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.

GREAT BEND - Gary
Patrick Dino, 73, passed away April 6, 2020, at Via Christi St. Francis,
Wichita. He was born on April 6, 1947, at Monticello, New York, to Floyd &amp;
Clara (Kreutzer) Dino (Sweetman). He married Mary Stos on November 3, 1977, at
Liberal, KS. She survives.

Gary
graduated from Great Bend High School and attended Hutchinson Jr. College,
where he was drafted into the United States Army and served his country in
Vietnam from 1968-1969. He was medivacked out in 1969 to Fitzsimmons Army Hospital
in Denver for 9 months, where he recovered from his wounds. He was awarded the
Bronze Star for bravery, as well as the Purple Heart. He went above and beyond
and his courage was commendable. &nbsp;He was
a member of the Military Order of the Purple Heart and Prince of Peace Catholic
Church. 

In his
younger years, he worked in the oilfield in many capacities, and when the oil
business slowed down, he attended the Florida Institute of Technology at
Jenssen Beach, Florida, where he became a Certified OMC Mechanic. He loved the
great outdoors. Fishing and camping were his passion. He found serenity in just
parking to watch the deer and turkey as they came out at night. Anyone who knew
him, knew he had a soft spot for animals, his many black labs, with the most
recent being Odee. Not to mention his two cats he called Skinny and Stinky that
he rescued as kittens. He had a heart as big as Texas and such an infectious
laugh. Many were in awe at his ability to do pretty much anything he put his
mind to, and do it to perfection. He will be greatly missed. 

Survivors include, his wife Mary of 42 years; a daughter in
law, Stacy Bouse; a sister, Tammy Scheuerman and husband Jeff; his
grandchildren, Tylan Dino, Brannan Schaffer and Cayden (Dino) Bouse; a great
granddaughter, Lux Dino; grandchildren of the heart, Clinton Bouse and Melanie
Bouse; special nephews, Lafe Kern, Dino Kern, and Reggie Kern; special nieces,
Gina Werth, Jessica James and Tatum Stahman. He was preceded in death by his
parents; two sons, Tyler Dino and Bowen Dino; a sister, Donna Kern; and a
nephew, Shane Kern. 

There will be no visitation as cremation has taken place and
Memorial services are pending, due to the Mass restrictions and limitations set
forth by the Catholic Diocese, and will be announced at a later date. Military Rites
will be conducted with inurnment at that time. Memorials are suggested to the
Gary Dino Funeral Expense Fund or Golden Belt Humane Society, in care of Bryant Funeral
Home.

Clara (Kreutzer) Dino (Sweetman). He married Mary Stos on November 3, 1977, at
Liberal, KS. She survives. Gary
graduated from Great Bend High School and attended Hutchinson Jr. College,
where he was drafted into the United States Army and served his country in
Vietnam from 1968-1969. He was medivacked out in 1969 to Fitzsimmons Army Hospital
in Denver for 9 months, where he recovered from his wounds. He was awarded the
Bronze Star for bravery, as well as the Purple Heart. He went above and beyond
and his courage was commendable. &nbsp;He was
a member of the Military Order of the Purple Heart and Prince of Peace Catholic
Church. In his
younger years, he worked in the oilfield in many capacities, and when the oil
business slowed down, he attended the Florida Institute of Technology at
Jenssen Beach, Florida, where he became a Certified OMC Mechanic. He loved the
great outdoors. Fishing and camping were his passion. He found serenity in just
parking to watch the deer and turkey as they came out at night. Anyone who knew
him, knew he had a soft spot for animals, his many black labs, with the most
recent being Odee. Not to mention his two cats he called Skinny and Stinky that
he rescued as kittens. He had a heart as big as Texas and such an infectious
laugh. Many were in awe at his ability to do pretty much anything he put his
mind to, and do it to perfection. He will be greatly missed. Survivors include, his wife Mary of 42 years; a daughter in
law, Stacy Bouse; a sister, Tammy Scheuerman and husband Jeff; his
grandchildren, Tylan Dino, Brannan Schaffer and Cayden (Dino) Bouse; a great
granddaughter, Lux Dino; grandchildren of the heart, Clinton Bouse and Melanie
Bouse; special nephews, Lafe Kern, Dino Kern, and Reggie Kern; special nieces,
Gina Werth, Jessica James and Tatum Stahman. He was preceded in death by his
parents; two sons, Tyler Dino and Bowen Dino; a sister, Donna Kern; and a
nephew, Shane Kern. There will be no visitation as cremation has taken place and
Memorial services are pending, due to the Mass restrictions and limitations set
forth by the Catholic Diocese, and will be announced at a later date. Military Rites
will be conducted with inurnment at that time. Memorials are suggested to the
Gary Dino Funeral Expense Fund or Golden Belt Humane Society, in care of Bryant Funeral
Home.Condolences may be sent and notice viewed at www.bryantfh.net&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Arrangements

George J. Seuser, Jr., 90, Marquette, Kansas, formerly of Bison,
Kansas, died Thursday, April 9, 2020, at Riverview Estates, Marquette, Kansas.

George was born July 12, 1929, in La Crosse, Kansas, the son of
George J. Seuser, Sr., and Marie (Jedlicka) Seuser. He was a resident of Bison,
Kansas, for 83 years, before becoming a resident of Riverview Estates,
Marquette, Kansas, in January, 2013. A 1947 graduate of Bison High School,
Bison, Kansas, he was a farmer before his retirement.

On November 1960, he married Harriet Ann Green in Colorado
Springs, Colorado. She preceded him in death on June 2, 2017. George and
Harriet made their home on the original Seuser homestead that was established
in 1891. George believed a man’s word was his bond, and that working the land
was a calling. He thrived on the thrill and stress of harvest each year. Long
after retiring, he would speak about raising cattle, planting, and preparing
for harvest. On a Sunday drive, he would note, “Now that’s a good lookin’ milo
field.” His passing means he now walks in fields of gold.

Survivors include the following: one son, George J. Seuser III,
Kanopolis Lake, Kansas; one daughter, Laurie Denk (John, Lindsborg, Kansas;
two grandchildren, Claire Denk, Des Moines, Iowa; and Connor Denk, Lindsborg,
Kansas; and one great grandson, Liam Denk, Lindsborg, Kansas.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife; one brother,
Bill Seuser; and two sisters, Margarete Albers, and Mildred Littler.

Because of the current challenges the world is facing at the
present time, this is a private, immediate family only, graveside service and interment,
with no visitation.

In lieu of flowers or plants, the family requests all memorials be
made to Riverview Estates, Inc., Marquette, Kansas, his final home where he was
loved and cared for well.

Ed never forgot his
humble roots and remained devoted to this faith, family and farm.&nbsp; He was proud of his Czech heritage, and to
his last days could still mumble Czech phrases.&nbsp;
