Hillsboro - Marvin Koehn, 92, died June 17, 2021 at his residence in Hillsboro. He was born May 18, 1929 to Mano and Eva (Jantz) Koehn in Isabella, Oklahoma. He married Erma Smith March 8, 1953 in DeRidder, Louisiana. He was a carpenter.

Our father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, Marvin Koehn was born to Mano and Eva Jantz Koehn on May 18, 1929 at Isabella, Oklahoma. He peacefully passed away at his home in Hillsboro, Kansas at 92 years of age. 

His early childhood was spent at Isabella, Oklahoma and Morton, Texas, moving with his parents to Burns, Kansas in 1940.

At the age of 12 years he felt the call of the Lord and was baptized into the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite at Burns, Kansas by Min. Jake Yost. The faith was precious to Dad and he remained faithful to the end.

Dad was married to Erma Smith on March 8, 1953 at DeRidder, Louisiana by Min. A.T. Koehn. They made their home at Burns, Kansas where three sons and one daughter were born to them. 

Dad loved his family and worked hard to provide for them with farming and carpentry. He was a song leader for many years and served the church in other capacities.

In 1975 they moved to Leland, Mississippi where he continued his work as a carpenter.

In 2001 they moved to Monterey, Tennessee where they enjoyed their retirement. As health began to fail they moved to Hillsboro, Kansas in 2014 to be near their daughter.

On June 18, 2017 mom went to be with the Lord, leaving Dad very lonely. As the end drew near we felt an especially soft spirit in him, leaving a good testimony of being ready to meet the Lord.

Left to cherish fond memories are three sons: Karl and Gloria and Kennard and Patricia of Indianola, Mississippi and Keith and Ann of Mountain Grove, Missouri;&nbsp; daughter Susan Kahn of Hillsboro, Kansas and son-in-law, Steve Kahn of Ruleville, Mississippi; ten grandchildren and twelve great grandchildren; two brothers, Walter and Erma Koehn of California and Vernon Koehn of Burns, Kansas as well as nieces and nephews.

<a href="https://www.tibbettsfischerfuneralhome.com/obituary/DrLannie-HanelDVM">Obituary for Dr. Lannie L. Hanel, DVM | Tibbetts-Fischer Funeral Home (tibbettsfischerfuneralhome.com)</a>

Lannie Lee Hanel was born on May 17, 1947, at Patterson Memorial Hospital in Belleville, Kansas, the son of William Arnold and Olive Grace (Houdek) Hanel. Lannie grew up on the family farm, and always had a love of horses and cattle. He attended Agenda schools and loved playing 6-man football for the Agenda Huskies, graduating in 1965. Following high school, Lannie attended Kansas State University, graduating in 1971 with his doctorate in veterinary medicine.

In 1970 he married Kathy Craig and to this union two daughters were born, Kasey and Kelly. 

Dr. Hanel started his veterinary career in Courtland in 1971. He opened his own practice at its current location just north of Courtland in 1977. In 1985 Lannie remarried Sue Macy and to this union a son, Brock, was born. In 2007, Lannie remarried Tyra Frye.

In his young adult years, Lannie enjoyed competing in the rodeo arena, team roping and steer wrestling. He loved spending time outdoors. When he wasn’t working you would find him relaxing at the cabin on the lake or playing a round of golf. Lannie was an avid hunter and fisherman. Not only did he hunt and fish locally, he was blessed to travel the United States, and even to Canada to partake in the pastimes he loved. He passed his love of the great outdoors on to his kids and grandkids, taking every opportunity he could, to spend time enjoying it with them. His family was a source of pride for Lannie. If there was a game or competition his kids or grandkids were competing in, you could find him on the sidelines cheering them on. He worked hard throughout his life to leave a legacy that would live on in them.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.mcdonaldrobertsfuneralservice.com/obituary/joyce-casey">Obituary | Joyce Casey of Glen Elder, Kansas | Roberts Family Funeral Service (mcdonaldrobertsfuneralservice.com)</a>

Joyce Nadine Casey, passed into the arms of her savior on Thursday, June 24, 2021 in Wichita after a long battle with Parkinson's Disease. She was born Feb. 1, 1933 to Ed and Mae Neifert. She married Carrol Casey on Dec. 25, 1950. He proceeded her in death after 70 years of marriage. Joyce was born, raised, married, and lived all but three years of her life in the farmhouse her father built. She was a wonderful cook, accomplished seamstress, steady cowhand, ever-ready truck driver, etc. &nbsp;She enjoyed square dancing, walks in nature, Bible study, journaling, family games, and being with her beloved husband Cabe and her children Terry Wiechman (Topeka) Barry Casey (Hannibal, MO), Diana Keezer (Downs), Tedd Casey (Wichita) and Todd Casey (Hutchison). She dearly loved her three daughters-in-law, two sons-in-law, 17 grandchildren, and 22 great-grandchildren. Many lifelong memories were forged on the farm with extended family and friends. Joyce worked many jobs during her life including wall papering, running a dry cleaner, and working for the Cunningham Telephone Company for several years, a job she loved. She was an active member of the Glen Elder Christian Church where she took part in Ladies Aide, teaching Sunday School, and a weekly prayer group. Prayer was a calling and passion for her. She prayed for family and friends continuously and enjoyed encouraging others through conversation, written notes, and acts of service. Her faith in Christ defined her and in her final days she considered it (like the apostle Paul) “far better” to go and be with Christ than to continue here in her broken body. Her family will miss her greatly but also rejoice in her new life and the reunion she is enjoying with Cabe, her grandson Mike, and other friends and family. Thank you, Mom, for everything. We love you and we always will.

Funeral services will be at 11 a.m. Wednesday, June 30 at the Glen Elder First Christian Church. Visitation will be from 2-7 p.m. with family present from 6-7 p.m. Tuesday at the Roberts Family Funeral Home. The casket will remain closed. 

Memorials may be given to the Glen Elder First Christian Church
