Stan Quinn, Bennington, 91, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, December 22, 2020 at the Ottawa County Health Center in Minneapolis.

Stan was born on May 20, 1929 in Altadena. CA to Clarence ‘C.B.’ and Theresa (Chapman) Quinn. The Quinn family first came to Kansas from Ireland in the late 1850s and has always ‘worked the land.’

Stan graduated from BHS in 1947 and was a partner in the family’s registered-Holstein dairy business and farming operation. He married Jacquetta Sue Wessel on August 18, 1951 at Ft. Lewis, Washington, shortly before spending two years in Germany, serving in the Army during the Korean War. Stan described his years in Europe as culturally enlightening and a spark from which he encouraged his children’s participation in the arts. Music was important to Stan. His strong bass voice blended well when he sang at school, church and with Salina barbershop singers. Stan loved to dance and particularly enjoyed big band and Southern Gospel music.

During his 41-year farming career, Stan delighted in caring for his cattle, which in later years included an outstanding cow-calf herd of registered Beefalo. Stan innovated and introduced to the area a wheat-rye-oat hybrid called triticale - a unique forage and seed crop. He was an active horse show and 4-H dad, and served on the national board of the American Beefalo World Registry. Stan loved his blue heeler dogs and all animals under his care.&nbsp;

Along with farming and raising his family, Stan sold fencing and cattle-feeding equipment to help other producers be more successful. Over the years, he and Sue enjoyed shopping for antiques and refinishing furniture.&nbsp;

Although not college-educated, Stan believed in life-long learning and mentored numerous young people to successful careers. Among his most rewarding hours were teaching son Jay, who was a quick learner, the ins and outs of farm-machinery maintenance and repair, or traveling with daughter Kay to compete in horse shows and rodeos.&nbsp;

Stan and Sue retired to his childhood farm in 1994. He gave his time and talents to help build and grow Bennington Bible Church, serving as deacon. Stan was never shy about sharing his faith and often talked about God and his healing power as he did everyday tasks alongside others. Stan’s civic involvements include helping establish BIG (Bennington Improvement Group) in 1995 and was a member of the Bennington Lions Club and VFW Post 3201.

Stan is survived by wife Sue, son Jay and daughter Kay; brother Bob (Karen) Quinn of Kiowa, CO; niece Brenda (Quinn) Fraser and family of Minneapolis, niece Jeannine (Bock) Green of Desert Hot Springs, CA and nephew Bobby Quinn and family of Fredericksburg, TX. Stan was preceded in death by his parents, his sister-in-law Joleen (Wessel) Bock and nephew Gary Bock.

Visitation without family present will be Sunday, December 27 from 2:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M. at Wilson Family Funeral Home, Minneapolis.&nbsp; Graveside services will be at 10:00 A.M., Monday at the Bennington Cemetery.&nbsp; Masks are required.&nbsp; Memorials are to the Bennington Bible Church or Bennington E.M.S. and may be mailed to Wilson Family Funeral Home, P.O. Box 166, Minneapolis, KS 67467.

