Gilbert "Gib" Ray Lane |2024|

Frieda Hilda Harder was born on a farm east of Inman, Kansas to John W. and Anna (Doerksen) Wiens on June 8, 1926.&nbsp; She was the oldest and only daughter, followed by her three brothers, Ernie, Wilbur and Edwin.&nbsp; They all attended Inman Grade School and graduated from Inman High School.&nbsp; She was a lifelong Inman resident until her passing on Tuesday, January 30, 2024, at the age of 97 years.

Growing up, Frieda’s parents had cows and she would often enjoy milking them.&nbsp; She enjoyed it so much she would bribe her brothers with a piece of pie as a trade to milk the cows.&nbsp; Of course, they gladly accepted this.&nbsp; A neighbor’s cow got out of the pasture and ran straight for Frieda when she was younger, playing in the sandpile on the north side of their home.&nbsp; She got ran over by the cow and became scared, but luckily wasn’t hurt.

She remembered traveling to Colorado Springs with the H.E. Kroeker family and how much fun she had on that trip.&nbsp; They stayed in cabins and cooked all their meals together.

Her parents were custodians for Bethel Mennonite Church.&nbsp; Frieda would often help her parents with their duties.&nbsp; They were faithful members of the church and Frieda taught Sunday School for many years at Bethel Church and Crestview Bible Church where she was a current member.&nbsp; In all, she taught over 30 years of Bible School.

Frieda really enjoyed working in the Telephone Office in Inman, where she worked for a number of years.&nbsp; She also worked for Johnson Produce candling eggs.&nbsp; She loved Saturday evenings when friends would come to visit or go into the stores.&nbsp; Frieda enjoyed dressing up and going to the place she worked just to relax and visit with people.&nbsp; She had worked in a café on Main Street, washing dishes and making hamburgers.&nbsp; Frieda saved up money from this job to purchase most of the furniture when she and Millie were first married.

She was united in marriage to Milford John “Millie” Harder on October 14, 1951 in Inman. From this union, five children were born.&nbsp; Their first son, Gary Lee, lived only three days until the Lord took him Home.&nbsp;

Frieda and Millie went on to have four more children, Allen, Alice, Jeanette and Jane. All of their children were all married at Crestview Bible Church in Hutchinson, Kansas, by the same pastor, Rodney Goertzen.

She and Millie shared 66 years of marriage together before his passing on August 27, 2017.

Frieda was very thankful the Lord had led her, Millie, and their family on their journey through life.&nbsp; She was grateful for God’s blessings and guidance in her and her family’s lives.&nbsp; Frieda will be remembered and missed by the residents at Pleasant View Home, as many would hear her say “Amen” and “Praise the Lord” when they would walk past her open door.

She is survived by her son, Allen (Miriam) Harder of Omaha, NE; daughters, Alice (Tim) Koehn of Okeene, OK, Jeanette (Gary) Freel of Clovis, CA, and Jane (Scott) Schriner of Inman; 11 grandchildren; 20 great-grandchildren; and brothers, Wilbur (Reta) Wiens of Inman, and Edwin (Twila) Wiens of Houston, TX.

Frieda was preceded in death by her husband; parents; son, Gary Lee Harder; and brother, Ernie Wiens.

Cremation is planned with memorial services to be held at 11 a.m., Saturday, July 6, 2024 at the Pleasant View Home Chapel, 108 N Walnut, Inman, Kansas, 67546.  Private burial will take place at North Inman Cemetery.  Memorial contributions may be made to Pleasant View Home in care of Buhler Mortuary, PO Box 589, Buhler, KS 67522.

Leona M. Whited Bratcher |1929-2024|

Dr. Charlotte Anne Siemens, 64, died peacefully in North Newton, Kansas, under hospice care on May 31, 2024, surrounded by family.

Charlotte was born on January 29, 1960, to Richard and Frances Siemens. Although she would boast that her birthday was Kansas Day, Charlotte was actually born in Seattle, Washington. &nbsp;She grew up in Lyons, Kansas, with younger brother, Douglas Todd.

After graduating from Bethel College, North Newton, Kansas, Charlotte attended medical school at the University of Kansas, completing a residency in Wichita and a fellowship in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin.&nbsp;

Charlotte began dating David Sprunger in 1978, and they were married by Rev. Marvin Zehr on June 25, 1988. The couple raised three children: Samuel Warren, Jacob William, and Anna Elizabeth.

Charlotte dedicated her career to working with children, young adults, and their families, practicing child and adolescent psychiatry in Fargo, North Dakota, for 28 years. When she retired from full-time practice, she was running a partial-hospitalization program for Sanford Medical Center where she also enjoyed working with medical students. She was proud to receive the James E. Mitchell, M.D., outstanding teacher award in 2019. In 2020, after Charlotte and David returned to Kansas, Charlotte worked part-time at Prairie View. Even as her health failed, she hoped to return to practice, so she could follow her patients’ progress.

