<a href="https://www.mcdonaldrobertsfuneralservice.com/obituary/evelyn-keller">Obituary | Evelyn Keller of Russell, Kansas | Roberts Family Funeral Service (mcdonaldrobertsfuneralservice.com)</a>

Evelyn “Jake” was born on May 16th, 1930 to Matilda and George Thomas. She passed on November 26, 2021 at the age of 91 years, 6 months, and 10 days.&nbsp;

 Jake was the middle child of three siblings. She grew up and attended grade school in the rural Hunter area and always rode her horse to school when she could. She graduated from Hunter High School. 

On February 17, 1952, Jake married the love of her life, Richard Keller. Together they were blessed with a son, Rick, and a daughter, Kathy.

Jake and her family attended the United Methodist Church. Then when she got married, she was confirmed into the Trinity Lutheran Church.

Jake and Richard shared a love for farming and raising livestock together. Jake spent her whole life as a very hard-working farmer; despite being small in stature, she was mighty and there was no job too big for her, she worked harder than most men. While she loved the farm animals, her true passion was gardening and flowers; she always had the most impressive vegetable harvest and most beautiful flowerbeds.&nbsp; Because of that, their farm always looked picture-perfect like it could be in a magazine.

Richard and Jake loved to travel and had the pleasure of traveling to 48 states together.&nbsp; She enjoyed collecting spoons and thimbles from each place they visited.

We will never be able to imagine all the laughs they had on those road trips, but we are certain they were plentiful. Richard was known for his orneriness and he would stop at no amount of silliness to get her to giggling, which she absolutely loved about him. She would get so tickled and they always had so much fun together.

When it came to talents, she had many; there was really nothing she couldn’t do. But baking might have been the favorite of her family and friends. Not only did she love to bake, but also she was very good at it. She was always making all kinds of sweets for friends and family to enjoy. Her family best knew her for her famous cinnamon rolls.

Jake had the definition of a servant heart and would do anything for anyone. She brought joy to everyone she was around.&nbsp; She was the sweetest, kindest, most caring, and genuine person you could ever meet.&nbsp; For being so small, she had the hugest heart and her smile and laugh would truly light up the room.

Above all else, Jake’s greatest joy was spending time with her family and she especially loved spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They meant the world to her.She was so much fun to be around and had the best sense of humor; she was the joy of all our family get-togethers and will be greatly missed.

Thankful for having shared this life are her daughter, Kathy (Wesley) Kelly of Russell, KS; daughter-in-law, Tammi Keller of Hunter, KS; granddaughters: Kendra (Josh) Boor of Lucas, KS, Kelsey (Michael) Porter of Overland Park, KS, Rachel (Chris) Hlad of Lindsborg, KS; grandson, Rich Keller of Lincoln, KS; great-grandchildren: Kaylee, Carter, and Cooper Johnson, Lucas, KS; Abigail and Owen Hlad of Lindsborg, KS, sister-in-law, Grace Keller of Belleville, KS; and many nieces, nephews, and friends.

Evelyn was preceded in death by her husband, Richard Keller; her son, Rick Keller; her parents; and brothers: Gail Thomas and Neil “Buck” Thomas.&nbsp;

Private family-only graveside services will be taking place, and a Celebration of Life Service will be at 10 a.m. Saturday, December 18 at the Trinity Lutheran Church in Hunter. There will be no visitation. 

Memorials may be given to the Trinity Lutheran Church.

<a href="https://yazelmeglifh.com/obituaries/william-robinson-1">William Robinson Obituary 2021 - Yazel - Megli Funeral Homes (yazelmeglifh.com)</a>

Bill’s life began on Monday, August 6, 1934, in Newton, KS. He was the son of Arthur J. and Mabel (Willey) Robinson. Bill was a class of 1952 graduate of Florence High School. 

He was united in marriage to Beverly Lambert on July 9, 1955, and she preceded him in death on September 1, 1989. Bill married again to the former Edna (Rothgeb) Rausch on November 16, 1996, in Longton, KS. 

He was a cattleman and rancher on the family property that has been in the family since 1903. In 1956 he married Beverly and moved to Chase County where he worked for Crofoot Cattle Company while Bev attended KSTC. In 1964 he returned to the farm where they raised their family and he continued to live. Bill was a farmer/stockman while the children were growing up. He also worked in Newton at Kinder/Congoleum Furniture Manufacturing, driving a truck, and later, as a dispatcher and manager. The kids each remember getting to go with him on a couple of short trips in the truck.

Bill was a member of the Florence United Methodist Church, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and a charter member of the Kansas Livestock Association. He enjoyed working with his feeder cattle, watching sports and especially K-State basketball.

<a href="https://yazelmeglifh.com/obituaries/vernon-waner-1">Vernon Waner Obituary 2021 - Yazel - Megli Funeral Homes (yazelmeglifh.com)</a>

Vernon Francis Waner was born on December 3, 1926 to Andy and Frances Waner in a small dirt floor house just east of Florence, Kansas. When Vernon was six weeks old, his family moved to the OK Ranch where Vernon’s father became the foreman of the OK. Vernon spent his childhood on the OK Ranch. He attended District 22 School then in 1939 he attended the Catholic School in Florence, Kansas. When his father passed away in 1940, Vernon had to return to country school and finish 8th grade, at the age of 14 with all of his older brothers married or in the military. Vernon had to take over as foreman of the OK Ranch. He took pride in the fact that he was able to run the ranch and send his younger sister Dorothy through high school and care for both her and his mother.

Vernon met the love of his life, Henrietta Stika, at a cake walk held at the Youngtown school northeast of Marion. They were married November 14, 1951. They lived on various rental properties until settling down on her parent’s farm northeast of Marion for a number of years. During this time Vernon continued as foreman of the OK until he was able to move his mother off the ranch and into Florence in 1953. At that time, Vernon left ranching and became a farmer along with holding various jobs at Reynolds Aluminum, the alfalfa mill, the Riddle quarry, Florence quarry, KP&amp;L, and helped build concrete culverts on Highway 77. Vernon quit farming in 1993 and by that time had been working at Marion Die and Fixture for 13 years. 

Vernon and Henrietta moved to town in 1969.

When Vernon was six weeks old, his family moved to the OK Ranch where Vernon’s father became the foreman of the OK. Vernon spent his childhood on the OK Ranch. He attended District 22 School then in 1939 he attended the Catholic School in Florence, Kansas. When his father passed away in 1940, Vernon had to return to country school and finish 8th grade, at the age of 14 with all of his older brothers married or in the military. Vernon had to take over as foreman of the OK Ranch. He took pride in the fact that he was able to run the ranch and send his younger sister Dorothy through high school and care for both her and his mother.Vernon met the love of his life, Henrietta Stika, at a cake walk held at the Youngtown school northeast of Marion. They were married November 14, 1951. They lived on various rental properties until settling down on her parent’s farm northeast of Marion for a number of years. During this time Vernon continued as foreman of the OK until he was able to move his mother off the ranch and into Florence in 1953. At that time, Vernon left ranching and became a farmer along with holding various jobs at Reynolds Aluminum, the alfalfa mill, the Riddle quarry, Florence quarry, KP&amp;L, and helped build concrete culverts on Highway 77. Vernon quit farming in 1993 and by that time had been working at Marion Die and Fixture for 13 years. Vernon and Henrietta moved to town in 1969. He retired from Die and Fixture in 2000. Retirement was spent fishing and helping his kids with one project or another.
