<a href="https://www.mcdonaldrobertsfuneralservice.com/obituary/phyllis-file">Obituary | Phyllis File of Beloit, Kansas | Roberts Family Funeral Service (mcdonaldrobertsfuneralservice.com)</a>

Phyllis L. File was born on September 11, 1938 on the family farm outside of Aurora, Kansas, the middle daughter to Felix and Adele Zimmer Forgue. She died early Thursday, April 15, 2021 at the Mitchell County Hospital in Beloit, Kansas at the age of 82.

She grew up and attended country school, as well as Aurora High School, where she was named the Winter Sports Homecoming Queen, and graduated in 1956. Following graduation, she moved to Concordia, where she worked in the corporate office of Boogaarts for 10 years before getting moved to Beloit. While there, she ran the business machines and processed accounts for vendors, as well as the company payroll. She also enjoyed bowling on the Boogaarts women's team, which also won the league championship.

In early 1965, she met Dickie File in Concordia at various clubs as they attended dances with friends. They were married on July 30, 1966 in Concordia. One son, Bruce was born to this union.

They lived in Beloit for three years, and then in the spring of 1970, moved into the File family farm house. Their family lived there until Dick’s passing in 2012, and their son Bruce currently lives there.

Phyllis was a devoted wife and mother, and loved her family and family get-togethers. She always had a large vegetable garden in the summer, a flower garden, and strawberry patch. She did lots of canning in the summer and fall. During harvest, she always drove grain trucks, and cooked many meals for the harvest crews. Additionally, she cooked at the Sale Barn Café in Beloit for many years, as well as at the Beloit Elks Club. She also worked in the kitchen at the Youth Center of Beloit, where she retired after 20 years.

Dickie and Phyllis also enjoyed traveling in their spare time, as they took many trips to the western U.S., including the Rockies, Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, and the Black Hills. She also met Dickie in Washington, D.C. after his ride in the tractorcade as part of the American Agriculture Movement in 1979.

In addition to her husband Dickie, she was preceded in death by her parents; sister, LeAnna and her husband Bob; and sister-in-law, Lois Krone.

Phyllis is survived by her son Bruce of Beloit; sister, Janice (Chuck) Nunn of Garden City; sisters-in-law, Pauline (Larry) Schlaefli of Hays, and Irma (Steve) Davison of Washington state; and many nieces and nephews.

Geneva “Genny” Dawson, the daughter of Harold, Jr. and Margaret (Murphy) Connet, took her first breath into this world, October 15, 1937 in Manhattan, Kansas. Genny took her last breath on earth after enduring nine long years of dementia and labored breathing all day in her home, surrounded by her loved ones. For her body called it quits at 5 p.m., Saturday, April 17, 2021.

She lived a beautiful long life full of many trials and tribulations, growing up with Christ in the center of her heart she was able to lead many to Christ through her love and conquer any trial that was put in her path. 

After marrying her first love, Burl Dawson, whom preceded her in death on February 25, 1956, she had two beautiful talented children, Guy Dawson whom preceded her in death 23 years ago and Gayle Ward, to which she survives along with husband Brian Ward in Salina. 

Later, June 6, 1958, she married Kenneth "Kenny" Dawson in Abilene. He survives of the home. Together they had five more children, still all surviving, which include her daughters Sue Gilbreath and her husband Mike of Olathe, Kansas, Gina and her husband Dusty Kuntz of Abilene, sons Scott and his wife Maureen Dawson of Abilene, Grant Dawson and his wife Terri of Salina, Josh Dawson and his wife Deanna of Bennington, fourteen grandchildren and several great grandchildren.

Following graduation at Abilene High School, Genny received her cosmetology degree. She worked for Rhea Millham from 1969 – 1971 and was a bookkeeper for Ken Dawson Construction from 1971 – 1974. Genny then started Genny’s Country Cupboard in 1976, along with her dream of opening a bakery within where she became known as “The Cinnamon Roll Lady" making GENNY'S famous cinnamon rolls for 24 ½ years until her retirement in 2000.

You could always find Genny in an apron as she enjoyed baking and cooking, not only for her large family but for friends and the community. If she baked goodies for you, you better believe there was love put into it because you see, love was Mom's secret ingredient for all her recipes. "If you don't make it with love, it'll never turn out just right" she always said. 