Charlotte took great pleasure in cooking and baking, especially as a creative and social activity. In Fargo, she participated in a gourmet club with like-minded women who gathered monthly to prepare elaborate meals and enjoy each other’s company. Each summer she looked forward to using her garden produce to prepare gallons of salsa and Italian sauce. One year, she entered some of her salsas in the Cass County fair and emerged with a blue ribbon for tomato salsa and a Reserve Champion award for her peach salsa. As she and David designed their new house in North Newton, she made sure it featured a spacious kitchen, optimized for group cooking.&nbsp;

Charlotte felt a special connection to the natural world. She tried to walk daily, and her favorite indoor places were full of plants. Time spent hiking and fishing at the family cabin in southwest Colorado brought her particular joy. In Fargo, she participated in city xeriscape programs and one year even arranged for an adjusted work schedule in order to attend classes for certification as a master gardener. Family trips were not complete without visits to local botanical gardens. It is not surprising that she and David were married outdoors with Wichita’s Botanica in its early summer glory. In her final moments, she was covered with a quilt depicting irises and butterflies with a border of sunflowers, her favorite flower.

Charlotte was predeceased by her parents. She is survived by husband, David Sprunger (North Newton, Kansas); children Sam (Ellie) Sprunger (Maple Grove, Minnesota), Jacob (Alžběta Lutzká) Sprunger (Hustopeče, Czech Republic), Anna Sprunger (Middleton, Wisconsin); grandchild Harvey Sprunger; and brother Doug (Lu Ann Zook) Siemens (Newton, Kansas).&nbsp;

A memorial service will be held June 22, 2024, at 11 a.m. at the Bethel College Mennonite Church, preceded by a private inurnment service. The memorial service will be live streamed.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to Bethel College.

With profound sorrow and yet immense gratitude for the time shared, we announce the passing of Gibbs Denning Schmalzried. &nbsp;Gibby was born in north Kansas City on July 31, 2017, leaving this world on June 5, 2024. Gibbs, affectionately known by many nicknames including Gibby, Gibby Dean, Deaner, and Little Mike, was a beacon of light in the lives of all who knew him. His cherubic, squishy cheeks and infectious smile made every greeting a joyous occasion.

Gibby never needed words to communicate; his expressions and spirit spoke volumes. He had an uncanny ability to convey his moods, from the delightful thrill of companionship to the urgent need for his beloved Mea, his ever-faithful dog. A lover of sunshine and giggle-inducing zerberts, Gibby's happiness was as radiant and warming as the sun itself.

Gibbs excelled in the art of relaxation, a true lounge rat who cherished snuggles with family. Television provided Gibbs with a window to joy. He was an avid fan of nostalgic shows like "Alf," "The Brady Bunch," "Full House," and "Little House on the Prairie," but his true comfort came from watching "Daniel Tiger," a show that reflected his own gentle, yet vibrant nature.

Music was a universal language for Gibbs. He adored Wynonna's songs, particularly "Flies on the Butter," and thrived in his adaptive music class in Wichita, where Mrs. Aubrie and Mr. Kenny embraced him with open arms, enriching his life through Zoom. And while he might have had mixed feelings about his mother Amber’s constant serenades, her voice was a constant, comforting presence in his life.

Some of his favorite moments were spent playing video games with his brother Garreth and sharing suckers/popsicles with his sister Rhiesa. He also loved spending time in the sun with Melissa, and no one looked better in sunglasses than Gibby.

Gibby’s life, though brief, was a masterclass in unconditional love. His pure, radiant spirit transcended any limitations, leaving a lasting impact on everyone fortunate enough to know him. He taught us the beauty of simple joys and the profoundness of unspoken bonds.

We are forever grateful for the time we had with Gibbs, whose essence was as pure and bright as the sun. His memory will continue to illuminate our lives, reminding us of the profound impact of love and the joy found in every smile and snuggle.

The family is grateful for those of you who took the time to get to know sweet Gibby. &nbsp;We don’t regret not sharing him with those who didn’t take the time to know his precious soul. &nbsp; &nbsp;

Left with an enormous void in their heart are his loving parents John and Amber, Sterling, brothers Wilkerson, Olathe, Garreth and Rayf of the home, his sister Rhiesa of the home, his caregiver and bonus mom Melissa of the home, and last but not least his dog Mea. &nbsp;Also left to mourn him are his grandma Emilie Schmalzried, Dighton, meem Janet Offutt, Dighton, aunt and uncle Ashley and Iver Tokoi, Abilene, and several aunts, uncles, lots of cousins, and other extended family. &nbsp; &nbsp;

Gibby was welcomed home by his grandpa Francis Schmalzried along with great grandpa Raymond and great grandma Ina Bell Wilkerson.

