Adolph F. Schultz, Jr., known to everyone as Jr., passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by his loving family on Monday, September 6, 2021, at the age of 88 years, 2 months, and 21 days. How appropriate for a hard-working man to have his labors completed on Labor Day.

Jr. was born a twin, on June 16, 1933, to Adolph Schultz, Sr. “Dave” and Augusta (Bohl) Schultz. He was a lifetime resident of Ellsworth County, living the last 58 years in Clear Creek Township where he and his wife raised their family. 

He was a hard-working man from an early age. He entered the United States Air Force in 1953 serving until 1957 as a pneumatic repairman on airplanes. After his service discharge, he worked for various farmers assisting them wherever needed. He also worked with a construction crew that built the Kanopolis Coop grain elevator. After construction of the elevator, he became an employee until 1973, when he began his employment at Independent Salt Mine. After 25 years of working various jobs at the salt mine, he retired in June of 1998.

Jr. met his future wife Jolene Prochaska at his niece’s wedding in February of 1962. On June 9, 1962, Jr. and Jolene were married. 

He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Jolene; sons Barry and wife Lisa of Kanopolis, Gary “Moose” of Powderly, TX, and Jamie and wife Jenna of Ellsworth; daughter Angel Adams and friend John Hegg of Burlington, KS; grandchildren Cody, Joseph, Daniel, Trenton, Heather, and Cameron Schultz, Drew Kratzer, Cyleigh (Calvin) Unruh, and Angelica Sneath; and great-grandchildren Rhys, Boone, Kingston, Hanna, Samuel, Emilee, and Mikey. 

He was preceded in death by his father Dave; mother Augusta; stepmother Frieda; and siblings twin Albert, Irvin, Ador, Vera, Henry, Ferdinand, Elden, Floyd, Helen Soukup, Rosaline Lyne, LaVerna Mikulecky, and Velma Hubbard.

Jr. was a member of the American Legion from 1957 to present where he served in almost every office including many years as the sergeant of arms, the dance chairman, and bouncer. He was a volunteer fireman for 25-plus years and served on the Ellsworth Federal Credit Union board for many years. He also served on many boards at the Immanuel Lutheran Church where he was a member. 

He was always ready to help friends and neighbors, no matter the time of day or the day. Jr. did not know a stranger – he could strike up a conversation with anyone and &nbsp;had an infectious personality. He loved fishing, camping, hunting, traveling, cards, and most of all, the special times with his family. He was an awesome husband, father, grandfather, friend, neighbor, and family member.

Visitation: 1-8 p.m., Friday, September 10, 2021, with family present 6-8 p.m., at Parsons Funeral Home in Ellsworth.

Funeral service: 11:00 a.m., Saturday, September 11, 2021, at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Ellsworth with burial following in Kanopolis Cemetery.

Memorial contributions may be made to Immanuel Lutheran Church, Ellsworth American Legion Post 174, or Kindred Hospice, c/o Parsons Funeral Home, P.O. Box 45, Ellsworth, KS 67439.

August 21, 1942 ~ September 5, 2021 (age 79)

Loretta E. Rider, 79, of Salina passed away on Sunday, September 5 at Salina Regional Hospital. Loretta was born on August 21, 1942, at the family farm near Westfall, KS to Lorenz and Anna (Wacker) Meier. She attended a one-room elementary school at St. Paul’s Lutheran Parochial school and graduated from Lincoln (KS) High School in 1960.

She was united in marriage to Norman D. Rider on December 25, 1959, at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Lincoln. They were blessed with three daughters, Jodi, Vickie, and Janell. They later moved to Salina where Loretta lived until her death. She was a successful "Avon Lady,” going door to door with her trusty Avon bag and was a member of Avon’s President’s Club for years. She later worked at Young World and then Dillons, both in Sunset Plaza, where she retired after nearly 25 years. She met many wonderful people through her retail career who became lifelong friends, that she still regularly kept in contact with.

She had just become a Stephan Minister. She volunteered for several years at Rolling Hills Zoo and loved making the diet for her “chimps”. She was the glue that kept our family together especially during the years while Norman was an over-the-road truck driver. Her faith in God and family were the absolute, most important things in her life. Her children, grandkids and bonus kids and grandkids were her most treasured gifts.