But her true passion was her love for Christ. Up until her last months, she could still tell you in complete details how Jesus came to see her at age five in her basement bedroom at 805 Bluemont in Manhattan, telling her He loved her. She has lived and believed this her whole life. His love has shined through her eyes and poured out of her onto others. 

Her family, especially rocking her babies, being a mom, grandma and wife, were her biggest joys in life. Along with her first husband Burl and son Guy, she was preceded in death by her brothers Jerry Connet, and Murel Connet, and sister Judy Fells, and her parents.

.Mom was loved by many, but there was no greater love than the love shown by Dad, during her last years. He was an example of the love of Christ, how love bears all things, believes all things and endures all things.

Services for Genny will be 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, April 21, 2021 at the Trinity Lutheran Church with Reverend Keith Less, Pastor Lindsey Brummer and Mr. Tim Johnson officiating. Burial will take place in the Abilene Cemetery immediately following. A luncheon will be provided at the Elks for family and friends to continue rejoicing farewell to her at her request. "With lots of prayers, songs and memories to all I love and enjoy doing for in my lifetime."

Her family would be honored to receive friends from 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. Tuesday evening at the funeral home. 

In lieu of flowers, the family request memorial contributions be made to the Trinity Lutheran Church for the benefit of families in need, along with hospice and may be sent in care of the Martin-Becker-Carlson Funeral Home, 414 NW 3rd, Street, Abilene, Kansas 67410. 

Our lives are filled with reminders of how tragic the consequences can be when we lose sight of our real mission on this earth, which is to love and live in harmony with one another. "I am confronted by this truth that when we suffer and die for Christ it only means that we will begin living with him in heaven." (2 Timothy 2:11)

Genny is finally resting in the arms of Jesus.

Genny took her last breath on earth after enduring nine long years of dementia and labored breathing all day in her home, surrounded by her loved ones. For her body called it quits at 5 p.m., Saturday, April 17, 2021.She lived a beautiful long life full of many trials and tribulations, growing up with Christ in the center of her heart she was able to lead many to Christ through her love and conquer any trial that was put in her path. After marrying her first love, Burl Dawson, whom preceded her in death on February 25, 1956, she had two beautiful talented children, Guy Dawson whom preceded her in death 23 years ago and Gayle Ward, to which she survives along with husband Brian Ward in Salina. Later, June 6, 1958, she married Kenneth "Kenny" Dawson in Abilene. He survives of the home. Together they had five more children, still all surviving, which include her daughters Sue Gilbreath and her husband Mike of Olathe, Kansas, Gina and her husband Dusty Kuntz of Abilene, sons Scott and his wife Maureen Dawson of Abilene, Grant Dawson and his wife Terri of Salina, Josh Dawson and his wife Deanna of Bennington, fourteen grandchildren and several great grandchildren.Following graduation at Abilene High School, Genny received her cosmetology degree. She worked for Rhea Millham from 1969 – 1971 and was a bookkeeper for Ken Dawson Construction from 1971 – 1974. Genny then started Genny’s Country Cupboard in 1976, along with her dream of opening a bakery within where she became known as “The Cinnamon Roll Lady" making GENNY'S famous cinnamon rolls for 24 ½ years until her retirement in 2000.You could always find Genny in an apron as she enjoyed baking and cooking, not only for her large family but for friends and the community. If she baked goodies for you, you better believe there was love put into it because you see, love was Mom's secret ingredient for all her recipes. "If you don't make it with love, it'll never turn out just right" she always said. But her true passion was her love for Christ. Up until her last months, she could still tell you in complete details how Jesus came to see her at age five in her basement bedroom at 805 Bluemont in Manhattan, telling her He loved her. She has lived and believed this her whole life. His love has shined through her eyes and poured out of her onto others. Her family, especially rocking her babies, being a mom, grandma and wife, were her biggest joys in life. Along with her first husband Burl and son Guy, she was preceded in death by her brothers Jerry Connet, and Murel Connet, and sister Judy Fells, and her parents. .Mom was loved by many, but there was no greater love than the love shown by Dad, during her last years. He was an example of the love of Christ, how love bears all things, believes all things and endures all things.Services for Genny will be 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, April 21, 2021 at the Trinity Lutheran Church with Reverend Keith Less, Pastor Lindsey Brummer and Mr. Tim Johnson officiating. Burial will take place in the Abilene Cemetery immediately following. A luncheon will be provided at the Elks for family and friends to continue rejoicing farewell to her at her request. "With lots of prayers, songs and memories to all I love and enjoy doing for in my lifetime."Her family would be honored to receive friends from 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. Tuesday evening at the funeral home. In lieu of flowers, the family request memorial contributions be made to the Trinity Lutheran Church for the benefit of families in need, along with hospice and may be sent in care of the Martin-Becker-Carlson Funeral Home, 414 NW 3rd, Street, Abilene, Kansas 67410. Our lives are filled with reminders of how tragic the consequences can be when we lose sight of our real mission on this earth, which is to love and live in harmony with one another. "I am confronted by this truth that when we suffer and die for Christ it only means that we will begin living with him in heaven." (2 Timothy 2:11)Genny is finally resting in the arms of Jesus.

