Judy Ann Weigel, age 80 died July 26, 2022 at The Arbors at Waldron Place Memory Care Assisted Living in Hutchinson.&nbsp; She was born February 17, 1942, in Munjor, to Felix and Elizabeth (Herrman) Schumacher.&nbsp; Everyone who knew Judy, knows she was a “social butterfly” and her greatest talent was her “gift of gab”.&nbsp; This earned her the nickname of the Munjor Lilly early in life.

Judy had a passion for music she inherited from her father at an early age.&nbsp; During High School she would often travel with her father on the weekends playing her saxophone while he played the accordion in the Hermanettes polka band for anniversaries and weddings all over Kansas.&nbsp;

Judy graduated from Hays High School in 1960, where she was crowned homecoming queen.&nbsp; While still in high school, she worked at her uncle’s beauty salon after school, helping wash client’s hair.&nbsp; It was there Judy became interested in being a Cosmetologist.&nbsp; After high school she attended Sidney’s Hairdressing Academy in Hutchinson, KS while living with her sister Alma and her family.&nbsp; Judy absolutely loved all children.&nbsp; Her nephews often share stories about waiting at the front door for Judy to get out of school so she could rescue them from the house for a bit as she walked them to Peter Pan for ice cream cones.&nbsp;&nbsp;

While working for another uncle at his local ice cream parlor in Hays, KS, Judy met the love of her life Darrell, as he chased her around the ice cream cabinet one day when he delivered milk and ice cream from the LK Dairy.&nbsp; They married April 29, 1961 and shared almost 40 years of marriage prior to his death April 17, 2001.&nbsp; As Darrell climbed the corporate ladder with Dillon’s Food Stores they moved across Kansas and Arkansas, sometimes transferring within weeks or months after the last move.&nbsp; Judy’s social nature was a godsend during these times as she worked to help Darrell and their three girls adjust to the constant moves. She quickly found work either at local salons or opening her own salon in their home.&nbsp; Once Darrell got assigned to the Dillon Offices as a Meat Market supervisor, Judy retired for a few years before purchasing Faircrest Beauty Salon in 1980 the year their oldest daughter graduated from High School.&nbsp; She continued to manage and work as a stylist at the salon until 1994 after her and Darrell paid the last college bill for their girls.&nbsp; Judy often said, besides raising her three daughters her greatest accomplishment and gift to the girls was their college education.

Judy had numerous hobbies and interests.&nbsp; Her greatest joy was traveling all over Kansas to attend as many of her grandchildren’s sporting events as she possibly could.&nbsp; She also enjoyed playing golf, bridge, and going to the casinos.&nbsp; Judy was known as a “wicked” card player.&nbsp; She enjoyed following politics and everything going on in her country.&nbsp; After her husband, Darrell died, Judy volunteered selling tickets at all the Trinity High School Basketball games, where she was known as “Grandma Judy” by all the Junior and High School students and staff.&nbsp; She was a member of Church of the Holy Cross (where she served as a Eucharistic Minister and Rosary Leader) and St. Teresa Catholic Church.&nbsp; She absolutely cherished all of her thirteen grandchildren, twelve great-grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild.&nbsp; She often thanked her girls for bringing such amazing son-in-laws into the family.

Judy is survived by:&nbsp; children, Sandra Pangburn (Steven) of Hutchinson; Stacey Cahn (Robert) of Derby; Suzanne Schowalter (Travis) of Overland Park; 13 grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great-grandchild.

She was proceeded in death by: her husband, Darrell; her parents; infant brother, Harry Schumacher; sister, Alma Aich; brother, LeRoy Schumacher; and a nephew, Ricky Schumacher.

Julia Cecile Keesling died on Friday, July 22, 2022. Born October 17, 1931, at Sterling, Julie was the daughter of George Harold and Velma Ione Underwood Bruer. She was a 1950 graduate of Hutchinson High School and a 1973 graduate of McPherson Licensed Practical School of Nursing.&nbsp;

On August 29, 1950, Julie married Lyle W. McKinney in the South Hutchinson Methodist Church. To this union was born three sons, Michael, David, and Tim. Later on August 10, 1979, Julie married Harvey E. Keesling, in Sylvia. Harvey passed away on March 17, 2005.&nbsp;

Julie was a former member of the Methodist Churches&nbsp; in South Hutchinson, Arlington, Lerado, and Sylvia. She also attended Sylvia and Penalosa Churches of Christ. She was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star and the Rebekah Lodge for over 60 years, the Lucky Circle Sewing Club in Arlington, and was Kanza Council den mother for Cub and Boy Scouts. In March of 1972, Julie was awarded the Silver Fawn by the Kanza Council Boy Scouts of America, the highest honor bestowed upon a scouting volunteer. She was also a member of the Sylvia Ladies Auxiliary.

