Perry Allen Koehn was born January 20, 1953 to Allen E. and Betty Koehn in Hutchinson, Kansas. He was called, and ran to the feet of Jesus on November 22, 2023. He was the oldest son of five, three sisters and one brother; Dena (Chet) Womack, Sarah (Brad) Richardson, and Suzie (Gary) McClintock and one brother, Mark.

He attended Obee Grade School, then Buhler High School. At Buhler, he was introduced to the sport of Cross Country. His running career consisted of two scholarships, one with Hutch JUCO, where he was an All American, and one with Wichita State University. His love for sports led him to a career of teaching others to love sports—a PE teacher and coach for 32 years in the Moundridge School District.

Perry accepted the Lord as his Savior at the age of 18 and was baptized at Temple Baptist Church in Hutchinson. Later in his walk with the Lord, it became very apparent to him that there was nothing he could do to save himself, and that the saving grace came through the cross and the sacrifice Jesus made for him. As he read Romans 7, this truth became so real and his walk with the Lord became deeper more meaningful. He was quoted in a periodical from Wichita State University as saying, “Runners seem to get addicted to it. It almost becomes part of their life and can’t be separated. If I don’t get up in the morning and run, I’ll feel guilty all day. It just becomes habit.” This also applied to his walk with the Lord, as he craved his time in the Word each morning, it feeling wrong to miss it.

In 1977 he married Cyndi. They had three children; Ryan (Erin) Koehn, Laurie Koehn, and Clinton (Lindsey) Koehn. Each child brought something new to the family and he was very proud of each one of them. His greatest desire was that they love and serve the Lord. The family grew to a total of 13 with Joshua and Matthew joining Ryan’s family and Colby, Nelsen, Boone and Mary joining Clinton’s. He often commented on how blessed he was to have this family and was in constant prayer for their salvation and growth in their relationships with Christ. He will be missed as a prayer warrior.

After he retired, he became an avid reader of Bible Study Books. He loved the works of the Puritans, Begg, Mac Arthur, Sproul and many others. He listened to Bott radio and AFR all day while painting. Pilgrim’s Progress was a favorite of his and he read the children’s version to his grandchildren. He was always looking for books to give them or read to them that gave them a good overview of the Bible. Overnights stays were punctuated with him reading a bedtime Bible story.

Although this illness was fairly brief, his greatest desire was that Christ be honored. While in the hospital he let everyone who came through the door know that he was saved by the blood of Jesus, and was leaning on His righteous, even the hospital chaplain got the gospel message from him! He ran the race well!

He is preceded in death by his parents and his brother Mark. Survivors include his wife, children, grandchildren, sisters, brothers in law and sisters in law, and many nieces and nephews.

The family would like to the express our humble gratitude to all who prayed for us during this journey. Our extended family, dear friends and many brothers and sisters in Christ have held us up throughout this recent trial. May Christ be honored and glorified as we move forward on our leg of this race.

A celebration of life service will be held at 10 a.m., Tuesday, November 28, 2023 at Garden Community Church, rural Moundridge. The services will be livestreamed at www.youtube.com/@GardenCommunityChurch. Burial will follow at the church cemetery.

Betty Jo Pifer, 89, was born September 20, 1934, in the heart of the Great Depression in Hutchinson, to Claude Waldo and Edna Kathryn (Deidrich) Benbrook. The economic hardships and harsh realities of this time period fostered within Betty the lifelong characteristics of frugality, strong work ethic, and self-sacrifice. Betty instilled these virtues in her seven children in their childhood. She encouraged them to never go in debt and to save all the money they could, because you never knew when a rainy day might come. Betty led by example. She sacrificed to provide the necessary things for her family, but she did not give time or money to the frivolous things of life. Betty co-founded Pifer’s Auto Salvage alongside her husband and sons in 1976. She remained a dedicated businesswoman by keeping books for the business for nearly five decades.

It’s only fitting that Betty’s days on earth would both begin and end in autumn. Betty died November 20, 2023 at her residence in Hutchinson. Fall was her favorite season. She dressed in the colors of the falling leaves because those were her favorite colors– orange, brown, and green. Thanksgiving was a highlight of the fall season for Betty, when Betty would host her seven children and their families for what could only be described as a feast. The house was always bustling with life, and Betty was at the heart of the home making delicious recipes that her family loved. Thanksgiving will forever be a special time for those who loved Betty, because they have those warm memories of her love and hospitality.