<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Rodney-Anderson">Obituary for Rodney Lee Anderson | Ryan Mortuary</a>

November 26, 1932 ~ September 4, 2021 (age 88)

Our Dad, Rodney Lee Anderson, was the son of David and Myrtle (Mattson) Anderson. He was born on November 26, 1932 in Hutchinson, Kansas. Rod and his sister, Sonja (Anderson) McIntyre,were raised on a farm south of Windom, KS. They labored as a family team to work their land in good years and bad, to include throughout the Great Depression. Rod attended Alpha Country Grade School and graduated from Windom High School in 1950. He was baptized and confirmed in his faith as member of Andover Lutheran Church. His faith and his church communities were central to his life.

Rod attended Bethany College, where, during a chapel service his freshman year he met a pretty farm girl from Lindsborg named CeCelia Esping. During their sophomore year they began a love story that would last a lifetime. After proposing to CeCelia, Rod volunteered for the Korean War draft and served as a photo imagery analyst in the U.S. Army’s 417th Engineer Aviation Brigade. He joined the 417th EAB in Korea and soon thereafter was transferred to Japan where Rod served out the remainder of his hitch. Rod made lifelong friends in the Army, and he and his “Army buddies” would reunite every two years at various locations around the country. He was a patriot!

After returning stateside, he married CeCelia Esping on July 17, 1955 at Bethany Lutheran Church in Lindsborg, Kansas. He and CeCelia had three sons: Darcy, Darren and David. Their marriage was a model of Christian love and devotion to each other and to their wedding vows. They celebrated their 66th wedding anniversary in July, 2021.

After their wedding, Rod used the G.I. Bill to attend Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas. He graduated with a degree in electrical engineering in 1958 and went on to become a professional engineer, licensed to practice in Kansas and two other states. Early in his career he worked at the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) in Washington, D.C. Later he moved to Littleton, CO to work for Martin Company where he designed electrical connections for the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) program. His job at Martin Company took him and his family to Cape Canaveral, FL two times for six months each. In 1965 they moved to Ft. Smith, Montana, located by Yellowtail Hydroelectric Dam, where Rod was a project engineer for the Bureau of Reclamation.

In 1967 Rod and his family moved to Salina, KS to be close to family. Here he did the electrical design for various facilities such as schools (too numerous to count), athletic facilities, banks, hospitals, jails, and manufacturing facilities. The Smoky Valley Chapter of the Kansas Society of Professional Engineers honored Rod’s service twice – with the Engineer of the Year Award in 1999 and with the Kansas Society of Professional Engineers Award in 2016.

In 1984 Dad began a new phase of his career, serving as an associate professor at Kansas State University–Salina where he taught various electrical courses for 14 years. Upon his retirement in 1998 he was eminently proud to be honored with the title of “Professor Emeritus” from his alma mater.

Rod made a mark on the lives of many Salina youth over his 20 years of leadership in the Boy Scouts of America. As scoutmaster, he led Troop 22 of Redeemer Lutheran Church to be one of the most active troops in the area. Campouts were held every month, come rain, shine or snow. Twice he led Scout groups on wilderness canoe trips from the Northern Tier High Adventure Base in Ely, MN. He loved to teach boys about the outdoors, watch them advance in scouting and develop into young men. In 1976 Rod received the Lamb Award, a national recognition bestowed on Lutheran adults by the National Lutheran Association on Scouting.

During his retirement he and CeCelia enjoyed traveling and exploring every state in the U.S. (except Alaska) and visiting friends and family. He loved tending his yard, and watching things grow. He enjoyed watching his beloved KSU Wildcats compete, especially in football and basketball. Rod served on the Redeemer Lutheran Church Council for two terms.

Most of all, Dad loved his family. His greatest joy in life was spending time with any of his boys and their families, grilling a good steak or hamburger, reminiscing about the past or discussing plans for the future. He loved hearing about Darren and Sandra’s various projects or riding in their RV; visiting Dave, Kara and their family wherever the Army moved them; and many trips to Darcy and Kay’s home in Texas for the holidays. Rod fought so hard and so long to live, just because life was too darned much fun to do otherwise!

