Wanda
 Jean (Deges) Thyfault-Thummel of Hays, Kansas died Monday, July 12, 
2021, at age 72, at the Santa Marta Plaza Health Services in Olathe, 
Kansas.&nbsp; She was born March 2, 1949, to Leonard and Dorothea (Engel) 
Deges and grew up on the family farm by Grainfield, Kansas.&nbsp; She married
 Clarence Thyfault on August 8, 1972 in Grainfield, and from this union

 28, 1979. Then Wanda married Ralph Thummel on June 5, 1987, in Hays, 
Kansas.&nbsp; He preceded her in death on March 4, 2021.

Wanda graduated from Grainfield Rural High School in 1967, before 
earning her bachelor’s degree in sociology and elementary education in 
1971, graduating with honors from Marymount College in Salina, Kansas.&nbsp; 
She then obtained a master’s degree in elementary education in 1972,

and&nbsp; 5th grade.&nbsp; She began her career as a 3rd grade teacher at St. 
Joseph’s Parochial School in Hays where she taught from 1971 to1973, 
before moving to Plainville where she taught 5th grade from 1976 to 
2005, (except one year of 3rd grade).&nbsp; Mrs. “T”, as students called her,
 possessed excellent teaching skills, knowledge and experience which 
were recognized when she received the Teacher of the Year Award in 
Plainville in 1989, and by regularly being nominated for honors by 
former students.&nbsp; She was the favorite teacher of many students in 
Plainville and was regularly thanked by her former students for changing
 their lives.&nbsp; Mrs. “T” had a passion for teaching that was unmatched, 
caring deeply for each child, and striving to coax the most out of each 
child’s unique abilities.&nbsp; She combined toughness and high expectations 
with love and sincerity in a manner that helped students blossom.

After retirement, Wanda enjoyed outings with her friends, spending time 
with family (visiting and playing cards), reading current events and 
novels, knitting and completing numerous counted cross stitch projects.&nbsp;
 Wanda loved her family very much and was a textbook of family history 
and facts. &nbsp;Also, Wanda enjoyed sharing highlights about her son’s 
biomedical research accomplishments. &nbsp;In addition, Wanda enjoyed 
watching her grandsons Miles and Lincoln grow up, particularly tutoring 
them over the internet during the COVID-19 pandemic.&nbsp; Wanda and Ralph 
made monthly trips to see their grandsons and lavished them with love 
and attention.&nbsp; Although a fantastic teacher, Wanda’s favorite passion 
was being a grandmother.

Survivors include her son, John Thyfault and wife, Jessica, Shawnee, 
KS; two grandsons, Lincoln and Miles Thyfault; one sister, Eileen Curl

Richard Louis Worley, 94, died Tuesday, July 20, 2021, at Village Manor in Abilene.

Born May 25, 1927, in Concordia, Kan., he was the son of Hugh and Millie (Daniel) Worley. He grew up on the farm in rural Formoso in Jewell County, attended a one-room schoolhouse and graduated from Formoso High School. Even though he was valedictorian of his class, he did not attend graduation ceremonies because he had enlisted in the U.S. Navy and already was in boot camp, preparing to enter World War II when peace was declared.

He served on the troop ship the USS General J.C. Breckinridge in the Pacific Theatre following the end of World War II. He started officer training at Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif., but the end of World War II meant fewer officers were needed.

After being discharged from the Navy he attended and graduated from Kansas State University in Manhattan where he obtained a degree from the college of agriculture. He made his career in ag lending and banking, primarily working for the Federal Land Bank Association of Wichita, serving as president of the Herington branch office which later was moved to Abilene in 1969.

After leaving the Federal Land Bank he obtained a realtor and broker's license and operated Worley Realty in Abilene in the 1980s. He then became a vice president at the Bank of Herington in 1984, before moving to Osborne where he and his wife Mary owned and operated Midland Business Products with stores in Osborne and Mankato. He also was a Xerox marketing representative.

After retirement he became an account representative for the Kansas Senior Times, a publication for older, active adults. In 2007, he and Mary moved back to Abilene where he shared his love of history by working for the Dickinson County Historical Society.

