Luava Marie Hederstedt, 96, longtime resident of Saline County, Kansas, died October 18, 2023, in Texas without major illness or hospitalization. Luava was born in Gove County, Kansas, as the eldest of Will and Marie Fullmer’s six children.

When Luava was 10, her family moved to central California during the Dust Bowl of the 1930’s, and soon after she trusted Christ as her Savior. Returning to Kansas in her twenties, Luava met and married Paul Hederstedt, who passed away in 2013 after 60 years of marriage. They farmed east of Salina for 20 years, and Luava spent countless hours driving gravel roads into town to give her children various opportunities—music and swim lessons, rollerskating, choir and others. They were longtime members of First Covenant Church, where Luava served as church secretary for many years.

 Before that, she worked as a secretary with two companies and later as an ALFAC insurance agent.Luava is remembered for her faith in God, for deeply loving her family, and for volunteering and serving others in countless ways behind the scenes, including Meals on Wheels. She took great joy in hearing her family make music and sing and play hymns. 

Her greatest regret in the past couple of years was not being able to read even a large-print Bible because of macular degeneration; listening to the YouVersion audio Bible on her iPad became a lifeline for her.Luava is survived by her three children (and their spouses):&nbsp; Randy (Chris, deceased), Kansas; Roger (Julie), South Carolina; and Sharon (John), Texas.&nbsp; Her 11 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren live in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, South Carolina and Michigan. She also has one brother, three sisters and many neices and nephews in California, along with numerous other cousins and relatives.

A memorial service is planned for 2:00 P.M. on Saturday, January 6, 2024, at Abilene Bible Baptist Church Family Life Center,&nbsp;409 N. Van Buren St, Abilene, KS 67410. Attire is casual and people are welcome to wear Luava’s favorite style of clothing: pink and floral. Those in attendance will have the opportunity to share a story or memory about Luava.In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be sent to the above church (abilenebaptist.com), Novo Mission (novo.org) or Gateway Church (gatewaypeople.com).

Joe&nbsp;F.&nbsp;Dolezal, 80, Hays,&nbsp;passed away&nbsp;Wednesday,&nbsp;October&nbsp;25, 2023 in Hays, Kansas.&nbsp;

He was born&nbsp;September 16, 1943&nbsp;in Belleville, Kansas&nbsp;to Elmer and Marcella (Kalivoda) Dolezal.&nbsp;He attended school at White School,&nbsp;Cubaand Belleville High School.&nbsp;He did not attend kindergarten because White School had eight grades in one room but no kindergarten.&nbsp;Joe's mother told him he was gifted and&nbsp;didn't&nbsp;need it.&nbsp;His wife reminded&nbsp;him that everything he really needed to know, like sharing, neatness,&nbsp;and good manners, he should have learned in kindergarten-hence his adult problems!&nbsp;

When Joe's abundant musical talent took over in high school age, he drove to Belleville because there were two outstanding music teachers there&nbsp;-Mr. Van Gundy and Mr. Nelson King.&nbsp;Following three busy years at Belleville High School, graduating in 1961, Joe eventually went to Fort Hays State University and majored in music education in 1965 (Mr. King's advice).&nbsp;He earned his Masters of Music Education in 1970.

His freshman year he played Charley Dalrymple in&nbsp;Brigadoon&nbsp;at FortHays.&nbsp;In the audience his future wife, Sue Nelson, noticed him singing "Come to Me, Bend to Me" and thought,&nbsp;"Wow, he is talented and cute".&nbsp;A year later, she and Joe finally met when she accompanied him on his voice recital.&nbsp;Then he discovered Sue lived a block from campus with a mother who kept her refrigerator full.&nbsp;Joe enjoyed her food.&nbsp;His sophomore year he had the lead in&nbsp;Kismet.

Joe married Sue Nelson&nbsp;on&nbsp;November&nbsp;1, 1963,&nbsp;in Hays,&nbsp;both completing their music education degrees.&nbsp;Joe taught two years in Plainville, three years in Belleville, and 28 years in Hays, Kansas.&nbsp;He had three choral groups selected to perform at the Kansas Music Educators Association state convention and served as the president of the Kansas American Choral Directors Association.&nbsp;He took four choirs to Europe, three to New York festivals,&nbsp;and five show choirs to Disney World.

Following his retirement in 1998, he and Sue bought a convenience store, laundromat, RV park, and many rental units that kept him busy.

Joe and Sue's union was blessed with three wonderful children.&nbsp;Scott and Darlene (Randa) Dolezal and all three of their sons,&nbsp;Steven&nbsp;and Kate (Koetting) Dolezal&nbsp;with&nbsp;Sofia and Riley, Matt and Meagan (Jennings) Dolezal with Brooks, and Joshua and Alexa (Pacheco) Dolezal with Mark Ryan live in Amarillo, Texas.&nbsp;

Mark Joseph Dolezal, his middle child, died in 2016. He was Joe's right hand managing rental units, etc.

