Eileen Heier Yeager, 73, of Park, Kan., passed away peacefully on October 2, 2021, at Covenant Village in Gastonia, N.C.&nbsp;Born on July 26, 1948, in Quinter, Kansas, Eileen was&nbsp;the youngest child of the late Anthony “Tony” and Marcella “Sally” (Shmidtberger) Heier.

From a young age, Eileen was determined, outspoken and&nbsp;fiercely independent.&nbsp;As a teenager she was a star volleyball player&nbsp;and had her heart set on&nbsp;attending Marian All Girls Catholic&nbsp;School in Hays, Kansas.&nbsp;Her father relented and allowed her to enroll after she kept a bargain with him&nbsp;to earn&nbsp;a certain level of spending money.&nbsp;Eileen was successful and loved her time at Marian, where she built lifelong friendships. Following Marian, she attended Fort Hays State University where she majored in Communication.

Although Eileen was always a proud native of Kansas, she spent most of her adulthood living elsewhere. At age 23, she moved away from her hometown to Salina where she began a family. Later she lived in&nbsp;Michigan, Wisconsin and Ohio.&nbsp;Eileen worked for the United States Postal Service in West Chester, Ohio,&nbsp;for more than 20 years before returning to&nbsp;Park to care for her mother&nbsp;Sally in 2010.&nbsp;Eileen&nbsp;had “naturally” blonde hair and cornflower blue eyes, was charming, warm hearted, sarcastic and goofy. It was no surprise that Eileen attracted supportive and loving friends everywhere she lived.

She dreamed of being a country-western singer, though she couldn’t sing. That didn’t stop her love of music. She often listened to oldies on her jukeboxes&nbsp;with a margarita in hand.&nbsp;Eileen loved the 1950s and all that came with it – especially old cars, flamingos and the color&nbsp;turquoise. She enjoyed hosting parties with her “flock” and lived out Jimmy Buffett’s&nbsp;song, “It’s 5&nbsp;O’Clock&nbsp;Somewhere.”&nbsp;In her later years, she&nbsp;spent a great deal of her time&nbsp;gardening and traveling to beautiful places like Lake Havasu Arizona and the beaches of the Carolinas. She prioritized time with her grandchildren&nbsp;and&nbsp;was the world’s greatest&nbsp;grammama to Lauren and Zane.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Eileen is survived by&nbsp;Sheldon Yeager of Freeland, Mich., and&nbsp;daughter, Julie Yeager Andrews, (Brian) of Gastonia, N.C.,&nbsp;her cherished&nbsp;grandchildren Lauren Marie Andrews of Atlanta, Ga.,&nbsp;and Zane William Andrews of Clemson, S.C. Eileen was also preceded in death by&nbsp;her beloved son,&nbsp;Shannon&nbsp;Troy Yeager (2019) and siblings; Ronald (2010), Marlene (2008), Gilbert (1965) and Virginia (1943).

The family extends their sincere thanks to the team at Covenant Village for their exceptional care and caregivers&nbsp;Cindy Jo&nbsp;Sane, Darlene Tulbert, Terry Moore, Shannon Muse and Audrey Swayney.

In lieu of&nbsp;flowers, the family asks for memorial contributions. In Kansas:&nbsp;Sacred Heart Catholic Church and Cemetery; American Legion Auxiliary Grainfield;&nbsp;or Developmental Services of NW Kansas.&nbsp;In&nbsp;North Carolina: Queen of the Apostles Catholic Church;&nbsp;Catherine’s House;&nbsp;or Life Enrichment Center Kings Mountain.

A prayer service will be held at&nbsp;4 p.m. on Sunday, October 10, at&nbsp;Queen of the Apostles Catholic Church in Belmont, N.C.

Mass of Christian burial will be at 10:30 a.m.&nbsp;on Saturday, October&nbsp;16, 2021, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Park, Kansas.&nbsp;Interment will follow in the church cemetery.&nbsp;

Joyce Jean Langhofer passed into the loving arms of her savior on September 30, 2021 in Hillsboro, Kansas. 

