Gaylene F. Rupert, 70, of Salina, passed away Thursday, May 20, 2021. She was born Sept. 29, 1950 in Salina.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Elbert, and Helen (Wilcoxon) Hillan.

Survivors include her loving husband of 48 years, Jon Rupert of the home; sons, Ryan Rupert of Olathe, Lance (Deb) Rupert of Overland Park; grandchildren, Aidan Rupert of Kansas City, Griffin Rupert of Kansas City, Hannah Rupert of Kansas City.

After high school, Class of '68, Gaylene graduated from the Academy of Hair Design and after passing the State Board Certification, worked for Boykins in Salina. She enjoyed her time at UMB, Central National Bank and Mister Penguin Tuxedos, but her final and most enjoyable employment was being a paraprofessional at USD 305 and assisting those kids in the classroom and on the track and field team at Salina High School South.

Gaylene's life was devoted to her loving husband of 49 years, her two children, and her grandchildren. She absolutely loved being a wife, mother, and grandparent, and genuinely cared for others. She was the life of the party, enjoyed riding her husband's motorcycle, going to concerts, traveling, watching old movies, decorating her house, and most of all, creating memories with her families and friends. She loved a strong margarita and had a wicked sense of humor. Gaylene had the good fortune to be loved by many people in life, and she will be missed terribly. May Gaylene's name always be a blessing.

Visitation will be Wednesday, May 26, 2021, 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., 2 hours prior to her 2:00 p.m. funeral service at Roselawn Heights Memorial Chapel, 1920 E Crawford, Salina.

Helen Margaret (Bishop) Durr passed away in Salina, KS, on May 18, 2021,
 at the age of 95.&nbsp; Helen was born November 14, 1925 at Beaver, KS.&nbsp; She
 was the third of four children born to George Earl Bishop and Anna 
(Schremmer) Bishop. Helen grew up in Beaver, Kansas and 
graduated from St. Joseph’s Catholic school there.&nbsp;&nbsp; Her father accepted
 a job in Holyrood, KS and the family relocated there in 1941.&nbsp; In 
Holyrood she met her future husband Dale Dane Durr.&nbsp; They were married 
August 19, 1947 in the St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Holyrood, KS.&nbsp; In 
March 1948 they moved to the Durr farm home located 2 miles south, 3 
miles east and ¾ mile south of Smith Center, KS in Crystal Plains 
Township, Smith County, KS.&nbsp; Their son Dan Dale Durr was born in 1950 
and son Douglas Don Durr was born in 1954.&nbsp; The boys attended rural 
Pleasant Dale School until their 3rd (Douglas) and 7th (Dan) grades.&nbsp; In
 1962 the family moved their rural home to 310 Park Street, Smith 
Center, KS.&nbsp; Helen worked part time at Stevenson’s Men’s Clothing Store 
and for 22 years at Chandler’s and Weltmer Livestock Auction office. 
 After 48 years together, Dale, Helen’s love, friend and life partner, 
passed away on March 17, 1996.&nbsp; Helen and Dale loved the time spent with
 friends playing cards, dancing and visiting.&nbsp; After Dale’s death Helen 
greatly missed the social times with other couples.&nbsp; Helen loved people 
and she was involved in many social groups.&nbsp; She was a charter member of
 St. Mary’s Catholic Church and Altar Society.&nbsp; Some of her social clubs
 included Golden Oldies, Silver Needle, Garden Lore Club (for 57 years 
in 2019), card clubs of bridge, pitch and pinochle.&nbsp; She enjoyed her 
hobbies of crocheting and jigsaw puzzles.&nbsp; Helen organized the Red Hat 
chapter in Smith Center in June 2004. In 2009, Helen moved 
from her home at 310 Park Street to the new Smith Estates apartments in 
Smith Center.&nbsp; She was very happy there and made many new friends.&nbsp; 
Helen was always so grateful to her many young friends who helped her to
 enjoy the many activities during her “golden years.” She was
 preceded in death by her parents, brothers, Lawrence and Julius Bishop,
 sister Ethel Driscoll and grandson David Dane Durr.&nbsp; A seven carnation 
bouquet has been placed on her casket in colors of 3 red, 3 white and 1 
blue in memory of the deceased members of her immediate family. 
 Helen is survived by her two sons and two special daughters-in-law&nbsp; ̶&nbsp;
 Dan Dale Durr and Laurlee “Laurie” (Braden) Durr of Tumwater, WA and 
Douglas Don Durr and Marcia “Jo” (Gilg) Durr of Salina, KS.&nbsp; Her 
surviving grandchildren are: Amy (Devin) Harder, Faskatoon, WA; Dustin 
(Susan) Durr, Salina, KS; Jaci Durr, McPherson, KS.&nbsp; Her surviving great
 grandchildren are Dylan Potter, WA; Baleigh Harder, Olympia, WA;

great great grandchildren are Elie Potter, WA.&nbsp; She is also survived by a
 sister-in-law Lawanda Freese, Hutchinson, KS, and a very special person
 in her life, niece Marilynn Reid, Lakewood, CO. Helen will 
be missed by many who loved her as she loved them, but she is surely now
 smiling down on all of us as she sends her love and blessings to each 
and every one. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 
10:30 a.m., Tuesday, May 25, 2021, at St. Mary's Catholic Church, 403 W.

Paula
 Lynne (Elder) Anderson died at the age of 68, at her home in Birch 
Tree, Missouri on May 17, 2021. She was born October 11, 1952, in 
Salina, Kansas to Frank and Jean (Little) Elder, where she grew up 
amongst a family of eight and was known as that spunky brown-eyed, 
brown-haired beauty in braids. She attended Fort Hays University after 
graduating from Salina High, class of 1970.

She
 married Clayton Anderson on March 27, 1981, and they lived in Smolan, 
Kansas before moving to rural Missouri. She was mom to Jennifer Jean 
Anderson and Ryan Franklin Anderson, whom she loved dearly. Her true 
passion was her love and devotion to her two grandchildren, Lucas and 
Serena.

Lynne
 mastered her studies of genealogy and took her knowledge of family and 
local history “on the road.”&nbsp; She often spoke at National Genealogy 
Conferences and conducted well-attended and fun re-enactments of 
characters in our family and other more well-known personalities. 
Especially memorable was her true-to-life presentation of our 
great-grandmother Weems, sunbonnet and all.

Additionally,
 she was an accomplished seamstress and quilter, sharing with family and
 friends her works of art. Above all, Lynne will be remembered for her 
quick, off the wall, sense of humor! Her antics and ability to invoke 
laughter in those around her, her candid vision, love of life, 
adventures, and misadventures will be treasured and missed always.

Lynne is preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Jean Elder; and two brothers, Grady and Lyle Elder.

She
 is survived by her husband, Clayton; two children; two grandchildren; 
two sisters, Faye (Marvin) Clements, Carol (Rick) Doran; one brother, 
Bryan (Pam) Elder; and in addition to a multitude of nieces, nephews, 
and cousins.

There
 will be a benefit in memory of Lynne on June 12, 2021, at the Winsome 
Plantation Venue. Food will be served from 4-6:00 p.m. with an auction 
and quilt raffle to follow. Proceeds will go towards outstanding medical
 and funeral costs. Donations of food, auction items, or money will be 
handled by Trista Smotherman Thomas. A family gathering will be held 
later in the summer. Cremation arrangements were under the direction of 
Yarber Mortuary, Birch Tree. Condolences may be expressed at 
www.yarbermortuary.com.
