<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Virginia-Lilly">Obituary for Virginia Arlene (Bengtson) Lilly | Ryan Mortuary</a>

September 14, 1924 - March 21, 2021 MENTOR - Virginia Arlene Lilly passed away on March 21, 2021 at her home surrounded with love by her family. She was born in Smolan, Kansas on September 14, 1924. Her parents were Gustaf and Augusta (Ohman) Bengtson. She was confirmed into the Salemsborg Lutheran Church, and after her marriage transferred church membership to the Mentor United Methodist Church.

She married Kendall Lilly on August 25, 1946. They made their home in Mentor, Kansas, where they lived the rest of their lives. To this union were born 3 children: Richard of Overland Park, Ks; Janet Lilly of Salina, Ks. and Roger of Austin, TX.

Virginia was a homemaker and loved to be in her kitchen cooking for the family. She really enjoyed baking and was famous in the Lilly family for her chocolate brownies. She was always asked to make them for every family gathering.

Over the years she was a faithful volunteer worker at White Cross Nursing Home, playing her autoharp and singing for the residents. She did craft projects with them and just loved visiting with all of them. When that nursing home closed, she started visiting various nursing homes in Salina, bringing them homemade treats and having a “social hour” with the residents and staff. When physically able she also loved to work in her yard with all of her beautiful flowers.

For much of her adult life she was a Sunday School teacher, an active member of the United Methodist Women and sang in the church choir. Her church and church family meant everything to her. Virginia loved her children dearly but her greatest joy was becoming a Grandmother and Great Grandmother. She doted on all of them as often as she could.

She was preceded in death by her parents; brothers Axel and Raymond Bengtson, infant brother Eric; sisters Irene McCormick, Evelyn Reed, Ruby Fulton and Grace Johnson.

She is survived by a brother, Lawrence, of Wichita, Kansas; her children, Richard (Mary Jane), Janet Lilly and Roger (Sharmyn). She is also survived by grandchildren: Ryan (Danielle) Carlin of Timberlake, NC; Kendra Carlin of Smolan, Ks.; Sara (Brian) Falter of Olathe, Ks; Jason (Kelli) Lilly of Olathe, Ks,; Aaron (Christine) Lilly of Lenexa, Ks.; and great grandchildren, Avery and Beckett Lilly of Olathe; Harper and Olivia Lilly of Lenexa.

November 7, 1949 - Saturday, March 6, 2021

Ernie “Big Ern” Hough, 71, affectionately called Ernie, a resident of Solomon, Kansas died on March 6, 2021 from complications of an acute heart attack and open heart surgery. He was born November 7, 1949, the son of Guy Ernest Hough, Sr. and Cora Faye Lamb Hough, also of Solomon, Kansas.

Ernie grew up in Solomon and helped his parents operate Hough’s Grocery. Many summers he and his family would head to Redstone, Colorado at the base of Mount Sopris where Ernie would spend many hours walking and fishing the Crystal River. After graduating from Solomon High School in 1967, he was drafted and served in the US Navy for four years, primarily in Communications in San Diego, California. 

After his military service, Ernie participated in several mission trips to remote areas of Alaska building cabins and outbuildings in base camps. Returning to Solomon, he then owned and operated Big Ern’s, a very popular bar known for its Friday nights $1 beer.

Following his father’s death in 2003, and learning of an unusual eye conditions of his mother’s, he wanted a way to take her traveling while she could still see. They decided to take off in a 40ft travel trailer and learn the business of antique shows and festival vendor. For many years they traveled up and down the East Coast participating in shows. During this time Ernie learned how to be successful in the business and upon Cora’s death in 2010, he continued operating the business on his own. 

Over the next eleven years, Ernie loved being on the road and focused his attention on the Midwest, Colorado, Texas and Arizona. At the time of his death, he was well known in many states and by many junkers and traders, and was operating two large vendor stores in Colorado as well as moving large amounts of inventory from state to state.

Ernie was a man of few words, but if you were lucky enough to be his friend, there wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do for you. He was funny, supportive, an adventurer, a good listener and observer and so kind to so many people in amazing ways.

Being an only child and never married Ernie is survived by Hazel Figler of California, Patsy Barlow of Abilene, Kansas and Tom Lamb of Solomon, Kansas and several nieces and nephews. He is also survived by his many good friends throughout the United States.

A life of Celebration service will be held for Ernie at Carlson-Becker Funeral Home Saturday, March 27, 2021 at 10:00 A.M., followed by his burial at Prairie Mound Cemetery in Solomon. Family will receive friends Friday evening from 5-7PM at the funeral home. 