Jan&nbsp;Staab,&nbsp;the apple of her father's eye, married to Kirk Staab, live in Irving, Texas&nbsp;with two sons Kaden and Callie (Siruta)&nbsp;Staab&nbsp;and Kyler Staab living in Colby, Kansas.

He is also survived by his brother,&nbsp;Loren and Beverly Dolezal,&nbsp;and several nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Elmer and Marcella Dolezal, and his son, Mark Joseph Dolezal.

Joe loved traveling to Broadway musicals, Alaska, Hawaii, Cancun, Czechoslovakia, family ski trips,&nbsp;and&nbsp;K- State bowl games.&nbsp;He loved attending Royals, Fort&nbsp;Hays,&nbsp;and K-State games.&nbsp;His later years were all about his Joe Dolezal&nbsp;polka&nbsp;band.&nbsp;He was passionate about his Czechoslovakian folk music and culture and playing his German purchased button accordion.&nbsp;He and Sue enjoyed walking their dogs, playing bridge, golf,&nbsp;and tennis (a long time ago).&nbsp;He played in an over-the-hill basketball league with fellow teachers until his over-enthusiastic defense caused a one-game suspension!

No words can express his family's sincere feelings of loss and sadness at this how proud they are of his contribution to the musical world in Hays America.&nbsp;He influenced many generations of high school choral students for four decades.&nbsp;He passed his love of music onto not just his children and grandchildren, but thousands of his students.&nbsp;He left his footprint wherever he went.

Funeral services will be at 10:00 am on Saturday, October 28, 2023 at Hays First United Methodist Church&nbsp;with Rev. Craig Hauschild officiating.&nbsp;&nbsp;Burial will follow in Mount Allen Cemetery. &nbsp;Visitation will be from 5:00 pm until 7:00 on Friday at Hays Memorial Chapel Funeral Home and from 9:00 am until service time on Saturday at the church. &nbsp;Memorials in Joe’s memory may be made to Hays High Music Department. &nbsp;Condolences and memories of Joe may be left for his family at www.haysmemorial.com &nbsp;

Dolores Marie (Schmitt) Deneault, 94, died peacefully at North Central Kansas Medical Center on October 23, 2023, surrounded by her children. She was born August 11, 1929, to Louis and Mary (Hake) Schmitt in Tipton, Kansas. Eventually, she would become the fifth child of seven.

She lived her life in service to others and that gave her the most joy. This started at an early age when her father asked her to drop out of Tipton High School, before her senior year to take care of her mother who was very ill. Though it was difficult to watch her friends graduate without her, she always did whatever was needed for her family regardless of the sacrifices required.

Dolores loved to dance, especially polka, and one night in Beloit she met her forever dance partner, Levi Deneault. They were married on October 22, 1947, in Tipton and would make their home on a farm southeast of Concordia. In addition to caring for their six children, Dolores worked with her husband on the farm driving wheat to the elevator, taking care of cattle and chickens, and canning produce from the garden. In 1969, they moved to a house in Concordia.

Dolores earned her high school diploma via correspondence in 1972. Over the years, she worked at the Cloud County Sheriff’s Office, Fairmont Foods, and the Blade Empire until her retirement in 1992.

Dolores spent her retirement playing cards, landscaping, volunteering at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church and dancing with Levi until his death in 2013.

For their high school graduation gifts, Dolores made all her granddaughters quilts and crocheted blankets for her grandsons. Hosting and cooking for all her children and grandchildren at the holidays was by far her favorite pastime. With 17 grandchildren, there were times when sardines had more room than a Deneault family gathering, but you could never convince Dolores there was not room for one more at her table and few things disappointed her more than when family members could not attend.

Even in her nineties, she attended as many family gatherings or grandchildren activities as possible, went to mass weekly, and stayed up late on Saturday nights to polka dance in her living room.

She was a member of Our Lady Perpetual Help Church, its Alter Society, Former Aurora Ladies club, marathon card group, American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars and Concordia Moose Club.

In addition to her husband, Dolores was preceded in death by her parents, daughter Brenda Deneault; grandson Jesse Larkins; great granddaughter Karsten Begnoche; granddaughter-in-law Krystal Link, sisters Madalyn Schulte, Catherine Streit, Irene Barton; and brothers Leo and Paul Schmitt.

Dolores is survived by her children Sam (Linda), Dallas, TX; Deanna Link (Jerry), Delphos; Jolene Crotinger (Rod), Concordia; Don (Jeanette) and Galen (Debbie), Concordia. Her 17 grandchildren, 34 great grandchildren and 2 great-great grandchildren.

She also leaves behind her sister Sally Lokey and sisters-in-law Gloria Hoffman Hall and Ella Livengood.

Visitation will be held on Sunday, October 29, 2023, from 1-6 p.m., at the Chaput-Buoy Funeral Home, Concordia, Kansas.

