LaDonna Mae Griffis, 90, of Lyons, passed away December 1, 2021, at Sterling Village, Sterling. She was born October 25, 1931, in Brookville, the daughter of Paige and Lola Shute Shuttleworth. LaDonna has resided in Lyons since 1980, formerly of Holyrood, and Rockford and New Lenox, Illinois. She graduated in 1948 from Fort Stockton High School while living with her beloved Aunt Mary Hanna Robinson in Fort Stockton, Texas. LaDonna was an active member of the First United Methodist Church of Lyons, and cherished her relationship with Jesus Christ her Savior. On December 6, 1980, LaDonna married her second husband William Griffis in Lyons, who preceded her in death on September 26, 2001. LaDonna was proud of her husband Bill and enjoyed going on road trips in one of his restored vintage automobiles. She is also preceded in death by her parents; siblings, Dwight, Teddy, Vance, Paige and Della Pruitt; daughter-in-law, Cheryl Ann Warner; and grandson, Joshua Warner. LaDonna is survived by her three children, Gene Warner of Holyrood, Sandra McCarthy of Joliet, IL, and James Warner and wife Andrea of Boise, ID; her three stepchildren, Rhonda Newman and husband Jim of Lyons, Jo Burge of Lyons, and Doug Griffis and wife Kathy of Cunningham; brother, Myrt Shuttleworth and his wife Marlyn of Geneseo; eleven grandchildren and step-grandchildren; twenty-two great-grandchildren and step-great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren. LaDonna was a homemaker, seamstress, bank teller, and sales representative for Mary Kay Cosmetics while living in Lyons. She enjoyed sewing, gardening, and above all she was a prolific quilter, creating numerous quilts and wall hangings throughout her life. A great cook, she could often be found listening to music and performing that silly little dance of hers while preparing meals such as Swiss Steak or baking bread in the oven. She was adventurous and up for anything, such as camping and hiking in Estes Park, Colorado in her early “70s” or vacationing in Breckenridge with her family. A huge sports fan, she loved to watch her children participate in high school gymnastics, football, and wrestling. From the stands you could always hear her high-pitched voice yelling whenever someone made a great play. The Chiefs and Royals were her professional teams, and she was thrilled to be able to go to Kansas City’s Kauffman Stadium one last time to watch the Royals beat Seattle in August 2017. A memorial service will be held in early Spring of 2022 at the First United Methodist Church, Lyons.&nbsp;

Pratt - Roger D. Blasi, age 66, died on Monday, December 6, 2021 at Pratt Regional Medical Center after a sudden illness. He was born on December 30, 1954 in Pratt to Floyd and Marcella (Shaffer) Blasi. He attended Sacred Heart Grade School and graduated from Pratt High School in 1973. Following graduation, he attended a technical school in Omaha, Nebraska where he received training in radiator and air conditioning repair.

He married his high school sweetheart, Cathy (Frazer) Blasi on August 16, 1974. He and Cathy worked side by side as co-owners of Blasi Production Care.

He and Cathy enjoyed traveling to Cripple Creek, Colorado several times a year to spend hours and hours playing blackjack together and simply riding around the mountainsides.

In the last few years, Roger taught himself the art of leathercrafting. He got real pleasure from hand making and hand tooling everything from briefcases, belts, Ipad cases, to intricately-designed purses for close friends.

Kathryn attended Lindsborg schools and graduated from Lindsborg Rural High School. She married Carl J. Frantz of Lindsborg in Durham, NC on April 5, 1944, right before he shipped out with the 35th Infantry Division for Europe. After the war Carl and Kathryn established their home in Lindsborg. 

In 1954 the family moved to McPherson where they lived until 1986 when they returned to Lindsborg. During the years they lived in McPherson, Kathryn worked at Raleigh’s Drug Store and McPherson &amp; Citizens State Bank which later became McPherson Bank and Trust and then Bank IV.