<a href="https://www.mcdonaldrobertsfuneralservice.com/obituary/nancy-travis">Obituary | Nancy Travis of Beloit, Kansas | Roberts Family Funeral Service (mcdonaldrobertsfuneralservice.com)</a>

Nancy Travis, age 71, joined her husband Bill in heaven on April 15, 2021.&nbsp; She passed away at&nbsp; The Downs Care &amp; Rehabilitation Center in Downs, Kansas.

Nancy was born on September 18, 1949 in Concordia, Kansas, to Leonard and Delema Erickson. She was raised on a farm north of Courtland, Kansas. Nancy was the baby of the family as her siblings Shirley and Walter were several years older.&nbsp; Nancy Lou was the apple of her daddy’s eye and was spoiled by everyone.&nbsp; She proudly graduated from Courtland High School in 1968. On June 1, 1969 she married the love of her life Bill Travis and settled in Minneapolis, KS. This union was blessed with two boys, Jeff and Greg.

Nancy spent much of her life being a homemaker and raising her boys.&nbsp; Throughout her time, she had several jobs which included being a daycare provider, a cook, and a CNA, to name a few.&nbsp; At one point in her life, she owned and ran “Nancy’s Retail Liquor Store” in Minneapolis where she enjoyed chatting with her many customers.

Throughout her life, she enjoyed playing dominoes, playing cards, and cooking for others.&nbsp; What she cherished the most was spending time with her family. While Bill was alive, they enjoyed many nights of bingo, bowling and trips to casinos.&nbsp; Nancy could be seen at many activities that involved her grandchildren Taylor, Makenzie, and Zachary. She was always up for a game of who could scare who the best.&nbsp; This trait was passed to her from her father.

<a href="https://www.mcdonaldrobertsfuneralservice.com/obituary/charles-dagley">Obituary | Charles Dagley of Beloit, Kansas | Roberts Family Funeral Service (mcdonaldrobertsfuneralservice.com)</a>

Charles Milton (Chuck) Dagley, 69, passed away April 14, 2021, at his home in Beloit, Kansas, with his wife of 20 years, Leanna (Prewett), by his side.&nbsp;

Chuck was born to Tom and Beverly (Pretz) Dagley on August 13, 1951, in Long Beach, California.&nbsp; The young family moved north to Alaska in 1954, where he spent most of his life. He grew up in Fairbanks,&nbsp; and worked with his father in many different endeavors, including gold mining and dog mushing.&nbsp; After graduating from high school, Chuck moved to Anchorage where he worked in the aviation industry for many years, and then on to general maintenance work, with a specialization in electrical.&nbsp; He had a vast knowledge of how to build and repair many things, with a keen eye for details.

He loved to share his experiences with anyone and could talk for hours about fishing, hunting, bear-guarding, air-boating, snow-machining, living off the grid, the Alaska railroad and on and on.&nbsp; His happiest times were spent at his cabin which was accessible only by the flagstop train or snow machine.&nbsp; Health issues prevented him from continuing to enjoy the Alaska lifestyle, so when Leanna retired from her job with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, they moved to Beloit to be closer to her family.

Chuck was proud of his role as step-dad to Leanna’s daughters, Melissa, Stephanie and Cassie, and&nbsp; loved being Papa to the grandchildren, Tyger, Nikki, Natalie, Shaun, Dylan, Makenna, Landon, Emerson, Alexis and Trever, all of whom survive him.&nbsp; Sons-in-law knew they could count on him for assistance or advice when needed.