She was born on the Bill and Minnie Kaufman farm in Russell County, Kansas in 1938. 

She had resided at Salem Home in Hillsboro, Kansas for the last three months and previously had lived in Topeka, Dorrance and Wilson, Kansas with her husband Dean for 63 years of married life. He was committed to being at her bedside and they enjoyed God’s word and devotions together daily until the end.

Joyce loved music and singing “Heavenly Sunshine” and many other gospel hymns with her daughter Kerry, that brought joy to our hearts and smiles to our faces even in these last days. She was an avid follower of Jesus and His Word and her soul is now in heaven awaiting a new resurrected body because He lives. Her faith was strong to the very end. She often quoted Romans 10:9 as assurance of her personal salvation in Christ.

Joyce is survived by her husband Dean; son Stan and wife Theresa of Topeka and Dallas, TX; daughter Kerry Shewey and husband Andy of Hillsboro; four cherished grandchildren, Jessica Wilson and husband Matt of Mesquite, TX, Samuel Langhofer of Topeka, KS, Clay Shewey and wife Mallory of Hillsboro, KS, and Grant Shewey and wife Lauren of Hillsboro, KS; 10 great-grandchildren; brother Merle Kaufman and wife Linda of Dodge City, KS; sister-in-law Opal Kaufman of Knoxville, TN and many precious nieces, nephews, cousins and other relatives that meant the world to her. 

She played a special role in the entire family as we gathered in their home and around her table regularly. Joyce made friends quickly wherever she went and her smile shined bright. She’s doing the same right now in her new heavenly home.

We have honored her wish of cremation and she will be laid to rest in the Dorrance City Cemetery with a small private family graveside celebration of life at a later date.

Online condolences at www.jostfuneralhome.com. Memorials&nbsp;in her honor may be made to the Wilson Senior Center or the charity of your choosing by sending them to&nbsp;Jost Funeral Home, P.O. Box 266, Hillsboro, KS 67063.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Steven-Dreiling">Obituary for Steven M. Dreiling | Ryan Mortuary</a>

November 24, 1952 ~ April 7, 2020 (age 67)

HAMMONDSPORT, NY -&nbsp;Steven M. Dreiling, 67, passed from this life on April 7, 2020, due to complications from the COVID-19 virus. Steve was born on November 24, 1952, in Salina, Kansas to Gerard and Coletta Dreiling.

He was predeceased by his parents and brother Kenneth Dreiling.

Steve is survived by his devoted wife Laura M. Opelt; daughter Dr. Bethany and Dr. Ryan Buryta, grandson Jay Buryta (8) and granddaughter Lia Buryta (5), Tyler Allen Buryta (4 mos.), step-daughter Heather and Greg Mastro, granddaughter Lidia Mastro (5) and grandson, Thomas Mastro (3); stepdaughter Jamie Shaw, stepdaughter Amanda and Adam Musfelt, granddaughters Anna, Aubry, and April Musfelt, sons Chris and Casey Dreiling, and grandson Cody Dreiling. Steve is also survived by his brother Gerald and Linda Dreiling and sister Marlyn Compton along with several nieces and nephews.

Steve was a proud U.S. Navy Veteran, serving from 1970 - 1976 on the U.S.S. Independence. He worked for (Westinghouse) Philips Lighting and transferred to the Bath Plant in 1988 where he served as the human resources manager for 17 years. In 2005, Steve transitioned to a new position with Philips, overseeing human resources for the distribution plants located within the US. Unfortunately, in 2006 Steve suffered a significant stroke and subsequently was unable to continue his career. Over the next 15 years Steve faced many health-related challenges and obstacles and somehow persevered and never lost his sense of humor.

Steve took pleasure in cars and building models. He enjoyed sports, whether it was watching his daughters play in high school or rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs and Michigan State Spartans. He loved and enjoyed his pets and grandchildren most of all.

A memorial mass will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, October 9, 2021, at Sacred Heart Cathedral.&nbsp; Military honors will follow in Mt. Calvary Cemetery, Salina.

It was Steve's wishes that donations in his memory be made to Catholic Charities of Steuben or your local Catholic Charities.
