Alexander Palm Wyatt, 34, died on June 22, 2023, at his residence in Hollywood, California, where he was an active music blogger pursuing a career as a metal rock drummer.

He was born November 6, 1988, in Tacoma, Washington, and after spending his first years in Wilbraham, Massachusetts, his family moved to Salina, Kansas, in 1999, where he graduated from Central High School in 2007 and then from Kansas Wesleyan University with a B.A. in Theatre in 2012. &nbsp;During his High School and College days, he enjoyed many aspects of performing, playing trumpet in the Orchestra and Band, singing in the Choir and choral groups and acting in plays and musicals. &nbsp;Following graduation from KWU, he attended the Summer Arts Program in Monterey, California, and as a result, he decided to move to Hollywood and pursue a career in music performance.&nbsp;

Starting at an early age Alex developed a deep love of music. In grade school, he could identify almost any classical composer just by hearing a few seconds of a song. Over the years his tastes evolved and through the influence of his sister he learned about, and fell in love with, heavy metal. This love of music influenced trips all over the United States with his Father to attend countless rock concerts. Most recently, Alex and his Father attended the Motley Crue, Poison and Def Leppard Concert in August of 2022 at the new SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.

He loved family vacations traveling around the United States and abroad, especially to the family cottage in Canada.&nbsp; Those vacations generated lots of family lore about the ability of Alex and his sister to simulate a tornado passing through any room they shared.&nbsp; Alex enjoyed staying current on local and world events.&nbsp; He and his Mother spent many hours going over world affairs and academic subjects, especially math at which he became quite proficient.&nbsp; Finally, he loved to cook, especially on the outdoor grill at his residence overlooking Sunset and Vine in Hollywood while entertaining his friends.

Alex is survived by his parents, Margaret and Bruce Wyatt of Salina; his sister, Jessica and niece Mary Margaret of Baltimore, Maryland; as well as by numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.

A memorial service will be at 3 p.m., Saturday, September 23, 2023, at First Presbyterian Church,&nbsp;308 S 8th St, Salina, KS. A private interment was held at Gypsum Hill Cemetery, Salina.

Alex was very interested in the environment and farming.&nbsp; Memorial donations may be made to the Land Institute in Salina, Kansas, care of Ryan Mortuary, 137 N 8th St, Salina, KS 67401.

Darrell Dean Malpert, 89, of Lindsborg, KS, passed away peacefully on Saturday, July 29th at Lindsborg Community Hospital in Lindsborg, KS. Darrell was born March 21, 1934, at Nora, NE, the middle child of three sons born to John and Karen (Bach) Malpert. He was baptized April 22, 1934, at Salem Lutheran Church-Superior, NE, by Pastor C. Bunge.

Before the age of one, the family moved to Cadams, NE. Darrell began his education at Cadams until the family moved to Deshler, NE in 1942. On May 16, 1948, he was confirmed in the Lutheran faith at Peace Lutheran Church in Deshler by the Reverend R.H. Riensche. Darrell graduated from Deshler High School in 1951. He went on and attended the University of Nebraska, Lincoln graduating with his Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy in June 1956. In the summers of his college years, Darrell worked in his uncle’s drug store where he learned the business side of pharmacy having the dream of owning his own store someday.

In September, after his college graduation, Darrell entered the armed services where he served at Dugway, Utah, as a laboratory technician and in Newfoundland, assigned to the Strategic Air Command hospital providing shot clinics and other medical services for the military personnel and their dependents. While in Newfoundland, his superiors noticed that Darrell was especially good with young children, therefore, any vaccinations for children were sent to him. He was honorably discharged in September 1958.

On February 14, 1959, Darrell was united in marriage to Janet Werner at Peace Lutheran Church, Deshler NE, by Pastor Erwin Janssen. To this union, three daughters were born, Dawn, Avona and Meredith. The couple made their first home in Hebron, NE, where Darrell was a pharmacist at Christensen Drug. They later moved to Clarinda, IA, where he was a pharmacist for Hawley Drug for eight years. In 1969, Darrell fulfilled his dream and purchased Higdon Drug Store in Goodland, KS, where he and Janet owned and operated Malpert Drug Company for the next 28 years until Darrell’s retirement in 1997.