Chuck was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Beverly. He is survived by his siblings, Barb (Tootie) and James (Nino), his adopted children, Derrick and Karen, as well as his step-daughters and their children.&nbsp; He leaves behind many friends, relatives and in-laws with fond "remember whens."

Per Chuck’s wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no services.&nbsp; Leanna will take him back to their cabin in Alaska one last time.&nbsp; Donations in his name to Solomon Valley Hospice, Beloit, Kansas, will be greatly appreciated.

On Wednesday April 14th Jim Boyer (78) passed away. He was a devoted husband, father, and friend. He met the love of his life Edee (Hansen) in high school. They have been the model for a loving, supportive marriage. Without a doubt, the greatest gift he gave to his three kids and his six “grands” was the profound love he had for their mom/NaNa. Jim is survived by his wife of 57 years and their three children and six grandchildren: Bret and wife Kristin, daughter Joslyn (of Round Rock, TX) Jason and wife Dana, sons Hunter, Brodie (of Meriden, KS) Jamie Hicks and husband Ryan, daughter Allie, sons Colson, Cooper (of McPherson) When asked to describe their Papa in one word, each grandchild provided a perfect aspect of who their Papa was: Hunter (21) said “Teacher” Allie (20) said “Adventurist” Colson (17) said “Stoic” Joslyn (16) said “Protector” Brodie (14) said “Wholesome” Cooper (10) said “Nice” Jim truly lived an extraordinary life. A Christian and a life-long student of the Bible, Jim had many interests, and he approached each with a laser focus. He worked in Idaho and Utah for the U.S. Forest Service in the summers from the time he was 17 through 24. He fought forest fires, worked on trail maintenance and fell in love with the mountains and hiking. While in Idaho, he started the first youth baseball team for the town of Clark Fork, Idaho. He grew up in Sioux City, Iowa, graduating from East High School, having played on an exceptional basketball team that is still remembered to this day. He continued to play basketball at Wayne State College and Morningside College, where he earned a degree in education. He attended graduate school at the University of Utah, after which he taught history, economics and government at LeMars High School in Iowa, while also writing curriculum for the American government classes and coaching the varsity boys’ basketball team. During the summers, he worked with the Youth Conservation Corps, sharing his love for the out-of-doors with teenagers. In 1979, he, Edee, and their young family moved to McPherson as the owners of Culligan Water Conditioning, the business he and Edee ran together for more than 20 years. When they sold their successful business in 1999, Jim worked for Culligan International, traveling the southwest quarter of the United States before retiring. Jim’s commitment to civic responsibility and engagement continued into his retirement. After leaving Culligan, he took the classes and certification to become a “master gardener” through Kansas State University’s extension program. He helped start a demonstration garden in McPherson with the McPherson Master Gardeners and Friends. He and Edee loved gardening and giving away produce to family and friends. He worked hard with the city of McPherson to help put in better sidewalks so kids would be safer as they walked and rode bikes to school. He also volunteered much of his time to help others, most recently with Meals on Wheels. In addition, he was very involved as a long-time member of the McPherson United Methodist Church. He volunteered countless hours, taught Sunday school, and served on many committees. Throughout his life, Jim’s love for adventure was equally matched by his love for a solid nap. He approached both with full commitment. In fact, commitment was a hallmark feature. He never met a task or a project he couldn’t map out, organize and tackle. Other hallmarks have become legacies given to his children. He had a gift for fixing what was broken and that was passed on to his oldest son. He had a ferocious desire to protect that he passed on to his middle son. And he had an unlimited love for processes that he passed on to his youngest daughter. He had a fantastic sense of humor that was evident in his easy smile and deep laugh, and he passed on his sense of humor to each of his children in equal measure. He never grew weary of spending time listening to stories and laughing with friends and family, sitting with a newspaper in his hands, listening to music or drinking tea. Anyone who knew Jim is better for having met him. He will be forever loved, cherished and carried in our hearts and memories. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Memorials in memory of Jim are suggested to Kindred Hospice or the Moundridge Manor and they can be sent in care of the Glidden - Ediger Funeral Home; 222 West Euclid; McPherson, Kansas 67460.
