Annette Seib, who was born into the 
Depression in Hays, Kansas, and went on to become the matriarch of a 
large and happy family, died Tuesday night. She was 88.

Annette was married for 
almost 69 years to Richard Seib. Together they raised seven children who
 were the center of their lives, and watched with pride as their family 
grew to 22 grandchildren and 26 great-grandchildren. Known to family and
 friends as Nettie and Dick, they were fixtures in their St. Joseph’s 
Parish community in Hays until they moved in recent years to be near 
sons in the Kansas City area.

Annette Louise Doerfler 
was born on Oct. 23, 1933, the 10th of 11 children of Joseph and Agnes 
Doerfler. Her father was, among other things, the sheriff of Ellis 
County, Kansas, for a time, which led to a memorable period in which his
 family lived in the county courthouse and jail facility. Growing up in Western Kansas amid the difficult economic 
times of the Depression left a lasting impression on Nettie and 
instilled in her a lifelong tendency toward frugality; among other 
things, she was known to reuse coffee grinds for a second pot. She also 
developed an appreciation of the importance of family and faith and the 
value of work.

That appreciation of 
work, in fact, led her to meet the man who became the love of her life. 
While at Girls Catholic High School in Hays—where she served as junior 
class president—Nettie took a job as a car hop at the Yankee Dollar, a 
drive-in restaurant in Hays. There, one night, a handsome young farm boy
 named Richard Seib volunteered to drive her home after work.

That meeting blossomed into romance and eventually to marriage.

But their young marriage 
was soon interrupted by war. Her husband’s National Guard unit was 
activated and sent to Korea when war broke out there, forcing him to 
leave behind Annette as she was expecting their first child. Tom Seib 
was born while his father was overseas.

After the war, the young 
couple went on to have six more children, while a beloved niece, Belinda
 Seib, effectively became a member of the immediate family as well. All 
of them attended the Catholic high schools known variously as St. 
Joseph’s Military Academy, Thomas More Prep and Marian High School in 
Hays.

Nettie was an active and 
involved parent in her children’s schools, as well as in parish life. 
She also was a skilled pinochle and dominos player, a noodle maker, and a
 master at stretching a dollar. As her children grew older, she resumed working outside the home for 
several years as a sales associate at K-Mart, a job she embraced with 
relish.

One skill Nettie never mastered was the ability to sit 
still. Sitting through a single episode of a TV show, much less a long 
movie, was a struggle for someone who was always seized with the need to
 be up and about, doing something—anything—constructive.

In retirement, Nettie and 
Dick were regular travelers for as long as their health allowed, 
crossing the state of Kansas, and periodically the country, to be with 
their children and grandchildren. Christmases often were brightened by 
gifts of handmade crocheted afghans and embroidered kitchen towels she 
shared with her family.

In her final days at 
Colonial Village in Overland Park, Kansas, Nettie never lost that 
nervous energy that kept her moving throughout her days, even as 
physical frailties made that more difficult. Her motto, often expressed 
to visitors and staff members alike, was that she felt a need to “go, 
go, go."

She was preceded in death by her husband in 2019 and by two infant grandchildren.

She is survived by a 
sister, Kathy Rohr, of Hays, and a brother, Harold, of Hutchinson, Kan.;
 and by her children Tom (Cheryl) of Lincoln, Neb.; Phyllis (Robert) 
Brack of Bay St. Louis, Miss.; Debbie (Bob) Lang of Amarillo, Tex.; 
Jerry (Barbara) of Chevy Chase, Md.; Jeff (Kelly) of Overland Park, 
Kan.; Paul (Johnna) of Kansas City, Mo.; and Pat (Susie) of Overland 
Park, Kan.; and by Belinda (Merle) Mahoney of Hutchinson, Kan.

A funeral Mass will be 
held at St. Joseph’s Church in Hays at 10 a.m. Monday, Dec. 13, with 
burial at St. Joseph’s Cemetery.

There will be a 
visitation 5 p.m. –&nbsp; 8 p.m. on Sunday evening, Dec. 12, with a combined 
parish vigil and rosary service at 7 p.m. all at Brock's-Keithley 
Funeral Chapel and Crematory 2509 Vine in Hays.

If desired, friends may 
make memorial contributions in Annette Seib’s name to TMP-Marian Junior 
and Senior High School in Hays.