As a young man, flying was his passion so he earned his private pilot's license and eventually owned two planes. His favorite was a Cessna 140 taildragger.

In 1958, he married Mary Catherine Pfeifer in Ellis, Kansas. They had three children, Kathy, Dale and Daniel. Over the years, they made their home in Herington, Abilene and Osborne. Mary preceded him in death in November 2007.

Survivors include daughter Kathy Hageman (Gary) of Abilene; sons Dale Worley of Abilene and Daniel Worley (Lisette) of Osborne; grandchildren Josh Worley (Lindy) of Osborne, Sasha Schultze (Clayton) of Osborne, Julia Worley of Manhattan, Erik Hageman of Topeka, Kelsey (Andrew) Clarke of Beloit, Raegan (Phill) Shamburg of Salina and Madison (Bobby) Bliss of Downs; 11 great-grandchildren and another on the way.

Friends and family are invited to attend a memorial service for Richard at 2 p.m. Friday, July 23, 2021, at Martin Becker Carlson Funeral Home, 414 NW 3rd, Abilene. Cremation has taken place. 

Memorials are suggested to the Dickinson County Historical Society or Hospice of Dickinson County and may be dropped off or sent to the funeral home.

Hillsboro - Charles (Chuck) L. Abrahams was born to Curtis and Anna (Dalke) Abrahams on November 18, 1934, welcomed by his older siblings Verna, Norman and Raymond. Chuck graduated from Hillsboro High School. Chuck enlisted in the Army Reserves on August 17, 1957 as a private. He was honorably discharged from the Army of the United States on April 15, 1963 as a corporal.

Chuck married Genevieve (Genny) Winter on December 2, 1960 in the Hillsboro Mennonite Brethren Church. Chuck and Genny’s first home was a trailer house in Hillsboro. In 1963 their son Brad was born. Five years later Brad welcomed his sister Marci to the family. After living in several different houses they settled into a home on Lincoln Street where they lived for nearly 45 years before residing at Bethesda Home in Goessel.

Chuck worked a variety of jobs including a milk route, parts manager at Irv Schroeder Motors, and as a salesman for Bowman. 

The majority of Chuck’s adult career was spent delivering mail for the U.S. Postal Service. Regardless of the weather, Chuck would walk a 12-mile route, five days a week without a complaint. He enjoyed walking his route, dressed as Santa Claus every December 24. Chuck ended his career working at Circle D into his late 70s.

His hobbies included camping, fishing, hunting and old cars. 

Chuck would do anything for anyone but his #1 passion was his grandkids – Brady, Derek, Brandi and Maci. He loved supporting them at their events. Chuck also enjoyed his woodworking shop. Some of the items he made included: banks out of post office boxes, sequence games, infant cradles, rocking horses, time out benches, and grandfather clocks.

Chuck definitely knew his Lord personally and showed God’s love by caring, giving and through his gentle, kind heart. He was one patient soul!

Homemade ice cream on Sundays was a given. Chuck also loved to grill. At Bethesda, Chuck could be found at his computer playing Solitaire (which he called Solitary), snacking on M and Ms.

Chuck passed away peacefully on July 18, 2021 at Bethesda Home in Goessel. 

Celebration of Life is 2:00 p.m. Thursday, July 22, 2021 at First Mennonite Church in Hillsboro officiated by Pastor Tom Harder. Family will receive friends from 1:00 p.m. until service time at the Church on Thursday. 

Family asks that everyone where a mask due to COVID-19. 

Chuck is survived by his brother-in-law Vernon Winter and wife Janice, his son Brad and wife Rose, daughter Marci Heidebrecht and husband Ron, six grandchildren: Bret Nichols (Brogan); Kaci Nichols, Brady Abrahams (Audrey), Derek Kelsey, Brandi Abrahams (Caio), Maci Welker (Ryan), and four great-grandchildren: Lane Phillips, Tatum Nichols, Grace Welker and Peyton Abrahams.

We would like to thank the Bethesda Home staff for their loving care of Chuck.

