Dr. Duane Edward Cole, 88, passed on to be with his savior, January 9, 2022, at Lincoln Park Manor, Lincoln, KS. Duane was born to Blaine and Elsie (Hunter) Cole on May 18, 1933, in rural Beverly, KS. 

He was preceded in death by his wife Betty, parents, and five siblings.

Upon completion of high school, Duane enlisted in the U.S. Navy and was a mechanic stationed in Corpus Christi, TX. While he was stationed in Corpus Christi, he met his wife Betty June (Walker) Cole. They married, on January 15, 1955, and were blessed with three children. 

Duane completed his studies and received his DVM in 1962 from Kansas State University. 

Looking for a place to hang his shingle as a DVM, they moved to Kinsley, KS and Atchison, KS, but it was not quite right. Duane and Betty found the right place, in Lincoln, KS, just 10 minutes from his birthplace. He practiced veterinary medicine and farmed there until the early ‘80s when he returned to KSU for a Ph.D. After completing his Ph.D., he did research and taught necropsy and pathology at KSU. In the late ‘80s, Duane took a job with the USDA and was stationed in Hastings, NE and later Idabel, OK. He retired in 2014, and he and Betty lived in Idabel until her death on May 11, 2021.&nbsp; He then returned to Lincoln and moved into Lincoln Park Manor.

Duane is survived by children Elizabeth Ann (Cole) Chard and spouse Randall Chard, Terrance Duane Cole and spouse Robbin Waldner Cole, and Daniel Eugene Cole and spouse Abby (Henson) Cole; eight grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.

Visitation: 1-7 p.m., Thursday, January 13, 2022, at Hall Chapel, Lincoln, KS. Family will be present 5-7 p.m. to greet visitors.

Funeral service: 2:00 p.m., Saturday, January 22, 2022, at Hall Chapel, Lincoln with burial following in the Lincoln Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Helping International Students, c/o Hall Chapel, P.O. Box 37, Lincoln, KS 67544. Contributions can also be made online at www.hismanhattan.org/give.&nbsp;

<a href="https://yazelmeglifh.com/obituaries/donna-bevan-1">Donna Bevan Obituary 2022 - Yazel - Megli Funeral Homes (yazelmeglifh.com)</a>

Donna Rose (Pankratz) Beavan was born in Hillsboro, Kansas on May 26, 1931. She was the first child of Dan and Nellie Pankratz of Hillsboro. 

She spent her first years in school in Hillsboro, Durham and Herington before moving to Marion for High School. After the move to Marion her mother Nellie became ill, and she took over most of her care in addition to caring for younger sister Elda and brother Jay as well as the home. 

Her mother passed away in 1955 and Donna then went to work for Broadstreet Studio in Marion. She was employed there until she married Velber Bevan on May 5, 1956, at the Emmanuel Baptist Church in Marion. 

Velber worked as a signal maintainer for the Rock Island Railroad and their first home was Peabody, Kansas. His position demand moves to McPherson, Pratt, and Hutchinson, where they lived there until he retired. 

Together, they were always dedicated in their faith and their church where regular attendance and participation were a major part of their lives. Donna lived her faith and dedicated and shared a beautiful singing voice in worship services, weddings, funerals, and other special events. She also had a wonderful gift as a pianist and shared her talent with others even when the last years of her life were difficult due to her health. She shared her talents with love which the family always felt. 

She and Velber shared 57 years of marriage and she cared for him in a special way, especially when his work schedule included working all hours of the day and night.

She leaves a sister Elda and her husband Stanley Bettin; brother Jay Pankratz and his wife Gloria; two nieces, Janelle Bettin Martin and husband Andy and Joanna Bettin Walters; two nephews, Bryce Bettin and wife Tamara and Alan Pankratz and wife Chris; seven great-nephews, three great-nieces, and two great-great nephews. 

She was preceded in death by her parents Dan and Nellie Pankratz, a stepmother Tina Pankratz and infant brother Dale. 

Her family was always her priority. She shared Christian love with her family and always extended that love to those who needed help. She followed Christ’s example of kindness, sharing and concern for those who were a part of her life. 

She lost her husband Velber on August 26, 2013. 

