Linda Sue Siebold, 68, passed Saturday, November 7, 2020 at Stormont Vail Hospital in Topeka, Ks, following a short battle with Covid-19. Linda was born on July 10, 1952, in a Clifton, KS doctor’s office, daughter of Ernest “Mike” Meitzen and Irene (Forkner) Hillman.&nbsp; She was the youngest of three siblings.

She grew up in the Clifton, KS area and later moved to Concordia, KS where she graduated high school in 1970. She went on to obtain her teaching degree from Fort Hays State University in 1975. She married Thomas “Tommy” Siebold on May 27, 1978. They made their home near Clifton, KS, where Linda was a 3rd grade teacher until moving to Clay Center in 1981. She was a part time substitute teacher, secretary, clerk, and finished her career at Kansas State University retiring in 2014. She has been a lifelong member of the Clay Center United Methodist Church where she enjoyed singing and playing her guitar in the praise band.

Linda was considered a mom to many kids growing up as the location of the family home became grand central station in her kids junior and senior high school days.&nbsp; Aside from her family, one of her most precious gifts came in March 2018 when she received a kidney transplant.&nbsp; The transplant greatly improved her quality of life over the last two years as she no longer had to have dialysis 3 times a week.&nbsp; Since her health had improved so much, her and her husband Tommy were able to travel around on bus tours seeing different places and going to many KC Royals games.

Linda loved following her granddaughter, Addy’s twirling competitions and her grandson Rylan’s ball games. No matter where she was, she was their #1 fan. On a calm day she would accompany her husband Tommy on fishing excursions so that they could spend time together. In the fall of 2018, she attended the American Christian Fiction Writers Conference in Nashville and achieved her dream of becoming a published author of the Contessa of Montaire series. She was working hard to finish book #6 in the series preparing for it’s debut in December 2020. She lived a life of love, always had a smile, and was a very proud grandma. She loved her kids dearly and would always go out of her way for her husband Tommy, kids, grandkids, and her kitty “Dingo”.&nbsp; One of her favorite quotes is “God is good ALL the time, and ALL the time, God is Good.”

Linda leaves her loved ones behind but they can be comforted by her faith in Jesus.&nbsp; She knew where she was going and was not afraid.

Son: Andrew Siebold and wife Mallory of Woodward, OK (Gabrielle, Erika, Shepherd, Selah &amp; Shiloh)

Daughter: Apryl Gurney and husband Steve of Clay Center, KS (Addyson &amp; Rylan)

Sister-in-laws: Trudy Law and husband Bevin of Longford, KS, Merna Siebold of Clay Center, KS

Memorials can be made to the Linda Siebold Memorial Fund c/o the funeral home

Clinton J. Burger

&nbsp; The Reverend Dr. Kenneth Bruce Shultz, 83, of Wichita, KS stepped peacefully into Heaven on Thursday, November 5, 2020. Ken was born in Wichita, KS, the youngest of 11 children. He married Doris Ann Klassen at the ripe old age of 19. Together, they were wholeheartedly focused on sharing the Gospel and serving Christ wherever He would lead them - from leading Young Life clubs, organizing and participating in prayer breakfasts, leading Bible studies, serving as house parents for missionary kids in Zaire (now Congo), pastoring churches, leading discipleship groups, and then, in “retirement”, starting a mission organization in Romania. He chose (2 Cor. 5:14) “the love of Christ compels us…” to represent the mission of International Christian Enterprise (I.C.E.) and there’s no doubt that it was the theme of his life. When Doris fell ill with Parkinson’s, he served and cared for her tenderly until she preceded him in death six years ago. He is remembered by his children, not only for his passion for Christ and love of others, but for his fun sense of humor, his love of telling stories, his theological and current event discussions, and for making and consuming the best fudge. He is survived by his four children, Rick (Darlene) Shultz, Candi (Charlie) Roberts, Perry (Cheryl) Shultz, and Gretchen (Brian) McRae, his 8 grandchildren, Sean McRae, Brandi Hernandez, Alyssa Mendoza, Brittany Garrett, Bethany Johnson, Angelene Shultz, Blaire Laumer, and Monica Beres (honorary Romanian granddaughter), and 9 great-grandchildren. His life will be celebrated on Saturday, November 14, at Parkview Mennonite Brethren Church, 610 S Main St, Hillsboro, KS, with a viewing at 10:00 a.m. and the funeral following at 11:00. The family requested that donations be made to I.C.E. in lieu of sending flowers. Donations can be sent through PayPal at: https://www.ice4missions.org/finance or checks can be sent to: ICE, 596 Monterey Dr., Keller, TX 76248.

