Carolyn Ann Burt passed away peacefully in her home on October 7, 2024. Born on June 11, 1947, to Harold and Katherine “Kitty” Shannon, Carolyn shared over forty years of love and life with her late husband, Paul Eugene Burt.

For more than thirty years, Carolyn opened her heart and home as a foster parent, welcoming over 1,000 children into her life. To so many of them, she was simply “Mom,” and she created one of the biggest families imaginable—full of children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, and more. It wasn’t unusual to see foster children from twenty years ago stopping by, remembering fondly the warmth and love they found in her home. Carolyn loved each of her children fiercely and took great pride in their lives and accomplishments.

To an enormous group of children, she was “grandma,” and her home was a place of joy and adventure. It was the house where kids played elaborate games of house in the basement, took joyrides in the golf cart, stole Cherry Pepsi’s from the storage closet, and swung from the backyard tree until they felt like they could touch the sky. As those children grew older, her home remained a safe haven—no matter the time or reason, it was always a place where you could come back, where new generations met grandma and grandpa, and where love continued to grow.

Carolyn leaves behind a legacy of love and a host of family and friends who will cherish her memory forever. She is preceded in death by her husband, Paul Eugene Burt; her parents, Harold Allison Shannon and Katherine “Kitty” Shannon; her siblings, Richard Shannon and Connie Shannon; her children, Carol Lee Ryder, Becky Ferguson, Shanne Jonte, Connie Rodriguez; and her grandchild, Journi Maas.

She is survived by her sibling, Harold Gene Shannon and his wife Cece; her children Scott Maas, Jason Maas and his wife Andrea, Adam Burt, Chastity Burt, Roberta Cart, Susan Pavioni, Staci Ellison and her husband Todd, Kelly Burt and his wife Allie, and Stephani Greytak and her husband Larry; as well as many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends.

A private burial will be held at a later date.

Richard Jack Gould

Frankie. B. Uncle B. Pappy. Grandpappy. Everyone had a name for him besides his actual name, Franklin Henry Berens. His ability to make people laugh and to feel at ease around him made him a joy to be with, and the nicknames abound.&nbsp;

50 years a Kansas resident, by way of Wilmington, Delaware, Frank’s journey was complicated, but one of enduring love that was unfettered by distance. Born to Alema and Norbert Berens on 4/30/1947, he was raised from an early age by his Aunt Lois and Uncle Bob Peoples, whom he lovingly called Mommy Lois and Daddy Bob, and grew up with his sisters, Ruth and Lois Ellen, and his brother, Alan. Frank was loved and cared for as their own, which influenced Frank’s outlook on family later in his life.&nbsp;

Frank attended McPherson College, graduating in 1972 with a major in English, which was a great source of pride for him and his family. After graduation, he set out across the U.S. with his best friend, Bob Knechtal, traveling from coast to coast, seeing avocado farms in California, Native American settlements in the southwest and finally settling back in McPherson. Frank was a machinist for most of his adult life, but returned to college in his late 50s to get his teaching degree, at which point he became a substitute teacher and para educator for special education students in the Emporia school district.

Frank met the love of his life, and devoted wife of 48 years, Marcie Colleen Baird in the fall of 1975, and they married on August 21st, 1976, in McPherson, KS. Frank and Marcie had two children, Robert Jesse and Katherine Alema, in 1977 and 1979 respectively. Frank filled his family’s life with laughter, singing, music, adventure and a robust world view.&nbsp;

Frank was a voracious reader who never lost his desire to learn, especially passionate about world history. He was a music lover and dedicated fan of the Philadelphia Phillies. And while he had left the east coast, his love for a good cheesesteak persisted. During his college years, he made enduring friendships in the Mug Club that was the source of great stories and wonderful memories for Frank.

Frank passed away on Thursday, October 10, 2024, surrounded by family at his home in Buhler.&nbsp; He was 77 years old.