&nbsp; Hillsboro - Wilmer Henry Thiessen, 89, passed away from this life on earth to his heavenly home on Saturday, December 19, 2020 in Wichita, Kansas. He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Hildegard, his children, Charlene (Fred DeLoera) Thiessen, Lynette (Dwight) Roth, Shaun (Karen) Thiessen, and Vonda (Duane) Kinser. His grandchildren, Aaron (Alena) Almendarez, Jessie (Adam) Hartke, Sandy (David Snyir) Almendarez, Alex Thiessen, Zac Thiessen, Andrew Kinser, and Daniel Kinser. His great-grandchildren, Henry Hartke, Asa Almendarez, Garrett Snyir and Leona Snyir. And his brother, Virgil (Nelda) Thiessen. Burial will take place on Tuesday, December 29, at 1:00 p.m. in the Gnadenau Cemetery outside of Hillsboro, Kansas. A Memorial Service will be planned for later in Spring of 2021. Memorials to Tabor College in care of Jost Funeral Home P.O. Box 266 Hillsboro, KS 67063. Online condolences at www.jostfuneralhome.com Life Sketch Taken from the Funeral Bulletin Wilmer Henry Thiessen, 89, passed away from this life on earth to his heavenly home on Saturday, December 19, 2020 in Wichita, Kansas. Wilmer was born on a cold, winter day, January 30, 1931 to Henry and Anna Thiessen outside of Henderson, Nebraska. He grew up on a farm in a family of seven children, Herbert, Linda, Berniece, Martha, Melvin, Wilmer and Virgil. He often shared vivid memories of the many adventures he had with his siblings, especially his brothers Melvin and Virgil. (It’s amazing that he made it to adulthood, hearing the stories he told.) It was a happy life and he was a happy boy. His life revolved around the family farm, his church, the Henderson Mennonite Brethren Church, and his school. He attended elementary school in the local country school near his home. His high school years were spent at the Henderson High School in town. He often told how his first mode of transportation to high school was his horse. He graduated in 1948. After high school he was able to begin his college studies at Tabor College in Hillsboro, Kansas. It was there that he met a young lady in the bookstore on the first day of classes. Her name was Hildegard Krieger. After several years, and other adventures in between, he married that young lady, Hildegard, on June 6, 1954 in the Bessie MB Church outside of her hometown of Cordell, Oklahoma. They began their married life in Denver, Colorado where Wilmer had served in 1W Service during the early 1950s. They, along with several other young couples, helped to start the Garden Park Mennonite Brethren Church in Denver. Many of those same couples joined together and built what became Deer Creek Christian Camp in the mountains outside of Bailey, CO. There Wilmer enjoyed many hours building and working alongside Christian friends. They lived a happy life in Denver and Littleton, Colorado (with short periods also living in Henderson, NE and Hillsboro, KS) for the next 20 years. During these years they added to their family. Charlene was born in 1955 during their time living in Henderson, NE. After moving the family back to Denver, Lynette joined the family in 1958, Shaun in 1961 and Vonda in 1965. In the early 1970s, Wilmer and Hildegard also helped to birth another church family, Bellview Acres Mennonite Brethren Church in Littleton, CO. After 20 years in the Denver and Littleton area, Wilmer was offered a job at the Mennonite Brethren Missions Office in Hillsboro, Kansas. They moved the family in June 1974. They spent the next 40some years working, worshiping and just enjoying the life God gave them in Hillsboro. In September of 2018, Wilmer and Hildegard made the decision to move to Wichita, Kansas to be closer to their children because of Hildegard’s diagnosis of dementia. They enjoyed two years in their new home at Kansas Masonic Home where Hildegard still resides. The last few years of Wilmer’s life were consumed with caring for his bride of 66 years. They had some difficult times, but they also enjoyed many happy days getting to know their neighbors and staff members at KMH. Wilmer is preceded in death by his parents, Henry and Anna, his brothers, Herbert and Melvin, his sisters, Linda, Berniece, and Martha. He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Hildegard, his children, Charlene (Fred DeLoera) Thiessen, Lynette (Dwight) Roth, Shaun (Karen) Thiessen, and Vonda (Duane) Kinser. His grandchildren, Aaron (Alena) Almendarez, Jessie (Adam) Hartke, Sandy (David Snyir) Almendarez, Alex Thiessen, Zac Thiessen, Andrew Kinser and Daniel Kinser. His great-grandchildren, Henry Hartke, Asa Almendarez, Garrett Snyir and Leona Snyir. And his brother, Virgil (Nelda) Thiessen. Burial will take place on Tuesday, December 29, in the Gnadenau Cemetery outside of Hillsboro, Kansas. A Memorial Service will be planned for later in Spring of 2021. Wilmer never knew a stranger and he accumulated friends wherever he went. So, the family would like to thank his many family and friends who enriched his life throughout the years. Especially his last two years at Kansas Masonic Home when he needed extra help in caring for Hildegard, thank you to the KMH staff.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Dr. Eugene C. “Bud” Jarus, 91, of Salina, passed away Tuesday, December 22, 2020. He was born January 16, 1929 at home in Wilson, KS, the only child of Emil C. and Mayme E. (Soukup) Jarus.

