<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Wayne-Hunter">Obituary for Wayne Howard Hunter | Ryan Mortuary</a>

December 29, 1937 ~ January 18, 2022 (age 84)

Wayne Howard Hunter, 84, or “Cowboy” as he loved to be called, passed away on January 18, 2022, after a long, full life. Wayne was a recent resident at Riverview Estates in Marquette, formerly living in Lyons, KS.

Wayne was born on December 29, 1937, the fourth of eight children born to Joseph W. and Dorothy M. (Stratman) Hunter on the family farm in Rice County near Geneseo, KS. He graduated from Geneseo High School in 1956.

Wayne married Joy Sanders in 1962 and they were blessed with three children: Wayne H. Hunter, Jr. (Sonny), Kristina Ann Hunter, and Jeffrey James Hunter. Wayne and Joy later divorced.

Wayne worked on the family farm in the early years and on dairies and farms in Kansas. Wayne eventually drove trucks including delivering Medina products for his dad's business as well as delivering for Columbia Windows &amp; Doors, Lindsborg. He truly loved truck driving and delivered grain to elevators on semis into his 70s.

Wayne was preceded in death by his parents, his siblings John Warren Hunter, Velta Joyce Hunter, Estelle Schmidt, Joan Kruse, Clayton Hunter, Homer Hunter, and son-in-law Ed Nelson.

Wayne is survived by his children Sonny Hunter (Kathy Burton) Geneseo, KS, Kris Nelson, Temple, TX, and Jeff Hunter (Keitha), Lubbock, TX, his grandchildren Nancy Nelson, Michael Nelson, Crystal Hunter, Lance Hunter, Ashley (Hunter) Harrison, 11 great-grandchildren, three stepgrandchildren, eight stepgreat-grandchildren, Wayne's sister and brother-in-law Phyllis and Scott Gray, Salina, KS, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Wayne was a long-time fan of Barton Community College basketball and until recently didn't miss many home games. He loved rodeos and attended as many as possible all over Kansas yearly.

Per Wayne's wishes, he will be cremated, his ashes scattered, and he requested no funeral service. A celebration of his life may be announced later for friends and family.

Memorials may be made to Wayne's church, King's Cross Church, 212 S. Pioneer St., Lyons, KS 67554, Barton Community College Athletic Dept., or the donor's choice.

Norma Jean Richardson, 93, of Hillsboro, Texas, died Monday, January 17, 2022, at Homestead Nursing Home in Hillsboro. She was born August 21, 1928, in Salina, Kansas, to Arthur Joshua and Tena Olivia Holmquist Olson. 

Jean was raised on the family’s Valley View Farm near Assaria, Kansas, confirmed at the Assaria Lutheran Church and graduated in 1946 from Assaria High School. 

In 1950, Norma Jean earned a music education degree from Bethany College, Lindsborg, Kansas, with the trombone as her principal instrument. Her first teaching position was in Cawker City, where she met her future husband, Robert Jasper Richardson. Jean also taught music and English in elementary schools in Ellsworth and Manhattan, Kansas.

Bob and Jean were married on Palm Sunday, April 11, 1954, while Bob was on leave from the Marine Corps. Upon Bob’s graduation from Kansas State University in 1957, the couple settled in Cawker City. Bob joined the family business, Richardson Manufacturing Company, Inc., and Jean’s passion was raising the couple’s three children, Heidi, Natasha and Steve.

 Jean was an avid reader and gardener, she led choir and vacation Bible school, served as district president of Kansas Federation of Women’s Clubs, and she supported Christian missionaries around the globe. Jean led a Children’s Evangelism Fellowship meeting in her home in Cawker each week for many years, sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ.&nbsp;

Upon Bob’s retirement, the couple traveled extensively, and in 1997 they moved their primary residence to Hillsboro, Texas. After Bob’s diagnosis with multiple sclerosis, Jean served as Bob’s caregiver and travel partner until his death on January 15, 2008.

In Hillsboro, Jean was active in Esther Class of First Baptist Church, Monday Review Club, Hillsboro Garden Club, and she served as president of Hill County Republican Women. Her participation in the Senior Circle exercise class of Hill Regional Hospital led to weekly coffee meetings full of conversation and laughter with several dear Hillsboro friends.

Norma Jean was preceded in death by her husband and parents, sisters Betty Louise Hanson and Doris Kathryn Park, brother Robert Dean Olson, and son in law John Speasmaker.

Survivors include her children Heidi Speasmaker of Round Rock, Texas, Natasha Sawyer (John) of Hillsboro, and Steven Richardson of Cawker City, her grandchildren Alex Speasmaker, Elizabeth Speasmaker Andrews (Joshua), Walker Sawyer and Allison Sawyer, and her great-grandson, Emmett Lee Andrews.

<a href="https://www.tibbettsfischerfuneralhome.com/obituary/Steven-Awalt">Obituary for Steven G. Awalt | Tibbetts-Fischer Funeral Home (tibbettsfischerfuneralhome.com)</a>

March 2, 1954 ~ January 15, 2022 (age 67)

Steven G. Awalt was born on March 2, 1954, the son of LeRoy and Fredda (Morgan) Awalt, and passed away on January 15, 2022, at the age of 67 years, 10 months and 13 days.