Frank is preceded in death by his mother Alema, father Norbert, aunt and uncle Lois and Robert Peoples, and brother Alan Peoples.&nbsp;

He is survived by his beloved wife Marcie Berens, son Robert and his wife Danielle, his daughter Katie and her husband Andy. Frank’s greatest joy was his grandchildren, Nicholas Berens, Jacob Berens, Grace Sears, Coleton Hines, Spencer Hines and Emmielynn Berens. He is also survived by his sisters, Ruth and her husband Herman, and Lois Ellen and her husband Jim.

The family will receive friends&nbsp;from 5:00 PM until 7:00 PM, Wednesday, October 16, 2024, at Stockham Family Funeral Home, McPherson.

In lieu of flowers, Frank would love&nbsp;&nbsp;donations to the Heifer International charitable organization, and they can be sent in care of Stockham Family Funeral Home,&nbsp;205 North Chestnut, McPherson, KS 67460.

Harlan “Lee” Enyart

Kenny Lee September 21, 1946 ~&nbsp;June 10, 2024

A brain tumor felled Kenny Lee and he died on June 10, 2024.&nbsp; Yet his heart never faltered.&nbsp; He was a very kind and compassionate man; an extraordinary father; and a person loved by many.&nbsp; Ken went out of his way to be helpful to others, even strangers.&nbsp; He was a humble person.&nbsp; He was also quite accomplished.

Kenny Lee was born on Sept. 21, 1946, in Brooklyn, New York.&nbsp; He was the second of three children of Helen and Larry Lee, Jr.&nbsp;

Kenny was a trailblazer, athlete, war hero, leader, and world traveler.&nbsp; In the 1950s, Kenny was one of very few Asian American child actors.&nbsp; He performed in the musical “The King and I” and in the comedy “The Teahouse of the August Moon.” &nbsp;While in the shows’ national touring companies he traveled twice across the United States.

A gifted athlete, Kenny was voted the outstanding back on Brooklyn’s Erasmus Hall High School football team. He was a running back on the Kansas Wesleyan University football team until a knee injury ended his career.&nbsp; Kenny won or placed in eight Salina Y racquetball competitions.&nbsp; He finished twenty half marathons and was delighted that he and his daughter Jeni were both finishers at the 2006 New York City marathon.

After he graduated KWU in 1969, Kenny was drafted into the United States Army.&nbsp; Serving in Vietnam – a 360° war without a front or rear – he was especially vulnerable as an Asian American because he could be mistaken for the enemy.&nbsp; Yet, Kenny was awarded two bronze stars for valor.&nbsp; The citation reads, “Under mortar, rocket propelled grenades, and machine gun fire - through his timely and courageous actions, Private Lee was instrumental in thwarting the enemy attack.&nbsp; He continued to keep himself exposed to additional enemy fire while assisting several of his wounded comrades into MEDEVAC helicopters.”&nbsp;

After receiving his master’s in physical education from Springfield College, Kenny returned to Salina and worked in the United States Postal Service.&nbsp; Kenny was proud of his 33-year career at the USPS.&nbsp; He worked his way up to Postmaster and was beloved by his colleagues.&nbsp;

After retirement Kenny traveled extensively.&nbsp; Mostly by cruise ship, except for Antarctica, he voyaged to all continents and toured more than 40 countries.&nbsp;

Kenny is survived by his daughter, Jeni Lee-Peterson, his son-in-law, Roman Peterson; his ex-wife Lee Ann Burwell; his estranged wife Susan Burt; his stepchildren, Spencer Burt, Emily Helm and Marieke Goates, and their families; and by his older brother, Larry Lee III, younger sister, Laurie Lee, and their families.

A celebration of Kenny’s life will be held at First Southern Baptist on Oct. 18th, 2024 at 11am with a luncheon to follow.

In lieu of flowers please send donations to KWU Alumni or &nbsp;Salina Animal Shelter, 329 North 2nd St, Salina Ks. 67401.

Kenny Lee

Paul Michael Holloway was born March 27, 1948, in the McPherson County General Hospital, McPherson, Kansas. He peacefully passed away in the late-night hours of October 7, 2024, reaching the age of 76.

