 Patricia worked for Duckwalls Five and Dime store, then moved onto working for the city of Marion as the deputy city clerk. Pat was also the manager of the Hilltop Manor in Marion for several years. 

Growing up in the Depression taught Pat many valuable lessons which she passed on to her children. She was an excellent seamstress, loved to cook and cater for occasions; she was a skilled cake decorator and took pride in caring for her family. Pat enjoyed socializing with friends in the Neo-century club, her card clubs and bowling. She enjoyed travelling and stayed active throughout her life.

scary to those that just saw him, he was a big teddy bear to those of us
 that were lucky enough to know him. His voice, laughter, and everything
 that is Joe "MF" Hartman will always live on.

<a href="https://www.stockhamfamily.com/obituaries/Dale-Frans/">Dale Gene Frans Obituary - Visitation &amp; Funeral Information (stockhamfamily.com)</a>

Dale Gene Frans, 74 of McPherson, KS, passed away on Tuesday, October 12, 2021, after a courageous nine year battle with pulmonary fibrosis. Ever a feisty and surprising man, he refused to be defined by the disease, living an active life for nearly a decade after his diagnosis. Born to Ray and Lillian Frans on June 1, 1947, Dale grew up in McPherson, KS with his older sister Cheri and younger brother Dennis. He graduated from McPherson High School in 1965.

Dale went on to serve his country with the United States Army in 1966. Stationed in Germany during the Vietnam War, he worked primarily in communications. 

After being honorably discharged, Dale returned to McPherson and began a career in flooring installation at Reggie’s Floor Covering. He later started Frans and Frans Installation with his brother Dennis, and continued to work in the industry throughout his life. A creative and adventurous man, Dale loved being outdoors, going camping, hiking, fishing, and searching for arrowheads. He had a green thumb, with a particular talent for cultivating wildflower gardens and cacti. Dale was an avid reader and enjoyed researching Native American history. He enjoyed putting together model airplanes, making his own arrowheads, and painting landscapes. Music was important to him throughout his life. He especially loved to listen to and play drums. Dale drummed and sang as an original member of the band “King Midas and the Muflers,” and never lost his love for listening to music - as often, and as loud as he could!

Dale also loved family, and took particular joy in the lives and accomplishments of his children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. One of Dale’s greatest gifts was his ability to connect with people. He was an unassuming and down-to-earth man who loved to joke around. His authentic and playful outlook drew others to him. Throughout his life, he modeled resilience, problem solving, humility, the ability to admit one’s mistakes, and never giving up. Dale openly shared about the ups and downs of his own life making it easy for others to relate. He taught those in his life to never judge a book by its cover, to give and receive grace, and to value nature’s beauty over material possessions. Dale’s legacy lives on in these lessons. Dale is survived by daughters: Daisy Myrick (Steve) of Liberty, MO, Jennifer Mizell of Canton, KS, Angela Strovas (Tim) of Seattle, WA, and Elkie Burnside of Amherst, MA; four granddaughters: Mia and Molly Myrick and Grace and June Mizell; a sister, Cheri Wray of McPherson, KS; sister-in-law, Janet Frans of McPherson, KS and many extended family and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, brother Dennis, and niece Heather Lynn Frans. A celebration of Dale’s life will be held on October 18, 2021, at 1 p.m. at The Presbyterian Church, McPherson, KS. Burial with&nbsp; military honors will follow at McPherson Cemetery.

<a href="https://www.mcdonaldrobertsfuneralservice.com/obituary/anita-eilert">Obituary | Anita Eilert of Beloit, Kansas | Roberts Family Funeral Service (mcdonaldrobertsfuneralservice.com)</a>

Anita Madeline Eilert was born July 26, 1928 to Ted and Catherine Brummer in Tipton, KS. She died Thursday, October 14, 2021 at the Resident Care Center in Beloit, Kansas at the age of 93.

Her mother passed away when she was only three and she and her younger sister Bernese were raised by their grandparents, Henry and Madeline Schulte. She attended school and grew up in Tipton.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

She married George Eilert September 6, 1949. Thirteen children were born to this union. They greatly enjoyed 67 years of marriage together until he died in August 2016.

