Judith Ann (Vickrey) White was born January 22, 1945 in Emporia, Kansas, to Abner H. Vickrey and Margaret Mae (Burris) Vickrey and passed away November 11, 2023. Their family moved to Canton, Kansas, when Judy was 3 years old. She met James White, her future husband, when he was in the eighth grade and she was in seventh. 

The high school sweethearts married on August 9, 1964, and started their married life in Fort Hood, Texas, where James was stationed in the Army. Once he was discharged, they moved back to Canton to the farmstead they still call home. 

Judy was a city kid so farming and raising cattle were all new to her, but with the help of James and her father-in-law, George, she learned to drive the tractor and wheat trucks with the best of them. No cowboy could outwork her, and her favorite time was watching young calves run around the pasture with their tails in the air. 

For many years, she made custom decorated cakes for weddings, birthdays, graduations, and more. This filled her spare time when she wasn't farming, sitting on the back of the flatbed shaking cubes out to the cattle or trying to keep her kids in line. 

Judy was preceded in death by their stillborn son, Jay, and her brother, Abner A. Vickrey. 

Judy is survived by James; son Justin and his wife, Adrianna, of Canton; daughter Jennifer and her husband, Ty Theurer, of Coldwater; as well as granddaughters Haylee (RodRick) Seeber and Emily White; grandsons Grant and Grady Theurer; and great-grandsons Augustus Seeber and baby boy Seeber due in March. Her brother Larry Vickrey of McPherson also survives. 

A graveside service will be held at 2 p.m., November 20, 2023, at the Canton Township Cemetery. 

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials be sent to Pine Village of Moundridge, in care of Olson's Mortuary, Canton.

On November 8, 2023, Eunice Jane Unruh Esau left us to join her loved ones with Jesus in heaven. She was born to Harrison and Anna (Schroeder) Unruh in Hillsboro, Kansas, on Dec. 23, 1928, an early Christmas present. Having a birthday around Christmas wasn’t always a joy for Eunice. As a child, she would often plan her birthday during the summer inviting friends over and forgetting to inform her parents until after the guests started arriving at their farm between Durham and Hillsboro. But that was Eunice: full of ideas fueled by her high energy. Being the youngest, she might even have been spoiled by her two older brothers, Chester and Allen, and her older sister, Dorothy.

Things changed when Dorothy married Reinhold Schmidt and started her family. Eunice was still in grade school, but spent much of her time babysitting her nephew, Randy, and niece, Betta Ruth.

Eunice attended the Hillsboro schools and often would spend the winters with family in town. She especially enjoyed her cousin, Sylvia. They got into many scrapes together since both were ornery and boy crazy.

Eunice graduated from high school and attended Bethel College for two years where she met and married a handsome blonde, Willis “Cot” Esau, whom she first noticed on the Bethel College basketball team. They were married on the third floor of the administration building in the chapel on the Bethel College campus in 1948. Living in student housing and finishing up college found them busy as Eunice was working as a secretary to get “Cot” through college. Upon graduation, they moved to Ransom, Kansas where they had their first child, Sherry Sue. Willis was teaching high school chemistry and coaching. His second job was in Osage City where Eunice gave birth to Rex Dale.

With two children in tow, Eunice and Willis moved to Kansas City, where “Cot” attended UMKC School of Dentistry, and Eunice continued to mother while selling Tupperware. Vickie Lynn was born during this time. Their last move to Hutchinson was where Dr. W. R. Esau set up his practice and Eunice ran the household. Todd was born in 1963, and the family was complete.

Eunice wisely insisted her children were raised in the church. She attended First Mennonite in Hutchinson until she passed away. She was active, serving in many capacities, and always baking lots of zweibach which she would deliver to any guests inclined to visit her church or sell at the MCC Sale in the spring. Eunice was a friend to all. She never knew a stranger which was demonstrated by her conversational gifts. Often on family vacations, she would know everyone before leaving the resort. People fascinated her. Even in the last five years, when she suffered from dementia, she found joy in sitting in the lobby of the nursing home watching people come in and out of the building and greeting them with a friendly, “hi.”

