<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/John-Miller">Obituary for John Wayne Miller | Ryan Mortuary</a>

February 10, 1926 ~ January 16, 2022 (age 95)

John Wayne Miller, 96, of Salina, KS passed away on January 16, 2022, with his two children at his side.

John was born on January 10, 1926, in Peabody, KS, the son of Harry and Iva (Converse) Miller. On February 10, 1946, John was united in marriage to his high school sweetheart, Janet Anderson, in Lyons, KS.

Much of John’s work history involved being in sales – he was proud of his ability to make friends and remember names of those he had done business with.

John enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps during his senior year in high school, and though he never saw any action, being a member of the armed forces was something of which he was very proud. 

He and Jan were married in 1946 shortly after his discharge from the Air Corps, and made their first home in Lyons, Kansas. He was part owner of the first Dairy Queen franchise in Lyons and was fire chief on the volunteer fire department. 

Both children were born in Lyons; the family moved a few times before settling in Wichita, where they lived until John and Jan’s retirements in 1986. 

Their new home became Bella Vista, Arkansas, where they loved playing golf, being active with a large circle of friends, both in their church and in the community. John created some amazing woodworking projects; he and Jan remained in Bella Vista until moving to Salina in 2012 to be closer to family. They were residents of Salina Presbyterian Manor and enjoyed many happy years there before health concerns required them to reside in healthcare.

Survivors include his wife Jan, of nearly 76 years; two children, Susan Grosser (Craig), of Salina, KS; and Gregg Miller (Pam), of Wichita, KS; grandchildren Ryan Crist (Kristin), of Abilene, KS; Adam Crist (Brandy), of Lincoln, NE; Erin Bryant (Matt), of Omaha, NE; Jami Grosser (Shelbi Long), of Sonoma, CA; Hayley Grosser, of Wichita, KS; Lyndi Cox (Vincent) of Topeka, KS; Lance Miller (Hollie), of Wichita, KS; great-grandchildren Olivia and Ava Crist; Connor Crist; Emily, Megan, and Tanner Bryant; Lauren and Keaton Cox; Emree and Gracyn Miller.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his two sisters.

Cremation was chosen and a reception for family and friends will be held at a later date.

The family would like to give special recognition to the wonderful, compassionate care John received from the staff at Salina Presbyterian Manor and Kindred Hospice. We are totally humbled by the outpouring of support and love from these heroes and angels.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be given to the Salina Presbyterian Manor Employee Christmas Fund, in care of Salina Presbyterian Manor, 2601 E. Crawford St., Salina, KS 67401. Please designate “Employee Fund"

<a href="https://www.stockhamfamily.com/obituaries/Philip-Nelson-3/#!/PhotosVideos">Philip Todd Nelson Obituary - Visitation &amp; Funeral Information (stockhamfamily.com)</a>

