<a href="https://www.wilsonfamilyfuneralhome.com/obituary/kenneth-d-wedel-md">Obituary | Kenneth D. Wedel, M.D. of Minneapolis, Kansas | Wilson Family Funeral Home</a>

Kenneth Dean Wedel, M.D., surrounded by family, died in peace at his home on March 13, 2021 at the age of 88.&nbsp; Ken, the son of Arthur A. and Elizabeth K. Wedel, was born at the family farmhouse in McPherson County, Kansas on July 28, 1932, one hour before his beloved identical twin brother, Kermit.&nbsp; From the beginning, the twins were inseparable.&nbsp; Of Swiss Mennonite heritage, they both spoke only German until the age of five.&nbsp;

Ken attended grade school at Garden Valley District No. 43, a one-room country schoolhouse in McPherson County, KS, and then Moundridge High School.&nbsp; After graduating from Bethel College in North Newton, KS, he received his medical degree from the University of Kansas School of Medicine.&nbsp; Always a Jayhawk, as twins Ken and his brother Kerm portrayed the role of James Naismith on each side of the basketball court at the opening ceremony of Allen Fieldhouse on March 1, 1955.

On April 30, 1954, Ken married his best friend and soulmate Dardanella Estelle Stucky, at the Eden Mennonite Church in Moundridge, KS.&nbsp; After earning his medical license, Ken and Darda moved to Minneapolis, KS, which became their forever family home and the place where they raised their five children.&nbsp; Ken began his medical career in Minneapolis in 1961 at the newly constructed Minneapolis Clinic. &nbsp;Sears-Roebuck agreed to provide the plans for the clinic at no cost.&nbsp; The charge for an office call was $1.50 for all patients; 50₵ for Medicare. With the presence of Ken and Kerm and the support of the community, the Ottawa County Hospital became a reality in 1964, followed by the opening of the Childs Clinic in Delphos, KS in 1970. He made house calls and appreciated the graciousness of the many methods of thanks shown by his patients, fresh vegetables, homemade pies, and other gifts from the heart.&nbsp; Ken loved the communities he served, the patients he cared for, and the nurses and the staff.&nbsp; Ken was grateful to learn at his retirement that a wing of the hospital was named in his honor. &nbsp;

As much as he loved his calling, nothing could compare to his love for Darda and family.&nbsp; He never missed a family event or a ball game.&nbsp; He knew the score of every game they played and loved to watch the Royals, Chiefs, KU and the Minneapolis Lions, especially with the Wedel clan.&nbsp; He was always there for family with words of encouragement and a listening ear, never raising his voice.&nbsp; He was an invaluable role model for his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.&nbsp; Ever humble in his endeavors, the family learned from the newspaper and not from Ken that in 1988 he was named &nbsp;Kansas Family Physician of the Year, a prestigious award based on nominations received from 607 physicians in the state.&nbsp;

With five kids at home and a busy career, Ken’s life would not have been complete without Darda, the cog in his wheel of life.&nbsp; From the time they met, to the end of his life, he wanted nothing more than to have her by his side.&nbsp; Darda gave him happiness, a loving home and peace, and he is at peace now with a life that was happy, filled with joy and family.

Ken was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Delbert and sister Leola.&nbsp; He is survived by his wife, Darda, his brother Kerm (Kathleen), 5 children, Susan (Brad) Krehbiel, Karen (Randy) Renwick, Mark (Carolyn) Wedel, Mike (Nancy) Wedel, Duane (Janette) Wedel, 12 grandchildren; Ben (Erin) Krehbiel, Ty (Kim) Krehbiel, Courtney (Brandon) Horn, Emma Renwick, David (Pilar) Wedel, Jessica Wedel, Aaron (Sarah) Wedel, Drew (Kylie) Wedel, Ryan (Torey) Wedel, Mason Wedel, Logan Wedel, Sydney (Aaron) Brooks,&nbsp; 11 great grandchildren with 3 more on the way and a special family friend, Carolyn Coon.&nbsp; Ken leaves behind a legacy of love.

The family extends a special thanks to Dr. Kelly Yoxall and Dr. Trisha Barker Little, the daughter of his former partner and close personal friend, Dr. Steve Barker.

The family will be holding a private memorial service. &nbsp;Visitation without the family present will be from 2:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M, Friday, March 19 at Wilson Family Funeral Home, Minneapolis. &nbsp;In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the United Methodist Church or the Minneapolis Community Foundation Ken Wedel Fund created in his honor so that Ken and Darda can continue to support the community they love.&nbsp; The memorials may be mailed to the Wilson Funeral Home P.O. Box 166, Minneapolis KS 67467.

