<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Lloyd-Smith">Obituary for Lloyd T. Smith | Ryan Mortuary</a>

October 29, 1926 ~ January 1, 2022 (age 95)

Lloyd T. Smith&nbsp;passed away January 1, 2022. He was born October 29, 1926, to Thomas and Lulu Smith in Chillicothe, IL. The family, including Lloyd's older sisters, Oneta, Irma, and Bessie lived in Illinois several years before moving to Hanibal, Missouri. Two more siblings, Shirley and Kenneth were born in Missouri. &nbsp;

Lloyd worked on the family farm when he was young, and attended school in Mt. Vernon, MO. After leaving home he worked for the International Harvester Company in Canton, IL.

 Lloyd served in the Merchant Marines for two years near the end of World War II and some months after the war. He made trips across both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans with military supplies. Later he was drafted to serve in the army during the Korean War, giving him four years of military service. 

After returning from the army, Lloyd married Ann Sandoz of Gordon, Nebraska. Lloyd and Ann had four children: Lana, Doyle, Scott, and Sondra. 

Lloyd worked as a ranch hand in their early years of marriage and then for 30 years was employed by his friend, Henry Freed at Freed's Fine Furnishings in Chadron, NE. Lloyd also had rental properties in Chadron and in his retirement years enjoyed doing yard work for many in Chadron. During their marriage, Lloyd and Ann enjoyed traveling to many faraway places including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Korea, Hawaii and Alaska.

Ann passed away in Dec. of 1999. In May 2001 Lloyd married Irene Gilliland in Denver, CO. They lived in his home in Chadron for seven years before moving to Goodland, KS to be closer to family. Lloyd gained three stepchildren through his second marriage — Kim, Karla, and Clayton.

Lloyd is survived by his wife Irene; one sister, Shirley Strang of Davenport, Iowa; children Lana (and Grant) Lonseth of Lethbridge, Alberta, Doyle Smith of Salem, Oregon, Scott (and Karen) Smith of Seneca, South Carolina, and Sondra (and Marvin) Shelbourn of Commerce City, Colorado; stepchildren Kim Nation, of Salina Kansas, Karla (and Christopher) Thompson of Salina, and Clayton Gilliland (and Shara) of Farmington Utah. Lloyd has seven grandchildren, Erika and Matthew Lonseth, Sebastian Smith, Drake Shelbourn, Katie Workman, Shane Shelbourn, Rachel Ramey, and six step-grandchildren, Derek Nation, Sophia and Margaux Thompson, and Cole, Sydney, and Skye Gilliland, 12 great-grandchildren Leo and Miles Shelbourn, Bryson, Alayna, Jenika, and Eliza Workman, Kaden, Hadley, Karter and Kolson Shelbourn, and Charlotte, and Mikayla Ramey.

Lloyd was preceded in death by his first wife Ann, sisters Oneta Curless, Irma Thom, and Bessie Spinner, and brothers Kenneth Smith, and one year-old infant brother Stanley.

Lloyd listened to and accepted the gospel early in life. He made his choice to serve God at age 14...a choice that brought him a lot of satisfaction, peace and joy all his life. He made many friends along the way. Lloyd will be greatly missed by many, but we are most thankful he lived for what is eternal and the resulting influence very much lives on with us.

Funeral service will be 2 p.m. Thursday, January 6, 2022 at Ryan Mortuary with visitation from 1-2 p.m. Burial will take place Saturday, January 8, 2022 at the Greenwood Cemetery, following the service at 10:30 a.m. at the Chamberlain Chapel, Chadron, NE.

Barbara Jean Frazier-Sparks, 84, of Salina, passed away Sunday, January 2, 2022. Barb was born to James and Margaret Pierce in Iowa on May 18, 1937. She was an only child, which she wasn’t fond of, but God blessed her with 7 beautiful children, 14 grandchildren, and 11 great grandchildren that she loved so deeply.

Although she had many trials and tribulations that she lived through, she never let that determine her life path. In 1990 her faith prevailed, and she claimed her life back from her anxiety and lived her last 32 years with sobriety. During that time, she was a sponsor to countless people to help them fight their addiction with alcohol. She taught us all to love thy neighbor and take care of your community.

She never knew a stranger or passed any judgement. She loved dancing, games, reality TV, reading and rummaging any garage sale no matter the size. She was forgiving, kind, understanding, supportive, wise, funny and she gave the best hugs. Anyone who knew her knows the power of a hug from Barb, Mom or Grandma. She loved her family with the deepest love, an unexplainable love, a love no one can replace.