Philip Todd Nelson, 59, of rural Windom, Kansas, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, January 4, 2022, on the farm with his wife, Susan, by his side. He was a farmer, and he and his wife owned and operated Nelson Ag Seeds. Philip was born on March 22, 1962, in McPherson, Kansas, the son of Verlyn L. and Wanda L. (Swick) Nelson. He graduated from Little River High School in 1980. On April 20, 1991, Philip married Jalane Marie Merrill at the Andover Lutheran Church, Windom. This union was blessed with three sons, Justin, Jonah, and Jacob. Jalane preceded Philip in death on May 28, 2010. On January 10, 2015, Philip was united in marriage to Susan Christine (Akers) Rush at New Hope Evangelical Church, McPherson. With this union, Philip gained five more children, Amanda, Andrew, Aaron, Adam, and Abigail. Upon graduation from high school, Philip bought a grain truck and went to work hauling grain to the Port of Catoosa in Tulsa, Oklahoma. It wasn’t long into this entrepreneurial adventure that he realized he couldn’t make a living hauling grain, founded Nelson Tank Service and went to work in the oil field. Later, Philip began farming full time at age 40. Philip’s life was enriched with the birth of each of his three sons! He loved them deeply and was passionate in sharing his love for the farm and nature with them as well as following their many school and extracurricular activities. After several years of singleness, Philip met Susan through a mutual friend who would work for two years trying to get both of them convinced that they needed to consent to a “blind date.” In August of 2014 this date finally took place and as they say, “The rest is history!” Upon his remarriage, he gained more children and later would often comment that his family circle enlarged in delightful ways he had never imagined. Philip and Susan found that their humor, alongside their faith in Jesus Christ, would be what they needed to carry them through the many hard times that were on the horizon. Which, much to their surprise would include a diagnosis of prostate cancer just twenty short days after they said, “I do.” In the summer of 2017, Philip and his wife were approached by a Kansas seed company and presented with the opportunity to start their own agricultural seed dealership. After much prayer and discussion, they made the decision to launch their business venture, Nelson Ag Seeds. Philip loved the seed business as much as he loved farming. His seed customers really weren’t “customers” to him, but truly his friends! It was important to Philip that he helped customers select products that made them successful in their farming endeavors. Philip’s cancer would remain relentless over the course of seven years but as a couple, they stood tightly together, taking on each new step of the illness as it unfolded. Susan was proud of her husband in the way he continued to live, and love and work; he refused to let cancer steal his joy and zest for life, even though he knew early on that his illness would never be cured. Oftentimes Philip would say, "I have cancer but cancer doesn't have me!" The fear of facing one’s mortality was turned to sweetness as witnessed through the transformation Philip would undergo, as his faith grew stronger and stronger and his days grew shorter and shorter. Philip did some of his hardest and best personal work in his final days, growing closer and closer to his Savior, ultimately realizing and embracing his Savior’s unconditional love for him! Philip would openly tell anyone that he came to terms with the fact he had lived most of his life with “religion” rather than an authentic relationship with his Savior. This past fall, the workload of harvest, planting, and caring for ag seed customers was a daunting task with the extent of the disease that was burdening his body. Yet, Philip in his true farm boy fashion kept pushing through the grueling workload and accomplished the tasks set before him. Philip remained committed, literally working in the field and filling his seed customers’ orders with help of his wife, children, two volunteers from the organization, “Farm Rescue,” and some Mennonite friends who lovingly helped Philip finish his final farming season strong! As with farming, Philip and Susan would work their seed business side by side until Philip’s passing. They were a true partnership in business and in life and loved being together! One of their favorite activities was “putting” along on the back roads in their Jeep together just taking in the views. Philip loved his family, seed customers, and community; he extended a helping hand to anyone in need, served on the local school board, as well as 40 years as a volunteer firefighter. He was a mover and a shaker, entrepreneurial in spirit, and beyond talented and skilled with his hands; there was nothing he couldn’t design, build, or fix! He had a gregarious spirit, was ornery to his core, and his smile couldn’t be contained to just his lips but instead radiated across his entire face. Susan said it best when she stated: “I was always enamored with the way his eyes “spoke” when he smiled.” He was smitten with his five grandchildren; the joy they brought to him was evident! Philip went onto hospice care on December 17, 2021, and entered the loving arms of his Savior Tuesday morning, January 4, 2022, at 8:35 a.m., at home on his farm. Though there were many dangers, toils, and snares along his earthly journey, Philip finished his race strong and the enemy did not overtake him! The Lord lovingly fulfilled his promises to Philip, “…bestowing a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.” Isaiah 61:3 Survivors include: his loving wife, Susan of the home; eight children, Justin (Kayley) Nelson of Hesston, KS, Jonah Nelson of Fort Sill, OK, Jacob Nelson of Apopka, FL, Amanda George of McPherson, KS, Andrew (Lacey) Rush of McPherson, KS, Aaron (Elise) Rush of Wichita, KS, Adam (Rose) Rush of Goessel, KS, and Abigail Rush of McPherson, KS; his mother, Wanda Nelson of Windom, KS; a sister, Cheri (Roger) Aufdemberge of Mitchell, KS; an aunt, Clarice Byers of McPherson, KS; grandchildren, Emma, Alyvia, and Kason George, Madison Rush, and Evalynn Rush; and many, many extended family and friends. His father and first wife preceded him in death. Due to COVID, a private celebration of life service will be held in honor of Philip and the many lives he has touched, on Wednesday, January 19, 2022, at 10:30 a.m. His service will be live-streamed so that all can join in this celebration. The service will be available to watch via live-stream by clicking on the following link:&nbsp;<a href="https://boxcast.tv/view/wednesday-1030am-funeral-rga4yx3hfcwoyeaxpq84" target="_blank">https://boxcast.tv/view/wednesday-1030am-funeral-rga4yx3hfcwoyeaxpq84</a>. Memorials can be made to the Cancer Center of Kansas “McPherson location,” or to Farm Rescue, a 501c3 organization that helps farmers in crisis. Philip’s wishes are that memorials given to the Cancer Center of Kansas go towards the purchase of a blanket warmer to comfort patients.

<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Wayne-Hunter">Obituary for Wayne Howard Hunter | Ryan Mortuary</a>

December 29, 1937 ~ January 18, 2022 (age 84)

Wayne Howard Hunter, 84, or “Cowboy” as he loved to be called, passed away on January 18, 2022, after a long, full life. Wayne was a recent resident at Riverview Estates in Marquette, formerly living in Lyons, KS.