Life blessed Eunice and Cot with 4 children, 11 grandchildren, 18 great grandchildren and many friends who were like family. Eunice has watched many friends and family, including her beloved husband, Cot (2016) leave this earth, and now we can only imagine the celebration welcoming Eunice into heaven.

Her family was blessed to have a mother/mother-in-law, and grandmother with her energy and lust for life. Children are Sherry (Mark) Krehbiel of Salina, Rex (Connie) Esau of Austin, Vickie (Bob) Howard of Kansas City, and Todd (Julie) Esau of Hutchinson. Grandchildren are Mindy Burr, Kyle (Kara) Krehbiel, Jacob (Erin) Krehbiel, Kateisha (Fabian) Porta, Cole (Meghan) Esau, Travis (Jenni) Howard, Straton (Caroline) Howard, Halie (C.J.) Heinz, Jordan (Ashley) Esau, Natasha Esau, and Michaela Esau.

We will miss our mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend. We will miss her kisses, her eyes lighting up when we visited, and her winks. Yes, those special winks. There was one for everyone.

A memorial service will be held at 11:00 A.M. on Saturday, November 25, 2023 at First Mennonite Church, 52 Rambler Rd., Hutchinson, Kansas. Inurnment will take place in the columbarium at First Mennonite Church.

 </figure>On November 8, 2023, Eunice Jane Unruh Esau left us to join her loved ones with Jesus in heaven. She was born to Harrison and Anna (Schroeder) Unruh in Hillsboro, Kansas, on Dec. 23, 1928, an early Christmas present. Having a birthday around Christmas wasn’t always a joy for Eunice. As a child, she would often plan her birthday during the summer inviting friends over and forgetting to inform her parents until after the guests started arriving at their farm between Durham and Hillsboro. But that was Eunice: full of ideas fueled by her high energy. Being the youngest, she might even have been spoiled by her two older brothers, Chester and Allen, and her older sister, Dorothy.Things changed when Dorothy married Reinhold Schmidt and started her family. Eunice was still in grade school, but spent much of her time babysitting her nephew, Randy, and niece, Betta Ruth.Eunice attended the Hillsboro schools and often would spend the winters with family in town. She especially enjoyed her cousin, Sylvia. They got into many scrapes together since both were ornery and boy crazy.Eunice graduated from high school and attended Bethel College for two years where she met and married a handsome blonde, Willis “Cot” Esau, whom she first noticed on the Bethel College basketball team. They were married on the third floor of the administration building in the chapel on the Bethel College campus in 1948. Living in student housing and finishing up college found them busy as Eunice was working as a secretary to get “Cot” through college. Upon graduation, they moved to Ransom, Kansas where they had their first child, Sherry Sue. Willis was teaching high school chemistry and coaching. His second job was in Osage City where Eunice gave birth to Rex Dale.With two children in tow, Eunice and Willis moved to Kansas City, where “Cot” attended UMKC School of Dentistry, and Eunice continued to mother while selling Tupperware. Vickie Lynn was born during this time. Their last move to Hutchinson was where Dr. W. R. Esau set up his practice and Eunice ran the household. Todd was born in 1963, and the family was complete.Eunice wisely insisted her children were raised in the church. She attended First Mennonite in Hutchinson until she passed away. She was active, serving in many capacities, and always baking lots of zweibach which she would deliver to any guests inclined to visit her church or sell at the MCC Sale in the spring. Eunice was a friend to all. She never knew a stranger which was demonstrated by her conversational gifts. Often on family vacations, she would know everyone before leaving the resort. People fascinated her. Even in the last five years, when she suffered from dementia, she found joy in sitting in the lobby of the nursing home watching people come in and out of the building and greeting them with a friendly, “hi.”Life blessed Eunice and Cot with 4 children, 11 grandchildren, 18 great grandchildren and many friends who were like family.

Barbara Wiegand |1956-2023|

Eldon Edward Pauls was born to Ed and Louise (Edigar) Pauls March 10, 1932 in Moundridge KS in McPherson County. Religion played an important part in the Pauls family and he attended church and Sunday School at Hoffnungsau Mennonite Church all his early years. He attended school in McPherson County starting at Peaceful elementary and graduated from Moundridge High School in 1951. He enjoyed sports and agricultural classes in school and in 1952, traveled to Denver Colorado to do voluntary service at General Rose Hospital for 2 years. While there, Eldon discovered snow skiing and ice skating, spending a great deal of time among friends.

