Lisa’s passion in life was cooking; regardless if it was for a large crowd or just her family.&nbsp; She also loved teaching her children how to cook and sharing her special “tips and tricks”, making something amazing out of nothing.&nbsp; &nbsp;If she heard someone say they were hungry, she’d be up cooking “whatever they wanted”.

Lisa loved people and made many friends in her life with her compassion and sense of humor.&nbsp; If there was something you needed or a shoulder to cry on, she was there.&nbsp; She will be missed by many.&nbsp;

Lisa leaves behind her children and grandchildren, Amber and Chris Brown, Trevor, Keegan, Alexia and Jayden; Taylor, Charlee and Bo Kraus, Lance, Jackson, Hayden and Afton Phillips and a multitude of friends and family.&nbsp;

&nbsp; Joe Blackman passed away July 9, 2020. We are pretty sure he is now riding his Harley Davidson of his Bi Ole White Mule, Crystal, the two things he missed doing during his illness. He was born in Pennsylvania and later moved to Arizona where he was the sole miner at the world’s richest amethyst mine in the four peaks wilderness. After digging for the stone, he backpacked it down the mountain seven miles on his back. He hitchhiked all over the United States making more friends and having more adventures. He rode to Sturgis on his own when he was seventy one years old. He was seventy six when he left us for another adventure. He was a fine man and a great character, and he will be greatly missed. He was a strong man and endured two heart breaks of his life – the death of his beloved son Little Joe, and his sister Susan. He leaves behind a loving family, wife Nicci of almost forty seven years, a son France (Tia), a daughter Brooke, two granddaughters, brother Greg (Sandy), sister Wendy (Jim) along with nieces and nephews. Ride Safe Joe. Services for Joe will be at a later date. Memorial contributions may be made to the Joseph C. Blackman Memorial Fund and may be sent in care of the Martin-Becker-Carlson Funeral Home, 414 NW 3rd, Abilene, Kansas 67410.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Wallace W. "Rocky" Welton, of Abilene, KS, passed away on July 4th, 2020 at the age of 83. He was born June 27, 1937 in North Little Rock, Arkansas to Harold Welton and Geraldine (Sweeten) Walls.

Rocky attended schools in Fort Smith, Arkansas and Salina, Kansas. He graduated in 1955 from Salina High School. Rocky graduated from Kansas Wesleyan University in 1959 with a degree in History and Physical Education. He was a multiple All KCAC football award winner and a member of the KWU Athletic Hall of Fame.

He married Phyllis Duff on August 22, 1959 in Salina, KS. They began their married life in Liberal, KS where he was tossed in as a last minute replacement as head wrestling coach. He began his love affair with the sport.

Rocky continued his coaching career in Oakley, KS, Clay Center, KS, Goodland, KS and Garden City, KS. While coaching in Goodland he led his teams to three state team titles and Kansas' first four time individual state champion. His tenure in Garden City resulted in six team championships and many individual placers.

Rocky had a duel record of 268-91-12, 30 individual state champions and 166 overall state placers. He would comment, his greatest accomplishment as a coach was having former wrestlers become coaches and, more importantly, good men.

He was founding member of the Kansas Wrestling Coaches Association. Following his retirement he was inducted into the KWCA Hall of Fame, National Wrestling Coaches Hall of Fame, the KSHSAA Hall of Fame and recently the Garden City High School Athletic Hall of Fame. Garden City High School also honored Rocky by naming their annual wrestling tournament the Rocky Welton Invitational.

He is preceded in death by his father, mother, step-father Edwin Walls, sister Judy McMahon and brothers-in-law Sammy and Gary Duff.

He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Phyllis and daughters Shawn (Rob) Lowe, Nancy Kelly (Richard Perkins), Meriam (Tate) Thompson and Heather (Kevin) Unruh, grandchildren Kolby and Jana Kelly, Kane Kelly, Keil Kelly, Malorie Unruh, Audrey Unruh, Miller Unruh, Hogan Thompson, Jadyn Thompson, Tiger Thompson, Kimberly Thompson, Keâ€™Rel Thompson, Keishaune Thompson, Kemarla Thompson, Lily Lowe and many sons.

Celebration of life service will be announced at a later date. Memorials may be sent to Dickinson County Hospice or the Alzheimer's Association.