A Vigil/Rosary Service will be held at 4:00 p.m., Sunday, October 29, 2023 at the Chaput-Buoy Funeral Home.&nbsp;&nbsp;The family will receive friends after the Vigil/Rosary Service.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:00 a.m., Monday, October 30, 2023 at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church in Concordia, Kansas, with Fr. Joseph Kieffer officiating. Burial will follow in the St. Concordia Cemetery, Concordia, Kansas.

Memorials contributions may be given to Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church or the St. Concordia Cemetery.&nbsp;&nbsp;In care of Chaput-Buoy Funeral Home, PO Box 606, Concordia, KS 66901.&nbsp;&nbsp;For online condolences, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://www.chaputbuoy/" target="_blank">www.chaputbuoy.com</a>

Lawrence “Larry” D. Hammerschmidt, 70, passed away October 19, 2023. He was born August 23, 1953 to Elmer M. and Dorothy Ann (Freitag) Hammerschmidt. He was preceded in death by his parents. Surviving Larry’s passing is his wife Cathy, two children Brad and Crystal, his brother David Hammerschmidt and&nbsp;sister, Linda Kendrick.

“Our Mom and Dad have been together for 50 years; they grew up only blocks away from each other. I’m sure it had something to do with a motorcycle, hotrods or dragging cars down Santa Fe that brought them together. They married in 1980 and around the time I was to come around, Dad joined mom as her one and only employee in her upholstery shop. They’ve been working together ever since.”

In his passing we remember the laughs and mischief that followed him everywhere. He loved to sit and chat and seemed to be quiet a charmer everywhere he went. He loved hotrods, working with his hands and always had big projects in the works. His grandest vision was hands down, the “Tower” and it’s where us kids learned so many valuable lessons on how to build your dreams. Thank you, dad! He loved to tinker, had exquisite taste in tools and loved to over engineer everything if he had the chance. With his passing goes an irreplaceable wealth of knowledge and experience. I know there are so many lives, and cars, that my dad has touched in his lifetime. While we hold the deepest love and remembrance for my dad, we thank you all for your kindness.&nbsp;

We will&nbsp;honor and celebrate Dad with a party on November 5th at Lakewood Park, Salina. Between 12-3, in shelter #1. We hope that you come out to enjoy a meal and share some laughs with each other, we would love to see everyone out on the motorcycles and cars Dad worked on or just loved to enjoy. Rev those engines, because that’s what he’d want to hear.”

Our deepest gratitude for all of your support, Cathy, Crystal &amp; Brad

We do welcome everyone to come spend time at the visitation:

12-8 p.m. at Ryan Mortuary, Thursday, October 26, 2023.&nbsp;

Family will be available between 5-8 p.m.

Donations may be made to either the Salina Animal Shelter or the Smoky Hill River Festival Foundation in his name. Online condolences visit&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ryanmortuary.com/" target="_blank">www.ryanmortuary.com</a>

Joseph “Phil” Aumick, 68, of Bennington, passed away on Tuesday, October 17, 2023 after complications from his recent diagnosis of lymphoma. He was born in Little Rock, AR, on April 1, 1955, to Frederick G. and Julia Elizabeth (Roche) Aumick.  He met his wife, Patti L. Bowman, of 46 years at the University of Kansas, where he majored in journalism. Phil and Patti married on May 28, 1977, in Clifton, KS.

Phil remained an active Jayhawk fan the rest of his life, introducing his children to KU basketball and Allen Fieldhouse at a young age.

Phil spent his career in advertising and marketing, working at the Salina Journal, Waters True Value Hardware stores, and as the Ottawa County economic development coordinator, where he combined his marketing skills with his drive to serve his community.

Phil was active in the Bennington and Minneapolis communities for many years, serving on the Twin Valley School Board for twelve years and on the Board of Directors for Rock City Park and Golden Wheel Senior Center. He volunteered for numerous community and school projects over the years, from the Bennington ball fields to the carnival at the Ottawa County Fair. When his children were in school, he coached many of their sports teams for years.

In his spare time, Phil liked to do jigsaw puzzles, fly fish, hike, and travel. After retiring, Phil and Patti traveled extensively in their RV and made frequent trips to see their children and grandchildren. Phil’s creative side came out in his wood working, gardening and landscaping, and the many craft projects he did with his grandkids. He enjoyed the planning and learning involved in his hobbies and travels just as much as he enjoyed the projects and trips themselves. But most of all, he cherished his time spent with his family and grandchildren.

Left to treasure his memory are his wife, Patti, of Bennington; daughter, Dana Berggren, husband Michael, and their children Caleb, Grant, and Madelyn, of Pella, IA; son, Brian Aumick, of Voorheesville, NY and his son Drew; father, Frederick Aumick, of Lawrence, KS; brother, David Aumick, of Troy, OH; sister, Joyce Claterbos, of Lawrence, KS; and several nieces and nephews.

He is preceded in death by his mother, Julia “Liz” Aumick, sister-in-law, Karen Aumick, and brother-in-law, Chris Claterbos.