Wedel, was born at the family farmhouse in McPherson County, Kansas on July 28, 1932, one hour before his beloved identical twin brother, Kermit.&nbsp; From the beginning, the twins were inseparable.&nbsp; Of Swiss Mennonite heritage, they both spoke only German until the age of five.&nbsp;Ken attended grade school at Garden Valley District No. 43, a one-room country schoolhouse in McPherson County, KS, and then Moundridge High School.&nbsp; After graduating from Bethel College in North Newton, KS, he received his medical degree from the University of Kansas School of Medicine.&nbsp; Always a Jayhawk, as twins Ken and his brother Kerm portrayed the role of James Naismith on each side of the basketball court at the opening ceremony of Allen Fieldhouse on March 1, 1955.On April 30, 1954, Ken married his best friend and soulmate Dardanella Estelle Stucky, at the Eden Mennonite Church in Moundridge, KS.&nbsp; After earning his medical license, Ken and Darda moved to Minneapolis, KS, which became their forever family home and the place where they raised their five children.&nbsp; Ken began his medical career in Minneapolis in 1961 at the newly constructed Minneapolis Clinic. &nbsp;Sears-Roebuck agreed to provide the plans for the clinic at no cost.&nbsp; The charge for an office call was $1.50 for all patients; 50₵ for Medicare. With the presence of Ken and Kerm and the support of the community, the Ottawa County Hospital became a reality in 1964, followed by the opening of the Childs Clinic in Delphos, KS in 1970. He made house calls and appreciated the graciousness of the many methods of thanks shown by his patients, fresh vegetables, homemade pies, and other gifts from the heart.&nbsp; Ken loved the communities he served, the patients he cared for, and the nurses and the staff.&nbsp; Ken was grateful to learn at his retirement that a wing of the hospital was named in his honor. &nbsp;As much as he loved his calling, nothing could compare to his love for Darda and family.&nbsp; He never missed a family event or a ball game.&nbsp; He knew the score of every game they played and loved to watch the Royals, Chiefs, KU and the Minneapolis Lions, especially with the Wedel clan.&nbsp; He was always there for family with words of encouragement and a listening ear, never raising his voice.&nbsp; He was an invaluable role model for his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.&nbsp; Ever humble in his endeavors, the family learned from the newspaper and not from Ken that in 1988 he was named &nbsp;Kansas Family Physician of the Year, a prestigious award based on nominations received from 607 physicians in the state.&nbsp;With five kids at home and a busy career, Ken’s life would not have been complete without Darda, the cog in his wheel of life.&nbsp; From the time they met, to the end of his life, he wanted nothing more than to have her by his side.&nbsp; Darda gave him happiness, a loving home and peace, and he is at peace now with a life that was happy, filled with joy and family.Ken was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Delbert and sister Leola.&nbsp; He is survived by his wife, Darda, his brother Kerm (Kathleen), 5 children, Susan (Brad) Krehbiel, Karen (Randy) Renwick, Mark (Carolyn) Wedel, Mike (Nancy) Wedel, Duane (Janette) Wedel, 12 grandchildren; Ben (Erin) Krehbiel, Ty (Kim) Krehbiel, Courtney (Brandon) Horn, Emma Renwick, David (Pilar) Wedel, Jessica Wedel, Aaron (Sarah) Wedel, Drew (Kylie) Wedel, Ryan (Torey) Wedel, Mason Wedel, Logan Wedel, Sydney (Aaron) Brooks,&nbsp; 11 great grandchildren with 3 more on the way and a special family friend, Carolyn Coon.&nbsp; Ken leaves behind a legacy of love.The family extends a special thanks to Dr. Kelly Yoxall and Dr. Trisha Barker Little, the daughter of his former partner and close personal friend, Dr. Steve Barker.The family will be holding a private memorial service. &nbsp;Visitation without the family present will be from 2:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M, Friday, March 19 at Wilson Family Funeral Home, Minneapolis. &nbsp;In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the United Methodist Church or the Minneapolis Community Foundation Ken Wedel Fund created in his honor so that Ken and Darda can continue to support the community they love.&nbsp; The memorials may be mailed to the Wilson Funeral Home P.O.

<a href="https://www.stockhamfamily.com/obituaries/Jeane-Boswell/#!/Obituary">Jeane Ellen Boswell Obituary - Visitation &amp; Funeral Information (stockhamfamily.com)</a>