He married the love of his life, Rona Thomas, on July 14, 1973, and to this union three children were born, Heather, Shawn and Kyle. 

Steve was very much a family man, and held his family above all else. 

Steve enjoyed all things outdoors; he spent his younger years hunting, trapping and fishing, hobbies that he continued throughout his life. His occupations of farming and land excavation went hand in hand with his love of the land and outdoors. He loved stormy weather and embraced the turbulence, rather than hiding from it.

He is leaving behind his wife of 48 years, daughter Heather (Micaah), sons Shawn (Karla) and Kyle (Savanna), grandchildren Wade, Bayleigh, Stacia, Jaden, Trevor, Aidan, Kellner, Layna, Stevie, Emilyne, Vesper, three great-grandchildren, sister Mitch Awalt of Arizona, and brother Sam Awalt of Kentucky.

Welcoming him to his heavenly home are grandchildren Warren and Elliot Awalt, parents Fredda and LeRoy Awalt, in-laws Don and Frances Thomas, his grandparents, and a host of family and friends.

A private family memorial service will be held later this month.

In lieu of flowers, memorials are requested to the Republic Co. Museum or the Pike Valley Foundation, and may be sent in care of the funeral home.

Tibbetts-Fischer Funeral Home assisted the Awalt family with these arrangements, www.tibbettsfischerfuneralhome.com.

<a href="https://www.gliddenedigerfuneral.com/obituaries/Stephen-Mcdaniel-4/">Stephen Alton "Sam" McDaniel Obituary - Visitation &amp; Funeral Information (gliddenedigerfuneral.com)</a>

Stephen Alton "Sam" McDaniel, 56, of McPherson, KS, passed away at 10:55 p.m., Friday, January 14, 2022 at McPherson Hospital, McPherson County. Stephen was born in Roanoke, VA on December 26, 1965, a son of Lucille Grace (Hamstead) McDaniel, of St. John, Kansas and Alton Leigh McDaniel. Sam grew up in the Church of the Brethren where his dad was a pastor. He attended the Staunton, Virginia schools, and graduated from Quinter High School, Quinter, Kansas in 1984.

The auto restoration program at McPherson College is what brought Sam to McPherson where he attended the program for only one year, but that set in stone his lifetime love for cars and anything mechanical. Following his education, Sam worked as mechanic at the K-Mart Auto Shop where he and Malea met. In 1990 when K-mart closed their doors, his career path led him to Keystone Railway where he was a robotic welder technician for a couple years before starting his career with Sanofi in approximately 1993. Sanofi went on to become Abbott Laboratories and Hospira and we now know it as Pfizer. He would spend the next 25 years there before leaving in 2020. He currently was working for the McPherson YMCA. Stephen Alton "Sam" McDaniel was united in marriage to Malea Kubin Studer on October 11, 1987. The young couple established their first home together in an 1880's Victorian farmhouse north of McPherson. Sam adopted Malea's son, Michael and the couple were blessed with the addition of a daughter, Amanda. They were married for 17 years before being divorced. Sam was a natural born mechanic, getting that from his mother's side of the family, and could fix just about anything from cars to clocks to pinball machines as well as multimillion dollar pharmaceutical equipment. But that was not his only natural talent. Sam was also an excellent carpenter and repurposer. Sam had an old soul and had an eye and love for anything old that still had life in it. The 1880's Victorian farmhouse he and Malea bought is where many projects and much manpower went into restoring that beauty and building his shop which showcased all his interests and hobbies.

One of Sam's proudest moments was when he became a pilot and bought his own personal airplane. Those were some of his best times of life. He and another pilot friend actually flew solo to Osh Kosh to attend one of the biggest annual fly-in events. It was a lifetime dream that he fulfilled. Another great adventure was restoring an old postal jeep into an ice cream truck. Although it was a short-lived hobby, it gave him great pleasure to see excited, happy children waving $1.00 bills at him. You may have seen it driving around or at McPherson events. He called it Polar Pete's Frozen Treats. He is survived by his children Michael McDaniel and family of Concordia, Missouri and Amanda Moors and family of Louisburg, Kansas; his mother Lucille McDaniel of St. John, Kansas; his sisters Rebecca McDaniel of St. John, Kansas, Joy Rowe and husband Bob of Milford, Delaware, and Leigh Roberts and husband Jay of St. John, Kansas. He is also survived by three grandchildren other relatives and a host of friends. Sam was preceded in death by his father Alton McDaniel. A Celebration of Life come and go will take place at a later date and will be announced closer to time. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to McPherson County Humane Society or the McPherson College Restoration Program and they can be sent in care of the Glidden - Ediger Funeral Home, 222 West Euclid Street, McPherson, Kansas 67460.

Leo Wm. Oberle, 80, of Lorraine, KS, went home to be with his Savior Jesus Christ, Saturday, January 15, 2022, at Ellsworth County Medical Center in Ellsworth, KS.

Leo was born September 14, 1941, in rural Bushton, Rice County, Kansas. He was the second son of Ambrose and Mary (Reif) Oberle. He graduated from Bushton Rural High School in the class of 1959.

In July 1972, Leo married Joyce K. Bisterfeldt of Holyrood, KS. To this union was born a daughter, Jill Ann and a son, Lee William. 

From 1968 to 1983, Leo hauled freight for Graves (A&amp;R) Truck Line in Manhattan, KS.
