Consuelo “Chelo” Diaz, age 95 of Salina, died on Saturday, March 12, 2022, after a brief illness. She was born in Havana, Cuba on December 27, 1926, and lived there until 1961 when she emigrated with her family to the United States after the Cuban revolution.

Settling in Kansas City with relatives and speaking little English, she was able to complete her bachelor’s degree in languages at the University of Missouri in 1965. She then moved to Lawrence, Kansas, the same year to pursue a master’s in Spanish studies at the University of Kansas.

In 1968, Chelo and her two children moved to Salina, where she began teaching languages and literature at Kansas Wesleyan. Her career there spanned three decades – she was still in the classroom at age 80! She reveled in teaching and was loved by her many students who looked in on her over the years.

Besides her children, her passions were languages, classical music, and chocolate. An accomplished pianist, she played the piano nearly every day for most of her life.

Her greatest achievement was raising two children successfully alone in a foreign country after leaving Cuba with nothing more than the clothes on their backs.

She is survived by her son Mike Diaz and wife, Kim, of Salina, and her daughter Sylvia D’Angelo and husband Jim of Minneapolis, MN., and several nieces and nephews.

Chelo was preceded in death by her husband, Otto Diaz, her father, Santiago Coca, her mother Rosa Garganta de Choca and siblings, Maria Dolores, Rosita, Margarita, Santiago, Ramon, and Maria.

The family would like to thank the staff of Reflections Home Plus and Legacy at Salina.

Private services will be held for family only.

Donations may be made in her name to Kansas Wesleyan University or to The Land Institute, both of Salina, Kansas.

<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Nathan-Stanton">Obituary for Nathan David Stanton | Ryan Mortuary</a>

Nathan David Stanton, beloved husband, father, son, encourager and friend, died on Saturday, March 12th, 2022 at the age of 52 in his home in Salina, Kansas at the end of a brave two year battle with ALS.

Nathan was born on July 15, 1969, in Salina, Kansas, the son of Marshall P. Stanton and Janice (Duryee) Stanton, having childhood homes in Salina, Colby and Hutchinson before graduating from Salina Central High School in 1987, Kansas Wesleyan University (BA) in 1991, St. Paul School of Theology (M. Divinity) in 1996, and Kansas State University (MA, Theater) in 1999.

On December 17, 1994, Nathan married Brenda (Meyers) in her hometown of Kiowa, Kansas. Their 27 years of marriage took them on adventures in the early years from pursuing their masters degrees together as poor graduate students, to acting as resident directors for KWU while Nathan worked as a drug and alcohol prevention coordinator at Central Kansas Foundation and then into their lifelong ministry in the United Methodist Church. 

Nathan’s first appointment was at St. Mark’s UMC in Wichita in 1999. From there, they went on to minister at Plains-Kismet, Anthony, and Wichita Pleasant Valley UMCs. After 14 faithful years serving in local parishes, Nathan was honored to be appointed to the Great Plains Conference of the United Methodist Church as new church development coordinator and in 2017, to his final professional title and one of his greatest joys, as director of congregational excellence.

In Nathan’s four years as coordinator for new church development, 13 new congregations were formed, a majority of which were predominantly Black, Hispanic and African congregations. He introduced Planter Incubator and Crucible programs for growing new churches, and he developed the 20 By 2020 plan to grow congregations in the Great Plains.

Nathan experienced so much joy during his brief 52 years of earthly life. Some of the greatest were experienced on the sidelines of ballgames, watching his boys play ball or wrestling. After his own football and wrestling experiences in high school and college, this was his pride as a father. His face lit up whenever one of his boys walked into a room. Nathan and Brenda shared a love of theatre and literature. So much time was spent enjoying movies and quietly reading together over a big cup of coffee.

Most of all, Nathan was loved. He was a friend to so many, always ready with a laugh and a word of encouragement. He was a leader, a mentor and had the ability to fill up a room with his silent, thoughtful strength. The twinkle in his eye, the dimple in his cheek and that contagious laugh would make you feel like the most important person in his world.

He was survived by his wife Brenda and three sons, Noah, Isaac and Eli, his parents Marshall and Janice, and two siblings, Eric (Judy) and Kirsten (Raleigh). He had nephews Jordan, Gabriel, Aaron and Henry, and nieces Mary Rachel, Shelby, Alison, Olivia, McKenna and Madison.

Funeral services will be at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, March 18, 2022 in Sams Chapel at Kansas Wesleyan University. Visitation will be made available immediately prior to the service, beginning at 1:00 p.m. A private graveside service will take place at a future date. 

Memorials can be made to the Nathan Stanton Memorial Fund or to Kansas Wesleyan University, care of Ryan Mortuary, Salina.

