<a href="https://www.wilsonfamilyfuneralhome.com/obituary/virginia-wallace">Obituary | Virginia Wallace of Minneapolis, Kansas | Wilson Family Funeral Home</a>

Virginia Wallace, Minneapolis, went to be with her Lord and Savior on June 16, 2021.&nbsp; Virginia was born September 28, 1958, in Great Bend, Kansas.&nbsp; She was one of three daughters born to Louis and Della June Andersen.

She was married to Craig Wallace on October 2, 1976.&nbsp; Most of her life was spent chasing her four active children and chauffeuring them to sporting events, where she was an avid spectator and sports competitor herself.&nbsp; One of her greatest joys was to watch her children and grandchildren participate in baseball, football, track, etc.&nbsp; It was not uncommon to hear her voice and words of encouragement projected above the crowd as we knew she would have been right alongside us if she could.&nbsp; She passed that enthusiasm and competitive spirit to her daughter.&nbsp;

She happily welcomed visits from her youngest grandchildren and would spoil them with toys and games.&nbsp; Virginia would play alongside them, and many times, be their personal jungle gym.&nbsp; Even though she was continually on the go, she found peace and pleasure caring for a myriad of roses.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Virginia has led a life of service whether it be within her own household or welcoming her children’s friends regularly and always with a smile and a meal.&nbsp; It was not uncommon for others to drop by the house and grab a bite to eat.&nbsp; Virginia always made sure there was something prepared.&nbsp; She earned her certification to be a dietitian, worked long, hard hours and many days a week in order to care for the residents under her care.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Although she may not have known it, Virginia was an example to many.&nbsp; Until the end, she fought courageously, loved endlessly, and led a life serving the Lord.&nbsp; "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous.&nbsp; Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." - Joshua 1:9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Survivors are her husband Craig Wallace; children Trisha (Robert) Johnson, Deyrle (Christine) Wallace, Daylan (Kris) Wallace, and Daren (Heather) Wallace; sisters Blythe (Evan) Atwell, Jo (Ed) Stahlman; eight grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; and numerous other relatives and friends.&nbsp;

&nbsp;She was preceded in death by her parents Louis and Della June Andersen.&nbsp;

Her body was cremated and a Celebration of Life will be at 10:00 a.m. Friday, July 16, 2021 at the First Baptist Church, Minneapolis.&nbsp; Inurnment will follow at the Barnard Cemetery in Barnard, Kansas.&nbsp;

Harold Dow “Buck” Carter was born in Wichita, KS and raised in McPherson, KS, graduating from McPherson High in 1966. He went directly into the Navy where he served in Vietnam. Very little of his war experiences were shared because it was something he didn’t want to remember and put it in others' minds. He was plagued by agent-orange and had multiple health problems for many years. He worked for Johns Manville 20+ years, retiring with disability. He lived in Hillsboro, KS for many years after retirement. Buck loved rock music, a very important part of his life. Queen, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Yes, Kansas, and many more kept him company over the years. He also loved old sitcoms, knowing every episode, game shows, and most sporting events. Buck was an avid golfer, fisherman, gun enthusiast, loved the KC Chiefs, the Celtics, and the McPherson Bullpups, never missing a game until he could no longer attend due to health. He loved following the lives of his grandsons and nephews and nieces, always proud of their talents. Buck leaves behind his son Andrew Dow and wife, Dina, with their three sons Zachery, Ethan, and Andrew of Lakewood, CA; brother Tony Riley of Salina, KS; two sisters, Linda Kissick (Carl) of Marquette, KS and Dianna “Dee” Carter of Independence, KS; step-brother, Curtis Balzer of McPherson, KS; many nieces and nephews; and his loving cat companion of 10 years, Queen. He was preceded in death by his father Harold Dow Carter, Sr., and mother Elmira Balzer. He passed on Dec. 17, 2020, at the age of 72, in Wichita Wesley Woodlawn Hospital. A graveside service with military honors will be held at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, June 19, 2021, at the French Creek Cemetery, Hillsboro, KS. Memorial donations may be given to the Wounded Warrior Project in care of Stockham Family Funeral Home, 205 North Chestnut, McPherson, KS 67460.

<a href="https://www.chaputbuoy.com/obituary/william-bill-dotson">Obituary | William "Bill" Dotson of Santa Monica, California | Chaput-Buoy Funeral Home (chaputbuoy.com)</a>

William "Bill" Dotson, age 80, died Wed., June 16, 2021 at Midwest Covenant Home, Stromsburg, NE. 

William (Bill) Robert Dotson was born December 29, 1940, on a farm in Jamestown, KS to Delmer and Ruby (Champlin) Dotson, the fifth of nine children. He graduated from Concordia High School in 1958. During his senior year Bill won the Class A State Championship in the mile, shattering a Kansas high school record that had stood for almost three decades.