In lieu of Flowers, his friends Dody Bricker and Marilyn Krantz are establishing a Solomon Alumni Scholarship for Kids. Memorials may be mailed Carlson-Becker Funeral Home, PO Box 308, Solomon, Kansas 67480 or dropped off at the funeral home the day of the service.&nbsp;&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.nsrfh.com/obituary/doris-wingerson"></a>Doris Marcine Wingerson, 100, died March 3, 2021, in Portland, OR.&nbsp; Born in Clay Center, KS, she was the daughter of Richard August and Johanna Dorothea (aka Dora) (Obenland) Brueggemann.&nbsp; Always identifying as an educator, Doris, at 17, initiated a long-term relationship with Tri-Sigma while starting college at Kansas State Teachers College of Emporia, Emporia, KS.&nbsp; She began teaching kindergarten and primary grades at age 19.&nbsp; After teaching a few years, she returned to get her BA, then again taught until she married George Charles Wingerson in 1949.&nbsp; The couple had three children, Georgann Dorthe, Jon Richard (Ricky), and Dane Kurt.&nbsp; Doris and George divorced in1984.

Doris was molded by the years she lived in KS, 1921 - 1962.&nbsp; Most of those years, she spent growing up in Clay Center or raising her family in Hill City.&nbsp; She always felt close to her identical twin, Dorothy, and nieces Doris Caryl and Sally, Jayhawkers all.&nbsp; Though she only returned to KS for visits, KS remained her soul.

Doris lived from 1966 – 2010 in Idaho Falls, ID.&nbsp; She developed long-term friendships with those she met in the League of Women Voters and the American Association of University Women.&nbsp; For years, she weekly volunteered with the Lutheran Braille Workers. She attended Hope Lutheran Church and was well and lovingly supported by the ministry and congregants.&nbsp; Her wonderful neighbors always looked out for her.&nbsp; Her physician, Eric Wingerson, DO, went above and beyond to assure her wellness and safety.&nbsp; Friends delighted in being among a long list of people whom she would call, delivering her unique birthday greetings.&nbsp; All would agree that Doris was a “character.”

Survivors include daughter Georgann, son Dane, grandson Andy, and granddaughter Mary.&nbsp;

Doris was preceded in death by her son Ricky, 1956; her former husband George, 2001; and her sister Dorothy, 2013.&nbsp;

A private graveside service will be held in Clay Center, KS in the autumn.&nbsp;

No memorials are requested.&nbsp; Doris would ask that all spend their funds to go to school and be educated.&nbsp;

A kiss on the forehead goes to everyone who cared for “the little ol’ lady on Tendoy,” as she cheerfully called herself.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Julia-Bailey">Obituary for Julia (Zaragoza) Bailey | Ryan Mortuary</a>

February 25, 1927 ~ March 13, 2021 (age 94)

Julia Zaragoza Bailey, 94, of Salina, passed peacefully at home surrounded by family Saturday, March 13, 2021. Julia was born in Salina, Kan., February 25, 1927.

Julia enjoyed her life to the fullest with family and friends. She was an avid gardener, animal lover, fantastic bowler (average 210), and traveled extensively throughout her life. What truly set her apart was her feisty loving spirit. To have her in your life was to know the true meaning of unconditional (sometimes tough) love.

Another trademark of Julia's Spirit was her tenacious work ethic. She graduated Salina High School in 1945 and went on to receive her business degree from Brown Mackie College. She worked at JJ Newbury, Beech Aircraft, owned and operated El Sombrero Restaurant, Gibson’s, A + B Machine Shop, Central Mall, and finished her career as a CNA and CMA at McCall Manor. She was a life member of the VFW Auxiliary, Sacred Heart Cathedral (Salina), and Machinist Union AFL-C10.

Julia was a mother, grandmother, sister, and friend to many. She is survived in death by her sisters, Patricia Martinez and Rita Alloway; children, Bruce, Scott, Barbara; grandchildren, Tyson, Melanie, Bruce, Gary (Jessica), Tonya (Josiah), Bryan, Tyler, Kayleigh; and ten great-grandchildren. She was never afraid to speak her mind and often shared her thoughts about life freely. Although she bestowed upon us many of her "pearls of wisdom" we find that her wording is a bit too "colorful" for the local paper.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Ramon and Avelina (Torres) Zaragoza; daughter, Annette Bailey Biscamp; brothers, David, Henry, Augustine, Everett, Gabriel, Daniel, and Raymond; and sisters, Lenore, Mary, Margaret, Antonia, and Emmaline.

Visitation will be 4-8 p.m. Friday, March 26, at Ryan Mortuary, Salina, with a vigil service at 6.

Mass of Christian Burial will be at 11 a.m. Saturday, March 27, at Sacred Heart Cathedral, with burial to follow at Mt. Calvary Catholic Cemetery, Salina.

Memorials may be made to Salina Animal Services, care of Ryan Mortuary.