Lonny Nichols died Thursday, November 5, 2020 at St Francis Hospital in Tulsa, OK due to COVID-19. He was born on November 12, 1941 in the family home in Clay County, KS. He was the second of three sons born to Lloyd and Edna (Bach) Nichols. He earned the nick name Toad as an infant and it stayed with him until death. &nbsp;

Toad attended rural schools in the Longford community and graduated from Longford High School in 1960. He married Carol Kinder (Kroshus) on February 19, 1971 at the Longford United Methodist Church and they made their home and raised their four children on a farm near Vine Creek, West of Longford. He was a mild mannered, soft spoken, kindhearted man with a twist of witty country humor.&nbsp; He was first a great dad dedicated to spending time with his children and family.&nbsp; He was also a farmer and rancher until 2014 when he and Carol retired and moved to Oologah, Oklahoma to be closer to family.

Toad grew up working on the Nichols farm with his parents and brothers and custom harvesting from Texas to Crosby, North Dakota where he met Carol, his wife of 48 years. During his childhood, the family added their first indoor bathroom and was one of the first homes in the area to receive rural electric service. He bought a Chevelle as a teenager and had a love of cars since then, going to car shows in California, Texas, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin while visiting his kids was a favorite pastime. He spent many hours washing and shining the wheels of his pickup once he moved to Oklahoma, where for the first time in his life he didn’t live on a gravel road. &nbsp;He served in the Clay Center National Guard and spent much of his life in a combine or on horseback, but his passion was spending time with his wife and kids. He enjoyed visiting about family history and could spend hours looking at his well-traveled, tattered, and torn road atlas, sharing photos of vacations, reminiscing and planning road trips.&nbsp; He enjoyed nature, wide open landscapes, hiking, white water rafting, fly fishing and exploring jeep trails on summer vacations to the mountains with his family. In his early years he was an avid, self-taught hunter and trapper and was able to fund his hobby with income from the sale of furs.

Toad spent most of his life within a short distance from the home he grew up in and was a servant son. He and his brothers spent their lives helping Lloyd and Edna with daily operations of farm life. Toad was readily available and took daily care of Lloyd after Edna passed.

He will be greatly missed every day until the family is together again.

Lonny was preceded in death by his parents and his brother Leo and wife Donna.&nbsp; He is survived by his wife Carol of the home, son Randy Kinder and wife Diana of Exeter, CA, his daughter, Melissa Stuczynski and husband Randy of Iola, WI, daughter Kimberly Hardin and husband Glenn of Oologah, OK and son Joshua Lonny Nichols and partner Aaron Plater of Monrovia, CA. He also leaves behind his younger brother, Loran James Nichols and wife Sharon of Longford. Grandchildren include Dane and Molly Kinder of Exeter, Megan and Ali Rass of Kaukauna, WI, Skee Hardin of Fort Worth, TX and Lily and Zeta Hardin of Oologah.&nbsp; Great grandchildren are Dylin, Bella and Aiden of Kaukauna and Emersyn and Hayzin Hardin of Fort Worth.