His parents were Sherman C Holloway and Verna D Ellsworth-Lyon Holloway. He and his family lived on a farm about 2 miles to the north of Inman, Kansas, on the Inman-Conway blacktop. The family moved to Inman in the fall of 1954 and moved back to the farm in the fall of 1959. He attended Inman grade school until the middle of his 8th&nbsp;grade year when the family moved to Garden Grove, California, in February of 1962 and he completed his grade school education at Izaak Walton Junior High. He then attended and graduated from Garden Grove High School in 1966, Fullerton Junior College in 1969 and Cal-State University at Fullerton in September of 1970. He entered post-graduate studies and received his teacher’s certificate a year later. He taught at Loara High School in Anaheim, California, for two years. When the economy failed, he had no job and the family was having financial difficulties due to his father’s ill health after a heat stroke and subsequent brain strokes. He started work at Minute Temporary Help Services: first as an employee being sent out to various jobs and then as Office Manager in their Santa Ana office. He never forgot his experience in finding a body in the weeds next to the Bellflower Office while he was in training. It fundamentally changed his spiritual outlook on mortality and hell. He was an active member of the Garden Grove First Christian Youth Group and had many enjoyable times going with them to Gaviota Beach, Lake Arrowhead, Needles/Colorado River, Sequoia National Park and other places while he was a member.

The family had an opportunity to move back to Kansas in August of 1974 to a farm that was given to Sherman by Grandma Anna. By this time, the family consisted of two sons and two daughters, the oldest two having been married and living in California. Paul started working at the CertainTeed Pipe Plant in McPherson, Kansas in September of 1974 and was employed there until February of 2007 at which time he sought for, and found, employment at Gospel Tract and Bible Society in Moundridge, Kansas. He worked there until his retirement. He very much enjoyed the conversations with his co-workers and the communications with others done via letter, e-mails and phone conversations.

Paul had noticed people that appeared to be different in quality as well as in kind from the people with whom he associated: the peace that most had was the single-outstanding characteristic that commended itself to him. He remembered a conversation in the break-room at CertainTeed in which a Church of God in Christ Mennonite member had talked about his daughter’s upcoming wedding and how pleased he was that she was marrying a Christian man of the same faith as her. After he left the break-room, something prompted Paul to ask the others what they felt about this member’s faith and salvation. The interesting point was that they all felt that one could be saved in ‘that church’ but they didn’t feel confident in being saved in one another’s churches.

It was after that, the Lord began to lead Paul closer to the truth and His people. During his search for the truth, Paul was invited to attend services at the Zion Mennonite Church in August of 1980. He kept attending there and came under spiritual conviction of sin and finally, the Friday after Thanksgiving while attending revivals, gave his heart to the Lord and was born again. There was much learning that needed to be done, but he was baptized into the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite in January of 1982. He served in many positions including Sunday School teacher, Bible Study Committee, Sunday School Superintendent, Tract Committee, School Board and so on.

Paul felt led to attend Lone Tree church and there found many more friends and his life companion, Grace Koehn. They were united in marriage on September 28, 1986. He transferred back to Zion in 1993 when the eldest child started school, as Plainview School was much closer than Sunflower School. They had four children in 6 years, so Dad and Mom were kept busy. They lived on the Holloway home place where his parents and grandparents had lived. There were always gardens, livestock, and pets around and Dad enjoyed them all. He liked to hear singing and found a particular joy in hearing his children sing at home as a group. Dad developed Type 2 diabetes in his later years but managed to persevere in spite of it. He always enjoyed reading the bible and sharing his thoughts and queries with his friends and family.

He leaves behind his wife Grace, children: Caleb and wife Kristi; Daniel and wife Rebekah; Jemima; and Micah and wife Natalie. He is survived by three granddaughters, five grandsons; three sisters, Linda Paul, Chris Pitts, Janet Dickerson and a brother, John Sherman.

He was preceded in death by his parents; and sister Kathy Boone.