<a href="https://www.melbymortuary.com/obituary/gene-foster">Obituary | Gene G. Foster, Jr. of Mankato, Kansas | Melby Mortuary</a>

Gene George Foster, Jr., was born on March 15, 1942, in Dalhart, Texas, the son of Gene George Foster, Sr., and Mary L. (McAdams) Foster. Gene grew up in Dalhart, Texas, graduating from Dalhart High School.

Following high school, Gene started working for the Rock Island Railroad as a fireman and brakeman. Gene was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1963, and was deployed overseas to Vietnam, and was honorably discharged on December 3, 1965. On December 4, he was engaged to his sweetheart Elaine Wallace, and they were married on April 3, 1966, in Goodland, Kansas. To this union of 55 years, two sons were born, Gene George III and William Lloyd.

Gene returned to work for the Rock Island, and later the Kyle Railroad, where he retired after over 30 of service, as a conductor/engineer. Besides the railroad, Gene also worked in construction and as an over-the-road truck driver. 

Outside of work, Gene enjoyed being outdoors, hunting, fishing and camping, and most importantly, spending time with his family. He was a long time member of the Calvary Bible Church in Jewell, Kansas.

Gene passed away at his home on December 4, 2021, on the 56th&nbsp;anniversary of his engagement to Elaine, at the age of 79 years, 8 months and 19 days.

He is preceded in death by his parents, and his brother Carl Foster.

Left to cherish his memories are his wife Elaine, son Gene George Foster III of Mankato, son William “Bill” Foster of Mankato; granddaughter Lisa Foster, grandson Gene George Foster IV, granddaughter Astra Foster, grandson William Foster, Jr., and his wife Makayla, and granddaughter Cherokee Foster; great-grandchildren Thomas Lloyd and Gabrella. Gene is also survived by his many friends, from all over the United States.

Private, family memorial services will be held later this month, with a public Celebration of Life planned in the late spring or early summer of 2022.&nbsp;

Memorials are requested to the family, and may be sent in care of Melby Mortuary.

<a href="https://www.wilsonfamilyfuneralhome.com/obituary/duane-m-grittman">Obituary | Duane M. Grittman of Minneapolis, Kansas | Wilson Family Funeral Home</a>

Duane Martin Grittman, 65, Minneapolis, went to be with Jesus, his Lord and Savior, on Monday, December 6, 2021. He was born March 12, 1956, in New York to Raymond and Marjorie (Henderson) Grittman while Raymond was serving in the military.

They returned to their hometown of Beloit where he was raised and attended school. After high school, Duane worked several jobs before attending vo-tech school. 

In 1985, he married Alice Kattenberg, the love of his life. They enjoyed many years camping, traveling, and being together. Duane and Alice spent many evenings with friends playing cards, laughing, and praying for needs. This was a special time of fellowship and encouragement. After his accident, he spent time fishing, carving, and doing many woodworking projects for family and friends. 

One of the important parts of his life was his ministry for the Lord. Duane never hesitated to share his faith with anyone he met. He was always willing to be used by the Lord – ministering in the local jail, hospital, church, and later ministering to the nurses and hospital staff while he was a patient. Duane would always say when entering the hospital, he was on a mission trip – praying for many in need.

He was preceded in death by his parents and sister-in-law, Wanda Grittman.

Survivors are his wife Alice; daughter Rachel; brother Daniel; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Visitation will be from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., Friday, December 10 at Wilson Family Funeral Home, 405 Argyle Ave., Minneapolis, KS 67467 where the family will receive friends from 6:00 to 7:00. Funeral services will be at 2:30 p.m., Saturday at Pathway Church, 845 Woodland, Minneapolis. Burial will follow in Highland Cemetery, Minneapolis. 

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Pathway Church and may be left in care of the funeral home.

Kathryn M. Frantz, age 95, went home to be with the Lord on December 3, 2021. She was born in the New Gottland Township on June 16, 1926 to Emanuel and Verlie Emeline Keding. She grew up on a farm north of McPherson and later moved to Lindsborg.

Kathryn attended Lindsborg schools and graduated from Lindsborg Rural High School. 

She married Carl J. Frantz of Lindsborg in Durham, NC on April 5, 1944, right before he shipped out with the 35th Infantry Division for Europe. After the war Carl and Kathryn established their home in Lindsborg. 