Betty loved her family fiercely. She loved deeply and was loyal to the very end. Her love wasn’t passive. Betty demonstrated her love in many ways, but acts of service was quite certainly one of the ways she expressed her love. She never hesitated to do what was in her power to take a load off the shoulders of those she loved. If you had the privilege of being loved by her, you know she passionately believed you and would defend you no matter what. You know the look in her eyes and the way she shook her finger when she talked about any injustice. Although her life wasn’t easy, she fought to make the lives of those around her better. Of all the accomplishments in Betty’s life, her children and grandchildren were no doubt her proudest achievements.

On April 3, 1951 she married Frank Lee Pifer, in Hutchinson. They shared 57 years of marriage, prior to his death on August 13, 2008.&nbsp;

Betty is survived by: sister, Marita Rose Pike of Lakewood, CO; sons, Danny (Debbie) Pifer, Bobby Pifer, Jerry Pifer, Terry Pifer, Kenny Pifer all of Hutchinson, KS; daughter, Sherry (Dawayne) Storm of Lee's Summit, MO; daughter-in-law, Kelli Pifer of Hutchinson, KS; grandchildren, Jason Pifer, Heather Johnson, Jaron Pifer all of Hutchinson, KS, Amy Brawner of South Hutchinson, KS, Melissa Bauerle of Hesston, KS, Jenia VanHorn of Shawnee, KS, Julie Tan of Overland Park, KS, Matthew Storm of Lee’s Summit, MO, and Kathryn Hartzler of Harrisonville, MO, as well as 22 great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by: son, Larry Pifer; husband, Frank Pifer; brothers, Bobby Benbrook, Richard Benbrook; parents, Claude and Edna Benbrook.

Funeral service will be at 10 a.m. Monday, November 27, 2023 at Bethany Church of the Nazarene, 408 N Kent Rd, Hutchinson, KS. Burial will follow in Memorial Park, Hutchinson.

Joanne Lee (Spade) Supernois passed away on November 19, 2023, in her home surrounded by her family.&nbsp; She was born July 29, 1947, to Warren and Wanda (Lewis) Spade in Admire, Kansas. She was the oldest of three children growing up on the family farm.&nbsp; Her parents and brother, Marshall Spade, proceeded her in death.

Joanne taught at Newton High School as the Vocational Office Education Instructor for 32 years, retiring in 2002. Joanne taught numerous business courses at NHS, but her pride and joy were her students in the Office Education Association, later known as the Business Professionals of America, club classes.&nbsp; Every senior she taught held a very special place in her heart.&nbsp; These students became part of her family while they were in her classroom, and she made herself available to them night or day.&nbsp; There wasn’t a business in town that didn’t employ at least one of her students, or multiple, over the course of her career. &nbsp;Joanne was never afraid to take on a new challenge and prided herself on her work ethic.&nbsp; She took on a job at Taco Tico when a class told her she didn’t know what it was like to work with the public.&nbsp; She thought what better way to learn than fast food.&nbsp; Joanne also took on the 3rd&nbsp;hour in-school suspension class, a health occupations class, taught at the alternative school, and sold admission tickets during school plays, concerts, and sporting events.&nbsp; She was always fundraising for OEA/BPA running concession stands and rock-a-thons during those events. After retirement from NHS, she continued to teach various business courses with Hutchinson Community College for 18 years.&nbsp; Joanne loved playing the piano, learning to play at a young age, so she opened her home and taught children as young as 3 to adults as old as 83 up until Covid hit in 2020.&nbsp; She always had an average of 60 students per year for over 50 years.

Joanne earned numerous awards for her work within the community and classroom.&nbsp; Her top accomplishment was in 2013 when she earned the Outstanding Older Worker Award from the Kansas Works Department of Commerce. &nbsp;They held a banquet in her honor in Topeka and she made the 6 o’clock news and numerous newspapers.&nbsp; She said she had truly accomplished it all with that award!

Outside of her passion for teaching, Joanne was a wife, mother, and devoted grandmother. Joanne’s legacy continues with her loving husband of 53 years Jerry, son Mark (Holly) Supernois of Wichita, granddaughters Brianna and Madison of Tempe, AZ, daughter Lisa (Dan) Timmons, granddaughters Marcella and Ashleigh all of Newton, daughter Kristi Bueno, grandson Alexander all of Newton.&nbsp; Other survivors include her sister-in-law Jan Spade of Emporia and sister Susan (Ed) Ryan of Hoyt along with numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
