<a href="https://www.mcdonaldrobertsfuneralservice.com/obituary/harold-newell">Obituary | Harold Francis Newell of Beloit, Kansas | Roberts Family Funeral Service (mcdonaldrobertsfuneralservice.com)</a>

Harold Francis Newell, age 76, of Beloit, passed away peacefully in his home, surrounded by loved ones on May 31, 2021. He was born on April 29, 1945 in Hays, Kansas, son of Lawrence (Joe) and Rita Newell, who preceded him in death. He was a dearly loved husband, father, grandpa, papa, great-grandpa, and brother.&nbsp; On October 26, 1965, Harold married Joyce Ann Compton. Home for Harold was Damar, Kansas, where he and Joyce, his lovely wife of 55 and a ½ years, raised their family and attended church.

There are no coincidences in God’s kingdom. Harold was a man of faith and generosity. He was also a man with a dashing sense of humor. It is fitting that he passed away on Memorial Day. He proudly served in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War, receiving a Bronze Star. On May 31, 2015 he was selected to take an Honor Flight. He was awarded a Quilt of Valor on November 3, 2017. 

He worked for Abercrombie Drilling Company until the oil crash in 1985. He then became a truck driver for the next 25 years, retiring only last December. Describing Harold as a hard worker is an enormous understatement. 

Just a few years ago he was harvesting fields in other states. He was known as the man in his seventies who could keep up with the kids in their twenties. There was never a dull moment with Harold. He lived his life to the fullest. In his younger years he enjoyed both motorcycle and horseback riding, playing pool and cards as well as hunting and camping. In his later years he loved spending time with his family and friends. He had a way of making everyone feel welcome. No one left the Newell table hungry. Joyce did the cooking and he did the laughing. He was passionate about guns, loved showing them to his loved ones and telling them stories. He enjoyed making ice cream and spoiling his grandchildren. He was loving, funny, and most of all ornery. He loved on his great-grandchildren, squeezing their little toes, roaring with laughter. He also enjoyed spending time with his siblings. Family was always the most important part of his life. He will be infinitely missed. 

Harold is preceded in death by his beloved grandson Brandon Doerfler; angel grandchildren, John, Christopher, Carsen, and Jessie Heidrick; angel great-grandchildren Tripp Fox and Baby Sharp; brothers Leland and Michael Newell; sisters Albertine Garcia, and Louise Schmidt. 

Left to cherish his memory are his wife Joyce Ann Compton Newell; children Shawna (Arlan) VanEngen, Billy (Tammi) Newell, Teresa (Scott) Heidrick; grandchildren Jordan (John) Fox, Brooke Newell, Brady (Shelby) Doerfler, Logan (Brooklyn) Newell, Brant (Theresa) Doerfler, Bryant Doerfler, Ragen (Justin) Sharp, Blake Newell, Andersen Heidrick; 20 great-grandchildren; brother Dale Newell; sisters Kathyleen Brown, Lois Sumner, Carmen Sims, and many nieces and nephews.&nbsp;&nbsp; Memorials may be given to the Perdue Hospitality House or the Damar City Park.

Memorial services for Harold Francis Newell, age 76, of Beloit will be at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, June 5 at the St. Joseph Catholic Church in Damar, KS. Mr. Newell died Monday, May 31 at his home.&nbsp; Visitation will be held at the church 6p.m. – 9 p.m. Rosary and vigil will take place at 7 p.m.

<a href="https://www.nsrfh.com/obituary/bruce-marshall">Obituary | Bruce Edward Marshall of Spring Hill, Kansas | Neill-Schwensen-Rook Funeral Home (nsrfh.com)</a>

Bruce Edward Marshall, 82, passed away peacefully on June 3, 2021, surrounded by his wife and three children.

Bruce was born on June 19, 1938, to Orris and Dorothy Marshall in Clay Center, Kansas. He grew up on a farm just outside the city in a house built by his great-grandfather. His only sibling, Keith, had been stillborn, so Bruce was raised as an only child but maintained close relationships with many cousins throughout his life. He enjoyed playing the baritone with a small orchestral group in his high school and graduated near the top of his class.