&nbsp; As a young boy he proudly earned the honor of becoming an Eagle Scout, an achievement he spoke about often throughout his life.

&nbsp; After graduation from Wilson High School with the classs of 1947, Bud attended the University of Kansas in Lawrence for two years, Conception Seminary College in Conception, MO, and Fort Hays State University, earning an AB in Economics.

&nbsp; Bud served three and a half years in the US Army, 51st ARMD ENGR BN, two of which were as Company Commander of Company B. He was a member of the Wilson American Legion Post 262, participating in Memorial Day services as Reader of the Roll Call.

&nbsp; Bud married Lucille Marie Ney on June 8, 1957, in Wilson. She preceded him in death, in April of 2017, just two month before their 60th anniversary.

&nbsp; Bud attended the University of Missouri Kansas City Dental School. Upon graduation, Bud and Lu settled in Ellsworth, where he practiced dentistry for 30 years until retirement in 1990. They were both active members of St. Bernard’s Catholic Church, where he was involved in the choir and Knights of Columbus for many years. They enjoyed Fine Arts, and serving in any capacity needed in local organizations.

&nbsp; Doc was an avid fisherman who spent many hours on area lakes and rivers with friends and family, boating, and displaying he and Lu’s endless spirit of hospitality. Both enjoyed traveling in the States and overseas. They spent countless hours invested in family activities. Everyone will miss his quick wit, sense of humor, appreciation of a good joke, laughter, the great parties, and his dedication to helping people through dentistry. He would tell us all to "KEEP SMILING.”

&nbsp; Doc is survived by his two daughters, Melanie Davis and Amy Stonebraker (Ken) both of Salina; six grandchildren, Angela Peterson of Smolan, Jordan Davis of Colorado Springs, CO, Jessica Olson (Josh) of Salina, Nicole Davis of Colorado Springs, Justin Stonebraker (Tierra Lundgren) of Salina, and Micaela Davis of Salina; nine great grandchildren and one great-great granddaughter.

Carrol M. Casey, better known as Cabe or Cabo, passed into the arms of His Savior on the morning of Dec. 19th 2020 at the age of 89.

&nbsp;&nbsp; Cabe lived a quiet and unassuming life marked by sacrifice, loyalty, humility, and an occasional flare of Irish temper. His happiest and most treasured moments were spent in the company of his wife Joyce. Together they marveled at the beauty of the natural world surrounding them on the farm where they spent 70 years of marriage and raised their five children (Terry Wiechman, Topeka, Barry Casey, Hannibal Mo., Diana Keezer, Downs, Tedd Casey, Wichita, and Todd Casey, Hutchinson). Over their 70 years together they welcomed&nbsp;nieces, nephews, in laws, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and many of their children's friends into their home.&nbsp; He said his happiest years were when his children were young.&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp; Cabe had a way with cats and among other things loved the Yankees, Gunsmoke, Sunny D, Pollyanna, fudge with popcorn, listening to his favorite song&nbsp;“Run for the Roses" and most of all hearing his children laugh.&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp; He will be sorely missed and fondly remembered by his wife Joyce and their large extended family. The family is honoring his wishes for a private graveside service.

“Till we meet again, Dad, thank you for&nbsp;everything. We love you now and will love you forever.”

Gene L. Herpich

&nbsp; Judy Kessinger Hilton of Abilene died December 15, 2020. She was born to Ed and Mona Kessinger July 13, 1942 in Wichita, KS. 

Judy married Ralph Hilton August 1, 1964. 

A celebration of her life will be announced and held at some point after the Covid pandemic has passed.

