Marti Jo (Valek) Wilber met her Heavenly Father on September 2, 2020, at the age of 47 years, 11 months, 18 days.&nbsp; She was born September 15, 1972, to Eddie and Marcella (Bouley) Valek.&nbsp;&nbsp; She grew up near Wayne, KS, the youngest of 7 kids (one, Jerry, died at birth).&nbsp; She enjoyed everything about her childhood, working hard alongside her siblings &amp; parents, fishing, hunting, caring for all the critters, cattle shows, harvest, putting bales in the barn by hand (except when Bill chased me with a snake in the hayloft – Bad, Bad Bill!), watching the sunrise and the sunset.&nbsp; She loved the family God put her in with all her heart.

She graduated from Hillcrest in 1991, Cloud County in 1993 (where she participated in Basketball and Track), and also attended K-State for a year (where she worked at Nelson’s Hatchery where she vaccinated thousands of baby chicks daily).&nbsp; In May 1995, she started working at Hillcrest and continued to work for the school system even after consolidation occurred.&nbsp; She continued to work for USD 109 until fighting cancer became her full time job.

Marti married Dan Wilber in September 1995.&nbsp; His playful spirit, ability to fix whatever she broke, and God’s blessing was the glue that bonded them in marriage.&nbsp; They had two children, Cameron and Tobi.&nbsp; It was at this point that Marti relinquished her place on the tractor seat and began grooming her mothering abilities.&nbsp; I have to admit, I never saw myself being a mother, but oh how God blessed me with two bundles of joy!

She still loved the outdoors, and the kids would always be found alongside her in whatever outside activity was happening.&nbsp; When the kids were in trouble, they didn’t have a naughty chair – they would have to do laps around the house.&nbsp; So, yes, you can thank me for being such good runners in H.S. and college.

As the kids grew older, the activities multiplied.&nbsp; If they participated in it, she made a point to attend every activity she could!&nbsp; Of course she missed some due to cancer &amp; West Nile meningitis, but neighbors and friends would always send pictures and videos so she could feel a part of the event.

God, kids, family, cattle, dogs and goats were her passion.&nbsp; She was sprinkled as a child, but baptized by submersion when she was 31.&nbsp; She was an active member of the Central Christian Church, Merry Meadowlarks 4-H Club, and the Kansas Hereford family.

She held such jobs as vaccinating chickens at Nelson Hatchery, scale operator at Cloud County Co-Op, tax prep for FMSI, Hillcrest USD 455 secretary/para/bus driver, and Republic County USD 109 secretary/para/bus driver.&nbsp; Her love for children never ceased.

Marti is preceded in death by her parents, Eddie and Marcella, brothers Jerry and Randy Valek, nephew Jacob Valek, and brother-in-law, James Wilber.

She will be forever remembered by her husband Dan, son Cameron, and daughter Tobi of Belleville. Marti is also survived by her sisters Janis Krob (John) of Cuba, and Nancy Erickson (Glenn) of Maysville, MO; brothers Mick Valek (Donna) of Wayne, and Bill Valek (Resi) of Wayne; sister-in-laws, Becky Lewis (Craig) of Wichita, Charlotte Sullivan (Blake) of Wichita, Susan Thomas (Zach) of Lawrence, KS; her father and mother in law, Charles and Ruth Wilber of Belleville, numerous nieces and nephews, and a host of friends.

Visitation will be held on Friday, September 4, 2020, from 9:00 am – 9:00 pm, at Tibbetts-Fischer Funeral Home in Belleville, where the family will greet friends from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm.

Funeral Services will be held on Saturday, September 5, 2020, at 10:00 a.m., at the Central Christian Church in Belleville, with Pastor Jacob Rice and Pastor Mark Imel officiating. Burial will follow at Rose Hill Cemetery, rural Wayne.

Memorials are requested to the Family’s Choice to be designated at a later date, and may be sent in care of the funeral home.

D. Gene Hill

October 12, 1931~September 2, 2020(age 88)

Born October 12, 1931. She left this world peacefully after a long illness on September 2, 2020. Liz and her brother grew up on the family farm in Herrington, Kansas.  Her parents, Louis and Winona Cowman were lifelong residents there.  It was during that time that Liz developed her love of animals, large and small. 