His family was devout and attended church any time the doors were open, and as Bruce grew older, he took a leadership role in the Conference Methodist Youth Fellowship. His grandmother Tippin had a particularly strong influence on his faith and had long desired for Bruce to become a minister, but Bruce himself didn’t feel the call to ministry until his freshman year of college. After receiving an English degree with a minor in religion and philosophy from Kansas Wesleyan College, Bruce went on to attend seminary at Drew Theological School in New Jersey where he received his Master of Divinity.

Bruce had grown up attending the same small church in Clay Center with his future wife Janice, but they didn’t begin dating until college. Once they were together, however, it didn’t take them long to know they wanted to get married. Bruce sold his baritone to buy Janice a diamond ring, and they became engaged on February 13, 1959. They married later that year on August 30. Together, they had three children, David, Stephen, and Becky, and formed a strong ministry team as they served in the United Methodist Church for 39 years. In total, Bruce pastored at ten churches, primarily in his home state of Kansas.

After being diagnosed with Meniere’s Disease, Bruce retired in 1998, and he and Janice moved to Olathe, Kansas and lived near their daughter Becky and her family. They enjoyed several trips together, including a trip to New England to see the fall foliage, one to California for the Rose Bowl, and one to Arizona to meet their great-granddaughter, Audrey.

Bruce was preceded in death by his parents Orris and Dorothy Marshall, and brother Keith Marshall. He is survived by his wife Janice Marshall; his children David (Brenda) Marshall, Stephen (DeAnna) Marshall, and Becky (Jon) Burrell; his grandchildren Chris (Ginger) Marshall, Ruthie Burrell, Jamie (Matt) Meier, Joel Burrell, Josh (Haley) Marshall, Nathan (Heather) Marshall, Isaac Burrell, and Lydia Burrell; and his great-granddaughter Audrey Marshall; as well as numerous cousins and friends.

I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. – Galatians 2:20

The family requests that any memorial donations be made to Kansas Wesleyan University c/o the funeral home.

<a href="https://www.ymzfh.com/obituary/Roger-Boelling">Obituary for Roger Glenn Boelling | Yazel-Megli Funeral Homes (ymzfh.com)</a>

February 27, 1942 ~ June 5, 2021 (age 79)

Roger Glenn Boelling completed his earthly journey on Saturday, June 5, 2021 at Herington Municipal Hospital. He had suffered from several illnesses since January 2021 and was finally overwhelmed by a month-long bout of aggressive cancer. He joins a heavenly band of KU fan family members who have gone before.

Roger was born in Abilene, Kansas but lived in Herington almost his entire life except for moves to Prairie Village, KS and Cedar Rapids, IA to follow his dad’s railroad career before returning to finish high school in Herington. He worked for a short time in Hutchinson after college, fortunately that was just long enough to meet his future wife. They met at a singles dance and, as Roger said: “I think she knew I was the one and she convinced me!” He married Helene Missildine July 20, 1968 in Hutchinson before moving back to Herington. They were married for 50 years until her death on September 8, 2018.

Flowers, music, reading, and walking were some of Roger’s hobbies.&nbsp; His interest in music was first demonstrated at just six years old when the Feb 27, 1948 Council Grove Republican reported that the annual 4-H achievement banquet show “was stolen by tiny tap-dancing Barbara Granzow and Roger Boelling, who appeared in colorful costumes” before the 300 in attendance.&nbsp; He regretted quitting his piano lessons after 5th grade, but music continued to be important in his life.&nbsp; Roger served for four-years as drum major of the University of Kansas Marching Band under Band Director Russell Wiley from 1962 to 1965. &nbsp;Therein began his lifelong support of University of Kansas athletics.&nbsp; He was an avid reader his entire life and participated for many years with the Herington Book Club.