Bill attended and graduated from Kansas University in 1962 with a physical education degree. He was a star member of the KU track team. His many accomplishments include a Big 8 Conference Championship in the outdoor mile in 1960 and 1961 and a 800 meter Big 8 Conference Championship in 1962. Bill’s second place finish in the 1961 mile National Championships and 3rd place finish in the 1962 mile National Championships both earned him All-American honors. In 1962, Bill broke the 4:00 minute mile mark, making him the first Kansan and Big 8 miler to do so, 4th person to run a sub 4:00 minute mile collegiately, as well as the 7th miler in the U.S. to break the 4:00 minute mile. Additionally, Bill claimed a Big 8 Conference Championship in cross country in 1961. That same year, he helped lead KU to a first place cross country finish in the Big 8 Conference and 4th place finish at the NCAA championships. Throughout his career, Dotson set three American records in the mile, while he was also the fourth man in the world to run a mile in under four minutes on an indoor track at the 1963 Chicago Daily News Invitational. Bill was also a member of the 1963 Pan-Am team in the 800 meter category competing in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Bill was inducted into the Kansas Athletics Hall of Fame in 2008 and the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame in 2016.

After college he joined the Marine Corps active reserves for six years. He had a successful career in business and finance. He had a love for astrology. He lived in Santa Monica, CA, for over 40 years, having recently moved to Nebraska for health reasons.

Bill met his maker on June 16, 2021, after a battle with cancer. He is preceded in death by his parents, a brother, Gerald Dotson, sister Jacqueline (Jackie) Parsons, brothers-in-law Tom Cady, Gary Parsons, Royal Heemeier and sister-in-law Joann Dotson. He is survived by a brother Donald (MaryEllen), Wichita KS, and sisters Sharon Heemeier, Tucson, AZ, Beverly Cady, Northfield, MN, Prudy (Sam) Rugg, Waco, NE, Charyl (Dan) Olander, Rogers, AR, Marsha (Carl) Knarr, Jewell, KS, many nieces, nephews and life-long friends from his college days.

Funeral services will be held Monday, June 21 at 2:00 p.m. at the Chaput-Buoy Funeral Home, 325 W. 6th Street, Concordia, KS with Pastor Randy Whitley officiating.

James Michel  "Mike" Schreiber, 78, of Salina, Kansas, went home to be with the Lord on June 13, 2021.

Mike was born on October 8, 1942 to Lester and Helen (Clark) Schreiber in Sterling, Kansas. He attended and graduated from Medicine Lodge High School.

Mike was united in marriage to his first wife, Kathleen Rourk, in 1967. To this union, they raised their son, John Michel Schreiber and although their union was not permanent, they continued to stay in each other's lives and remained close. Mike later married Charlotte Seltmann in 1994 and divorced in 2001, also remaining closed friends for the years to come. 

Mike was talented, very social and had a big heart. His talents were many but started off with building and fixing nearly anything. He owned and operated a lumber yard in Burdett, Kansas. After serving that community for many years he moved to Hesston, Kansas, where he started his own construction business focusing on remodels and new construction, mostly in the Harvey County area. He named the business Cornerstone Construction as he wanted a name that indicated a spiritual connection that he had in his own life. He later studied to become a heavy equipment operator and was very proud of being an award-winning crane operator for the multiple Kansas area refineries.

Upon retiring, Mike moved to Salina, Kansas, to be near his son and family. He loved spending time with the family even if it meant just riding through his favorite park with his grandson discussing the Bible and on the continued hunt for the infamous albino squirrel they often sighted. He had a love for the Lord and felt led several times to participate in various mission trips around the world. If you spent anytime talking with him, no doubt you had heard some of those stories. He took up the hobby of gold mining in his spare time. You would see him sitting out in front of his apartment, sifting through the sandy treasures he would bring back from his gold claim in the Colorado Mountains. Those mountains stole his heart and were a special place that truly made him happy.

Mike is survived by his son John and wife Noel, along with 5 Grandchildren, Kristionah Lippard, Breonah Lippard, Camdyn Schreiber, Colin Schreiber, and Jaren Schreiber, 2 Great Grandchildren, Evelynn Woodring and Elias Woodring, all of Salina, Kansas; Sister Rebecca Tedrow and husband Stan of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and Nephews Jim Tedrow, Matt Tedrow, and their families of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Mike was preceded in death by his Father, Lester Schreiber, and Mother, Helen Hess.

Following cremation, there will be a Celebration of Life held at Sunset Park, 544 Sunset Drive in Salina, Kansas, at 6:00 p.m. Friday, June 18th.