She was our counselor, our confidante, our mom, our grandma, our friend. She will be missed beyond measure. The world needs more people like Barb.

Barb was preceded in death by her father James Pierce, her stepfather Jimmy Williams, her mother Margret Williams, her grandson Beau Buehre and her aunt Mary Blaka.

Barb is survived by her 7 children. Mark Frazier and wife Donna Frazier, Mike Frazier, Lynda Buehre and husband Rich Bergen, Drew Frazier and partner Diane Wenger, Kelly Trenhaile and husband Jay Trenhaile, Kim Kerns and husband Joel Kerns and Brad Sparks. As well as 14 treasured grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren. Cain Frazier and his wife Myia and their daughter Vae. Nicholas Buehre and his wife Janet and their two children Aislynn and Brennan. Brooke Lemon and her husband Andrew. Meredith Frazier and her two children Jack and Kincaid. Rachel Frazier and her two children Talan and Vance. Thayer Trenhaile. Gage Kerns.

She was an only child, which she wasn’t fond of, but God blessed her with 7 beautiful children, 14 grandchildren, and 11 great grandchildren that she loved so deeply.Although she had many trials and tribulations that she lived through, she never let that determine her life path. In 1990 her faith prevailed, and she claimed her life back from her anxiety and lived her last 32 years with sobriety. During that time, she was a sponsor to countless people to help them fight their addiction with alcohol. She taught us all to love thy neighbor and take care of your community.She never knew a stranger or passed any judgement. She loved dancing, games, reality TV, reading and rummaging any garage sale no matter the size. She was forgiving, kind, understanding, supportive, wise, funny and she gave the best hugs. Anyone who knew her knows the power of a hug from Barb, Mom or Grandma. She loved her family with the deepest love, an unexplainable love, a love no one can replace.She was our counselor, our confidante, our mom, our grandma, our friend. She will be missed beyond measure. The world needs more people like Barb.Barb was preceded in death by her father James Pierce, her stepfather Jimmy Williams, her mother Margret Williams, her grandson Beau Buehre and her aunt Mary Blaka.Barb is survived by her 7 children.

Wilma Jean (Karr) Cooper, 95, of McPherson, KS, passed away peacefully January 2, 2022. She was the only daughter of Robert and Florence Karr, born on September 12, 1926. 

Wilma Jean was a woman who could do anything she set her mind to. After she graduated from Clearwater High School, this 19 year old, small town girl traveled on a train by herself to Long Beach, California to marry the love of her life, Loren Cooper. They were married in 1945 and made their home in Wichita during their 65 years of marriage. They were blessed with two daughters, Judy Sawyer and Carla Neufeld. 

Her determination to start over was driven by her desire to be closer to family, and so she moved to McPherson, KS at the age of 83. She remained living independently in her home till January 2022, when she went to her heavenly home. While working numerous secretarial jobs, she still was an active participant in her children and grandchildren’s activities. Her home was always open to spur of the moment gatherings. She enjoyed being around people and entertaining. She was like an Energizer bunny who valued a strong work ethic. Her organizational skills served her well for scrapbooking, crafting, upholstering and sewing. Her talents ranged from rewiring a toaster to learning to cane an heirloom chair. Her greatest joy came in the spring when she could be outdoors and plant her flowers. She was community-minded and served as an election volunteer for many years. Additionally, she served on the Greenwood Cemetery (Oatville, KS) Board for 20 + years. She was a major visionary on the board when a new addition was purchased and a chapel was built. She was a 75-year member of Eastern Star and held many state and county leadership positions in FCE, formerly Extension Home Units (EHU). She was chosen to represent Kansas and received the national Heart of FCE Award in 2015 at the national convention. She was an active FCE member for 66 years. Besides her two daughters, Judy Sawyer and Carla Neufeld (Stan), her family legacy is eight grandchildren: Brian Sawyer (Peggy), Darin Sawyer (April), Dan Word, Megan Levika (Roby), Scott Neufeld, Kevin Neufeld, Laura Hendricks (Dustin) and Amy White (Josh), and 12 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, granddaughter, Abigail, and son-in-law, Robert Sawyer. The family will receive friends from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., Friday, January 7, 2022, at Stockham Family Funeral Home, McPherson. The funeral service will be held at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, January 8, at Broadway Mortuary, Wichita. A private family burial will follow at Greenwood Cemetery, 6231 W. 47th St., Wichita, KS 67215.

Shirley grew up and lived in Wisconsin where she had three children. She was united in marriage to Daniel Fleuter on April 30, 2005, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In NM, she spent time loving and caring for her aging parents, finally settling with Dan in Kansas.