Life was relaxed while he was growing up with lots of time for playing and learning.&nbsp; Holidays were important as were birthdays. He played with the neighborhood kids, rode bikes, played with his pets, and even made a scooter out of an orange crate and roller skate wheels. In high school, he tried to do well in the classroom, be involved in school activities and clubs. He served on Student Council, high school productions and was a basketball starter in high school.&nbsp;

While in high school, he worked as a soda-jerk in Gaylord “Red” Edwards’ Rexall pharmacy. There he became interested in pharmacy as a career. Fortunately for us, he graduated with a B.S. in pharmacy from the University of Kansas in 1966. He first worked as a pharmacist at Coberly Drug in Hutchinson Kansas. He moved back to Herington in 1968, this time as a pharmacist for “Red”.&nbsp; In July 1970, he purchased the pharmacy and continued to operate Boelling Pharmacy at 7 North Broadway until April 1981 when he moved and expanded it into the former Duckwall’s store at the corner of Main and Broadway. In 2014 he sold the Pharmacy. He retired in 2019 after a 53-year career as a pharmacist.

During his years as a pharmacy owner, he returned Edwards’s favor by providing many, many Herington students their first job as a soda-jerk at one of the few remaining soda fountains in Kansas.&nbsp; Many other area folks can attest to his kindness and personal attention when he would make after-hours trips to the store to fill/deliver prescriptions to those in need.&nbsp; He also had a “flexible” extended payment plan when prescription costs sometimes exceeded folks’ budgets. He was a compassionate, behind-the-scenes helper who did many things in the background to help Herington area residents. &nbsp;

Throughout his life he continued his love of sports by watching and sometimes coaching local sports. Many hours were spent in the pharmacy listening to games on the radio. His KU affiliation brought him great joy as a hard-core Kansas Jayhawk fan, crimson and blue through and through. Although he was known on occasion to reluctantly root for the team from Manhattan. In fact, after losing a game wager, he reportedly drove around Herington with a large purple sign in the back of his truck. Over his career, he endured several other purple events, but they were all to show his sport and willingness to poke fun at himself. Besides enjoying professional and college sports, when he could get away from the pharmacy, he supported and attended many local games to watch family and friends compete. &nbsp;He so loved watching his children and grandchildren perform in sports or music that he seldom missed an event and was known to drive four hours one way just so he could watch in person. &nbsp;

Roger was a lifetime Herington advocate.&nbsp; He always supported ALL of Herington. Over his years he served (often several times) on the Herington Hospital Board, Tri-County Chamber of Commerce, Herington Lions Club, Herington Library Board, Herington Recreation Commission and several Herington United Methodist Church boards and committees. He actively participated in the planning committee for the successful 1987 Herington Centennial. Most local groups and clubs knew he could always be counted on to donate time and money to support their efforts.

Roger served in the U.S. Army Reserves. He entered service in Fort Polk, LA on June 25, 1966. He was discharged as a captain in Hutchinson, KS on June 24, 1972, after six years of reserve service as a pharmacist. He received a sharpshooter medal.

There was another side of Roger. Besides all the public and community support he gave, he gave more to his faith and family. &nbsp;Faith, family, and fun were Roger’s priorities in life. &nbsp;&nbsp;His five most memorable moments of his life were 1) his infant baptism, 2) his confirmation, 3) graduating college, 4) adopting their two daughters and 5) having grandchildren.&nbsp; His proudest accomplishment was helping raise two daughters and having the opportunity to be a loving grandparent. His message to his remaining family is “I have loved being a spouse, a dad and a grandparent. Enjoy as many of these moments as you can. They go by way too fast. I am thankful for the life I have had as I look around and see so many others with many more problems than I have experienced. I am so thankful for our adoption of two beautiful and talented daughters.”&nbsp;

Roger attended St Paul’s Lutheran Church in Herington. He previously was a long-time member of the Herington United Methodist Church until it closed and also attended the First Christian Church in Herington.

Roger Glenn Boelling is survived by his children Allison Jean Braun (Chris) of Kansas City, KS. and Elizabeth Leigh Krause (Matt) of Solomon, KS; grandsons Logan Matthew Krause of Ottawa, KS and Spencer Paul Krause of Solomon, KS; brother Ross Kent Boelling (Lynnette) of rural Junction City, KS; brother-in-law John Missildine of Highland View, MO; sister-in-law Jackie Caldwell of Olathe, KS; sister-in-law Lisa Gartner (Dave) of Andover, KS; and a number of nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his wife Helene (Missildine) (2018), parents Ralph Charles Boelling (1973) and Betty Jean (Young) Boelling (2007) of Herington, sister Jarolyn Jean Schlesener (2011) (Mike) of Dalhart, TX and by his maternal grandparents Glenn Young (1939) and Marion Georgia (Flynn) Young (1969) of Herington as well as his paternal grandparents Fred J Boelling (1961) and Bertha O. (McCormick) Boelling (1945) of Herington.