She has since lived in assisted living at Wesley Towers in Hutchinson and at Bickford House in Overland Park, Kansas. 

She went to her eternal reward on January 6, 2022. 

A Celebration of Life service will be held on Saturday, January 15, 2022, at 11 a.m. at Yazel-Megli Funeral Home in Marion, Kansas.

She and Velber shared 57 years of marriage and she cared for him in a special way, especially when his work schedule included working all hours of the day and night.She leaves a sister Elda and her husband Stanley Bettin; brother Jay Pankratz and his wife Gloria; two nieces, Janelle Bettin Martin and husband Andy and Joanna Bettin Walters; two nephews, Bryce Bettin and wife Tamara and Alan Pankratz and wife Chris; seven great-nephews, three great-nieces, and two great-great nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents Dan and Nellie Pankratz, a stepmother Tina Pankratz and infant brother Dale. Her family was always her priority. She shared Christian love with her family and always extended that love to those who needed help. She followed Christ’s example of kindness, sharing and concern for those who were a part of her life. She lost her husband Velber on August 26, 2013. She has since lived in assisted living at Wesley Towers in Hutchinson and at Bickford House in Overland Park, Kansas. She went to her eternal reward on January 6, 2022. A Celebration of Life service will be held on Saturday, January 15, 2022, at 11 a.m. at Yazel-Megli Funeral Home in Marion, Kansas. The family has asked for memorials to be made to Kindred Hospice.

<a href="https://www.stockhamfamily.com/obituaries/Leroy-Shugart/">Leroy E. Shugart Obituary - Visitation &amp; Funeral Information (stockhamfamily.com)</a>

Leroy E. Shugart, age 76, died in his home in McPherson, KS with his loving wife by his side on January 7, 2022, after a brief battle with cancer. In typical fashion, he just had a good Christmas with his family and went out in his own time, on his own terms, and more quickly than anyone expected. He stated that he did not want any “boo-hooing” when the time came, but his family was unable to respect that wish. He was born April 14, 1945, in Eureka, KS, the only son of Eldon and Louise Shugart, and the poor guy was brother to six sisters, five of whom survive to remember what a rascal of a brother he was. He was raised in Severy and graduated from Severy High School, and later on, Wichita State University Physician Assistant program. He was united in marriage to Phyllis Roesener on June 20, 1965, in Dodge City, KS. They raised two boys together, Brad and Brent.

He was a loving and attentive grandfather to his adoring grandchildren, spoiling them at nearly every opportunity despite all protests from their parents. He didn’t do anything he didn’t want to do, but fortunately for his loved ones, he wanted to do some pretty cool things. He was known for his woodwork, his stubbornness, his entrepreneurial spirit, his ingenuity, practicality, creativity, ready laugh and willingness to offer a helping hand to anyone. He worked in so many places in Kansas that they couldn’t possibly all be named, mainly because it’s hard to remember them all, and now, unable to ask him. He is survived by his beloved wife of 56 years, Phyllis. Also surviving are his son Brad (Dominic) Shugart of Sarasota, FL, his son Brent Shugart of McPherson, KS, granddaughter Ashlyn Shugart and grandson Lazarus Shugart, both of McPherson, KS. Surviving sisters include Lois Klepper of Severy, KS, Jan (Frank) Korte of Wellington, KS, Carol Shugart of La Cygne, KS, Mary Jo (Ed) Plaster of Springfield, MO, and Beth (Jeff) Goetzinger of Hutchinson, KS. He is further survived by his former daughter-in-law Suzanne Wolcott, myriad friends, business partners, riding buddies, and respected colleagues. Right before he passed, he let his family know that he thought he was done using all his tools, and that he planned to have the last word. He will be dearly missed by all who loved him. He was preceded in death by his parents and his dear sister, Linda Crismas. Despite his objections, his family will plan to mourn him in a service on January 14. Per his request, a party will follow to share some food, drink a few beers and tell a few stories, which is exactly what he would be doing if he knew all his family and friends were together. The funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m., Friday, January 14, 2022, at Trinity Lutheran Church with Rev. Tim Leaf officiating. The family will receive friends from 1:00 p.m. until service time on Friday at the church. Burial will follow the service at McPherson Cemetery. Memorial donations may be given to McPherson County Community Foundation (for the Giving Hope Cancer Fund) in care of Stockham Family Funeral Home, 205 North Chestnut, McPherson, KS 67460.