 She had a great love of rodeos and for many years attended the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas with friends from high school and college. 

A great student, she attended Kansas State University and graduated in 1953 with a degree in computer programming. 

 She started her first and ONLY job at Boeing in 1953 until her retirement.  During her time at Boeing, she mentored many young men and women who would later become part of the executive leadership team at Boeing.  In a world where company loyalty is harder to find, she was a successful and proud member of her team until her retirement. 

One of Liz’ great passions were photography.  She also loved gardens and flowers.  For years, her service as a volunteer at Botanica served as her photographic muse and most of Liz’ friends have collections of her beautiful photography on their walls. 

Liz had a particular love of dogs.  Throughout her early life, she bred exhibited Shetland Sheepdogs in Obedience Trials across the Midwest.  She was very successful.  But it was her last Sheltie, Jiggs, that capped off Liz’ years showing dogs.  Jiggs was her most winning dog and finished ‘Best in Trial’ on numerous occasions.  When Jiggs was older and retired from the ring, Liz began her service to the dog fancier community by volunteering her time and knowledge to both the Wichita Dog Training Club and the Wichita Kennel Club. In the late 70’s she became interested in Miniature Poodles, partnering with her longtime friend, Pat Deshler to increase her involvement.  She not only showed Poodles in Obedience, but also became a partner in the breeding and exhibiting of the Deshler line of Miniature Poodles.  She quite enjoyed the experience and it proved to be quite successful—they bred the winning Best of Show at the 1986 Poodle Club of America National Specialty.  She loved those dogs and continued to have miniature poodles as companions until her death. 

In 2005, Liz undertook another volunteer project, helping Beth and Jay Tully launch Cocoa Dolce Chocolates.  In her position of cheerleader, grocery runner and chief taster, she impacted the entire staff with her dry wit, funny expressions and all-around good nature.  When she could no longer physically manage day-to-day activities, she continued to support the growth of Beth’s business until Beth lost the business in 2016. 

Liz is survived by her nephews, Jim Cowman of Kingman, Arizona and Gary Cowman of Griffith, Indiana, as well as hordes of friends from every walk of life.  

For all of those who knew Liz, you know she did not want to be fussed about or over. 

 She chose to forego a funeral and will be buried next to her parents in the Lost Springs Cemetery in Lost Springs, Kansas at a later date.  For anyone that would like to honor Liz and her life, a memorial has been established with the Poodle Club of America Foundation (www.poodleclubofamericafoundation.org) where Liz was a founding member, as well as the Kansas Humane Society (www.kshumane.org). Yazel – Megli Funeral Home, Herington is serving the family. Please sign her online guestbook and leave a memory of Liz at www.ymzfh.com.

Juanita Tousignant passed from this life on Sunday, Aug. 30, 2020, at The Legacy of Herington.

A visitation will be held from 4 until 8 p.m. Friday at the Herington Chapel of the Yazel-Megli-Zeiner Funeral Home. A prayer service will be held at 7:30 p.m.

Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Herington. Interment will follow at Sunset Hill Cemetery. The Rev. Alan Stahlecker will lead the services.

The family has requested memorials to Our Redeemer Lutheran Church, the Dickinson County 4-H Foundation or Hospice of Dickinson County.

Mourning Juanita are her daughter, Susan, and favorite son-in-law, Ray, of rural Herington; grandsons, Kristopher (Hailey) Mueller of Independence, Kan.; Jacob (Katie) Mueller of Springfield, Tenn.; and a host of nieces and nephews, other relatives and friends.

Juanita Sophia Gehrke was born on a farm near Ramona, Kan., on July 10, 1930. She was the youngest child of Carl and Sophia (Bruckner) Gehrke. She had seven older brothers: Arthur, Paul, Edwin, Leland, Oscar, Harvey and Lowell. All of them proceeded her in death. A daughter, Barbara Coleen Tousignant, passed away in 1966.

Juanita was baptized into the Christian faith as an infant at the former St. Paul Lutheran Church of rural Ramona. She was confirmed into the Lutheran faith and remained faithful to Christ throughout her life.

