September 14, 1930 ~ January 11, 2022 (age 91)

Curtis W. Syring, 91, of Herington, died Tuesday, January 11, 2022. Curtis was born at home September 14, 1930 at Rock Creek in Wabunsee County, Kansas, to Herman W. Syring and Alta V. (Kahle) Syring.&nbsp; He grew up in Alta Vista, Kansas. 

He loved learning and wholeheartedly participated in all aspects of education during his school years.&nbsp; He enjoyed and excelled in all school sports.&nbsp; After graduating from Alta Vista High School in 1948, Curtis enlisted in the United States Navy where he received education as an electrician.&nbsp; He was called back into active duty in 1952.&nbsp; During the Korean War, serving as electrician’s mate on board an LSM Navy ship. He was honorably discharged from the Navy in December of 1953.&nbsp;

Over the next few years Curtis worked in various areas of electric and automotive repair, before going to work for the Production Credit Association in Council Grove, Kansas.&nbsp; He was promoted to manager of Production Credit in Salina, Kansas in 1966.&nbsp; He continued his career in the agricultural loan division of Sunflower Bank as an assistant vice president in Salina and Russell until his retirement.&nbsp; He continued to do agricultural loan inspections for the bank up until two years ago.

Curtis’ father was a fine carpenter and taught him those skills from an early age.&nbsp; Curtis blessed his family and friends with many wood creations he fashioned in his wood shop.&nbsp; Along with his electrical knowledge, he also possessed a self-taught mechanical mind that could figure out how to fix just about anything.&nbsp; He always wanted to stay active and useful.

Curtis greatly enjoyed and participated in sports his entire life.&nbsp; He played baseball for community teams as a young man.&nbsp; He was a football and basketball official for many years.&nbsp; His greatest enjoyment was found on the golf course.&nbsp; He played golf as often as he possibly could for well over 50 years, playing his last round in November of 2019 when his health began to fail.

In 1952 he married Betty Pykiet from Council Grove.&nbsp; To that marriage were born his two children, Randy and Leanne.&nbsp; After that marriage ended, he and Peggy Holmes were united in marriage until Peggy passed away in 1998. &nbsp;Curtis was introduced to Audrey Lorenz who became his dearly beloved and constant companion until Audrey’s death in 2018.

Curtis is survived by his two children, Randy (Susie) of Salina, and Leanne Williams (Rich) of Council Grove; and a sister, Virginia Fisher of Council Grove.&nbsp; He was blessed with five grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren, as well as a nephew and three nieces.

The body was cremated.&nbsp; There will be a celebration of Curtis’s life at 10:30 a.m. Monday, January 17, 2022 at the Community Christian Church, 18 McCardell St, in Council Grove, Kansas, with Reverend Richard Williams officiating.

The family suggests that memorials be made to the First Tee Program in Salina, in care of Ryan Mortuary, Salina.

Alvin 'Al' W. Poppe

April 27, 1963 – January 10, 2022

A nurse on earth is now an angel in heaven.

Penni Dawn Britt-Heller, 58, died on January 10, 2022, at home in St. John, Kansas with her husband and family by her side.

Penni was born April 27, 1963, in Abilene, Kansas, to Jean 
Ellen (DeWeese) Britt and Gerald Duane (Sonny) Britt. The youngest of 
four children, she grew up on the family farm once owned by her great 
grandparents in the Willowdale Township of the Talmage community. It was
 there that her love for animals and all things farm life were nurtured.
 That love grew even more after she married Bruce Heller, and they moved
 to his farm in St. John, Kansas.

She attended Talmage Grade School, Chapman Middle School, and
 Chapman High School, graduating in 1981, before continuing her 
education in nursing.

Penni began a long and dedicated nursing career in 1985 after
 graduating from Asbury School of Nursing in Salina and worked in 
hospitals, clinics, and home health in Manhattan, Salina, Junction City,
 Price, Utah; Alma, Nebraska; Norton, Salina, and Pratt, and served as a
 traveling nurse early in her career, serving in Dallas and Hawaii.

