father gave him a bus ticket and $25 and he headed west where he would spend
the rest of his life as a Kansan. He did return to PA while completing his
Masters Degree in Biology from Penn State.

At Sterling College, Charlie
excelled in football, basketball and baseball and one of his proudest moments
was being inducted into the Sterling Sports Hall of Fame as a Tri-Letterman in
1998. At Sterling he met his future wife, Carol McCullough from College
Springs, Iowa and after graduating and spending two years in the Army Medical
Corps, he followed Carol to Great Bend, KS where they both began long and
successful careers as educators. They married and had 4 daughters, raising them
in the First United Presbyterian Church. Carol passed in 2003 from Lymphoma.

Charlie taught Biology at
Great Bend High School and continued to enjoy athletics as assistant coach for
football and basketball, and learning the game of golf. In 1970 he was hired as
a Life Sciences Instructor at Barton County Community College when he taught
the rest of his career. During his many years as an outstanding, dedicated
educator, he was admired and respected by his peers, his students and his
community. In 1965 he was presented the first Outstanding Young Educator by the
Junior Chamber of Commerce, and in 1985, he was honored with the BCCC
Distinguished Instructor Award. He appreciated the personal communication,
updates and success stories from those many students he taught and mentored
over his career more than any award and enjoyed the invitations to many GBHS
class reunions as a highlight of each year of his retirement.

Active in the community, he
was a member and Past Master of Great Bend Masonic Lodge #15, of the American
Legion post no. 180 in Great Bend, and member of the Lake Barton Golf Club. He
served several terms as Elder at The First United Presbyterian Church and
multiple other leadership positions. He had a wide circle of friends from
teaching, church, hunting, Lake Barton Golf Club and played with the same
bridge group for 40 years. He turned his athletic abilities to golf and spent
countless weekends with the golf buddies – even winning the Lake Barton Open
Golf Tournament in 1975 out of 150 participants. His hole in one was one of his
favorite life accomplishments.

Charlie Brown was lucky. Ruth
and Bob Dixon were friends of Charlie’s and Carol’s since Sterling College
days.&nbsp; Ruth was Carol’s life-long best
friend since their early grade school days in Iowa. They shared many life
experiences, knew well each other’s children and all had a strong faith in
God.&nbsp; When Bob Dixon passed away
suddenly, Charlie was there to be supportive of Ruth, and through that support,
they grew to love each other and were married in 2006.

Charles T. Brown, Jr. is
survived by his wife, Ruth, his stepsons Bob and Steve Dixon, his daughters
Beverly (Brad) Burnside, Barbara Brown, Cheryl (Mike) Gage and Charlene (Jim)
Lee, his 12 loving grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren.

As you walk down the fairway of life, you must smell
the roses, for you only get to play one round – Ben Hogan.

The family will have a
private service. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Charles Brown
Scholarship at BCCC, in care of Bryant Funeral Home. If family and friends want

GREAT BEND - Dorothy “Dottie” Anna (Dreher) Schmidt, 92, died on April 20, 2020, at the University of Kansas Health System – Great Bend Campus. Dorothy “Dottie” was born November 19, 1927, in Rush County, to Phillip P. and Mary (Herrman) Dreher. She was the third oldest of 7 children. Dorothy married Leo J. Schmidt on January 13, 1947, in St. Anthony Catholic Church in Schoenchen. He preceded her in death on July 13, 2014.

After her marriage, Dorothy moved to Great Bend, and this is where she and Leo raised their family. Faith was a big part of her life; she attended services regularly at St. Patrick Catholic Church. She was a homemaker, doting on her husband and children. She was a terrific German cook, making most things from scratch. Her family loved her homemade bierocks, golari, kuchen, pies, and cakes to name a few. She was known for making homemade noodles by laying sheets on every flat surface in the house and her children helped by running the noodle dough through her trusty noodle maker and flipping the noodles while they were drying. Dorothy made dozens of cookies each Christmas and her children were sent to deliver boxes of cookies to their neighbors. She also canned cucumbers, tomatoes, and made homemade jellies. 

Dorothy took up golf later in life and enjoyed playing with her family and friends. She didn’t hit far, but always straight as an arrow – like she lived. She attended hundreds of sporting events, maybe thousands. She traveled, visiting her children and took trips with friends to see Niagra Falls and other places. She also enjoyed playing bingo with her friends and daughters, even taking road trips to Oklahoma. She was proud of her family and all their accomplishments. Dottie spent her last years at Riverbend Assisted Living Center where the caring staff and residents became her second family. 

Surviving are her six children, Dianna Koerner of Hays, George Schmidt (Sallie) of Fort Smith, Ark., Karen Harper (Steve) of Goodyear, Ariz., Mike Schmidt (Debbie) of Timnath, Colo., Patricia “Trish” Schartz of Great Bend (fiancé Nathan McDonald of Ness City), and Joan Barrett (Jeff) of Charlotte, NC; twelve grandchildren; fifteen great grandchildren; three great great grandchildren; and one sister, Almita Augustine of Salina. She was preceded in death by her parents; two brothers, Julius Dreher, and C.J. Dreher; and three sisters, Alice Orth, Thelma Karlin, and Darlene Leiker. 

Visitation will be held from 3:00 to 9:00 p.m., Thursday, April 23, 2020, at Bryant Funeral Home. A private rosary will be held at 9:30 a.m., Friday, April 24, 2020, at Bryant Funeral Home, with livestream available under Dorothy’s obituary at www. bryantfh.net. A Private Mass of Christian Burial will follow at 10:30 a.m., with Father Don Bedore presiding, and recording will be available to view that afternoon at www.bryantfh.net under Dorothy’s obituary. Interment will be in the Great Bend Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested to the Holy Family School Endowment Fund, in care of Bryant Funeral Home.