<a href="https://www.yazelmeglifh.com/obituaries/francisca-de-la-rosa-1">Francisca De La Rosa Obituary 2022 - Yazel - Megli Funeral Homes (yazelmeglifh.com)</a>

Francisca’s life began on September 17, 1928, in Matanzas, Cuba. She is the third of five children born to Luis and Julia (Medina) Castillo. 

She received a degree in accounting and went on to work for a business in Cuba in that field. 

Francisca married Orlando De La Rosa in April of 1957. Two girls were born into this relationship. When Castro took over Cuba, both Orlando and Francisca were removed from their jobs and forced into menial labor. When given the choice they decided they would leave Cuba with one suitcase for the four of them and move to the United States in 1970. Francisca took a job working for Del Mar Blinds in California. She was always willing to do whatever it took to make sure her daughters could enjoy the freedom she had lost in Cuba.

 Francisca loved to craft, sew, crochet, and knit. She was also an avid gardener and grew a variety of flowers. Most of all, Francisca loved her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. It was that love of family that led to her moving to Kansas in 2000 so she could be a part of their lives.

Francisca is survived by her daughter Millie (Dean) Claassen of Whitewater, KS, grandchildren Adriana (Brock) Pena of Emporia, KS, Michael (Natalie) Claassen of Newton, KS, Daniel (Morgan) Claassen of Emporia, KS, and great-grandchildren Gracelyn, Natalie, Lydia, Kaylie, and Rori.

Francisca at the age of 93, passed away on Friday, March 11, 2022, at Wheat State Manor in Whitewater, KS. 

She leaves a legacy of never complaining and being content in whatever trials came her way. Some of those included having to learn to cook when her second daughter was born since their servants were taken by Castro. Having to learn a new language at 42 when she moved to the States. Having to raise her daughters by herself four years later when her husband passed away. Having to learn to deal with cold and snow when she moved to Kansas. She regularly said if God wills then we’ll do this cheerfully. 

She is preceded in death by her husband Orlando and daughter Aurora De La Rosa.

Graveside service, led by Pastor Tim Mace, will be held 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, March 16, 2022, at Haldeman Cemetery, Potwin, KS. Lamb Funeral Home of Whitewater is serving the family. 

Memorial Contributions in Francisca’s name may be made to Wheat State Manor.

Wilma (Billie) M. Ecton, 87, of Solomon, passed away on March 10, 2022, in Abilene, Kansas. She was born Wilma Marie Meehan on March 15, 1934, on a farm near Niles, Kansas to Patrick and Emma (Pattison) Meehan. She spent all her adult life in Solomon.

Billie was preceded in death by her husband Leonard; son John Ecton; daughter Sharon (Ecton) Robinson; sister Phyllis Sweeney; and brother Kenneth Meehan.

She is survived by daughter Patty (Ecton) McBrayer and husband Darwin of Maumelle, AR; son Mike Ecton and wife Jaelyn of Solomon, six grandchildren, Kelly and Shannon McBrayer, Dalton, Kinsey and Logan Ecton, and Maddison Robinson; and brother Elwin Meehan.

Billie really enjoyed working with the public. She met many people while working at Tony’s Pizza in Salina, Alco/Duckwall in Abilene, Bush’s Market in Solomon and, finally, retiring from Salina Regional Medical Center where she worked in the cafeteria for many years. 

She truly never knew a stranger. You could always count on a smile and a hug from Billie no matter where you saw her. She was an inspiration to all to be kind and caring towards everyone you meet.

Kathleen Ann Hanson, age 86, of Salina, Kansas, went to be with the Lord on March 12 after a courageous battle with MDS and leukemia.

Katy was born on December 30, 1935, to Donald and Mary Kern in rural Brown County, Kansas. Katy grew up on a farm near Hamlin and attended a one-room country school before graduating from Hamlin High School in 1953. She went on to study cosmetology in St. Joseph, MO.

Katy enjoyed quilting and counted cross stitch and was an avid reader. She was known for her baking, especially for the Swedish rye bread and coffee bread that she generously shared with family and friends, and the many types of cookies she would make at Christmas. She also collected Kewpie dolls and Snowbabies and had the opportunity to add to her collection when traveling with Doug for his work. Katy treasured their trips to Colorado, which was her favorite place to visit. She was a member of the Lindsborg Covenant Church for many years.

In addition to her husband, Doug, she is survived by Mike and wife Bridget of Olathe, Rick and wife Linda of Salina, Rob and Carol, and Steve and wife Jennifer of Prairie Village; nine grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; and sister Mary Schlegel of Roeland Park.
