Thomas "Tom" G. Spiller May 15, 1959&nbsp;~&nbsp;May 12, 2024

Thomas “Tom” G. Spiller&nbsp;was born on May 15, 1959, to Conrow Spiller and Twilla May Spiller. He passed away on May 12, 2024, at his home near Assaria, Kansas.

Tom was preceded in death by his parents, Conrow Spiller and Twilla May Spiller and his sisters, Debra Irene Spiller and Kathleen Joyce Durr.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Karla J. Spiller; his eldest son, Klay Spiller, and his wife Sarah Spiller of Phoenix, Arizona; his youngest son, Klint Spiller, and his wife Chelsy Spiller of Assaria; and his four cherished grandchildren: Luke Spiller and Haley Spiller of Phoenix; and Lowell Spiller and Lyndon Spiller of Assaria.&nbsp; Tom is also survived by his brother, Steven Spiller, and his wife Jan Spiller of McPherson, Kansas.

Tom and Karla were united in marriage on May 26, 1984, in Assaria.&nbsp; Tom died just 14 days shy of Tom and Karla’s 40th year anniversary and 3 days shy of Tom’s 65th birthday. In their rural home outside of Assaria, Tom and Karla raised their two children and generated countless memories.

Tom graduated from McPherson High School, and he attended Lamar Community College on a scholarship for livestock judging.

Tom was fearless and adventurous in his own way.&nbsp; In his 20s, Tom was active in the rodeo circuit, riding bulls, wrestling steers, and roping, and for much of his life, he broke and trained horses as a side job, and he did this despite being bucked off and rolled on multiple occasions.&nbsp; Despite all of these near-death experiences, Tom always found a way to get back up and fight through it, which was the theme of his life.

In his professional life, Tom worked the majority of his life for Hedlund Electric Inc.&nbsp; Tom was a hard worker who loved his job, and he never had any plans to retire despite getting sick late in life.

Outside of work, Tom found joy in playing with his kids, his nieces and nephews, and, especially, his grandchildren.&nbsp; Tom also enjoyed watching KU basketball, the Dallas Cowboys, and bull riding and playing basketball.

Tom was known for his toughness, but he was also known for his kindness and generosity, always ready to offer a helping hand to his family, friends, and neighbors in times of need.

A funeral service to honor and remember Tom's life will be held on Saturday, May 25, 2024, at 11:00 AM at First Baptist Church, 843 Lewis Ave, Salina. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Rolling Hills Zoo and/or First Baptist Church.

Margaret Ann Breeden Presley January 28, 1947 ~ May 9, 2024

Margaret Ann Breeden Presley, 77, passed away on May 09, 2024 at Salina Regional Health Center in Salina, KS. Margaret was born on January 28, 1947 in Quinter, KS to the late Homer and Edith (Edgell) Breeden.

Margaret married John Presley on June 3, 1972 in Ottawa, Kansas. She began her career as a juvenile probation officer in Wyandotte County, Kansas in 1970. During that time, Margaret became a leading figure in the investigation of child abuse in the state of Kansas. As a member of the Kansas Committee for the Prevention of Child Abuse, she played an influential role in the establishment of the Child Abuse Reporting Act. She helped train the first protective service units in SRS, as well as training a variety of other professionals and in the region. Part of the work she did with Bob Nicholson of Salina on that committee resulted in the eventual formation of CAPS. She earned a Masters Degree in Social Work (MSW) in 1976. She worked in Child Psychiatry at KU Medical center and Wyandot Mental Health Center, developing innovative programs for working with parents caught in the abuse cycle. After then working in residential treatment, she became professor of Social Work at Bethany College from 1989 through 2011. She then taught at KSU Salina until her retirement in 2014.

Margaret’s faith drove her passion for compassion and justice, courageously advocating as a professional and individual for the LGBTQ and minority communities. That faith led her to a variety of religious settings, with her church membership currently with Trinity United Methodist Church in Salina. She lived according to her belief that our faith is illustrated by our actions.

Margaret’s greatest pleasure came from her many flower gardens which she avidly planted and maintained at all three homes in Lindsborg. Sharing the various perennials with anyone who asked gave her great joy as well.

Margaret is survived by her husband: John Presley; daughters: Cara Presley and Megan Wheeler (John) of Marion, KS; grandson Morgan Wheeler (Aubrey) and great grandson, Wyatt; siblings: Effie Smith; Paul Breeden (Cathy);

Mark Breeden (Kippy); Martie Salmans (Don); Mary Hester; and Don Kelley.