<a></a>Jeane Ellen Griffith Boswell lived a colorful life of 70 years, most of it in McPherson, KS. While she often appeared to be somewhat brusque and opinionated (and she WAS that!), she also had a very tender side…mostly when it came to animals (including strays) and humans less fortunate than she was. In her recent years, she struggled with esophageal cancer. After chemo and radiation treatments, the cancer appeared to be gone, but consuming food by mouth remained difficult and occasionally impossible. She had difficulty living on her own, but Bluestem Pace in McPherson went to the ends of the earth to help her in EVERY possible way. But even their care couldn’t have foreseen that in JUST ONE DAY she became VERY ill with sepsis, double pneumonia, rapid heart issues, and more. She struggled at the McPherson hospital while the staff worked tirelessly to help her recover. Finally, Jeane just told her doctor that she “Didn’t want to live this way anymore” and asked to be put on Hospice care. He agreed and Pace was able to get her moved to Schowalter Villa in Hesston, KS on March 3rd, 2021. After several visits by family members after she was admitted, on March 10th, her brother (Robert “GRIFF” Griffith) and Jeane’s adopted pastor (Joe Wright), went to see her. During their 45-minute visit, Pastor Wright sang several inspirational songs (including one about no more pain or tears in heaven), read a scripture, and prayed with Jeane including a prayer that Jeane prayed with him confirming her faith in Christ. While it was difficult for her voice to be strong with her oxygen cannula and all, she seemed VERY lucid and clear with her prayer and even remembered that she had an initial conversion at age 12 at Grace Bible Church in McPherson. It was a precious and touching time. She seemed calm when “GRIFF” and Joe left the room after hugging her and sharing “I love you’s.” Little did they realize that within 60-90 minutes, Jeane would quietly fall asleep only to be swept up by her Heavenly Father’s arms to live with Him forever! PRICELESS!!! Jeane is predeceased by her parents, Jack and Marianne Griffith, and nephew Brent Zweigle. She is survived by two sons, Shane Boswell, McPherson, and Eli Boswell (Amanda), Wichita. She leaves behind 8 grandchildren, Alex Boswell, Maria Boswell, Sidney Boswell, Violet Boswell, Whitney Robison, Nadia Becker, Aden Becker, and Miles Boswell, and 2 great-grandchildren, Matai Robison and Leilani Robison. Other survivors include her brother, Robert Griffith (Donna), Wichita, sisters Judie Moore (Roger) Chino Valley, AZ, Lynn Fox (Loren) Spokane Valley, WA, Leah Zweigle, Manheim, PA as well as lots of nieces and nephews. Jeane was born on her way to the hospital in a car on the streets of Chicago on March 26, 1950. She graduated from McPherson High School in 1968. Jeane worked most recently at Dillons where she enjoyed meeting old-time friends and new ones. A memorial service will be held on Thursday, April 1st, at 10:00 AM at the Lakeside Cabin, 300 Lakeside Dr., McPherson, KS. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to McPherson County Humane Society in care of Stockham Family Funeral Home, 205 N. Chestnut, McPherson, KS 67460.

<a href="https://www.mcdonaldrobertsfuneralservice.com/obituary/terry-seyfert">Obituary | Terry Seyfert of Beloit, Kansas | Roberts Family Funeral Service (mcdonaldrobertsfuneralservice.com)</a>

Terry Seyfert was born in Salina, Kansas on November 12th, 1951 to Gene and Catherine Seyfert.&nbsp; &nbsp; He grew up as a farm boy in Hunter, Kansas and was the only boy in a house with four sisters. Terry loved to coyote hunt with his dad. 

He graduated from Sylvan Unified High School in 1969. He received a degree in diesel mechanics in 1971 from the Beloit Vocational Technical School.&nbsp; Out of school, he worked for Moritz Implement, in Beloit until 1976. During this time, he also drove the school bus where he earned his CDL.&nbsp; From there, he became a truck driver for Farmway CO-OP for 18 years.&nbsp; After leaving Farmway, Terry was a long-haul truck driver for another 27 years.&nbsp; Within those 27 years he worked for TNT Dugan, CHS, Old Dominion and Marzolf Trucking.

In 1973, he met Julie Mall.&nbsp; They were married on April 5, 1975.&nbsp; Together they had two boys, Jeremy, and Casey.&nbsp; As a family, they enjoyed camping and boating at the lake every weekend. He shared his childhood love of coyote hunting where many memories were made. Terry was always there to support the boys in their activities. Even if that meant driving his truck to the events.&nbsp;

Terry was adored by his seven grandchildren. He always greeted them with a nickname and a smile.&nbsp; Together they created memories that will last a lifetime.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

He loved the open road in his truck and on his motorcycle.&nbsp; He always had a garden and could be found tinkering in his shed where he was either fixing or building something.&nbsp; He never met a stranger.&nbsp; While drinking coffee with his buddies at Casey’s General Store, he would greet everyone who walked into the store, whether he knew them or not, with his smile and a “how ‘ya doin’?”

He was an amazing man with a heart of gold.&nbsp; He was a blessing to all those who knew him and loved him.&nbsp; We will forever be thankful for the time that we had with him.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Terry was preceded in death by his father, Gene and sister Shirley Beuerlein.

He is survived by his wife, of 45 years, Julie, sons Jeremy (Beth) of Luling, LA and Casey (Amanda) of Beloit; his mother Catherine of Hunter and sisters Janice (Nick) Kastner of Wichita, Sharon (Larry) Dohe of Vesper, and Cherie (Jason) Nelssen of Beloit.&nbsp; He leaves behind seven adoring grandchildren: Grady, Tatum, Crosby, Slade and Sloan of Beloit and Reiley and Gage of Luling, LA, as well as numerous friends and relatives.&nbsp;&nbsp;
