Charles (Chuck) Wayne Seifert went to heaven to be with his heavenly father on February 16, 2022. Chuck was born on February 25, 1949 in Marion, Kansas to Leland and Hilda (Domke) Seifert. He was the first of four sons. 

He accepted the Lord as his Savior at 10 years old. 

He attended school in Marion for 12 years, graduating in 1967. He attended college at Colorado State University in Ft. Collins, Co. He received his bachelor of science degree in forest management. He worked for the state of Colorado for two years as a forest ranger. He then went to work as a lumberjack until he joined his father, Leland and his brother Kenny, in the construction business. Chuck continued in the construction business. 

While in Texas he met and married his wife, Gloria, in August 1987. Chuck continued in the construction business building total confinement dairy facilities. Chuck and Gloria moved to Florida in 1989 were he built dairies for the next six years.&nbsp;

In 1994 they moved to Marion for them to begin farming. The love of farming started for Chuck at the age of six years old when his dad put him on a tractor to work the ground in preparation for planting. Chuck liked everything about farming but combining crops was his true love. In October after completing his second round of chemo treatment he got back to Marion where he got on the combine and combined that day and the next. He was so very happy at that time. Chuck loved hunting and fishing. After harvest each year he could be found with his gun hunting quail and pheasant. After and before hunting season you could find him and his friend Les in Colorado shooting prairie dogs or at one of the lakes fishing. Chuck was a quite man (most of the time).

Chuck is survived by his wife Gloria; his brother Don (Marilee) Seifert of Collidge, AZ; two stepsons Mike (Kim) Shoemaker of Baytown, Tx and Cory Shoemaker of Junction City, KS; three stepgrandchildren, Quinn, Kaylee and Hannah Shoemaker; one nephew Byron Seifert, Tasha Curtis, Rachel Seifert Sullivan, Sarah Anderson and Lydia Seifert and many great nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father Leland, his mother Hilda and two brothers Kenny and Dean. Chuck will be missed by his family and many, many friends. After Chuck was diagnosed with leukemia, his psycholologist would ask him what he did to relieve stress, which was a question he loved. He would tell them "he didn't have stress. He shot prairie dogs." Celebration of Life 11:00 a.m. Friday, February 25, 2022 at Strassburg Baptist Church, rural Marion.

<a href="https://www.bachelor-surber.com/obituary/Helen-West">Obituary for Helen M. (Pedersen) West | Bachelor-Surber Funeral Home</a>

March 28, 1932 ~ February 18, 2022 (age 89)

Helen Marie West, daughter of Martin R. Pedersen and Maybelle (Bronston) Pedersen was born March 28, 1932, in rural Clifton/Vining Kansas, and passed away on February 18, 2022, at Republic County Hospital, Belleville, Kansas.

Helen was united in marriage to Ralph B. West on January 30, 1950, in Mankato, Kansas. To this union, seven children were born: Bernadine, Jim, Debbie, Tom, Nancy, Sandra, Cindy.&nbsp;&nbsp; Helen is a member of Central Christian Church, Belleville, Kansas.

She was preceded in death by her parents Martin and Maybelle Pedersen, husband Ralph B. West, one infant daughter, Bernadine, one son, Thomas, son-in-law Guy Tabor, son-in-law Curt Boyles, two sisters, one brother.

Helen is survived by one son, James West of Cuba, KS, four daughters, Debbie Tabor of Cuba, KS, Nancy McNutt (Chris) of Augusta, KS, Sandra Boyles of Burr Oak, KS, Cindy Carter (Larry) of Salina, KS, 12 grandchildren: Kailee Carter, Kylee Carter, Megan Badger (Adam), Matt Boyles (Kristin), Travis Boyles, Carmen Bunck (Ben), Missi Smitherman (Kyle), James McNutt, April Mayorga (Tim), Christina Adsit (Jerry), Frank Tabor (Laurie), Roscoe Tabor (Loni), 22 great-grandchildren, one great-great-grandchild, &nbsp;nieces and nephews, other relatives and many friends.

