Donald Lee Stuteville, age 90, of Manhattan, died Wednesday June 9, 2021 at the Meadowlark Hills Retirement Community in Manhattan. He was born on September 7, 1930, on the family farm near Okeene, Oklahoma, the son of Martin Harry Stuteville and Mayme Lee (Herriman) Stuteville. In 1942 his family moved to a farm near Parsons, Kansas, where Don attended a one-room school during grade 7 and 8, and met his future wife. In 1948 he graduated from Parsons High, where he was active in 4-H and also in FFA. He served as the FFA Chapter President for 2 years, he earned the State Farmer Degree, and then also served as the Secretary of the Kansas FFA Association. Don attended Parsons Junior College and graduated in 1950. On September 7, 1952 Don was married to Lorene J. Dringenberg at the First Christian Church of Parsons. Lorene currently resides at Meadowlark Hills Retirement Community in Manhattan. While farming he worked at the Kansas Ordinance Plant near Parsons and later also at the MKT Railroad Shops. He served four years in the US Army MPC; 2 years at the Parsons Reserve Unit and 2 years (1952-1954) on active duty during the Korean War. During this service Don developed lower back weakness, that prevented him from driving the tractor and other farm work. He spent the summer of 1954 in the Wichita Veterans Hospital, where his back issues persisted and he was advised to pursue a more back friendly occupation. Don returned to Parsons and took additional college preparatory courses at the Junior College. Don enrolled at Kansas State University in 1956 and in 1959, he earned his bachelor’s degree, with high honors, in Agriculture. During this time his back problems diminished permitting him to resume farming at Parsons. With success at judging in 4-H and FFA, Don competed for membership on the KSU Poultry and Crops Teams. He made both, which placed first and second respectively at the Chicago International Show. From 1959 to 1961, with the aid of a National Science Fellowship Award, Don earned a Master’s Degree in Agriculture at K-State, with research involving alfalfa pathology. Following his thesis seminar, faculty member Dr. Leon Edmunds asked Don his future plans and suggested that he attend the University of Wisconsin Madison. In Spring of 1964 Don received his Ph.D. in Plant Pathology and accepted an Assistant Professorship at K-State, responsible for teaching and pathology research on turf, fruits and vegetables. A couple of years later, Don was asked to join an alfalfa improvement team composed of USDA Breeder Edgar Sorensen (Don’s advisor for his Master’s research) and entomologists to develop pest and disease resistant cultivars and germplasms. Don was extremely proud of the fact that he had the respect and friendship of all his students, including a few in the department who were incompatible with their original advisors. Don was asked to serve as a faculty advisor for the Thai Student Club, where he served for several years beyond his retirement. Don was a longtime member of the First Christian Church of Manhattan, since his days as a student at KSU. He was preceded in death by his parents, and his sisters, Edith Bailey and Patricia Erskin. Don is survived by his wife Lorene, his daughter Susan Ann Carlson (Mike), his sons Donald Brian Stuteville, and Robert Vincent Stuteville (Becky); also, his grandchildren Jessica, and Eric Carlson, Erin and Alec Stuteville, and Chomphunut Stuteville. The family will greet friends during a visitation from 7:00 until 8:00 p.m. Thursday, June 17 at the Yorgensen-Meloan-Londeen Funeral Home.

Jerry Dishman Sr, 80, Manhattan Kansas, passed away peacefully at home June 10, 2021.

He was born May 16th, 1941, to Calvin and Ruth (Harrison) Dishman in Stockdale, Kansas and went to school in the Manhattan area. Jerry joined the Army in November 1959 where he served with the 4th Armored Division until being honorably discharged November 19, 1964. He was a veteran of the Vietnam Era. Jerry married Belva June Hurst of Carthage, Missouri and remained married to the love of his life until Belva passed away in 2018. Jerry began his work for the City of Manhattan as a teenager working as a summer seasonal worker in 1956. Following his service in the Army, he returned to Manhattan and in 1968 was the Cemetery Foreman for 1 year and then began as a Maintenance Worker until 1974.

Donald Lee Spradling, 88, of Wamego, Kansas, formerly of Topeka, died Thursday, June 3, 2021, at the Home of the Flint Hills.

Don was born on October 2, 1932, in Arkansas City, Kansas, the son of Dale and Evelyn Spradling. He graduated from High School and then entered service in the United States Army during the Korean War. Following his military service, Don earned a degree in Geological Sciences from the University of Wyoming.

Don worked for over thirty years as a cost estimator for Shake Electric in Topeka. He retired in 1987. He was an active member of the Lions Club and volunteered his time collecting glasses and transporting for the Eye Bank. He also was involved in a program tutoring young children in reading. Don was very generous and was known for his willingness to help others. He loved to do woodworking and built furniture, decorative boxes, bowls and other wood projects, all of which he gave to family members and friends. Don enjoyed driving and traveled to various parks and sights across the country and was a Boy Scout Leader while his sons were in the program. Don was very patriotic and loved his country. He also felt strongly that he and Esther’s primary responsibly was to raise their children in a way that they would know the Word of God. His favorite quotes for his children were; “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” and “Remember when you point your finger at someone, there's 3 fingers pointing back at you.”