In typical fashion, he just had a good Christmas with his family and went out in his own time, on his own terms, and more quickly than anyone expected. He stated that he did not want any “boo-hooing” when the time came, but his family was unable to respect that wish. He was born April 14, 1945, in Eureka, KS, the only son of Eldon and Louise Shugart, and the poor guy was brother to six sisters, five of whom survive to remember what a rascal of a brother he was. He was raised in Severy and graduated from Severy High School, and later on, Wichita State University Physician Assistant program. He was united in marriage to Phyllis Roesener on June 20, 1965, in Dodge City, KS. They raised two boys together, Brad and Brent. He was a loving and attentive grandfather to his adoring grandchildren, spoiling them at nearly every opportunity despite all protests from their parents. He didn’t do anything he didn’t want to do, but fortunately for his loved ones, he wanted to do some pretty cool things. He was known for his woodwork, his stubbornness, his entrepreneurial spirit, his ingenuity, practicality, creativity, ready laugh and willingness to offer a helping hand to anyone. He worked in so many places in Kansas that they couldn’t possibly all be named, mainly because it’s hard to remember them all, and now, unable to ask him. He is survived by his beloved wife of 56 years, Phyllis. Also surviving are his son Brad (Dominic) Shugart of Sarasota, FL, his son Brent Shugart of McPherson, KS, granddaughter Ashlyn Shugart and grandson Lazarus Shugart, both of McPherson, KS. Surviving sisters include Lois Klepper of Severy, KS, Jan (Frank) Korte of Wellington, KS, Carol Shugart of La Cygne, KS, Mary Jo (Ed) Plaster of Springfield, MO, and Beth (Jeff) Goetzinger of Hutchinson, KS. He is further survived by his former daughter-in-law Suzanne Wolcott, myriad friends, business partners, riding buddies, and respected colleagues. Right before he passed, he let his family know that he thought he was done using all his tools, and that he planned to have the last word. He will be dearly missed by all who loved him. He was preceded in death by his parents and his dear sister, Linda Crismas. Despite his objections, his family will plan to mourn him in a service on January 14. Per his request, a party will follow to share some food, drink a few beers and tell a few stories, which is exactly what he would be doing if he knew all his family and friends were together. The funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m., Friday, January 14, 2022, at Trinity Lutheran Church with Rev. Tim Leaf officiating. The family will receive friends from 1:00 p.m. until service time on Friday at the church. Burial will follow the service at McPherson Cemetery. Memorial donations may be given to McPherson County Community Foundation (for the Giving Hope Cancer Fund) in care of Stockham Family Funeral Home, 205 North Chestnut, McPherson, KS 67460.

Karin Ann Belden was born to Bernice (Curry) and Harold T. Taylor on May 6, 1942 in Beloit.&nbsp; She passed away on January 5, 2022 at MCHHS at 79 years of age.

Whenever Karin had a spare moment, she could probably be found reading.&nbsp; She enjoyed family camping trips to the lake and was involved as a Girl Scout leader for many years.&nbsp; Family trips to Florida, Colorado, Missouri and KC were spear headed by her sense of adventure.&nbsp; She enjoyed attending school and church programs for the grandkids.&nbsp; A favorite treat to prepare when the grandkids were visiting was either a trip to DQ or making her own strawberry Shasta ice cream floats.

Albert C. “Al” Miller was born May 19, 1940 in Pontiac, Michigan, the son of Albert and Ethel (Russell) Miller.

In his early years, Al enjoyed hunting and fishing and always enjoyed watching John Wayne movies and other old westerns.

He is also survived by his son Dennis and his wife Veronica of Wichita, daughter Joan and her husband Richard of Abilene, brother Ed Miller of California, sister Lillian Woodham of Newton, Alabama, grandchildren Lance and Jenny Sherbert, Carson Sherbert, and Joshua Miller, and a great-grandchild on the way.