While in Goodland, KS, Darrell served on the city council, was a member of the Goodland Chamber of Commerce and served on the church council of Emmanual Lutheran Church.

Darrell was an avid fisherman. When he was not filling prescriptions, he would be at the lake. Darrell also enjoyed golfing on his days off, however he said that he would have been a better golfer if he didn’t spend so much time boating and fishing. Throughout his years in Goodland, Darrell shared his love of the lake with family and friends, spending many weekends boating and picnicking. Darrell also enjoyed swimming, hiking, and watching the stars. He enjoyed taking hikes with his family and getting the telescope out to share his knowledge of astronomy. Darrell is named in the International Star Registry with a star named after him. After Jan’s retirement in 2001, the couple moved to Lindsborg, KS. During retirement the couple enjoyed travelling, especially spending winter months in Green Valley, AZ. Darrell also enjoyed gardening and supplying the neighborhood with plenty of tomatoes and cucumbers.&nbsp; Darrell was an avid reader and enjoyed learning new things. He served on the Lindsborg Housing Authority as a board member of Villa Ro and was also a member of Bethany Lutheran Church and the Lindsborg Lions Club.

Darrell was preceded in death by his wife Janet of 63 years, his parents, John and Karen Malpert, brother Kenneth Malpert, his father and mother-in-law Albert and Esther Werner, sisters-in-law Jane Malpert and Jan Werner.

He is survived by his three daughters, Dawn (Kendal) Rohr of Canton, KS; Avona (Scott) Wennihan of Columbus, NE; Meredith (Wayne) Pohlmann of Deshler, NE; brother Merlin (Barbara) Malpert of Nixa, MO, and brother-in-law Ronald Werner of Poplar Grove, IL. He was a proud grandparent to Bret (Zoe) and Scott (Tiffany) Rohr, Miranda (Todd) Jackson, Whitney (AJ) Bayerl, Emily Pohlmann, Megan (Zach) Mason, Jared (Cheyanna) Pohlmann, Ragan Pohlmann, fourteen great-grandchildren, many friends, and relatives.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 11 a.m., August 19th at Bethany Lutheran Church in Lindsborg, KS with burial in Deshler, NE, at a later date.

Memorials may be made to Bethany Lutheran Church, the Lindsborg Lions Club, and Sunflower Terrace, care of Ryan Mortuary, Salina.

Sheri Lynn (Leister) Roesner, 58, died on July 31, 2023. She was born on June 14, 1965, to Gayle and Helen (Hoeffner) Leister. She attended South East of Salina and graduated from Sacred Heart High School where she was Homecoming Queen in 1983.&nbsp; She attended Dental Hygiene School at Wichita State and Kansas State University where she worked her way onto the Dean’s List in 86, 87 and her final graduation year in 88 and went on to be a highly esteemed hygienist in Austin, TX.

The name “Sheri” is derived from the word “Sunshine” and that is an understatement of who she was. She was the life of every party, light of every room and she will be deeply and dearly missed.

Growing up, Sheri was fond of riding horses, bowling, cheerleading and helping out with the family business.&nbsp; She was an avid traveler and speed walker and Lake Travis visitor. She was happiest on her boat listening to country music, spending time with her family, walking her dog “Buddy”, or somewhere on the beach. Her 3 children, Colton, Chase and Alyssa, were her whole life until she became “grandma” to Oaklynn, Parker and Stella.

She was preceded in death by her father, Gayle, her grandparents, William and Minnie Hoeffner and Glenn and Verna Leister. She was united in marriage to Tom Roesner.

She is survived by her children, Colton (Samantha), Chase, and Alyssa (Steven) Anderson; her mother, Helen and stepfather, Kenny Meyer; three brothers, Rick (Tina), Randy and Rusty (Kelly) and her beloved grandchildren, Oaklynn, Parker and Stella and several nieces and nephews.

A Memorial Mass of Christian burial will be at 10:30 am Saturday, August 19, 2023, at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church. A Rosary service will be offered at 10:00 a.m. prior to the Mass. Interment will be private in Mt. Calvary Cemetery. Visitation will be at the Ryan Mortuary on Friday, August 18, 2023, where the family will receive friends from 6 until 8 pm that evening. Memorials are suggested to St. Elizabeth’s Parish.