Funeral service will be 10:00 Saturday, June 8, 2024, at Elliott Mortuary. Graveside service will be 3:00 Saturday, June 8, 2024, in Dighton Cemetery, Dighton. Friends may sign the book from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, at Elliott Mortuary. Family will greet friends from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Saturday, June 8, 2024, at Elliott Mortuary.

Brandi Nichole McCurdy departed this life at the age of 41 years old. She was born October 2, 1982, to Carin and Vernon McCurdy in Newton, KS. She accepted Christ into her life as she was a true Christian.&nbsp;

Brandi is loved by so many people. But most of all Brandi loved her family. Even through down times, she might get mad, but she would never stop loving her family no matter what. She loved her daughter Echo so very much. Not a day went by her daughter wasn’t mentioned. She would always say I am so proud of Echo. Her grandkids Ella and Emma were her whole heart and loved them so very much. She would protect the ones she loved even if she was mad at them. She was her own self, she had her own slang, for example: I miss your freaking face, I love you big, or she would laugh if she thought something was funny and she would say, “your stupid”. But in a nice way. There were so many, but it was the way she said. Let’s talk about her laugh. No one had a laugh like Brandi. You always knew when she was around without seeing her just by her laugh. Brandi didn’t care what people thought of her. The only time that she did care is if it involved her loved ones. She made sarcastic remarks after everything you said to her which made the conversation interesting. She would always make you laugh and even harder when she started laughing. We can go on and on about how much she is a joy to be around but the memories that our family have made in 41 years of her life will live on and never be forgotten.

Brandi’s Fiancé Jason was her rock, and she would say. She loved him more than anyone she had ever had a relationship with. The kind of love she had for him was different. She called him her husband and she would always say, “That is my man, my rock, my husband. And when he isn’t around, she says how lonely she felt without him, depressed cause she misses him and always plans to surprise him when he comes home. They did everything together. They had true love, and that kind of love will always live on through Jason’s heart and memories they have shared. They shared a dog together that she loved so much. Sam, she loved that dog.

Brandi had hobbies or wait should we call them obsessions or even fetishes. Pens, she had more pens than anyone she knew. Every color, and style. She would know if a pen was taken. And she will say, “did you take my pen or pens? As her daughter Echo would say. “NO, laughing about it because they are sitting in a drawer. She loved her pens. Notebooks, where to get started on that one. She loved writing. She will just sit there and write what comes to her head even if it is someone’s name. She will write something little on one page and start a new one or a new notebook. Purses, she has purses. Lots of them. She loves her some purses, and most of them have something in them. Bags, little or big she must have them. And of course, most of them have stuff in them as well. And remind you she never gets rid of them. She keeps them all. Clothes, she has so many clothes she can have her own clothes store, but she just adds on to what she already has.&nbsp;

Brandi passed away Thursday May 30th at 4:16pm. She died from Toxic Pancreatitis. She was very sick. She had been dealing with this illness for a couple of months and as she would tell her family she was tired of being in pain. She was tired of being sick all the time. She didn’t have energy and she just wanted to sleep. Well Brandi, you are now free from being in pain, sick, and you are in a better place. You will live on through memories and you will be missed terribly, as you would say we will miss your face. We love you BIG! We will see you again in another life!

Kennedy, brother to the President of the United States, and Sargent Shriver, Director of the Peace Corps, as they visited the inaugural sites of the Peace Corps in the early 1960s.

Barbara continued her education in anthropology and archeology at a graduate level at the University of Kansas, Mexico, and at Exeter in England. And outside of formal structured education, Barbara traveled with her parents for archeological digs in Southwest United States and Mexico.

Barbara’s life was surrounded by her Native American heritage and belief system.&nbsp; Her love of nature, the imperative of protecting the earth, climate and all of creation were primary influences for her decision making. Barbara loved animals, and they were important companions to her at every stage of her life. From a 40 year old mare at the western Kansas farm of her father’s family, to the milk cows at the central Kansas farm of her other grandparents, and her faithful loving cat, Victoria, by her side in the final years of her life, she lived in harmony with nature and thrived in those relationships.

Barbara later taught at Baker University and Ottawa University in Kansas.&nbsp; On December 27, 1981, Barbara married Leroy Buskirk, and they made their home near Lindsborg, KS. They raised a big garden and marketed produce in the area.&nbsp; Both Barbara and Leroy were talented singers and for many years, sang with the Bethany College Oratorio Society in performances of Handel’s Messiah and Bach’s St Matthew’s Passion.&nbsp; She continued her love of singing until her death.
