucks she drove.

In retirement, Kenny and Marilyn enjoyed traveling with friends and visiting family.&nbsp; He was very involved in the Lindsborg community and was a member of Salemsborg Lutheran Church.&nbsp; He was also active in Kiwanis and the Lindsborg Quarterback Club and continually advocated for Lindsborg businesses and tourism. &nbsp; Family was everything to Kenny.&nbsp; They faithfully attended activities of their children and grandchildren.&nbsp; If he wasn’t at a ballgame,&nbsp; he was asking if you wanted to make a difference by making a donation to Bethany College because we all know, you couldn’t take it with you. &nbsp;

Kenny is survived by his wife of 63 years, Marilyn, his sister Marilyn Hendrix of McPherson,&nbsp; and children Karla Wright (John) of Boerne, TX, Kristin Slater (Mike) of Colorado Springs, CO, Steven (Roxie) of Lindsborg, and Eric (Ronda) of Lindsborg.&nbsp; He was also blessed with eight grandchildren: Christie Vial (Brian), Erin Fair (Mitchell), Kara Slater, Kelsey Madl (Adam), Kaj Sjogren, Kort Sjogren, Theron Sjogren, Haven Sjogren, and six great-grandchildren.

A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, April 2, 2022 at 3:00 p.m. at Salemsborg Lutheran Church, Smolan, Kansas.&nbsp;

Award winning chef and talented radio personality, Brother Ken’s love of his family and friends did not end with his death. Kenneth Dale Scates was called home to God on March 18, 2022, while surrounded by loved ones.

Ken started working in radio at the age of 14 and was soon dubbed “Wild Ken Cody “ and later, “Brother Ken.”

After his service in the Vietnam war, he returned to radio where he worked as a DJ and band promoter in Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma. He then married the love of his life, Jill Anne Scates, and moved to Salina, Kansas.

Ken’s humorous and passionate creativity spilled into all facets of his life, bringing laughter and good times to everyone around him. After retirement, Ken pursued his interest in cooking, winning awards in barbeque and other cooking competitions, and creating the YouTube channel, Foodi Daddi.

No matter where you came from, who you were, your politics or religion, finances or status, size, color, or shape, Ken would welcome you and give you the shirt off his back. Ken’s friends and family will keep alive his legacy by keeping their hearts open without judgment.

Our beloved Ken is preceded in death by his parents John and Mary; parents-in-law Lee and Carol (Rutz); sister Ila Mae; brothers Johnny, Lee, Ray, Red, and Wayne; daughter Misty; son Bobby; and granddaughter Rayven (Blaha).

Ken is survived by numerous friends and his adoring family; wife Jill; sons Shane, Chad, and Josh (Exline); daughters Kandi and Kelly (Ekeler); 20 grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren.

A celebration of life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 2, 2022, at Roselawn Heights Memorial Park, 1920 E Crawford St., Salina.

Heather Annette Fields, 53, of McPherson, Kansas, passed away at 11:17 p.m., Wednesday, March 16th, 2022 at Hospice House, Hutchinson, following a courageous battle with cancer. Heather was born in Enid, Oklahoma on October 17, 1968, a daughter of Melinda Lee (Tucker) and Bobby Clay Hein. Heather attended Lincoln Elementary School, McPherson Park School, McPherson Junior High, and graduated from McPherson High School, McPherson, Kansas in 1987. She attended Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kansas for two years and graduated from Emporia State University, Emporia, Kansas in 1991. Heather Annette Hein was united in marriage to Jeffrey Oren Fields on June 4, 1988 at First Baptist Church, McPherson, Kansas. The young couple established their first home together in Manhattan, Kansas for a year. They then moved to Emporia, Kansas for two years, then Hays, Kansas for two years prior to making their home in McPherson in 1993.