She loved teaching others the art of nursing and served as a 
clinical instructor for Colby Community College from 1999-2010, while 
also earning her BSN in Nursing from Fort Hays University in 2006. Her 
former students continue to express their love and gratitude for all she
 taught them, including the friendly and caring manner with which she 
cared for them and her patients.

As much as she loved nursing, she loved time spent with 
family even more. The vacations, campouts, birthday celebrations, family
 reunions and other events that brought family together were important 
to her. Penni was a constant energetic, fun-loving wife, mother, 
daughter, sister, aunt, niece. cousin and friend who loved to make 
everyone smile and laugh.

She is survived by her husband, Bruce Heller of St. John; 
son, Drew Britt and wife Brianna of Cave Creek, AZ; mother, Jean Britt 
of Abilene; sister Shawni (John) Sheets of Abilene; Rory (Deb) Britt of 
Abilene; and Shane (Toni) Britt of Kansas City.

Also surviving are stepsons, David (Veronica) Heller of St. 
John; Derrick (Weslea) Johnson of Everett, Washington on Aircraft 
Carrier Nimitz; stepdaughter Kelsey Coe of Houston, Texas; and 
grandchildren Annabelle and Kensington Britt; Sam, Jazlene, and Jade 
Heller; and Benjamin and Aubrey Johnson.

She is also survived by her special Little Sister, Gracie Dibble of Phillipsburg.

Penni was preceded in death by her father, Gerald Duane 
(Sonny) Britt; her maternal grandparents, V.P. and Georgia DeWeese; and 
paternal grandparents, Elvin and Lona Britt.

Along with her love of family and nursing, faith was an ever 
present and important part of Penni’s life. She wanted everyone to know 
that even though any of us may face adversities in life, we must still 
give God the glory and thank him. Never, throughout her entire cancer 
journey or life, did Penni feel that God left her. She hoped that 
because of her faith, she may have planted seeds in people to seek 
Christ.

The family invites you to help us celebrate Penni’s life, 
laughter, sense of humor, smile, the love she gave family and friends, 
and her never-ending faith during a celebration of life at Emmanuel 
Church in Abilene at 7 p.m. Friday, January 14, with Pastor Jon Griffith 
officiating. &nbsp;A second service will be held at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, 
January 15, at Trinity Community Church in Hudson, Kansas with Pastor 
Wade Russell officiating. Burial will be in Fairview Park Cemetery, St. 
John. &nbsp;Minnis Chapel, St. John, is in charge of arrangements.

To celebrate Penni’s love of helping others and her life-long
 love of reading, she requested her memorials be given to Care Beyond 
the Boulevard or to Talmage Library.

former students continue to express their love and gratitude for all she
 taught them, including the friendly and caring manner with which she 
cared for them and her patients.As much as she loved nursing, she loved time spent with 
family even more. The vacations, campouts, birthday celebrations, family

present and important part of Penni’s life. She wanted everyone to know 
that even though any of us may face adversities in life, we must still 
give God the glory and thank him. Never, throughout her entire cancer 
journey or life, did Penni feel that God left her. She hoped that 
because of her faith, she may have planted seeds in people to seek 
Christ.The family invites you to help us celebrate Penni’s life,

Born on December 23, 1966, April lived a life of health concerns which she approached as a warrior, battling each one. She had a positive outlook and could light a room with her smile and laugh.

April is survived by nephew David Alton (Laura); nieces Krystle Dilley (Eric), and Kyla Alton (Chris Sparks), all of Manhattan, Kansas; and special “sister” friend, Joni (Webber) Lagerman (Mike) of Salina. She also enjoyed her grandnephews Shawn, Jaxzon, Caleb, and grandniece, Peyton.

She was preceded by her brother Kevin Alton; grandparents Chester and Helen Alton, and Donald and Louise Niemann; and uncle Louis Niemann.

The family would like to thank all those at El Dorado Care and Rehab for the love, care, and support they have given April for so many years.