&nbsp; Joan Stroda, 95, died November 3, 2020 at Hillsboro, KS. A Celebration of Life and Rosary was held with her family November 7 at the St. Phillips Catholic Church and Pilgrim Home Cemetery officiated by Father Peter O’Donnell. She was born on August 1, 1925 in Leon Kansas to Perry and Fanny (Dixon) Strait. She married Max Stroda on December 27, 1945 at the St. Phillips Catholic Church in Hope. Survivors include son, Steve Stroda (Barbara) of rural Hope, daughters Linda Peters (Van) of rural Hillsboro, and Janet Barrett of rural Hope. She leaves behind eleven grandchildren, Pam Krause (Kris), Renae Riedy (Casey), Debi O’Bray (John), Dim Diekmann (Doug), Barry Little (Janelle), Colby Little (Christie), Ty Little (Elaine), Ryan Peters (Jamie), Stacey Peters, Travis Barrett (Barb), Justin Barrett (JaRae), 198 Great Grandchildren, and 6 Great-Great Grandchildren. Memorials can be made to St. Phillips Catholic Church at Hope, 712 N. Broadway, Herington KS 67449 or they can be mailed to Jost Funeral Home P.O. Box 266 Hillsboro, KS 67063. Online condolences at www.jostfuneralhome.com Life Sketch Taken from the Funeral Bulletin Joan Stroda was the daughter of Perry and Fanny (Dixon) Strait. She was born on a hot summer day of August 1, 1925 on a farm northeast of Leon, KS. She joined her twin brother Frank and sister Frances who were nine years older. Joan enjoyed this life as her Grandmother Dixon lived close by along with her mother's sisters (aunts) and brothers (uncles). She was surrounded by family. Joan's young life on the family farm changed quite dramatically in 1929 when at the age of four, her mother died suddenly as a result of complications from a surgical procedure. The family continued to stay together on the farm during the Great Depression (1929-39) and the Dust Bowl (1930-36). In 1933 her brother and sister would attend El Dorado Junior College and at the age of eight she joined them so she could go to school in El Dorado. Her father would remain working on the farm. The following year she moved to Hutchinson to live with her Aunt and Uncle John Coleman and cousin Jack. Once her sister Frances finished her education, Joan moved back to the farm. Frances had obtained her first teaching position close by and Joan was reunited with her family. She remained on the farm enjoying life in the country until once again she moved. This time, at the age of 14, she would join her sister, Frances, who had a teaching position in the Hope School District. During those three years she was at Hope, she met the love of her life, Max, whose parents farmed in that community. It wasn't in the cards for her to remain in Hope though as she then followed her sister who acquired a teaching position at Shawnee Mission. There she finished her high school years. She had enough credits after her Junior year that she found that she could enroll at Kansas State University and get back somewhat closer to Hope and to Max. She attended one year at K-State before Max and her decided they wanted to get married, but the economy was just recovering from the Great Depression, Dust Bowl and World War II and money was tight. There was no money for the frivolous—the money went for necessities. Joan decided to move back to Hope where she rented a room from a lady and worked at the Herington Air Base. There she obtained a clerk position that assisted the soldiers in obtaining everything in the way of clothing and supplies they might need before being shipped overseas. On December 27, 1945 she was joined in holy matrimony to Max Stroda in Hope Kansas at the St. Phillips Catholic Church. This union was blessed with the birth of four children, Steve, Sherry, Linda, and Janet. They purchased a farmstead together north of Hope which became their life long endeavor. Joan was a stay at home mom who enjoyed the agricultural aspects of raising crops and cattle along with raising her children. She involved herself in community clubs, church organizations and 4H activities. Joan was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and friend. She loved hearing about all the activities her family were involved in. She was also the family patriarch who helped with many decisions and had many helpful ideas in sometimes “tough” situations.Joan enjoyed the out-of-doors and providing for her family. Her gardens always provided for the family and much of the summer everyone spent many hours assisting with the canning and processing food for the winter. The cellar was always filled with canned vegetables, fruits and beef. The Sundays were spent going to church as a family and spending time together. Her later years were spent helping Max with the farming and ranching along with assisting the children and grandchildren in all their endeavors. She loved being with Max and doing things together whether it was checking pastures, planting crops or riding along to pay a bill, they were inseparable until his death. In 2014, Joan moved to Hillsboro assisted living at Parkside Homes where she continued to enjoy visits from her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Even though she never complained and was well cared for, she continued to miss their home on the farm. On Tuesday, November 3, 2020, Joan passed from this earth to be with her heavenly father, her lifetime partner Max, her family, and was reacquainted with her mother that was taken from her at a very young age. A private family burial, surrounded by her family that she loved so much and what kept her connected to see what each new day was to bring, was her request. Her final resting place will bring her back home to where she loved to be. The Pilgrim Cemetery is that place that overlooks all the dreams that Max and her started from scratch and to what they were so proud to have accomplished. She was preceded in death by her parents, Perry and Fanny Strait, her husband, Max, her brother Frank and sister Frances Brown, a daughter Sherry Little, a son-in-law Steve Barrett, and a great grandson Tate Riedy. She is survived by her son, Steve Stroda, wife Barbara of Hope, her daughters Linda Peters, husband Van of Hillsboro and Janet Barrett of Hope.