She worked in the home preparing good home-cooked meals and caring for her children. She was noted for her cooking and enjoyed doing it. She was a good homemaker and always had meals on time with everyone eating at the table together. Her specialty was pies and having some in the freezer for company was like gold.&nbsp;

After the kids grew up, she began working outside of the home, first for Marie Lewis cooking at the nursing home and later at the Beloit Youth Center in the kitchen for 16 ½ years retiring in 1988.&nbsp;

Her hobbies were working with her flowers and embroidering and each child enjoyed a set of towels she embroidered for them each Christmas for many years.&nbsp; The highlight of her life was family and she took pride in getting them all together for the holidays.&nbsp;

Her Catholic faith was always important to her and she was a member of the Ladies Guild for many years.&nbsp;

In addition to her husband George, she was preceded in death by her parents; her daughter Debbie; and her sister Bernese Thorpe.

Anita is survived by children Kathy (Dave) Scott of Glen Elder, Marlene Jaso of Louisville, KY, Darlene Fischer of Gardner, KS, Sondra (John) Richardson of Belleville, KS, Diane (Larry) Glauser of Glen Elder, Mary (John) Quinley of Salina, Joan (Bill) Meyensburg of Salina, Tim (Betty) Eilert of Beloit, Henry (Betty) Eilert of Concordia, Gary (Susan) Eilert of Beloit, Karen (Brad) Kesl of Hays, and Donna (Scott) Remus of Glen Elder; 26 grandchildren; numerous great-grandchildren; and a host of many relatives and friends.

<a href="https://www.mcdonaldrobertsfuneralservice.com/obituary/joe-wise">Obituary | Joe Wise of Cawker City, Kansas | Roberts Family Funeral Service (mcdonaldrobertsfuneralservice.com)</a>

Joe Lynn Wise, 67, of Cawker City, Kansas, passed away unexpectedly on October 13h, 2021.&nbsp; Joe was born June 24th, 1954 in Beloit, Kansas to Eugene and Lois Wise.&nbsp;

 Joe attended Cawker City Elementary and learned how to work hard at an early age; driving his Grandpa Wieranga’s tractor at three or four years old (depending on which age he decided when he was telling the story).&nbsp; &nbsp;

Joe was very clever and learned how to get away with things.&nbsp; Joe’s siblings reported that as a child, he had an imaginary friend called “Leo the Lion." &nbsp; Somehow whenever Joe got blamed for doing something naughty, he always blamed it on Leo the Lion, thinking he could get away with it.&nbsp; 

Joe graduated from Waconda East High School in 1972.&nbsp; Shortly after his high school graduation, Joe started his venture into the construction business.&nbsp; &nbsp; Throughout his years of construction work, Joe had the pleasure of working with his brother, Dick, his sons, other family members and many friends. &nbsp; Before retiring, he was so proud and had the wonderful experience of working for his son Skyler, who shares the same love of the trade.

On August 20th, 197, Joe married the love of his life, Barbara Colby. &nbsp; After their union, Barb and Joe decided to start their new life together in Cawker City, Kansas. &nbsp; They bought a small plot of land, moved a small house on it and this was the start of the “Wise Mansion.”&nbsp; &nbsp;

To this union three children were born: Jake, Felisha, and Skyler.

 Joe instilled his hard work ethic and dedication to getting a job done in his children.&nbsp; Throughout the years Joe used his spare time to salvage old houses, taking any items from the house that could be used as building materials. By doing this and with his hard work ethic, you can see his mission of his dream house was accomplished. We have a wonderful reminder of his artistic carpentry skills in every room of the house.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Between his many years of construction work, Joe was a STAR mail route carrier, servicing people in Tipton and Hunter. Many of the people on his mail route noted that he went above and beyond his job duty. Through this work he developed many great friendships. 

One of Joe’s favorite pastimes was riding his motorcycle.&nbsp; He had many adventures with his best friend and brother Dick. We are pretty sure the family still hasn’t heard all the true stories of Sturgis. Joe had a love of gardening. He had a green thumb and always raised the best produce.&nbsp; He was very meticulous and weeds didn’t have a chance to grow!&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

The pride and joy of his life were not only his children, but also his grandchildren. Many weekends were spent playing with them and giving them many rides on his golf cart. The grandkids loved helping their papa work in the garden, cleaning up the yard or even helping work around the house. Joe had a very caring and giving heart. He would always lend a helping hand, even doing tough work for others.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Joe is survived by his wife, Barb, of the home, Cawker City, Kansas; son Jake Wise of Salina, Kansas; daughter Felisha Bland and husband Mark of Lucas, Kansas; son Skyler Wise and wife Michelle of Cawker City, Kansas; brother Dick Wise (Sue) of Cawker City, Kansas; sisters Majean Schneider of Downs, Kansas; Jayne VandiRiet of Downs, Kansas; Judy Cook (Tom) of Parkville, Missouri; Callie Bader (Steve) of Cawker City, Kansas; sister-in-law Ruth Tanis (Jim) of Hays, Kansas; and grandchildren Annaleise, Hadley, Maci, Cohen, Teegan, Morgan and Norah.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

He was preceded in death by his parents, Eugene and Lois Wise; brother Mac Wise; brother-in-law Jim Schneider and brother-in-law Randy VandeRiet.

