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. Kathryn is also survived by 19 grandchildren, 36 great-grandchildren, her brother Willard Keding of Lindsborg, sister Clarice Hayes of Angier, NC, her beloved companion Warren Webster and numerous nieces and nephews. 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.

The family would like to express their heartfelt thanks to Kindred Hospice of McPherson and Bethany Village.

<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. 

He is survived by his wife Barbara; son Jeremy (Lara) Kvasnicka; daughter Erin (Seth) Streit; grandchildren Derek (Katie) Kvasnicka, Kena Kvasnicka, Dylan Streit, Madison Streit, Chalee Francis, and Gage Francis; sisters Caryle Ward, Jana Ward Tate, Gayla (Clyde) Wilson, and Lesa (Monty) Fox; sister-in-law Lori Ward; brothers Kim (Debbie) Ward and Monte Ward; and brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law Cheryl and Gordon Bretz and Greg and Wilma Burger. He is also survived by many, many nieces, nephews, grandnieces, and grandnephews that he loved so very much.

There will be a graveside memorial service at the Lucas Cemetery on December 15, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. for friends and family.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the Lucas Public Library, c/o Parsons Funeral Home, P.O. Box 45, Ellsworth, KS 67439.&nbsp;

October 11, 1943 ~ December 5, 2021 (age 78)

Jackie Lee Butterfield, 78, of Salina, Kan., went to be with the Lord on Sunday, December 5, 2021.&nbsp; He was born in Inman, Neb., to Justin “Tut” and Mable (Gaughenbaugh) Butterfield on October 11, 1943.&nbsp; 

He leaves behind to cherish his precious memories, his son Lee Butterfield, of Salina; daughter Lori (Butterfield) Betterley, Platte City, Mo.; loving granddaughters Jackie Betterley, Salina, and Cassie Betterley, Kansas City, Mo.; three great-grandchildren, Rylea, Tralynn, and Kagerick; brothers Chuck, Larry, and Danny, and their families; and sister Karen, and her family.&nbsp; 

He is preceded in death by his parents, three brothers, and two sisters. &nbsp;

Jackie enjoyed many things during his life. His biggest love was his family and friends. He always made sure to be there to support his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren by attending all the dance recitals, music programs, and band concerts he could make it to.&nbsp; Jack also tried to attend family reunions, weddings, and birthday parties of extended family and friends. 

His second love was truck driving. His love for driving started with his career at Landstar and lasted 30 years. As much as Jack loved his family, he also loved the open road. He shared this love with his family and took them on many wonderful family vacations. His orneriness and laughter always made these trips even more special. He will always be remembered for his laughter and smile. &nbsp;

The family will be receiving visitors from 10 to 11 a.m. Thursday, December 9, at Ryan Mortuary, Salina, with service to follow at 11 a.m. Burial will be at Prospect Hill Cemetery, O’Neill, Neb.