Helen’s early years were spent on a farm in rural Clifton, Kansas where she attended a country school. Her family moved into Vining/Clifton where she attended high school. 

She met the love of her life, Ralph West on a blind double date in her senior year of high school She always joked he was supposed to date the other girl but liked her better! 

After marriage, the couple lived in Manhattan KS, and South Bend, Indiana. &nbsp;From there, the family made their home in Clifton, Kansas for several years, then moved to the Cuba, Kansas community in 1972.&nbsp; 

Helen worked as a nurse’s aide and a medication aide for 29 years in the Belleville area.&nbsp; She was a homemaker and enjoyed gardening, canning, cooking, embroidery, needlepoint, her flowers, (especially the moonflowers!), nature, her pets, and spending time with family and friends. She was proud of her canned goods; her pickled beets, tomatoes, peaches, and green beans were the best! 

She was continually willing to lend a hand to anyone and was active in the community and church. She had a wonderful sense of humor and was known to be ornery at times. She was friendly to everyone, had a beautiful smile, and would always ask “how are you?” &nbsp;She was adventurous and was always ready to try new things, including riding motorcycles, target shooting, riding rollercoasters, boating, and just having fun with her family. 

She will be forever known for her strong spirit, generous nature, and the fact she always thought of others before herself. She taught us true joy comes from giving, not receiving, how to be strong and carry on in the face of hardship, that true riches do not come from things we own, but rather from the love of family and friends, and that we must have the courage to love wholly, completely, and unconditionally. &nbsp;We should all try to be more like Helen. We will miss her more than words can say. “Bye For Now.”

Funeral services will be held at 10:00 AM, Saturday, February 26, 2022, at Central Christian Church, Belleville, KS, conducted by Pastor Jacob Rice.

A light meal will be served after the service. &nbsp;Interment will follow at Zion Lutheran Cemetery, rural Brantford, KS.

He joined the United States Marine Corps in 1976 and upon his return from boot camp, Rob married the love of his life Janet “Jan” Crawford on June 5, 1976, in Clay Center. The young couple lived in California, Tennessee, and North Carolina while Rob served in the Marines. He left the Marine Corps in 1980 and went to the Kansas Highway Patrol Academy. Rob was stationed at Marion, Kansas when he graduated from the academy, and they made Marion their home. He served with the KHP for 27 years, retiring as a firearms and ordinance instructor in 2007. 

After retirement, Rob ran successfully for the office of the sheriff of Marion County. He has served as the Marion County Sheriff for three terms and was in the midst of his fourth term in the office. 

Rob was an avid golfer at the Hillsboro Municipal Golf Course, and he also enjoyed hunting. He was a member of the Post 366 of the American Legion in Hillsboro, the Kansas Sheriff’s Association and so many other activities. Rob involved himself with everything and everyone because of his sense of service to others.

 His greatest joy in life was his family. He is survived by his wife Jan Craft of Marion, father Norman Craft of Marion, son Shaun Craft of Marion, grandchildren Iliana, Gannon, and Colt Craft, brother Steve (Valentina) Craft of Brazil, brothers-in-law Randy Crawford of Hillsboro and Robert (Cheryl) Crawford of Clyde, KS and many nieces and nephews.&nbsp;

Rob passed away on Wednesday February 16, 2022, at Stormont Vail Medical Center in Topeka. 

He is preceded in death by his mother Joyce, and daughter-in-law Jenny Craft. 

Rob’s family will gather with friends on Saturday, February 26, 2022, at 10:30 a.m. at the Marion Sports and Aquatic Center for his memorial service led by Pastor Carl Helm of the First Christian Church.

<a href="https://www.roselawnsalina.com/obituary/vicki-mccune">Obituary | Vicki Ann McCune of Salina, Kansas | Roselawn Mortuary and Memorial Park (roselawnsalina.com)</a>

Salina: Vicki Ann Beard McCune, 65, passed through this earthly veil on Friday, February 11th, 2022. She was born to Willie and Jeanann Hepner Beard on July 3rd, 1956, in Salina, Kansas. Vicki graduated from Salina Central High School in 1974.