After graduation from Junction City High School in 1960, she earned her bachelor of science in speech pathology at Wichita University Institute of Logopedics in 1964 and her masters there in 1969. She worked as a speech pathologist at the Institute of Logopedics until she and family moved to Abilene in 1971, to purchase Abilene Printing Company. She then worked speech pathology for the Central Kansas Cooperative until her retirement.

Judy was an active member of the First United Methodist Church, serving on several church committees and as a member of the John Wesley Bell Choir and directed the children’s Ring Praise bell choir. 

She was a volunteer in reading programs in Dickinson County Schools. 

As a member of the End of the Trail Quilters Guild, she crafted Hospice Quilts for distribution to patients in hospice and was an avid reader, bridge and mahjong player.

Judy was a great woman of faith and she was indeed an incarnation of God’s love on earth. 

She participated on the 1963 March on Washington where Martin Luther King said, “I have a dream” and she walked the paths of Jesus in Israel and renewed her baptism in the Jordan River. 

Judy always acted out of kindness and love. Judy had an open heart. She would share how each person is not better or worse than another, but “different,” bringing strengths to nourish and weaknesses to overlook.

Her nature to always look at things in a positive light made her a beacon of joy and laughter. Judy taught her children, “Don’t be sad it’s over. Be glad it happened.” She was quick to laugh, including at herself, though she freely admitted she wasn’t a good teller of jokes. Her sense of humor was sharp and dry, perhaps understated yet ever-present.

Be glad it happened.” She was quick to laugh, including at herself, though she freely admitted she wasn’t a good teller of jokes. Her sense of humor was sharp and dry, perhaps understated yet ever-present. In college, Judy earned the nickname “Carrie” as in Carrie Nation. Judy was a supporter and enforcer of order and efficiency, both in the family and among friends. She loved children, Dairy Queen, the smells of chocolate and of roses, sailing with Ralph, and was an avid Kansas basketball fan. Judy’s mother was a newspaper columnist in Junction City and described her daughter upon high school graduation this way: “It would be difficult for us to tell you how much of a void her leaving left in our home. We lost more than a daughter, the family lost their second mother, and the office lost a real newspaper woman. Judy was a columnist, bookkeeper, cook, chauffeur, baby sitter, supervisor of the homework, disciplinarian of the young ones, but more than anything else, she is one of her parents’ best friends. We miss her.” Her brother, Jan, wrote on Facebook, “While I say that Judy probably was the nicest person I have known, she was tough. Judy understood that to learn to overcome frustration, a person must at times be frustrated. To learn to give their best effort, a person must be challenged. To learn to succeed, a person must learn to overcome failure. This approach is not an easy one, but the legacy of her efforts will be experienced for decades to come by each child who was blessed to have Judy work with them and for all who called her friend or family.” Judy’s passing leaves a void in Abilene and for all she touched in her outreach, teaching and the example she lived. Judy was a partner in nurturing and caring for her students and a professional who cared about each person as an individual, a person who put the needs of others ahead of her own. We lose a giver, a committed educator, a leader, a follower and supporter, a person whose pursuit of excellence raised standards for the community. Judy was predeceased by husband Ralph Hilton; parents Ed and Mona Kessinger and brother, Kurt Kessinger. She is survived by her children Sean Hilton (Kristine Meyer), Abilene; Robin (Stephanie Oura) Hilton, North Arlington, VA; and Shannon (David) Kelman, Westwood, KS; Grandchildren George and Clementine Hilton, Ashton Baker, Laila Kelman and great grandson James Hamilton; sisters Kristin Benjamin, Woodland Hills, CA: Lisa (Larry) Divel, Abilene; and brother Jan (Jeanne) Kessinger, Overland Park, and many nieces and nephews. Memorials may be made to the End of the Trail Quilters Guild and may be mailed to Martin Becker Carlson Funeral Home, 414 NW 3rd St., Abilene, Kansas 67410&nbsp;&nbsp;