Wayne was born on December 29, 1937, the fourth of eight children born to Joseph W. and Dorothy M. (Stratman) Hunter on the family farm in Rice County near Geneseo, KS. He graduated from Geneseo High School in 1956.

Wayne married Joy Sanders in 1962 and they were blessed with three children: Wayne H. Hunter, Jr. (Sonny), Kristina Ann Hunter, and Jeffrey James Hunter. Wayne and Joy later divorced.

Wayne worked on the family farm in the early years and on dairies and farms in Kansas. Wayne eventually drove trucks including delivering Medina products for his dad's business as well as delivering for Columbia Windows &amp; Doors, Lindsborg. He truly loved truck driving and delivered grain to elevators on semis into his 70s.

Wayne was preceded in death by his parents, his siblings John Warren Hunter, Velta Joyce Hunter, Estelle Schmidt, Joan Kruse, Clayton Hunter, Homer Hunter, and son-in-law Ed Nelson.

Wayne is survived by his children Sonny Hunter (Kathy Burton) Geneseo, KS, Kris Nelson, Temple, TX, and Jeff Hunter (Keitha), Lubbock, TX, his grandchildren Nancy Nelson, Michael Nelson, Crystal Hunter, Lance Hunter, Ashley (Hunter) Harrison, 11 great-grandchildren, three stepgrandchildren, eight stepgreat-grandchildren, Wayne's sister and brother-in-law Phyllis and Scott Gray, Salina, KS, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Wayne was a long-time fan of Barton Community College basketball and until recently didn't miss many home games. He loved rodeos and attended as many as possible all over Kansas yearly.

Per Wayne's wishes, he will be cremated, his ashes scattered, and he requested no funeral service. A celebration of his life may be announced later for friends and family.

Memorials may be made to Wayne's church, King's Cross Church, 212 S. Pioneer St., Lyons, KS 67554, Barton Community College Athletic Dept., or the donor's choice.

Norma Jean Richardson, 93, of Hillsboro, Texas, died Monday, January 17, 2022, at Homestead Nursing Home in Hillsboro. She was born August 21, 1928, in Salina, Kansas, to Arthur Joshua and Tena Olivia Holmquist Olson. 

Jean was raised on the family’s Valley View Farm near Assaria, Kansas, confirmed at the Assaria Lutheran Church and graduated in 1946 from Assaria High School. 

In 1950, Norma Jean earned a music education degree from Bethany College, Lindsborg, Kansas, with the trombone as her principal instrument. Her first teaching position was in Cawker City, where she met her future husband, Robert Jasper Richardson. Jean also taught music and English in elementary schools in Ellsworth and Manhattan, Kansas.

Bob and Jean were married on Palm Sunday, April 11, 1954, while Bob was on leave from the Marine Corps. Upon Bob’s graduation from Kansas State University in 1957, the couple settled in Cawker City. Bob joined the family business, Richardson Manufacturing Company, Inc., and Jean’s passion was raising the couple’s three children, Heidi, Natasha and Steve.

 Jean was an avid reader and gardener, she led choir and vacation Bible school, served as district president of Kansas Federation of Women’s Clubs, and she supported Christian missionaries around the globe. Jean led a Children’s Evangelism Fellowship meeting in her home in Cawker each week for many years, sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ.&nbsp;

Upon Bob’s retirement, the couple traveled extensively, and in 1997 they moved their primary residence to Hillsboro, Texas. After Bob’s diagnosis with multiple sclerosis, Jean served as Bob’s caregiver and travel partner until his death on January 15, 2008.

In Hillsboro, Jean was active in Esther Class of First Baptist Church, Monday Review Club, Hillsboro Garden Club, and she served as president of Hill County Republican Women. Her participation in the Senior Circle exercise class of Hill Regional Hospital led to weekly coffee meetings full of conversation and laughter with several dear Hillsboro friends.

Norma Jean was preceded in death by her husband and parents, sisters Betty Louise Hanson and Doris Kathryn Park, brother Robert Dean Olson, and son in law John Speasmaker.

Survivors include her children Heidi Speasmaker of Round Rock, Texas, Natasha Sawyer (John) of Hillsboro, and Steven Richardson of Cawker City, her grandchildren Alex Speasmaker, Elizabeth Speasmaker Andrews (Joshua), Walker Sawyer and Allison Sawyer, and her great-grandson, Emmett Lee Andrews.

Funeral services will be at 10 a.m., Monday, January 24 at the Cawker City United Methodist Church. Visitation will take place before the service and the casket will remain closed.