In lieu of flowers, contributions to Bethesda Home would be appreciated.

<a href="https://www.melbymortuary.com/obituary/ronald-payne">Obituary | Ronald A. Payne of Formoso, Kansas | Melby Mortuary</a>

Ronald Albert Payne, 89, of Formoso, Kansas, passed away peacefully on July 18, 2021, at the Jewell Co. Hospital in Mankato, Kansas.

He was born August 15, 1931, to A.C. “Bert” and Vivian (Dyas) Payne, on the family farm four miles south of Formoso. He graduated from Formoso High School in 1949. Ronald spent time farming with his dad until he entered the United States Army in 1951. After returning home from France and leaving the service, he resumed farming, which was a love that he devoted his life to.

In 1958, he married the love of his life, Iva Lea Mullins, in Burr Oak, Kansas. They were blessed with three children, and farmed together for the next 63 years.

Ronald was a faithful Christian and longtime member of the Formoso Community Church, serving as a member on the board for many years.

Farming was a career that he truly enjoyed every day. Over the years, he raised many crops, as well as cattle and pigs. He proudly passed along the enjoyment of farming to his son, but all of his children inherited his hard work ethic by watching their dad. Over the years, Ronald developed a talent for woodworking, and was always looking for his next project. Many of his items were made for family and friends.

Ronald’s quick wit and sense of humor brought smiles to all who knew him, most describing him as ornery. He was always there quickly to lend a helping hand to anyone without hesitation.

Family was most important to him, and he was happiest when everyone was together. He enjoyed all the activities his children and grandchildren were in. He was one you could always find on the floor playing tractors with little ones, and loving on the family pets.

Ronald was preceded in death by his parents, and his three sisters and their husbands; Carol and LaVerne Stansbury, Dorothy and Milford Johnson, and Inez and Vernon Quy, as well as an infant brother.

He will forever be loved and remembered by his wife Iva Lea of the home; his children Julia and Al West of Topeka, Rodney and Linda Payne of Mankato, and Kimberly and Randy Shadduck of Mankato; grandchildren Haleigh Shadduck of Mankato, Tyler Shadduck of Lawrence, Brent and Collette Beck of Mankato, and Kristene and Scott Boyles of Superior; great-grandchildren Rhett and Rayna Waugh of Mankato; Austin, Calen, Ally and Dacey Beck of Mankato; Kyler, Kamden, and Averi Boyles of Superior; and one great-great-granddaughter, Willow VanDeveer of Mankato. He is also lovingly remembered by his nephews, nieces, and a community of friends.

Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, July 2t, 2021 at 10:30 a.m., at the Formoso Community Church with Pastor Daniel Waide officiating. Burial with U.S. military rites will follow at Balch Cemetery, rural Formoso.

Visitation will be Tuesday, July 20, from 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Melby Mortuary in Mankato, where the family will greet friends from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Memorials are requested to the Formoso Community Church or Solomon Valley Hospice, and may be sent in care of the funeral home.

Brenda Lee Rupert, 44, of Marquette passed away Wednesday, July 14, 2021 in Salina, with family by her side.  Brenda was born April 19, 1977 in Salina to Randy and Sharon Lister. 

    Brenda grew up in Washington and always spoke of how much she loved her home state. She enjoyed running with her family, playing saxophone in the band, and being on the cheerleading squad. Brenda graduated high school in Kansas and attended college. 

She married David Weber on November 4, 1995 in Delphos, and they had three children. Brenda married Mitch Rupert on May 5, 2005 in Estes Park, CO. 

She worked as a para educator for Smoky Valley High School for over 15 years. During that time she had the opportunity to touch many people's lives, being a friend, mentor, and teacher. She considered all her students "her kids." Brenda participated in many activities and functions and loved being a cheerleading coach at SVHS. 

    Her biggest joy was her family and grandchildren and she leaves behind nothing but beautiful memories. Her kids and grandbabies made her shine like the star she was. It would be wrong to say that she lost her battle to cancer because she never stopped fighting. Through her, we know what true resilience and perseverance look like. Brenda was truly one of a kind and will be missed by everyone she knew. 