William "Bill" T. Riordan passed away peacefully on August 8, 2023, 5 weeks after the death of his beloved wife, Susan. Bill was the only child of Vincent and Sylvia (Long) Riordan, born October 23, 1948 at St. John’s Hospital in Salina. He lived with his parents in Solomon until the family relocated to the Riordan homestead in Saline County. From a young age, Bill demonstrated diverse talents, first as a classically trained pianist starting in childhood and then as a small aircraft pilot in young adulthood. A devout Catholic, Bill attended Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas where he met Susan Kinney, who became his dear wife of over 50 years. Bill majored in social work and worked briefly in related fields before settling into a lifetime of work for the Social Security Administration. He briefly worked for the SSA in Coffeyville and Independence before joining the SSA satellite office in Salina, where he and Susan raised their four children over two decades. Bill remained deeply connected to his family’s farming roots throughout his life. He loved old John Deere tractors and adopted several throughout his life, using them to help maintain the land his Irish immigrant ancestors homesteaded in the 19th century. He never met a chainsaw he didn’t like, nor a tool he didn’t need. He loved getting his hands dirty fixing things that were broken. He had the Irish gift of gab and was always ready with a story. Or two. Or three. Bill was preceded in death by his parents, his wife, Susan, and his grandson, Kurtis. He leaves behind his four children, James, Mary, Ann, and Jennifer; as well as the many friends he made over the years. His family would like to thank Lee Gay for all his help, as well as the hard working and loving staff at Legacy of Salina and Hospice of Salina for making Bill’s final days restful and free of fear and pain. Bill’s wishes were to be cremated and services will be private at the convenience of family. The family requests that donations in Bill’s memory be made to the Salina Public Library, the Manna House in Concordia, or the Central Kansas Flywheels Museum.

Kermit Gene Wedel, M.D., a family physician and community leader in Minneapolis, Kan., for six decades, died peacefully on July 27 at the age of 90. He is survived by four children and his wife of 69 years, Kathleen.&nbsp;

Kerm, the son of Arthur A. and Elizabeth K. Wedel, was born at the family farmhouse in McPherson County on July 28, 1932, shortly after his identical twin brother, Ken. He told of his life growing up on the farm. He attended a one-room schoolhouse in McPherson County and Moundridge High School. He then attended Bethel College in North Newton, Kan. On Oct. 16, 1953, he married Kathleen Zerger at Eden Mennonite Church in rural Moundridge. He earned his medical degree from the University of Kansas School of Medicine where his studies earned him selection into Alpha Omega Alpha, the national medical honor society.&nbsp;

Kerm spent an extra year as a surgical resident in Wichita after medical school and then joined Ken in practice in Minneapolis in 1962. Ken and Kerm worked mostly at the Minneapolis Clinic (Wedel, Wedel and Barker), two blocks from Kerm’s home on Fifth Street, where he and Kathleen would raise their growing family. Besides raising their children, the two opened their home to medical school preceptors, foreign exchange students and friends and neighbors for numerous themed events.&nbsp;

In addition to being a skilled physician, Dr. Wedel was a recognized leader in the medical profession. He served his profession in many capacities, including serving as President of the Kansas Medical Society in 1982-83. He also served as KMS’ principal delegate to the American Medical Association for two decades. Dr. Wedel served as an associate professor in family medicine for the University of Kansas School of Medicine. Other roles included Governor’s Commission on Healthcare and the Board of Blue Shield of Kansas. He served as Vice President for Medical Affairs at Asbury/ Salina Regional Health Center and on their Boards for many years. In his 18 years as a board member at the Kansas Health Foundation they approved $336 million in grants improving healthcare and healthcare access.

Jerry Slaughter of the Kansas Medical Society recently wrote: “It’s hard to condense down into one paragraph the contributions he made over many years, but without question, he was one of the most impactful physician leaders we have had. He was generous of his time, humble, pragmatic, cheerful, always positive, and never sought attention or recognition for his efforts on behalf of the profession he so ably represented.”

