<a href="https://www.tibbettsfischerfuneralhome.com/obituary/Beverly-Hyde">Obituary for Beverly J. Hyde | Tibbetts-Fischer Funeral Home</a>

November 8, 1925 ~ March 28, 2021 (age 95)

Beverly June Hyde, was born in Courtland, Kansas at “Grandma’s House” the second-born of twin girls on November 8, 1925 to J. Oran and Marguerite (Fritzinger) Hyde.

Beverly and her twin sister Shirley Jean grew up in Courtland learning the importance of education. Their father taught them to play cribbage and they were able to count and add before they went to school. After graduating from Courtland High School with the Class of 1943, Beverly and Shirley enrolled at Kansas University in September 1943.

It was war time, and the campus looked more like a naval station than a college campus. The Navy took over the ballroom for a mess hall and they looked for “motherly” type gals to serve breakfast, lunch and supper. Shirley and Beverly and six other co-eds served the supper meal every evening. The administration said it was the girls' “patriotic” duty. It took five years to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing.&nbsp;

They spent two and half years in Lawrence and two and half years at the Medical Center in Kansas City. There was no problem finding employment, and they worked at KU Medical Center for five years and then took a year to travel. Beverly and Shirley moved to Denver and the Rocky Mountains where they worked as Registered Nurses until retirement.

Traveling with her parents instilled a lifelong passion to travel as much of God’s beautiful world as one could accomplish. The many travels and cruises opened many horizons all over the world. In 1993 the twins returned to Courtland to enjoy a slower pace of life. Some of the twins' hobbies included a collection of antique cut glass dishes, not for use, but to gleam through the cabinet glass windows, learning bead making and jewelry repair.

Beverly and Shirley had their precious Chinese Chow Chow dogs and St. Peter at the Gates better have an arrangement with “doggie heaven,” so they can take them out for walks. She was an avid follower of the KU Jayhawks and their many pursuits. Music and cooking were also highlights of her life.

Beverly passed away on March 28, 2021, in Belleville, at the age of 95 years, 4 months and 20 days. She is preceded in death by her parents and her twin sister Shirley. She will be forever remembered by her many cousins and friends.

Funeral services will be Wednesday, March 31, 2021, at 10:30 a.m., at the Courtland Covenant Church, with Pastor Seth McGregor officiating, burial will follow at Balch Cemetery, rural Formoso. Visitation will be held at the church, one hour prior to the funeral service. &nbsp;

Memorials may be made to the Beverly Hyde Memorial, to be designated at a later date.

January 12, 1931 - March 30, 2021 (age 90)

He also worked for the SS Kresge/Kmart store in Salina from 1960-1990. He loved spreading the Gospel of Christ, spending time with his family and church, and writing poetry.

He is preceded in death by his parents and his wife Frances. He is survived by his daughters, Laura Goodman (Roger) of New Bern, NC; Linda Moore (Mark) of Moore, OK; Lydia Weiss (Jerry) of Greer, SC; Lella Richards (Dale) of Escalante, UT; and Martha Fleck (Brad) of Stockton, KS; grandchildren Joshua A.

<a href="https://www.tibbettsfischerfuneralhome.com/obituary/Jimmy-Joe-Shepek">Obituary for Jimmy Joe Shepek | Tibbetts-Fischer Funeral Home</a>

November 20, 1937 ~ March 27, 2021 (age 83)

Jimmy Joe Shepek was born on November 20, 1937, near Narka, Kanas, to Joe &amp; Leota Maxine (Mitchell) Shepek. Jimmy attended Midway Country School, and graduated from Narka High School. Following high school, Jim joined the United States Marines, and was honorably discharged in May 1960 with the rank of Lance Corporal.

Jim was united in marriage to Joyce Ann Sorell on December 26, 1964, in Belleville, and to that union of 55 years, two sons were born, Jimmy John Shepek and Jory Joe Shepek.

In his younger years, Jim worked at Ramsbottom Farms near Narka, Consolidated Sand and Gravel, Canning Trucking and Roodes Feed Lot. He worked at Roodes until a farming accident forced him to slow down a bit.

Jim continued to farm and raise cattle, and spent many summers putting up wire-tied square bales with his International square baler. He also enjoyed his Allis Chalmers tractors.

Jim continued to cut, haul and split wood for his wood stove until this past summer, when he decided to hang up his ice tongs. He liked old cars, especially his early 1928 Model A Coupe with rumble seat, and he was also pretty fond of his 1967 Pontiac GTO. Jim and Joyce spent the 55 years they were married collecting coins, and never spending a penny. They also enjoyed going to the casino together, but very seldom did Jim want to spend over a nickel at a time!

Jim had a soft heart for animals. Not only does he leave behind his two dogs, but also his four cats that dearly miss him.

Jim passed away peacefully at his home with this family at his side, on March 27, 2021, at the age of 83 years, 4 months and 7 days.