After coming home from Denver, he worked for Ediger Brother’s as well as Clinton Schmidt in construction. He also worked for Bell Telephone in Hutchinson. In 1955 when the offer came to farm with his brother Irv in Western Kansas, he did not hesitate. He and his brother worked together in Kalvesta and them formed a partnership and moved their operation to Ulysses, Kansas. While there they had their first experience farming with irrigation. They raised several crops that were new to them, including sugar beets and castor beans. They also raised a herd of sheep and fed cattle.

Eldon met Allene Ivy Day in Wichita, a friend and co-worker of this brother Herb’s wife, Joleen. Thus began a long distance romance that culminated in a marriage September 17th of 1961, after a year of dating. Starting their new life together in an old army barracks was an adventrue to be sure with lots of fun along the way with Irvin and his family living close by. They continued to farm and began a family with the adoption of Merrile Elaine in August of 1963. In 1964, a move to Garden City occurred due to a physician’s recommendation to leave farming related to a bad back. He worked there at St. Catherine’s Hospital in maintenance and also at Oswald’s Manufacturing and Ansel Cab doing welding. In February of 1966 they added to their family with the adoption of Luellen Joy.

In 1968, Eldon moved his family to Dodge City to begin work at BJ Manufacturing to continue to pursue a career in welding. There they purchased a ½ acre land plot and built a new home, which at that time was out of the city limits but was later annexed in to town. Soon after the cattle business dipped and BJ Manufacturing had a large lay off that included Eldon. He soon found work in the maintenance and grounds department at the Dodge City Community College. He continued his work there until he retired 23 years later in 1994. At the start of his employment the campus was brand new and Eldon participated in the building of dormitories, the Diseal mechanics building, the addition to the Fine Arts building, the Horse Science building and mentoring young athletes every year, who were under his tutelage.

All the while, at home, Eldon maintained a yard and garden that was the envy of the neighborhood ( the local police were especially interested in the large poppy crop) and encouraged his daughters to work in and enjoy the outdoors and nature. Always, from the time of birth, Eldon encouraged his daughters in their spiritual lives by providing an exemplary example of Christian Life. The family attended church at the College Heights Nazarene Church. Eldon served there as usher and on the Board of Trustees Many good times were shared with piano recitals, band performances and musicals as music was always valued in the Pauls home. Education was also an avenue encouraged and provided to his kids through college. In is own words, when asked what spiritual legacy he would like to leave, he responded, “The strength from the Lord I drew when I started farming on my own with Irv and when I had cancer. The Lord’s love for me and the never ending strength. I would like this dependence on the Lord to be passed to my children so that one day we can have a glorious reunion in Heaven.” Later he would say this included his grandchildren as well. Lou and her husband traveled to Kazakhstan to adopt two boys, Alex and Grant, from an orphanage there. Eldon supported the boys by attending their sporting events and all the other extracurricular and church activities as well as their love of mechanics.

In 2004, after they they moved to Hutchinson KS, they began to attend the South Hutchinson Mennonite Church, now known as Journey Mennonite. They developed friendships there that have lasted nearly 20 years by being involved in grow groups along the way. In their years together as a

family many happy times were spent in the Colorado Rockies and other Mountain ranges, their vacations in Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, North and South Dakota and Wyoming as well as the well deserved trip for Eldon and Allene to England to meet her family there. They did everything together and now, they are together again for part of the glorious reunion he looked forward to so much.

Lyla Bybee, age 72 of Wichita Kansas passed away peacefully November 2, 2023 surrounded by her loving family.&nbsp; Lyla was born in Morrilton, Arkansas on July 24, 1951 to Charlie and Dean (McDonald) Pruitt and in later years Grandma Dean came to live with Lyla and John until her death in 2021.

Lyla was preceded in death by her loving husband John Bybee, her parents Charlie and Dean, and daughters Vicki Dresslaer and Sherry Hubble.