Roger strove to be a good example for others to follow, a person who tried to find the good in everyone and as someone who loved music. His goal at work was to be fair with people. His favorite part of his career was working with and talking with people and his customers. Throughout his life he did so much for so many in the Herington area. His friendship, compassion, love, and humor will be missed by all who knew him.&nbsp;

A public remembrance gathering will be held Saturday, June 12, 2021 from 9:30-11:00 a.m. with a celebration of life service immediately following at 11:00 a.m. at the Herington Community Building, Herington KS. The family asks that you wear casual collegiate attire, preferably colored crimson and blue. A private inurnment will be held later.

The family requests in lieu of flowers that memorials be made to Herington Public Library, Herington Municipal Hospital, or the Helene Boelling Educational Fund, in care of Yazel-Megli Funeral Home, Herington Chapel, 404 S. Broadway, Herington, KS 67449-3038. &nbsp;

“His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’"&nbsp; Matthew 25:21 ESV.

I am thankful for the life I have had as I look around and see so many others with many more problems than I have experienced. I am so thankful for our adoption of two beautiful and talented daughters.”&nbsp;Roger attended St Paul’s Lutheran Church in Herington. He previously was a long-time member of the Herington United Methodist Church until it closed and also attended the First Christian Church in Herington.Roger Glenn Boelling is survived by his children Allison Jean Braun (Chris) of Kansas City, KS. and Elizabeth Leigh Krause (Matt) of Solomon, KS; grandsons Logan Matthew Krause of Ottawa, KS and Spencer Paul Krause of Solomon, KS; brother Ross Kent Boelling (Lynnette) of rural Junction City, KS; brother-in-law John Missildine of Highland View, MO; sister-in-law Jackie Caldwell of Olathe, KS; sister-in-law Lisa Gartner (Dave) of Andover, KS; and a number of nieces and nephews.

(McCormick) Boelling (1945) of Herington.Roger strove to be a good example for others to follow, a person who tried to find the good in everyone and as someone who loved music. His goal at work was to be fair with people. His favorite part of his career was working with and talking with people and his customers. Throughout his life he did so much for so many in the Herington area. His friendship, compassion, love, and humor will be missed by all who knew him.&nbsp;A public remembrance gathering will be held Saturday, June 12, 2021 from 9:30-11:00 a.m. with a celebration of life service immediately following at 11:00 a.m. at the Herington Community Building, Herington KS.

<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Christopher-Giroux">Obituary for Christopher L. Giroux | Ryan Mortuary</a>

Christopher L. Giroux, 24, of Salina, passed away Sunday, May 30, 2021. Christopher blessed this world with his arrival on January 17, 1997, forever wrecking his sister Kelci’s life.

He was most well-known for his boujee ways, infectious smile and never-ending appetite for everything!

Christopher was called friend by many. His very large group of friends each knew how special their presence in his life was to him. From simple messages to checking in with them and the many spoken “I got you’s,” his friends always knew they could count on him for anything they needed.

When his mother Dawn, needed them the most, these treasured friends showed up in force, sharing with a grief-stricken mother, the power of a son’s love. They grieved with her and consoled her with the knowledge that Chris always let them know that his mom was his best friend and his sister Kelci a close second.

Speaking of his annoying sister…When Chris lost his leg in an accident two years ago, his anguish, fear and frustration resulted in him pushing everyone who loved him away from his bedside in the hospital, with the only exception being his beloved sister, Kelci. Kelci provided round-the-clock care during this tough time in his young life.

Christopher’s passion for life was matched only by his persistence and strength of character. Within two days of the accident that took his leg, he insisted on returning to his job (and did). It was this persistence and strength of character that kept him always moving forward and chasing the boujee things in this life!