Don married Esther L. Wonderly on June 22, 1953, in Casper, Wyoming. Their honeymoon was an all-night drive from Casper to Oklahoma so Don could reach his military assignment in time. She preceded him in death on January 11, 2021.

Lisa M. Homman, daughter of Betty and Eldon Hildebrandt, was born September 1, 1970 in Independence, Missouri. She passed away at her home in Abilene on June 8, 2021. Never before has a more caring and loving wife, daughter and mother ever been. Lisa spent her childhood as a “mountain girl” in Colorado and Montana before moving to Kansas with her mother in 1989 where she met her husband on a blind date arranged by mutual friends who thought they would make a “good pair”.

She attended Moffat County schools in Craig, Colorado before moving to Laurel, Montana with her parents where she graduated from Laurel HighSchool in 1989. She later attended Kansas Wesleyan University in Salina, Kansas. Lisa worked at and later managed the Short Stop in Abilene, West’s Country Mart and then, as a pharmacy technician, at Patterson’s Healthcare Pharmacy in Abilene. She spent the later years of her life as a homemaker who loved her husband, two children, mother and dogs deeply. Lisa was preceded in her death by her parents-in-law, Garold and Anne Homman, who treated her like their own daughter. She is survived by her husband, Lance, two children, Dalian and Tabor, and her dogs, Harley and Taz, all of the home, her mother, Betty Hildebrandt, of Salina, her brother Todd Hildebrandt (Kathy) of Salina, and many nephews and nieces. A private memorial service with close friends and family will be held at a time and date to be announced. The family has chosen cremation. Memorials may be offered in Lisa’s name to the charity or organization of the donor’s choice.

Rosie Clarice (Keck) Barnes, age 88, of Manhattan, Kansas, went to her heavenly home Friday, June 4, 2021.

Rosie was born in Oketo, Kansas on August 26, 1932, to parents Clarence and Minnie Keck. She was born at home on the farm, attended by a local rural doctor. Although August 26 was the birth date recorded by Rosie’s mother, the doctor recorded August 29 on the birth certificate. It is assumed the doctor made a mistake since Rosie was one of eleven children born to the couple.

Growing up on the farm, Rosie attended a one-room rural grade school and graduated from Marysville High school. She moved to Manhattan where she attended MCC (formerly Manhattan Bible College) and graduated with an associate degree. She later earned a degree from Manhattan Vocational Technical College and became a Licensed Practical Nurse. Rosie worked as a nurse for nearly 30 years at Via Christi Ascension (formerly St. Mary’s and Mercy Hospital). She was a caring and effective nurse, and she touched many lives during her years of devoted service as a nurse.

Rosie met and married Jack L Barnes while attending Manhattan Bible College. She married Jack on March 16, 1951, and they were happily married for nearly 60 years. She liked to say, “two months short of 60 years is close enough to count”. She served as a minister’s wife while he was a minister early in their marriage.

Jack and Rosie had 4 children: three daughters and a son. She also opened her home to anyone in need including her younger twin sisters, many nieces, nephews, and foster children as well as her own parents. Although Rosie loved all her family, she had a special relationship with each of her grandchildren. Although she would occasionally have cause to gently reprimand them, she would not tolerate criticism of her grandchildren from others. Each grandchild knew they had a strong champion on their side in Grandma Barnes.

Rosie had a life-long love of horses. In her early days on the farm, she and her brother and sisters would climb on the family horse “Prince” and head for the pond where Prince would take 4-5 siblings on his back for a swim. On winter days when it was too cold or snowy to walk to school, they would sometimes ride Prince through the snow to school. Later, when Rosie’s own children were young, a palomino mare named “Silver” became the family horse. She also loved birds, particularly owls and hummingbirds. For many years she carried birdseed through the snow to fill the backyard bird feeders and provided nectar for the hummingbirds in the summers.

A dedicated Christian, Rosie served many years as a treasurer and Sunday School teacher at Crestview Christian Church in Manhattan, was a member and Sunday School teacher at Junction City First Christian Church, and later attended University Christian Church in Manhattan. She raised her children to love God and treat others as they would want to be treated, demonstrating her faith by her service and generosity to others.

Rosie is survived by her children, Deborah (Ron) Lang of Junction City, Kansas, Cindy (Dann) Leach of Valley Center, Kansas, David (Jay) Barnes of Huson, Montana, and Jacque (Brian) Shane of Alta Vista, Kansas; her 9 beloved grandchildren, Scott, Shawn, Jeremy, Michael, Jesse, Ryan, Mathew, Daniel, and Danielle; 9 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great-grandchild; her sisters, Hazel (Arlo) Janzen of Hesston, Kansas, Violet Kelley of Lyons, Kansas, and brother Robert (Shirley) Keck of Mona, Utah.

Rosie Barnes was preceded in death by her husband Jack L. Barnes (2011); her parents: Clarence and Minnie Keck, her siblings: Harold Keck, Glen Keck, Jesse Keck, Kenneth Keck, Maxine (Keck) Snell, June (Keck) Rice, and Jean (Keck) Sipes. A Celebration of Life memorial will be held at a later time. Memorial gifts may be sent to the Children’s Village at Eden Ministries at https://www.eden-ministries.org/&nbsp;&nbsp;