She was a 1948 graduate of Herington High School and she enjoyed the reunions with her classmates.

She was married to Robert J. Tousignant on July 13, 1951, at the Morris County Courthouse in Council Grove, Kan., during the Great Flood of ’51. They lived in several locations during his U.S. Army career but settled in Herington where they remained for the rest of their lives. They celebrated 51 years of marriage before his passing in October 2002.

Prior to her marriage, Juanita worked at a hardware store in Emporia. While working at Duckwall’s variety store in Herington, her favorite job was wrapping gifts. She always made every gift look special. Juanita also enjoyed working at Stiles Thriftway grocery store as a checker, where she greeted everyone with a smile and always memorized the weekly ad prices to give the best service to customers.

Juanita loved living in the country, happily mowing a huge lawn, tending to flowers and a plentiful garden. She helped care for many animals on the farm, passing that love of animals to her daughter. Among her hobbies were crafting and sewing, making doll clothes, quilts and several prom dresses. Every birthday was a reason for her to make a specially decorated cake. She had a “can do” attitude, even reroofing the barn after storm damage.&nbsp;

She was a 4-H project leader for many years, served as an officer in the Lyon Extension Homemakers Unit and supported her church, Our Redeemer Lutheran.

After the sale of the farm, the Tousignant couple lived on East Trapp Street in Herington, where they enjoyed having close neighbors. Due to health concerns, the couple moved to the Hilltop Apartments, enjoying daily meals and social life.

Following the death of her husband, Juanita continued to live at the Hilltop. She entered Herington’s assisted living unit in 2006. While a resident there, and later in the nursing home, she always enjoyed church services, bingo, card games, crafts and musical visitors.

Juanita was known as a sweet and loving lady, always willing to help out and care for others. She will be missed and mourned by many. But there also is rejoicing that she is now with God in heaven.

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” Matthew 5:8

Matt Picolet, a man who loved his family and friends and valued hard work, went to be with the Lord Friday night, surrounded by people he loved. Matt was born in Council Grove to Jon and Cheryl (Wright) Picolet on January 10, 1982. He grew up on the family farm near Kelso, KS caring for livestock and putting up hay. He participated in 4-H, cross country, and wrestling. He attended Pratt County Community College where he learned to be a machinist, a trade he practiced for 17 years. Matt was a lifelong firearms enthusiast, hunting deer and birds, as well as competing in rifle shooting matches. Matt pursued his love for all things fast in many ways. He advised many racers, both at the dirt track and the drag strip, and owned a few fast cars himself. He also thoroughly enjoyed building and riding 4 wheelers and going to the sand dunes to camp and ride. It wasn’t a successful trip unless there was at least one “unplanned dismount”. He married his wife, Jessica (Van Meter) on October 15, 2011. They have two daughters, Kaylee Lynn and Johnna Mae, whom Matt loved very much. After the girls were born, Matt’s interest moved more towards building his custom hay and pasture clearing business. The girls loved getting to ride along in the swather, push the buttons to run the bale bed, and ride along to check cattle. Matt loved to take them along.&nbsp;

Matt was diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma in October of 2018. He continued to work and build his business throughout treatment, often receiving chemo treatments in the morning and putting up hay that same afternoon.

Matt was preceded in death by his father, Jon, of Santa Fe, NM, and paternal grandparents, Jim and Ada Picolet of Council Grove, KS.

Matt is survived by his wife and daughters; his mother, Cheryl Picolet of Santa Fe, NM; sister Erin Picolet of Yuma, AZ; brother Mike Picolet of Denton, TX; maternal grandparents Don and Betsy Wright of Overland Park, KS and Velma and Bill Dickson of Topeka, KS; father and mother-in-law Russ and Jana Van Meter of Ada, KS; as well as innumerable other family and close friends.

Memorial services will be at 10:00 A.M., Friday, September 4, 2020 at the Antioch Baptist Church, Ada.&nbsp; Masks are encouraged but not required.&nbsp; The family kindly requests no flowers and ask that memorials be made to the Matt Picolet Memorial Fund which will be used as a college education fund for his girls.&nbsp; Memorials may be mailed to Wilson Family Funeral Home, P.O. Box 166, Minneapolis, KS 67467.