The same sentiment can be said for his many roles in the local community and area. He was one of four community members to travel to Colorado to secure the purchase of the land that would become Rock City Park. He was a long-time member of the First United Methodist Church, held many leadership positions and was a charter trustee of the United Methodist Health Ministry Fund. He served as member and chair of the USD 239 Board of Education, a founder of the Ottawa County Community Foundation, president of the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce as well as the city council, including as mayor from 2016 to 2021. Later he enjoyed serving on the Rolling Hills Refuge Board for his close friend and travel companion, Charlie Walker.

Most people simply knew him as Kerm or Dr. Kerm – someone who would offer medical advice, a quick hug, or a smile and handshake on the street, or as he was grilling outside the alley entrance of the Blue Moon, the local “speakeasy” restaurant that he and Kathleen opened for Friday night dinners in 1997 and operated for over 20 years.&nbsp;

Upon their retirement in 2005, The Ottawa County Hospital memorialized Kerm and Ken’s service to the community by naming sections of the hospital in their honor.

In his leisure time, Kerm and Kathleen enjoyed watching KU football and basketball games and games in which their grandchildren played. One of his childhood memories was capturing pigeons in the barn of KU basketball player and later Kentucky basketball coach Adolph Rupp near Halstead. He enjoyed all sports and occasionally said that if he hadn’t been a doctor he might have been a baseball umpire.&nbsp;

He loved spending time at the family’s cabin on Greers Ferry Lake in Arkansas. This provided years of enjoyment for friends and for annual gatherings of all children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren that was held each year and included teaching children, grandchildren and children of friends how to ski.

Kerm was preceded in death by his brother Delbert; his twin brother, Ken; and his sister, Leola. He is survived by his wife, Kathleen; four children, Alan (Sandy) Wedel of Salina, Russ (Deb) Wedel of Hutchinson, Sonya (Mark) Siebert of Des &nbsp;Moines, IA and Mary (Mike) Mraz of Southold, NY; 11 grandchildren, Rachel (Pete) Stroer, Luke Wedel, Sarah (Derrick) Rowan, Kristin (Brian) McGuirk, Brett (Katrina Horner) Wedel, Emily (Ryker) Williams, Ben (Nina Pressman) Siebert, Matthew Siebert, Simon Mraz, Isaiah Mraz and Naomi Mraz; and six great-grandchildren, Isaac and Ethan Stroer, Elliot Wedel, Rose McGuirk, Jack Rowan and Mara Gene Siebert.&nbsp;

He was surprised and his heart was touched when after his 18 years of service on the board of the Kansas Health Foundation, the foundation presented a check for $25,000 to benefit the Ottawa County Community Foundation in his honor. He asked the contribution be used as seed money for a Public Health Fund. In lieu of flowers, memorials in Kerm’s memory can be made to the Public Health Fund of the Ottawa County Foundation.

Lisa Ann Burlingham, 59, of Salina, passed away Saturday, July 29th, 2023 Lisa was born in Ottawa, Kansas on September 26, 1963, a daughter of Annie and Earl Sommer. Lisa was many things in this life. A friend. A confidant. A mother and sister. A grandmother and teacher. She was beautiful and warm and her presence alone lit up a room. She was loving and kind, but stern and solid when she needed to be. Mom taught us that hard work pays off and that nobody will take care of you besides yourself. She taught us strength and patience. And also how to make light of things in tough times. That’s what she would want. She would want us to grieve quickly and get back to it. She would not want to see us sad or letting go. She would not want us to give up or lose hope, because through everything that she endured, she always laughed and never gave up. She will be missed dearly by many. She touched many lives and improved countless more. She will never be forgotten, and she will never truly be gone. She will stay with us always in our hearts. We will continue on with her lessons and be reminded of her daily through little things and big things, and we will continue on her legacy that she gave us. We continue to make her proud. She will always be in our hearts to remind us that we are loved. We are individuals to be proud of. And that time will indeed bring us back together in the end. Gone but never forgotten, rest well, Mom. Survivors include her daughter, Kylie Mowell (Paul), of Salina, Kansas; son, Jonah Burlingham, of Lakewood, Colorado; 2 grandchildren, Bailey, and Corbin; and her brother, Frank Sommer, of Lawrence, Kansas. She is preceded in death by her parents. Graveside services will be held at 11:00 am, Wednesday, August 9th at Highland Cemetery in Ottawa, Kansas.