Online condolences at www.jostfuneralhome.com Life Sketch Taken from the Funeral Bulletin Joan Stroda was the daughter of Perry and Fanny (Dixon) Strait. She was born on a hot summer day of August 1, 1925 on a farm northeast of Leon, KS. She joined her twin brother Frank and sister Frances who were nine years older. Joan enjoyed this life as her Grandmother Dixon lived close by along with her mother's sisters (aunts) and brothers (uncles). She was surrounded by family. Joan's young life on the family farm changed quite dramatically in 1929 when at the age of four, her mother died suddenly as a result of complications from a surgical procedure. The family continued to stay together on the farm during the Great Depression (1929-39) and the Dust Bowl (1930-36). In 1933 her brother and sister would attend El Dorado Junior College and at the age of eight she joined them so she could go to school in El Dorado. Her father would remain working on the farm. The following year she moved to Hutchinson to live with her Aunt and Uncle John Coleman and cousin Jack. Once her sister Frances finished her education, Joan moved back to the farm. Frances had obtained her first teaching position close by and Joan was reunited with her family. She remained on the farm enjoying life in the country until once again she moved. This time, at the age of 14, she would join her sister, Frances, who had a teaching position in the Hope School District. During those three years she was at Hope, she met the love of her life, Max, whose parents farmed in that community. It wasn't in the cards for her to remain in Hope though as she then followed her sister who acquired a teaching position at Shawnee Mission. There she finished her high school years. She had enough credits after her Junior year that she found that she could enroll at Kansas State University and get back somewhat closer to Hope and to Max. She attended one year at K-State before Max and her decided they wanted to get married, but the economy was just recovering from the Great Depression, Dust Bowl and World War II and money was tight. There was no money for the frivolous—the money went for necessities. Joan decided to move back to Hope where she rented a room from a lady and worked at the Herington Air Base. There she obtained a clerk position that assisted the soldiers in obtaining everything in the way of clothing and supplies they might need before being shipped overseas. On December 27, 1945 she was joined in holy matrimony to Max Stroda in Hope Kansas at the St. Phillips Catholic Church. This union was blessed with the birth of four children, Steve, Sherry, Linda, and Janet. They purchased a farmstead together north of Hope which became their life long endeavor.

Mary Frances “Frankie” Mesecher, 84, Minneapolis, died Tuesday, November 3, 2020 with her family at her side.&nbsp; Born at the Harrington family residence on Delia St. in Minneapolis to Timothy Frances and Mary Josephine Lynch Harrington, she was given the nickname "Frankie" which stayed with her for life.

The last of six children, Frankie was born when her mother was 42 years of age, she was her parents’ and her siblings’ "doll baby". Third generation American born of Irish immigrants from County Cork, Ireland, Frankie was extremely proud of her Irish heritage. The years spent in the Harrington home were filled with a steady stream of family, friends, priests, and nuns.