Chris shared a special bond with his father Norman, who preceded him in death in 2010. His remaining family - Dawn, mother; Kelci, sister; Mary, grandmother; Bill, grandfather and Cody, CJ and Austin Giroux, brothers, as well as, all other family and friends, will forever be changed by the loss of this special boy.

Momma’s nightly ritual text, “Good night, son. I love you,” will keep Chris’s memory alive and well in her heart and mind for the rest of her years on this earth without him, following this tremendous loss.

“We got you now, Christopher Lee.” Forever in our hearts. Your family and friends.

Visitation will be held on Tuesday, June 8 from 4 to 8 p.m. at Ryan Mortuary, with the family receiving friends at this time.

The funeral will be held at First Covenant Church, 2625 E. Magnolia Rd., on Wednesday, June 9 at 10:00 a.m., with burial following at All Saints Catholic Cemetery.

Donna LaVerne (Sims) Brown, 89, of Winfield, KS, died January 3, 2021. Donna was born on January 5, 1931 to Carrie Leona Anderson Sims and Ward Peter Sims in Minneola, Kansas. Donna was a “girly” girl who loved wearing pretty dresses, many made from flour sacks that were designed with flowers or cute patterns. She loved music which included playing the piano and then the trombone later on, spending time with her best friends Nannette Pitman and Betty Lou Sandidge, listening to her mother read stories in the evening, and teasing her older brothers. During Easter break of her sophomore year at Southwestern College, Donna married her sweetheart, Clinton Brown, whom she had met at the “Toot N’ Tell’m” drive-in at Dodge City in the summer of 1949. Clinton was a basketball star at Pittsburg State Teacher’s College and after their marriage they remained inseparable for the next 64 years until his death in 2015, except for the year he spent serving his country in the Koren War. After Clinton returned home, they moved to Iowa City, Iowa, before returning to Donna’s hometown where he began a career in education and they started a family. Over the next 35 years, they lived in Lincoln and McPherson as well as Minneola where Donna worked for Lincoln School and then accepted a job with People Bank &amp; Trust in McPherson, KS, where she worked until 2001 as Loan Officer and the Board Secretary while he continued teaching and coaching. Donna and Clinton were both active members of the First Christian Church in McPherson, teaching the Young Thinkers Sunday School class, serving as elders in the church, and working with the weekly church youth programs. Once they were both retired in 2001, they moved to Sublette to be near to three of their grandchildren and following them as they crossed the state with stops at Columbus, Yates Center, and Colby. In May, 2015, Donna and Clinton moved to Derby where he was admitted to Westview Senior Living Center and she rented an apartment at the Greens, right on the Derby Country Club golf course. When Clinton died on July 15, 2015, Donna continued living there until she moved in with her son Kevin, and daughter-in-law Pam, at Winfield in December of 2019. She enjoyed living in Winfield, but the effects of kidney failure and years of dialysis were hard on Donna and she passed peacefully in her sleep on Sunday morning January 3, 2021. The most important things in Donna’s life were her family, friends, and faith in God. She stayed active with women’s group through the Woodlawn Methodist Church in Derby, two book clubs as well as reading many other books, eating out with friends, spending time with her children and grandchildren, and promoting Camp Hope, the camp for kids with cancer that she started with the American Cancer Society in honor of her two children who died of cancer. “Ma Donna” was the director of Camp Hope for its first 18 years and has remained involved through the last 18 years as one of three members emeritus. Survivors include two children, Kevin Brown (Pam) of Winfield, KS; Lori Nelzen of Hesston, KS; grandchildren John Nelzen (Elizabeth) of Tallahassee, FL; Melissa Brown (Jenny Smith), Wichita, KS; Kyle Brown, Joplin, MO, Cameron Brown, Joplin, MO; great-grandchildren, Soren Nelzen Tallahassee, FL; Bridget Nelzen, Tallahassee, FL; step-children Blake Zimmerman (Samantha) Burlington, KS; Ryan Walt (Blaine) Collyer, KS; and Shay Howell (Cody) Manhattan, KS; step-grandchildren Brock Zimmerman, Avery Zimmerman, Jordi Walt, Bowen Walt, and Kace Howell; numerous special nieces and nephews; and, Deanna Hodges, Tony Nelzen, Donald Brown, and Stephan Lane.