    She is survived by her husband Mitch, of the home;  daughters Madi Weber of Salina and Kati Yates (Gary) of Salina; son Bradyn Weber (Taylor) of Junction City, KS;  parents Randy and Sharon Lister of Delphos;  sisters Angela Sidener (Jeff) of Spokane, WA and Jen Bowen (Jeremy) of Richmond, VA; grandchildren Carter and Asher Yates, and Nash Weber; and niece Peyton Bowen; her chihuahuas Elly and Daisy, as well as many extended family members and dear friends.

    Brenda was preceded in death by her stillborn son Colby James Rupert; cousin Charlie Palmer; paternal grandparents; and close friend Glenda Flora and her son Ethan Flora.

    Cremation has been chosen.  A memorial service will be held 10:00 a.m. on Monday, July 19, 2021 at Crick-Christians Funeral Home, 103 N. Washington, Lindsborg, with Pastor Jon Fillipi officiating. Reception to follow at the American Legion in Lindsborg. 

    In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Brenda Rupert Memorial Education Fund at the Bank of Tescott.  Memorials may be sent in care of Crick-Christians Funeral Home, 103 N. Washington, Lindsborg, KS 67456.

Dale George Grothusen, 101, originally of Ellsworth, died December 7, 2020 in Salina. He was born December 17, 1918 on a farm in Ellsworth County to William and Christine (Strella) Grothusen. He was a farmer and stockman, retiring in 2003.

When he was eight, the family moved to a farm northeast of Ellsworth, which was to be his home for nearly the remainder of his life. At that time the farmhouse had few comforts and no indoor plumbing, which he later added among other household additions and improvements throughout his life. He attended Ellsworth public schools.

He served in the US Army Air Force during World War II. He was a waist gunner and engineer on a B-17 bomber, flying 51 missions over northern Italy, Austria, Hungary, Rumania, Yugoslavia, Germany, and France. His crew flew out of Amendola Air Field near Foggia, Italy. In later years he reunited with surviving crew members to reminisce. He traveled to the World War II Memorial in Washington, DC on an Honor Flight, in recognition of his military service.

Dale married another Ellsworth County native, Dorothy Neuschafer, on June 30, 1945 on Mercer Island near Seattle, WA. Following his discharge from the service that year, they returned to the family farm where he took over the wheat farming operation from his parents. He took well-deserved pride in improving the land through soil cultivation and conservation, while also tending his herd of Herefords. During his early years of farming and raising cattle, he also worked part-time for Cities Service Gas Company and for Ellsworth Township as a trustee and road maintenance worker.

He was a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Ellsworth, where he also served as a church elder, VFW Post 6485, and American Legion Post 174, all of Ellsworth. He was a long-time blood donor. He and Dorothy enjoyed playing pinochle with their card club friends for many years, visiting their grown children, and traveling to Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic) and Germany. In later years they continued their lifetime enjoyment of polka music and dancing, traveling to polka fests in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Texas, and Arizona.

Dale will be remembered for his love for his family and the land he farmed, his sunny disposition, his warm sense of humor, his generosity to others, and his ability to build, redesign, or repair just about anything he needed.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his brothers Ralph, Lloyd, and Jack, and sister Dorothy Remley. He is survived by his wife Dorothy, his daughters Marsha Drebelbis (James) and Ruth Obadal (Charles Hammonds) and son William H.G. Brooks (Richard Black), and many nieces, nephews, and extended family.

At Dale’s request, his body will be donated to the University of Kansas Medical Center for education and research. Burial of the remains will be at Ellsworth Cemetery.

Dale’s memorial service was delayed because of the pandemic. 

It will be held at 11:00 a.m., Friday, July 23, 2021 at First Presbyterian Church in Ellsworth. Courtesy masks requested by the family. Military funeral rites will take place at Ellsworth Memorial Cemetery following the service. A reception and light refreshment will follow at the church. 

Service can be streamed at the Ellsworth First Facebook page and can be viewed after the service at parsonsfh.com.