At the age of eighteen she met the man she would marry while cruising Santa Fe in Salina, Kansas with friends. Finding the Air Force soldier stationed at Smoky Hill Airbase extremely handsome, and overtly arrogant. Don Mesecher, who upon his proposal of marriage, was surprised when Frankie initially turned him down due to his not being Catholic. Frankie’s unceasing joy was the growing family she and Don raised. The parents of eight children, it was said you could tell when Frankie was expecting due to Don adding another addition onto the family home. The full embodiment of a true Irish Catholic woman, strong, loyal, faithful, and eternally witty.

She possessed a uniqueness within her that people were drawn to. Quick with a new (and at times inappropriate) joke, Frankie loved telling a good story, and was known to host a great happy hour if one happened to stop by at the right time.

Frankie became lifelong friends with nearly everyone she met, and truly didn't know a stranger, always had an extra potato in the pot for whomever was at her the door. A businesswoman with her sisters Gen and Addie, and her husband Don, they successfully operated three different restaurants in Minneapolis. From the Shamrock to the Cozy Cafe, and finally People's Cafe, customers gathered for their home-made fare, and possibly the antics that ensued at each establishment, especially on Saint Patrick's Day.&nbsp; Frankie and her family put on quite a celebration for St. Pat! She would be dressed from head to toe, proudly wearing the green...if she couldn't find green shoes, green house paint was applied!&nbsp; Irish music filled the air, as an Irish jig was performed by Rita Foster, "Danny Boy" sung by Dave Corman, and " My Wild Irish Rose" by Denny Foerschler, the townsfolk and the a few times even the Bishop of the Salina Diocese were treated with good ole Irish fare.&nbsp; Her contagious enthusiasm for her heritage makes one wonder what conversation ensued between Saint Patrick and Frankie upon their meeting. From her and Don's impromptu dances in their kitchen, to her marching down main street during a homecoming parade recognizing past MHS cheerleaders, everything she did was done with great happiness, and sometimes hilarious results. During that particular parade, Frankie's exuberant hello to parade onlookers caused her top denture to fly out of her mouth and onto the street. Her "marching" turned into more of a cadence of step and kick as she pushed her teeth down the street, determined not to cause a scene.

Frankie's life was filled with many "you won't believe this" moments and some truly side-splitting stories. As the matriarch of the family, Frankie's compassion and enthusiasm for life will forever be engraved in the hearts and souls of her family and friends.

She joins her loving husband, Don; her infant babies; son Mark; daughter Jo; and all her departed family and friends in heaven.

Those who await a joyful reunion with her and our Savior are her children, Michael, Shell, and Mitch; her grandsons, Mark, Daniel, Corey, Zach, and Josh; granddaughters, Dawn, and Kelsey; great-grandsons, Xander, Jhett, and Connor; great-granddaughters, Jordan, Emma, and Aubrey; daughter-in-law, Shannon Platt; sister-in-law, Beverly Mesecher Stoke; numerous nieces and nephews; and a community of wonderful and lifelong friends.

Many years ago, Frankie shared with her family that you go through Ireland on your way to heaven.

At 5:30 on Nov. 3rd, Frankie was passing Dublin on her way to her Heavenly Father.

“May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you. Saint Patrick behold you." "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; Love leaves a memory no one can steal."

Visitation will begin at 2:00 P.M. Friday at Wilson Family Funeral Home, Minneapolis, where a prayer vigil and rosary will be at 7:00 P.M.&nbsp; Mass of Christian Burial will be at 1:00 P.M., Saturday, November 7 at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church.&nbsp; Burial will follow in Highland Cemetery, Minneapolis.&nbsp; In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Jo Nana Lunches or the Sisters of St. Joseph and may be left in care of Wilson Family Funeral Home, P.O. Box 166, Minneapolis, KS 67467.