As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Vicki’s love for the Lord and His little children was evident as she faithfully taught them for many years in their primary Sunday school classes. Vicki was an avid genealogist and a member of the Smoky Valley Genealogical Society. She retired from working with The Services for the Blind Division of the State of Kansas Social and Rehabilitative Services.

Vicki greatly loved her family and friends. She was a devoted niece and daughter as she was the main caretaker to her ailing aunt and uncle and later her parents until their deaths.

If you were fortunate enough to know Vicki, you know that she cared so completely for people. It didn't matter if she knew you for five minutes or fifty years, she'd listen to any problem and rejoice at any success you had. She brightened the lives of those she knew.

Vicki had long been dealing with a number of health issues and fought so hard for years to overcome them. Though our hearts grieve for the loss, there is peace in knowing that she now rests from her mortal challenges.

&nbsp;Vicki was preceded in death by her parents; brother Dennis Wheeler; and niece Nicola Beard.

She is survived by her son Scott Breeden, of Lakewood, Colorado; brothers Michael Wheeler and Robert Beard, of Salina; and nephews Adam Beard, Bretton Beard, and Cole Tshudy. &nbsp;

Viewing will be held Monday, the 21st&nbsp;from 4:00 to 6:00 at Roselawn Heights Memorial Park 1920 E. Crawford St. A graveside service will be held at 11:00 Tuesday morning, February 22nd, 2022, at Roselawn Memorial Park 1920 E. Crawford St.

In lieu of flowers Vicki requested donations to be given to the Smoky Valley Genealogical Society or the Family History Center of the Salina Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

(Please Note, If the weather is bad, the service will be moved inside to the chapel.)

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

September 6, 1948 ~ February 14, 2022 (age 73)

Collin John Francis&nbsp;was born on September 6, 1948, at St. John's Hospital in Salina, Kansas. He passed away, surrounded by family, on February 14, 2022, from complications of pneumonia. 

He was preceded in death by his parents Vike and Yvonne Francis; two brothers, Trey and Sean Francis; and his lovely wife of 43 years, Libby Vering Francis. 

He is survived by three daughters, Shannon Simoneau, Erin Francis, and Colleen Francis, and three wonderful granddaughters, Lauren Simoneau, Emma Simoneau, and Libby Francis-Marshal, all of Kansas City, MO. He loved each of them very much. His storytelling and humor will be missed greatly.

Ever an entrepreneur and hard worker, Collin opened and managed several businesses throughout his life. He spent his younger days managing several fast-food restaurants. He and his wife, Libby, started many business ventures including restaurants, a free newspaper, and an antique and furniture refinishing shop. They worked in the shop together for 20 years. With his brother and dear friends, he was able to enjoy his love of the car business, using his salesmanship, charisma, and humor with his customers. In 2004, Collin and Libby retired happily together.

He truly loved music and the nostalgia it evoked. With an endless supply of music and stories, he shared fond memories with all that would listen. He enjoyed making tapes for friends and collected over 50,000 records which he later sold, one by one, on eBay along with post cards, stamps, military medals, and other items collected over the years from auctions and flea markets. In 2011, a year after his beloved wife passed away, he moved to Branson, MO, where he attended hundreds of live shows over nine years.

Collin loved to write poetry and did so almost daily since watching the 1968 Elvis: The Comeback Special. He was also teaching himself to play the guitar and harmonica. He will miss college football games (especially Kansas State University football) and the TV show Survivor.

He will miss his friends and family but looks forward to being reunited with the love of his life, his dear wife Libby. Their favorite quote was "Love is a friendship that has caught on fire." Theirs sure did!

The funeral services for Collin Francis scheduled for Sat. Feb 19 have been postponed due to COVID-19. A future date will be announced.

Memorials are suggested to the Salina Community Theater.