In 1954 the family moved to McPherson where they lived until 1986 when they returned to Lindsborg. During the years they lived in McPherson, Kathryn worked at Raleigh’s Drug Store and McPherson &amp; Citizens State Bank which later became McPherson Bank and Trust and then Bank IV. Kathryn began her banking career as a teller and retired as an officer. She especially enjoyed her tenure as Status 55 Coordinator in which she managed the “club” for senior bank customers. In this position she organized events and trips all over North America. 

Kathryn is survived by her son Carl “Dan” Frantz of Redmond, WA; her daughters Judy Pilewski and husband Edward of Lindsborg, Shirley Miller and husband Bill of Salina, Peggy Weddle and husband Mark of Manhattan, KS, and Susan Achenbach and her husband Scott of Lindsborg.

She was days/weeks away from meeting her first two great-great-grandchildren. 

Kathryn enjoyed singing in the Messiah Chorus for over 50 years, was a wonderful cook and loved attending concerts and programs in which her grandchildren and great-grandchildren participated. She was proud of her Swedish heritage and sang the praises of Lindsborg to any who would listen. She was thankful to be able to travel to Europe several times with visits to Sweden and Normandy especially meaningful. 

She was preceded in death by her parents, her stepfather George Keding, her husband Carl Frantz, her son Richard Frantz, her daughter-in-law Janet Frantz, sisters Vivian McCoy, Margaret Nelson, Ellen Box and brother Robert Keding.

<a href="https://www.parsonsfh.com/obituary/Roger-Kvasnicka">Obituary for Roger Kent Kvasnicka | Parson Funeral Home (parsonsfh.com)</a>

March 6, 1945 ~ December 4, 2021 (age 76)

Roger Kent Kvasnicka, 76, passed away December 4, 2021, at his home in Lucas, KS. He was born March 6, 1945, in Ellsworth, KS to Dell and Joyce (Chard) Kvasnicka.

&nbsp; A 1963 graduate of Lucas High School, he was a proud Lucas Demon, and evidently, from stories told, was pretty decent at kicking a football!

Roger received his bachelor of science degree from Fort Hays State University in June of 1968, and accepted his first teaching and coaching position in 1968 for USD 407 at his alma mater, Lucas High School. He transferred from Lucas High School to Russell High School from 1979-1980. From 1980-1985, he taught at USD 407, Gorham High School in Gorham, KS. He ended his teaching and coaching career at USD 407, Ruppenthal Middle School in Russell, KS, from 1985-2000. He retired in 2000 after a 32-year teaching career.

Roger married Barbara (Burger) on November 16, 1996. The couple just celebrated 25 years of marriage last month.

Roger lived and breathed sports, but specifically the Crimson and Blue, KU Jayhawks. He never missed a game, and would record the games, watching them over and over again, critiquing each player’s every move. He, of course, also loved the KC Chiefs and the KC Royals, but the Jayhawks, especially the men’s basketball team, was his true passion. He was involved in a group chat with his brothers, son, son-in-law, and nephews during each game’s entirety, celebrating the wins, and grieving the losses.

Roger was preceded in death by his mother Joyce Ward; father Dell Kvasnicka; stepfather Gene Ward; daughter Amy Kvasnicka; son Clint Francis; brother Gary Ward; sister-in-law Tamela (Monte) Ward; nephews Josh Ward and Kurt Bretz; and niece Kari Bretz.

The couple just celebrated 25 years of marriage last month.Roger lived and breathed sports, but specifically the Crimson and Blue, KU Jayhawks. He never missed a game, and would record the games, watching them over and over again, critiquing each player’s every move. He, of course, also loved the KC Chiefs and the KC Royals, but the Jayhawks, especially the men’s basketball team, was his true passion. He was involved in a group chat with his brothers, son, son-in-law, and nephews during each game’s entirety, celebrating the wins, and grieving the losses.Roger was preceded in death by his mother Joyce Ward; father Dell Kvasnicka; stepfather Gene Ward; daughter Amy Kvasnicka; son Clint Francis; brother Gary Ward; sister-in-law Tamela (Monte) Ward; nephews Josh Ward and Kurt Bretz; and niece Kari Bretz.