Lyla is survived by daughter, Jennifer Baird (Kirk) of Valley Center; son Terry Norton (Dana) of Wichita; brother Ray Pruitt (Alta) of Hattieville, AR; son-in-law Jim Dresslaer of Wichita along with a number of grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren as well as nieces and nephews.

Lyla was always up for an adventure. Lyla loved to travel and has gone many places with John or weekend retreats with her Sorority Sisters even taking an Alaskan cruise with the Dutch oven gang. But the best of all were the mega sleepovers with the grandchildren! One of the most memorable memories for most of her grandchildren was when Nana bought her light up shoes so she could match theirs.&nbsp;

As the children and grandchildren grew up and with the death of John in 2016 Lyla wanted and needed something to fill the empty void she felt. Lyla began to focus on volunteering at many of the local charities and her biggest focus was with the biker community.... It didn’t take long until she was known as “Naughty Nana.” Lyla did everything from collecting socks for the veterans to crocheting hats for the children in the hospital to rocking the pavement in the ARC Sedgwick County Motorcycle rides, not to mention her “adopt a family” at Christmas time.&nbsp;But Lyla was best known for the “Naughty Nana Turkey Rides.” Lyla came up with the idea to make and deliver Thanksgiving dinners to those in need and needless to say it was a big hit and is now going on its eighth year!

In 2022 Lyla was honored in having a “Toy Run” named after her known as “Naughty Nana’s Santa Ride.”

Lyla will always be remembered for her love of people and what she could do to make their lives happier and the way she always stepped up without asking why. We couldn’t have asked for a better parent, grandparent, sister or friend, and we'll miss Lyla every day.&nbsp;Lyla’s memory will live on in the hearts of all those who knew and loved her.&nbsp; In lieu of flowers, you may designate to Lyla's Memorial, (in care of Baker Funeral Home PO Box 242, Valley Center, Kansas 67147.)

Her Celebration of Life will be held in the springtime, time and date to be announced.

Condolences may be left for the family at <a href="http://www.bakerfhvc.com">www.bakerfhvc.com</a>.

Richard “Dick” Bartel, 95, of Valley Center, Kansas, passed away on Saturday, November 4, 2023. He was born December 11, 1927 to Jacob and Ida (Unruh) Bartel in Hillsboro, Kansas. He was the youngest of five children and grew up on the family farm north of Lehigh, Kansas. He graduated from Lehigh High School in 1945. During his youth his main sport was fast-pitch softball where he was a pitcher and played for many town teams around Marion County. One of his favorite stories to share was about showing up in a grain truck to his games. After high school he farmed and ranched and was proud of his registered Black Angus cattle herd.

In 1949 he married the local bookkeeper for the Lehigh Co-op Elevator, Ethel Dalke. They farmed for several more years before moving to Newton, Kansas where Dick was employed in the collections department for a finance company. In 1963 they purchased a Western Auto Store in Valley Center and moved into town. They continued to operate a hardware business until 2021.

Dick enjoyed fishing, water skiing, boating and his lake house on Table Rock Lake. He and Ethel also enjoyed charter bus trips and traveled throughout the country. Dick was always in search of a good visit and could talk to anyone at length. He didn’t know a stranger.

One of his greatest involvements was with the local Lions Club where he had been a member since 1964. He served on all levels within the club and was a Melvin Jones Recipient for his years of service to the club and the community. He was one of the best recruiters of new members and was short of his goal of a 100 member group at the time of his death.

He is preceded in death by his parents Jacob and Ida Bartel, brothers Art, Walter and Harrison, sister Mabel, infant son Richard K. and his wife of 72 years, Ethel.

He is survived by two sons and their wives, Mike and Charolette, Tom and Lynn, all of Valley Center, grandchildren Sarah and Benjie Wolter, Nathan Bartel, Kristen Bartel, Michael Hodson, Jennifer and Joe Anaya, Stephanie and Brad Blessen and ten great grandsons.

A Memorial Service will be held at 11:00 am, Saturday, November 11 at the First United Methodist Church, 560 N. Park, Valley Center, Kansas.

Memorials may be designated in his memory to Menocause, payable to Menocause Central Ks Community Foundation, Attention: Menocause 400 S Main St Suite 100, Newton KS 67114.
