&nbsp; Phyliis (Kugler) McCosh was born 100 years ago, on September 14th, 1920, and died Saturday,&nbsp;October 24th in the Lakeview Village Rehabilitation Center in Lenexa, Kansas. Her good long&nbsp;life began as a child of John Musselman Kugler and Bertha Burkholder Kugler of rural Abilene. Some of her best childhood memories were fixing a snack when coming home from school and&nbsp;going to the barn while her Mother milked the cows. She talked of the many scrumptious&nbsp;meals her Mother would fix for large family holiday dinners, a tradition she continued. She also&nbsp;spoke fondly of practicing the piano as a child and especially loved playing hymns.

Phyllis&nbsp;attended East Buckeye grade school, Abilene High School and graduated from Bethany&nbsp;College in Lindsborg in 1941 with a degree in music education.

In 1937, she and another young man from the community, LeRoy McCosh, were two of three&nbsp;selected to attend the National 4-H Club Congress in Chicago. A relationship began that led to&nbsp;their marriage in 1943, with a wedding at her parents home at the Kugler farm. 

They were&nbsp;married 58 years and had six children: Ron McCosh (Cindy) of Beverly, KS, Patricia King (Gary)&nbsp;of Winfield,KS, Gordon McCosh (Sherryl), of Rockwall, TX, Nancy Wassenberg (Roger) of&nbsp;Shawnee, KS, Dennis McCosh of rural Abilene, and Cathy Matlack (Terry) of Shawnee, KS.&nbsp;Phyllis had 16 grandchildren, 41 great grandchildren and 2 great-great granddaughters. 

Phyllis&nbsp;was preceded in death by her husband LeRoy in 2002, her parents, her three siblings, Harold&nbsp;Kugler, Marie Wick and Laberta Simmons, a daughter-in-law, Lynn McCosh and a grandson,&nbsp;Joe McCosh.

Both LeRoy and Phyllis had many accomplishments, honors and awards through out their&nbsp;lives. Highlights were the Dickinson County Extension Council Appreciation award and they&nbsp;were also honored as members of the Master Farmer and Master Farm Homemaker award in&nbsp;1993, giving public recognition for excellence in farming, homemaking and rural citizenship.

Phyllis was honored with the Master Teacher award from the Chapman School District in 1977.

Music and the piano was Phyllis’ passion. She began giving piano lessons at the age of 16&nbsp;and continued until 80 years of age. She taught elementary music in the Chapman School&nbsp;District at Blue Ridge, Talmage and Upland schools from 1956 - 1988. She inspired many “next&nbsp;generation” music teachers who she continued to mentor and stay in touch with over the&nbsp;years. She loved hearing her grandchildren and great grand-children play the piano or their instruments and many mini concerts were given her while she listened with a broad smile.

Phyllis had a strong unshakable faith. She served her community of faith at the Buckeye&nbsp;Church of the Brethren by serving as pianist and organist for 48 years. She had youth choirs,&nbsp;did summer bible school and encouraged and accompanied many of her students who were&nbsp;ready to share their musical talents with the church community. 

She was known for her baking&nbsp;and her cinnamon twists were always one of the first things people would seek out at many church potlucks.

Services will be Saturday, October 31st, 11am, at Danner Funeral Home, 501 N. Buckeye St.,&nbsp;Abilene, KS. Due to the pandemic, attendees are encouraged to wear masks. Burial will follow&nbsp;the service at 12:15pm at the Union-Livingston Cemetery on Indy Road, south of Highway 18,&nbsp;north of Abilene.

&nbsp; After a long and well-lived life, Charlene (Dreiling) Herman was called home to be with her Lord on Wednesday, October 21, 2020. Charlene was a vibrant wife, mom, grandmother, sister &amp; friend until dementia overtook her days. Born in Ellis KS on April 14, 1933 to Ray &amp; Marcella Dreiling, she was one of 5 other siblings. They lived in Ellis until 1943 at which time they moved to Chapman KS which is where she and her siblings attended school. Charlene was married to George Herman in September 1954, they were parents to 5 children and moved to Denver, CO in 1956 for 20 years, moving back to Chapman KS in 1976. They bought a few acres &amp; built their home there to be closer to family. Upon her return to Chapman, Charlene renovated the old bank building into “Char’s Salon” where she did hair as a beautician for a number of years. There were few family gatherings where she wasn’t called upon to get her scissors &amp; clippers out to do trims for nieces, nephews, siblings, etc. Charlene was a servant to her community whenever the need arose. She helped clean the church parish (St. Michaels) and frequently prepared food for the many dinners the church had. But it didn’t stop there - friends, family, shut-ins ... whenever a cheerful visitor was needed Charlene could be counted on. Her kindness &amp; great sense of humor attracted many friends - she was by all accounts well loved by her community. Charlene is survived by her husband of 66 years, George Herman, their children Sherry Hooper, Abilene KS; Jerry (Lauren) Herman, Thornton CO; Patty (David) Canfield, Abilene KS; &amp; Mary Beth (Kevin) Buchanan, Bartlesville OK. She is also survived by her grandchildren Sarah Canfield, Kellen Canfield, Trenton Canfield, Jeremy Collins, Cristian Whitney, Austin Heidenreich, Brittany Da Via, Kelsey Straub, &amp; (little) Theresa Foster as well as many grandchildren &amp; others who loved her. She was preceded in death by her daughter Theresa Herman Foster; her parents Ray &amp; Marcella Dreiling, and her siblings Norman Dreiling Salina KS, Marvin Dreiling Chapman KS, Mary Jean Hooper Dallas TX, Patsy Schad Junction City KS, &amp; Lorraine Leach Overland Park KS. Visitation will be held at Londeen’s Funeral Home in Chapman KS on Friday, October 23 from 6:00 - 7:30 pm.