The family will receive friends from 6:00 PM until 8:00 PM, Saturday, October 12, 2024, at Zion Church of God in Christ, Mennonite, Inman, KS.&nbsp; The funeral service will be held at 10:30 AM, Sunday, October 13, at Zion Church of God in Christ, Mennonite.&nbsp; Burial will follow at Zion Church Cemetery.

Memorial donations can be made to Moundridge Manor in care of Stockham Family Funeral Home, 205 North Chestnut, McPherson, KS 67460.

Edwin William Dent, Jr., 82 passed away on October 04, 2024 in his home surrounded by his family.

Edwin was born on April 23, 1942 in Salina, KS to parents of Edwin William Sr and Mary Irene Pinkenburg.

Junior was working as a Farmer/Rancher for most of his life, starting since he was knee high with his dad and granddad. As a child he was very active in 4H and showed Ayrshire cattle. He graduated from Assaria High School in 1960. He married Robbie (aka Roberta) Breer, May 22, 1982. In this union they had 2 children, a son Weston W Dent and daughter Krystal L (Soler) Dent. Junior was a jack of all trades working hard and playing harder. He owned and operated several businesses including Kansas Insulation services, Dent’s White Park Cattle, Kansas Dorpers, and&nbsp;Dent’s Cattle Company. When he wasn’t working he enjoyed many hobbies which included working with horses, a dirt track race car driver, rodeo cowboy and an avid coyote hunter. Out of all of his hobbies he enjoyed coyote hunting the most as this was passed down for many generations and still holds true to this day as his wife, kids, and their kids enjoy going every winter.

For over 35 years Junior was well known all over the state putting on pedal tractor pull events under Dent’s Pedal Power. He enjoyed watching kids challenge themselves and the overall nature of competition which he instilled in his children and has continued to this day of holding pedal pulls that now his grandchildren compete in and help run.

Under his rough exterior he had a big heart and was always willing to help others in need in and around the community. He was always willing to give the shirt off his back and lend a helping hand. Even rough and tough cowboys had soft spots for those in need.

Edwin was preceded in death by his parents; Edwin Sr and Marie Dent.

Edwin is survived by Roberta E Dent (Breer); Children: Weston Dent and spouse Danya, their 2 children (Steven and Brylee), Krystal (Dent) Soler and spouse Christain, their 2 children (Cayson and Raylon); others: Diane Pate (Sister) of Andalusia, AL her 2 children (Todd and Tammi), Duane Dent (Brother) and his spouse Chris of Caldwell, ID and their 2 children (Shawn and KayLynn), and many other nieces and nephews.

Friends and family will be received Thursday, October 10, 2024 from 5-7 PM at Roselawn Memorial Heights Chapel, 1920 E. Crawford.

When he wasn’t working he enjoyed many hobbies which included working with horses, a dirt track race car driver, rodeo cowboy and an avid coyote hunter.

Landess Lee (Lanny) Norstrom, 77, passed away at 4:45 p.m. on October 5, 2024, in the presence of family members after an eight month battle with the effects of a stroke suffered in February of that year.&nbsp; Lanny was born to Landess L. and Leona Nerine (Milleson) Norstrom on January 3, 1947.&nbsp; He was the New Year's baby in McPherson, Kansas, having been born in McPherson Hospital.

Lanny spent his initial years on the family farm outside of Roxbury, Kansas.&nbsp; The family moved from the farm to the house that he grew up in on Walnut St. in Canton, Kansas.&nbsp; Lanny attended the Canton Schools, being active in the sports of football, basketball, and track and also participating in the band, playing the trombone.&nbsp; He graduated from Canton High School in 1965, receiving his diploma from his father who was a member of the Board of Education.

Lanny began his post-secondary education at McPherson College, attending for a year before deciding to take some time to explore what he wanted to do with the rest of his life.&nbsp; It was during this time that he went to work for the Hesston Corporation as a mechanic working on hay harvesting equipment in Arizona and California.