Joe was taken to his heavenly home far too soon. He would ask you to miss him a little but not for long. Instead, remember the love he had for his most precious family and friends. As the morning sun rises, remember he is with you in spirit and will greet you again one day when you take your journey to heaven.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Funeral services will be at 10:30 a.m. Monday, October 18 at the Cawker City United Methodist Church. Visitation will be from 5-7 p.m. Sunday at the Church. Memorials may be given to the Joe Wise Scholarship Fund.

Kristi Cranwell, 50, of Hays, formerly of Chapman, passed away October 12, 2021 at Hays Medical Center. She was born in Junction City April 29, 1971, the daughter of Gary and Marge (Hall) Gfeller. 

She grew up in the Chapman area, graduating from Chapman High School in 1989. She went on to receive a bachelor degree in ag business at Kansas State University and her master of science at the University of Nebraska. 

She worked in sales for Woofter Construction and Irrigation Company in Colby. She was also an adjunct professor of agriculture at Fort Hays State University. 

On March 5, 1996, she was united in marriage to Clyde Cranwell in Las Vegas, Nevada. 

She was many things to many people, but Kristi was best at being a mom. She served everyone in such a personal way and there isn’t a person who met Kristi that doesn’t have a fond memory of her. She was a giver to all and brought energy into every room she entered. She loved nothing more than spending time outside in the sun when she wasn’t busy shuffling kids around. She loved reading, church, and her family. She was a motivator, mentor and supporter that leaves both a legacy and an irreplaceable void in the hearts of the many people she touched. 

Kristi is survived by her loving husband Clyde of the home and five daughters, Amanda, Emily, Megan, Haley, and Kaycee. She also leaves behind her parents, one brother, Steve (Christa) Gfeller of Chapman and two sisters, Sally (Dr. Kenny) Johnson of Assaria and Dr. Kim (Kelly) Kirkham of Hugoton as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Funeral services will be 2:00 p.m., Saturday, October 16, 2021, at the Alida Upland Co-Op Church, 2243 3300 Ave., Junction City, KS, with Pastor Allen Hodges officiating. Burial will follow at the Alida Church. Family will receive friends Friday evening from 6-8 p.m. at the Londeen-Overlease Funeral Chapel in Chapman. 

The family suggests memorials be given to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation or to the Kansas 4-H Foundation. 

Memorials may be dropped off at the funeral home or mailed to Londeen-Overlease Funeral Chapel, P.O. Box 411, Chapman, Kansas 67431.

She served everyone in such a personal way and there isn’t a person who met Kristi that doesn’t have a fond memory of her. She was a giver to all and brought energy into every room she entered. She loved nothing more than spending time outside in the sun when she wasn’t busy shuffling kids around. She loved reading, church, and her family. She was a motivator, mentor and supporter that leaves both a legacy and an irreplaceable void in the hearts of the many people she touched. Kristi is survived by her loving husband Clyde of the home and five daughters, Amanda, Emily, Megan, Haley, and Kaycee. She also leaves behind her parents, one brother, Steve (Christa) Gfeller of Chapman and two sisters, Sally (Dr. Kenny) Johnson of Assaria and Dr. Kim (Kelly) Kirkham of Hugoton as well as numerous nieces and nephews.Funeral services will be 2:00 p.m., Saturday, October 16, 2021, at the Alida Upland Co-Op Church, 2243 3300 Ave., Junction City, KS, with Pastor Allen Hodges officiating. Burial will follow at the Alida Church. Family will receive friends Friday evening from 6-8 p.m. at the Londeen-Overlease Funeral Chapel in Chapman. The family suggests memorials be given to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation or to the Kansas 4-H Foundation. Memorials may be dropped off at the funeral home or mailed to Londeen-Overlease Funeral Chapel, P.O. Box 411, Chapman, Kansas 67431. Online condolences may be sent to www.londeenfuneralchapel.com.