April 12, 1968 ~ January 6, 2022 (age 53)

Jeffery William Oard passed away January 6, 2022. Jeff was born in Salina on April, 12th 1968 to Terry and Linda (Moody) Oard. 

He graduated from Central High School in 1987 and attended Kansas State University and Fort Hays. Jeff returned to the family business Oards Auto and Truck Repair as a master mechanic in 1991. After several years, he managed the business after his father’s retirement.

In 1992 Jeff married Michele (Clapsaddle) at the Gypsum Methodist Church. They had their only loving daughter Alicia in May of 1993.

 Jeff enjoyed many activities throughout his life with family and friends. He loved spending time fishing, camping, racing cars, riding ATVs, water and snow skiing, and riding his Harley with his wife. His prized moments were spent with his grandson Carson.

Jeff had a heart of gold and was willing to help anyone who needed it. He had a quick wit and an ornery side that gave us all a book of stories throughout his life. He was the greatest at everything a man should be great at. Jeff was a loving son, brother, husband, father, and grandfather.

Jeff is preceded in death by his late mother Linda (Moody) Oard, grandparents Marge (Cherry) and Rudy Oard, Edra (Roles) and Paul Moody, and Alex Faidley. &nbsp;

He leaves behind his wife of 29 years Michele (Clapsaddle) Oard; daughter Alicia (Chris) Cox and grandson Carson Cox; father Terry Oard, sisters Amy Jacobs and Libby (Rod) Harding; niece Amanda (Brennon) Koerperich; nephews Tyler and Jake Harding, Nathan and Zac Jacobs; father-in-law John (Chris) Clapsaddle and mother-in-law Penne Clapsaddle. He leaves many cousins whom he loved just as siblings. He also leaves beloved aunts, uncles, great-nieces and nephews, and many friends.

The family will receive friends through visitation on Friday from 4:00-7:00 p.m., January 14, 2022, and a service will be held Saturday, January 15, 10:30 a.m.-11:15 a.m. light lunch to follow at Ryan Mortuary in Salina, KS. A family-only burial will be located at Highland Cemetery in New Cambria after the lunch.

https://www.hallchapel.com/obituary/DrDuane-Cole

Dr. Duane Edward Cole, 88, passed on to be with his savior, January 9, 2022, at Lincoln Park Manor, Lincoln, KS. Duane was born to Blaine and Elsie (Hunter) Cole on May 18, 1933, in rural Beverly, KS. 

He was preceded in death by his wife Betty, parents, and five siblings.

Upon completion of high school, Duane enlisted in the U.S. Navy and was a mechanic stationed in Corpus Christi, TX. While he was stationed in Corpus Christi, he met his wife Betty June (Walker) Cole. They married, on January 15, 1955, and were blessed with three children. 

Duane completed his studies and received his DVM in 1962 from Kansas State University. 

Looking for a place to hang his shingle as a DVM, they moved to Kinsley, KS and Atchison, KS, but it was not quite right. Duane and Betty found the right place, in Lincoln, KS, just 10 minutes from his birthplace. He practiced veterinary medicine and farmed there until the early ‘80s when he returned to KSU for a Ph.D. After completing his Ph.D., he did research and taught necropsy and pathology at KSU. In the late ‘80s, Duane took a job with the USDA and was stationed in Hastings, NE and later Idabel, OK. He retired in 2014, and he and Betty lived in Idabel until her death on May 11, 2021.&nbsp; He then returned to Lincoln and moved into Lincoln Park Manor.

Duane is survived by children Elizabeth Ann (Cole) Chard and spouse Randall Chard, Terrance Duane Cole and spouse Robbin Waldner Cole, and Daniel Eugene Cole and spouse Abby (Henson) Cole; eight grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.

Visitation: 1-7 p.m., Thursday, January 13, 2022, at Hall Chapel, Lincoln, KS. Family will be present 5-7 p.m. to greet visitors.

Funeral service: 2:00 p.m., Saturday, January 22, 2022, at Hall Chapel, Lincoln with burial following in the Lincoln Cemetery.
