Doris Elaine Spradlin was born on February 10, 1930, in Hutchinson, to George E. and Edith (Waldo) Spradlin. George and Edith lived in Hutchinson until 1935, when they moved their family to McPherson. George and Edith also had a second daughter Donna. Doris was baptized at the First Christian Church of McPherson, when she was 8 years old. Doris attended school in McPherson, graduating from McPherson High School in 1948. Then she went on to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital’s Nurses training in Hutchinson and became a Registered Nurse on June 19, 1951. Doris worked as a registered nurse for Dr. Weir Pierson and Dr. E.C. Brandsted. She enjoyed working for Dr. Brandsted, especially delighting in the obstetrics patients and their newborn babies. She remained working for Dr. Brandsted until they both retired from active practice. Doris was married to Carl W. Swanson at the First Christian Church in McPherson, KS, on October 21, 1955. Together they celebrated 55 years of marriage before Carl passed away on March 17, 2011. She was the mother of a son Dale and a daughter Lori. Doris and Carl were fun grandparents to Karin, Leslie and Adam. They were game to keep the grandkids so that their parents could get away now and then. They attended as many of Leslie’s sporting events as they were able. They lovingly created and maintained “the pond” where the family could gather for fishing and for celebrations. The great-grandsons Jacob and Dylan grew up enjoying being at the pond – they could ride in the paddle boat, swing, or play in the sandpile. Many extended family celebrations were held there. Doris planted flowers that made the pond a very attractive place to gather and organized all the meals that took place at the pond. When great-great-grandson Derek arrived in November 2019, the family was able to take 5-generation photos with Doris! She made sure she had M&amp;M’s on hand for Derek’s visits to Brookdale as he got older. Doris loved sewing, making quilts for her family in her retirement. They are cherished heirlooms, especially now. After Carl died, Doris became very proactive for herself, selecting an apartment and moving to McPherson from the farm; deciding when it was time for her to cease driving and selling her car; selecting Brookdale as the assisted living facility where she would live…This was a huge blessing to her family. She was always a step ahead so that the decisions were hers, and not something they had to force upon her. She very much enjoyed gathering monthly at Hank’s with local members of her high school graduating class until the Covid-19 pandemic brought that to a halt. She also belonged to a Birthday Club of special friends who met monthly. Doris delivered Meals on Wheels in McPherson for more than 15 years, with either Carl or Lori. Doris was profoundly saddened by the sudden death of her daughter Lori on April 5, 2022, and her health went into a steady decline until her death on Thursday, July 21, 2022, at the age of 92. She is survived by her son Dale Swanson and his wife Kris of McPherson, her three grandchildren Karin Krehbiel and her husband Jay of McPherson, Leslie Lyman and her husband Justin of Overland Park, and Adam Swanson who lives on the family farm; her two great-grandsons Jacob Krehbiel and his wife Katlynn of Salina and Dylan Krehbiel of McPherson; her great-great-grandson Derek Krehbiel; her sister Donna Dooley of Edmond, OK, and her nephew Dana Dooley of Texas; other relatives and many friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Carl, her daughter Lori, her brother-in-law Joe Dooley; her nephews Tad Dooley and Joel Dooley. We, her family, would like to thank Brookdale Assisted Living and Kindred Hospice for their tender care for Doris in the last days of her life. She was so appreciative of all of you. A Celebration of Life Come and Go gathering will be held from 10:00 am-12:00 pm on Saturday, August 6, at Glidden-Ediger Chapel, preceded by a private family burial in McPherson Cemetery at 9:00 am.&nbsp;&nbsp;

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.