He is preceded in death by his parents, wife Joyce in 2019, son Officer Jimmy Jon Shepek in 2014, and brother Donald Shepek.

He will be forever remembered by his son Jory and his wife Jody of Fairbury, granddaughters Bryanne, Allexia and Catie, brother Gary Shepek and his wife Lana of Lombard, Illinois, sister Carol Ann Shorney and her husband Fred of Blue Springs, Missouri, sister-in-law Phyllis Shepek, nephews, nieces, cousins, and a community of friends.

Graveside funeral services will be Friday, April 2, 2021, at 2:00 p.m. at the Belleville City Cemetery with Pastor Roger Walls officiating. Military Honors will be conducted by the U.S. Marine Corps Honor Guard.

Visitation will be Thursday, April 1, 2021, from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Tibbetts-Fischer Funeral Home in Belleville, where the family will greet friends from 5 p.m. – 7 p.m.

Memorials are requested to the Republic County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Unit or the Beatrice Community Hospital Hospice program, and may be sent in care of the funeral home.

November 24, 1951 ~ March 25, 2021 (age 69)

John Dean Reynolds was born on November 24, 1951 in Belleville, Kansas, to Vernon Lee &amp; Barbara Joan (Lawson) Reynolds. John was one of four children born to Vernon &amp; Barbara. John grew up near Cuba, and graduated from Hillcrest High School. He then attended Cloud County Community College before being drafted into the U.S. Navy, from which he was honorably discharged in 1970.

As a young man, John learned to work hard and to take on responsibility. He was in the tank service business, and was proud to say he was a 3rd generation with Pitt Des Moines, Inc.

Jack Lee Milner was born on June 15, 1939 in Belleville, to Archie I. &amp; Anona Wilma (Owens) Milner. He was one of 9 children born to this union. Jack grew up and attended school in Belleville. He joined the US Air Force on January 14, 1958, and was honorably discharged on July 31, 1963.

Jack was united in marriage to Ilene Mae Sis on February 7, 1978, and with this union, they brought together six children from previous marriages.&nbsp;

Jack, along with his wife Ilene, owned and operated Nebraska Vault Company from 1982 until his retirement in the early 2000s when they moved to Norway, Kansas. In 2013, Jack and Ilene returned to Belleville, KS where they spent their final years. From the mid-'60s, prior to owning and operating the Nebraska Vault Company, Jack worked for the Rock Island Railroad as a brakeman and fireman, until it closed for operation in 1981.&nbsp; Jack never met a stranger he didn't like and everyone who knew him will remember him as a kind and thoughtful person.&nbsp;Daddy put most of his energy into his work, building a very successful business in Columbus, Nebraska.&nbsp; After his love for his family, his biggest joys were attending his children’s and grandchildren’s sporting events, riding his horse Trigger, watching NASCAR and rooting on, many times cussing, at his beloved Nebraska Cornhuskers!

Jack passed away on March 25, 2021, at his home in Belleville with family by his side, at the age of 81 years, 9 months and 10 days.

<a href="https://www.mcdonaldrobertsfuneralservice.com/obituary/carldon-broadbent">Obituary | Carldon H. Broadbent of Beloit, Kansas | Roberts Family Funeral Service (mcdonaldrobertsfuneralservice.com)</a>

Carldon Herschel Broadbent was born on April 25, 1930 to Carl and Julia Finney Broadbent on the farm in Bloomfield Township. He died Sunday, March 28, 2021 at his home in rural Beloit at the age of 90.

He was a 1948 graduate of Beloit High School, as well as a graduate of Kansas State University and Emporia State. He started teaching rural school at District #82 in Laban, and in 1950 between college terms, and after college while farming the family land. In 1957, he joined Salina’s school system #305, and continued farming until 1960.

In 1990, he retired after 37 years as an educator, and returned to his home south of Beloit.

He was active in the Mitchell County Historical Society, the Pleasant View United Methodist Church, and numerous county and state organizations. The many trees and plants on his homestead, on which he built and laid out in 1978, indicate some of his other interests.

Carldon was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Neida Vonne Broadbent Zeek; nephews, Galen Zeek and Carl Ray Hobbs; and great-nephews, Joel Dean Hobbs and G.W. Pendlay.

He is survived by his sister, Beverly Broadbent Hobbs; nephew Daniel Hobbs (Rita); niece, Juanita Zeek Pendlay (Bill); six nephews; and one great-niece – of these, four have children, adding to the family several great-great relations whom Carldon tracks with interest. He encouraged the great-niece and nephews in their careers and education, and was proud that eight earned their college educations.

Graveside memorial services will be at 10 a.m. Monday, April 5 at Elmwood Cemetery in Beloit. Cremation has taken place and there will be no visitation. 

Memorials may be given to the Mitchell County Anthropological Society.