It was in the next year or two that he decided to continue his education in business, attending Washburn University in Topeka.&nbsp; It was here that he became engaged to his life-long love, Pam Lindberg.&nbsp; They began their life together while Lanny was still attending classes at Washburn.&nbsp; It was when they learned that their first born, Michael, was on the way that Lanny decided it was time to go back to work, getting a job in the offices of the Santa Fe Railroad in Topeka.

Both sons, Michael and Eric, were born in Topeka.&nbsp; Pam and Lanny were members of the Westside Christian Church in Topeka, serving as youth leaders.&nbsp; Many of the friendships formed there continue today.&nbsp; Pam and Lanny celebrated 50 years of marriage on June 20, 2019, being virtually inseparable over the years.

The decision was made to move back to rural Galva in 1974 to help with the Lindberg family farm.&nbsp; It was at this time that they moved to the Lindberg homestead five miles north of Galva, and raised their two sons, and spent the remainder of their lives.&nbsp; One of the few dark moments in their time together came on June 15, 1992, when the farm was visited by an F5 tornado.&nbsp; It was ¾ of a mile wide when it came by, leaving little behind.&nbsp; Thankfully, no one was injured, and they began the process of rebuilding “Gone With The Wind Estates”, as they appropriately now call the property.

Following in his father’s footsteps, Lanny who has always been involved with the schools, became a member of the Board of Education for 12 years, with a good chunk of that time serving as the president of the board.&nbsp; He handed both son’s their high school diplomas.&nbsp; Even after leaving the formal position on the board, Lanny was an ever present fan, whether his grandkids were involved in the activity or not.&nbsp; Many times, he would arrive at an event, home or away, so early that he would need to return from the stands to purchase a ticket once the ticket takers arrived.

Pam and Lanny joined the Galva Christian Church upon moving back to central Kansas.&nbsp; Lanny held many positions in the church, including president of the board, elder, and was recently honored with the title of elder emeritus.&nbsp; He was also very involved with the state men’s group for the Christian Church in Kansas, and with the establishment and improvement of Camp Tawakoni.

Upon their return to Galva, Lanny began working for the Home Telephone Company on April 1, 1975, and retired on December 31, 2009, after 39 and a half years.&nbsp; He proudly put a personalized license plate on his vehicle, “FONEMAN”, for all to see.&nbsp; Upon retiring from the phone office, he and Pam worked for several years with the rural water district.&nbsp; Lanny performed the maintenance on the system while Pam kept the books.

Lanny cherished every moment spent with all of his grandkids, following them to sporting events, scouting events, community events, or whatever they chose to be involved in.&nbsp; It didn’t matter what the activity was, Lanny and Pam were all in with their support.

Another low spot in Lanny and Pam’s life together came in the summer of 2017 when Pam received a diagnosis of gallbladder cancer.&nbsp; While Pam was ever positive in her battle with the disease, she was quick to mention that Lanny was always there as her guardian angel.&nbsp; He accompanied her to her many obligations as the state president of the Christian Women in Kansas.&nbsp; Wherever she was, you didn’t need to look far to see Lanny.&nbsp; He was a constant in her three year battle, losing her in February, 2020.

Lanny was preceded in death by his wife, Pam; and his parents, Landess and Nerine.

He leaves behind:&nbsp; two sons, Mike and wife Karla, and Eric and wife Treva; four grandchildren, Zach (Mike’s) and wife Oliva, Drew (Mike’s) and wife Jaime, Taryn (Eric’s) and husband Brandon, and Ryder (Eric’s).&nbsp; Extended family members and friends are too many to mention, as Lanny never met a stranger.

The family wants to thank the many who have stopped by to visit dad over these last several months, for the lifelong friendships, the many prayers, thoughts and well wishes that have been sent, and for all the love that you have provided. Please hear dad’s patent response, “Love Ya’ Back!”

The family will receive friends from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., Friday October 25, at Galva Christian Church.&nbsp; A memorial service will be held at 10:30 a.m., Saturday, October 26, with a meal to follow, all at the church.