Julie’s first job was working at Shrum’s Cafe in Hutchinson, while she was in high school, where she met Maxine Albright, who became her sister-in-law and lifelong friend. Next she worked at Ferguson’s Jewelry in the 1950’s, followed by taking off 10 years to be a housewife and mother. During this time she helped her father-in-law Vernal McKinney with the family farm. In 1966 Julie became the kitchen manager at Fairfield High School, and she held this job until 1972. After Julie became a nurse, she worked at the Stafford Hospital from 1973 until 1984. She retired from nursing to help Harvey on the farm. Later in life she babysat several children of Fairfield teachers.

Julie loved life and she loved her family. Her mom taught her to sew in the 1930’s and she enjoyed sewing and quilting for as long as she could see to do it. Many family members have been blessed with her quilts of love. There is no way to count the number of dresses that Julie made for relatives and friends. As a child of the depression, Julie also learned to can, grow food, and cook to help keep up with her family of 11 siblings. She loved to cook, and was excellent at it, as her sons and grandsons can attest. One of her later interests in life was genealogy and this involved research trips across the country with Dan, Bonnie, and her sister Martha. She loved to tell stories about those trips. Julie loved every single holiday and went all out to decorate and make it special for her loved ones. Christmas was at the top of the list and her presents always piled up over halfway up the tree. She loved giving more than anything! And then there was her love of watching sports, especially her grandsons, as well as attending the National Junior College Basketball Tournaments in Hutchinson each year with Harvey.

Sweet Ole Bill (SOB) died July 21, 2022 in Hutchinson, KS after a short illness. He was 87 years old; he was born December 15, 1934 in Offerle, Kansas to Adam Frank and Viola (Goad) Roepka.

He attended Offerle schools and graduated high school as the co-valedictorian in the graduating class of three students. He married Judy A. Bentley in November of 1954; they were blessed with four children. They later divorced in 1975. He married Gwendolyn Taylor on April 9, 1976. She survives along with his children: Bill Jr. (Sheila) of Denton, Texas; Greg (Sue) and Tom (Donna) of Hutchinson and his favorite daughter Cynthia Hart (Dale) of Pueblo, Colorado. Other survivors include stepdaughters Winnie Graves of Marysville, Washington and Diana LeValley of Fort Myers, Florida and numerous nieces, nephews, grandchildren, great grandchildren, greatgreat grandchildren and “adopted” Nickerson grandchildren.

Bill was the youngest of six children; he was proceeded in death by all of his older siblings, stepson Rufus Taylor and his favorite dog Patches. He was a four year US Navy veteran; following his honorable discharge in 1957, he and his family settled in Nickerson, Kansas where he became plant manager for the Western Supply Co. air conditioning manufacturing facility until it closed in the early 1970’s. After the plant closure, he owned businesses including the Bob Inn Tavern where he was lovingly tagged with his acronym “SOB”; he also worked as a tradesman and finished his career when he retired as a supervisor for KDOT after 14 years. His first retirement was short as he dedicated his invaluable time to helping his son Greg found Stainless Systems Inc. in South Hutchinson; he finally retired permanently in 2001. Bill’s favorite hobby was woodworking; he enjoyed gifting his creations to friends and relatives until the accidental removal and reattachment of his right thumb. At that time Gwen banned him from using large power tools.

Bill loved Nickerson, Kansas, where he lived all of his adult life and served on many civic boards and the volunteer fire department where he proudly proclaimed “they saved every foundation”.

A small graveside service will be held at a later date due to the fact that most of his friends and older relatives already beat him to the pearly gates. The time and location will be announced on Facebook.

In lieu of flowers, a memorial donation can be made to the Alzheimer’s Association at <a href="http://alz.org/donate">alz.org/donate</a> or a blood donation can be made to the Red Cross blood mobile where Sweet Ole Bill (SOB) caringly donated over 20 gallons of his own, some of which had to be reclaimed during the various and many surgeries required to keep him going during his 87 years.
