John
Eldon Thompson — 1936-2020 
 
Following
a weekend spent with family, including his grandchildren, great grandchildren,
and his wife of 62 years, Billie, Pawnee County native and lifelong Burdett
resident John Thompson, 84, passed on October 14. Born March 20, 1936, he was
the son of John “Howard” and Doris “Jean” (Bindley) Thompson.&nbsp;

John was a quintessential Kansas farmer and rancher. When his
hands weren’t in the soil, he was an active member of the Faith Fellowship
Church in Hanston. He was committed to his Christian faith, actively answering
the call by participating in bible studies and assisting with children’s
ministries. He had a passion for reading, history, bicycling, planting, K-State
sports and volunteering with the Lions Club. John’s numerous bike rides across
Kansas, Missouri, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Iowa, and Nebraska hinted at his
enthusiasm for travel and love for meeting new people, which he realized by
spending winters in Texas and summers in Colorado. Even during his retirement,
he found ways to give back from replacing window screens and sheet rock to
painting shutters for community churches.&nbsp;

Survivors include: his wife, Billie Mae (Herndon) Thompson of
Burdett; a daughter, Robin (Bill) Niederee of Great Bend; a son, Marshall
Thompson of Burdett; two grandsons, Daniel (Heather) Thompson of Hanston and

granddaughters, Katlyn (Jonathan) Rosborough of Washington, D.C., Allison
Niederee of Los Angeles, Sarah Niederee of Buffalo, N.Y.; four
great-grandchildren, Wyatt, Will, and Anna-Beth Thompson, and James Rosborough.

service at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, October 19. The service will be viewable via

Anna Lee (Thill) Habiger


Terry was born March 15, 1945, in Great Bend, KS. He was the son of 
Elbert Paul and June Nadine (Clark) Minson. Terry graduated from 
Hoisington High School in 1963. He joined the United States Navy and 
served his country from 1963-1969 — fighting for our country in Vietnam.

From Terry’s first marriage were born two sons, Terry Minson II and 
Douglas Minson. While in Kinsley, he married Marilyn (Regnier) Welsch 
June 5, 1975. Marilyn brought three boys to this union — Troy Welsch, 
Mark Welsch and Brian Welsch.

Terry had careers at Wilbert Vault Co, the Dyne-Quik Restaurant, 
insurance sales, and eventually began a career in the U.S. Postal 
System. Working between the towns of Dodge City, Hutchison, Kinsley, and
 Cimarron, he eventually held Postmaster at Larned and Great Bend, 
retiring in 2005. At that time, Terry and Marilyn moved to Table Rock 
Lake in Kimberling City, MO, meeting new lifelong friends and making 
many great memories, including lots of family visiting often.

Terry’s health became a priority and that led them back to Kansas in 
2013, moving to Galva. Terry was adamant that all of his kids work hard 
and often — which led to him buying the Kinsley Ice Company, a radiator 
shop, and the kids mowing many yards. Terry was a member of many clubs 
and organizations including the Kinsley Fire Dept, the VFW, Knights of 
Columbus and was also a past Mayor of Kinsley.&nbsp;

Terry was preceded in death by his parents, a sister Paulette Minson 
and Janelle Lefler, brothers Kent, Jim, Paul, and Craig, and a 
stepson Brian Welsch.&nbsp;

Survivors include wife Marilyn of Galva KS, Troy (Amy) Welsch of 
Larned, Mark Welsch of Trousdale, Terry Minson (Tracy) of Galva, and 
Doug Minson of WaKeeney. Surviving siblings include sisters Andrea 
(Duane) Sitton of Independence, KS and Rhonda (Bob) Shockey of Tulsa, 
OK. Brothers--Randy of Dartmouth, MA, Clark of Westport, MA, and Aaron 
(Liz) of Debary, FL. He is also survived by special brothers-in-law 
Kenneth Regnier of Offerle KS, Bud Lefler of Morrilton, AR, and sister- 
in-law Jane Minson of N. Kingstown, RI. Terry is survived by 10 
grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren, all of whom he was very proud 
of and always had words of wisdom for.

Viewing and visitation at McKillip Funeral Home 
in Kinsley from 5-7pm Tuesday October 13th and Rosary at 7pm. Memorial 
Service will be held at McKillips on Wedneday October 14th at 10am, with
 interment at WaKeeney Veteran’s Cemetery in WaKeeney, KS. at 3pm.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to Edwards County 
Golf Course in Kinsley where many family memories were created and 
shared, and also to the Bethany Village in Lindsborg, where Terry 
received great care in the last months of his life.