Being “Grandad” was the biggest honor of his life. He loved spending time with Corbin and Hayden, and Katy, Kurt and Kelsey wherever and whenever he could. He had a special relationship with each one of them and he loved watching his grandkids compete in their sports. He loved reading to them and being their “Santa Claus” at Christmas. He loved talking with them on the phone. He even figured out how to text with them in his later years.

On one cold winter’s day in Baltimore in 1997, Rod encouraged his sons to help push a stranger’s car that was stuck by saying, “Come on boys. Let’s give them a push. You’ll feel good about yourself all week.” That summed up Rod’s approach to living his faith and his serving his fellow man – simply, meaningfully, and without any need for recognition.

Dad loved to say, “who has more fun than people?” To honor his life and his memory, Rod would want you to go out and do something you enjoy. Do it....and he will be smiling down on you!

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Redeemer Lutheran Church in Salina, KS at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 9. Due to COVID-19, the family respectfully requests attendees to wear a face mask. The service will also be live-streamed on the Redeemer Lutheran Church’s Facebook page.

In lieu of flowers, our family suggests donations to Redeemer Lutheran Church, 743 E. Magnolia Rd., Salina, KS 67401 or Northern Tier High Adventure Programs, P.O. Box 509, 14790 Moose Lake Road, ELY, MN 55731.

<a href="https://yazelmeglifh.com/obituaries/eleanor-wiebe-1">Eleanor Wiebe Obituary 2021 - Yazel - Megli Funeral Homes (yazelmeglifh.com)</a>

Eleanor was born on December 20, 1938, along with twin brother, Edwin, in Newton, Kansas. The twins, born approximately two months early, were a surprise to their parents, Albert H. and Bertha R. (Regier) Busenitz, who were expecting only one beautiful baby. Eleanor grew up in a godly home and trusted Christ as her savior at an early age. Her decision to follow Christ became the center of how she viewed and practiced life.

Eleanor attended the rural one-room District 85 grammar school and went on to graduate from Berean Academy High School in 1957. During her high school years, she began dating Delmer Wiebe, but due to his upcoming commitment to spend two years in Paraguay for voluntary service, she attended Grace University in Omaha, Nebraska. 

Upon Delmer‘s return from Paraguay, Eleanor and Delmer married on November 27, 1959 and settled in the local area. Together, they were blessed with four children and eventually, the family expanded to nine grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren at the time of her death. Eleanor was a promoter of hard work and discipline, never shying away from the responsibilities and obligations that come with being the oldest of eight children growing up on a farm. She often shared and repeated slogans which she learned during her childhood years. These “mom-isms” were short and simple but important messages which helped shape her children during their years at home. A less than energetic look during a chore or task was met with the phrase “Work is a blessing,” or a spilled glass of milk would initiate “Haste makes waste.” Eleanor loved to challenge others with riddles, and enjoyed writing poems that she delivered to each of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren on their birthdays. She also had a real heart for elderly people. On Halloween, we children went trick or treating to the homes of elderly people in the community, and she required us to sing a hymn for them before they gave us a treat.

Baking was something Eleanor really enjoyed too. She loved baking yeast breads and often shared her delicious baked goods with her family and friends, which became her way of encouraging others. She enjoyed looking through cookbooks to find new recipes that sounded fun to make.

She enjoyed looking through cookbooks to find new recipes that sounded fun to make. Eleanor also loved the radio, listening to hymns and Christian programming while she worked. The radio was on from morning to night, allowing her to keep up with the news and to be encouraged by Christian radio speakers and good music. Many times she took notes of things she wanted to remember. Eleanor developed a mental toughness dealing with a variety of health issues that included lifetime effects of seizures from scarlet fever at age seven, type I diabetes at age 26, breast cancer, triple bypass surgery, near blindness, as well as the recent effects of dementia, but she never lost her faith or joy in living life. Eleanor passed away on Friday, September 3, 2021, at Schowalter Villa in Hesston. She is preceded in death by her parents, infant sister Eldena Busenitz and grandson Kameron Wiebe.Eleanor’s greatest joy was her family, who will carry with them her example of living life with contentment and strong character.
