James Ewbank, passed away on May 21, 2025, at the age of 93. Born in 1931 in Ulysses, Kansas, he grew up on farms in northeast Kansas.

Jim became a student at Baker University until a draft notice arrived during the Korean conflict. He did not seek academic deferment, hoping to "see the world", and began his journey hitch-hiking from Garnett to Fort Riley for induction. The Army decided he should be a teacher, thus he spent his enlistment in Lawton, OK as a radio instructor. There he met and married Norma Carter, and they remained married for 69 years. After an honorable discharge he returned to Baker to finish a BA and subsequently earned an M.A. from the University of Kansas. He joined the faculty of Benedictine College and began teaching mathematics, when slide rules were the norm, and computer science, when code was entered on punch cards. He was elected chair of the KS section of the Mathematical Association of America (1970-71). He served several years as the college long distance running coach.

Life in Atchison allowed Jim to develop an interest in art. He spent summers painting several of the Victorian era houses in town. He was intrigued by the stained glass he saw and pursued intricate stained glass window construction as a hobby. After retirement his creations won awards from the Mo-Kan Artists, Midwest Artists, and Prairie Art Guild.

He is survived by his wife, Norma Ewbank (née Carter); his children, Stephen (Huey-Ching) Ewbank , Edye (Richard) Bruner , and Paul (Codrina) Ewbank ; and his grandchildren, Albert, Ellen(Kevin), and Mei-Ling(Danuka) Ewbank, Kimber Bruner, and Harry Ewbank. James was preceded in death by his parents, Oliver and Leone Ewbank, and his siblings, Marjorie Hunt, Bruce and Lorna Ewbank, Lorene Roeckers, Mary Seward, Russel, and John Ewbank.

In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the charity of your choice in honor of Jim. Cremation care is being provided by the Arensberg-Pruett Funeral Home. Services are pending at this time.&nbsp;

William Lee “Willie” Wilson was born September 25, 1949, on a farm outside Charleston, Missouri. His parents, Beatrice Wilson and William Brown, gave Willie four brothers and three sisters. Tom and James “Spoon” Wilson are his only living siblings.&nbsp;

After graduating from high school in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1968, Willie enlisted in the Air Force the following December. He served as a construction equipment operator in Vietnam and was awarded the National Defense Service Medal for his time spent there during that war.

Willie received a military honorable discharge on February 26, 1971, after a fall from a building foundation several stories high. That fall resulted in a broken neck, and Willie never walked again.&nbsp;

Paralyzed at age twenty-one, Willie spent nearly fifty-four years lying on his back because his legs wouldn’t bend. He was cared for by family for a short time but lived most of his remaining years in various veteran and civil care facilities. The last twenty-five years of his life were spent in Onaga, Kansas, in the Onaga Health and Rehab Center.&nbsp;

A man of few needs, Willie gave away nearly everything he purchased. He was constantly buying candy and other small items for the residents and staff at the care home. He also gave candy to the nurses at the hospital.&nbsp;

That fall resulted in a broken neck, and Willie never walked again.&nbsp;Paralyzed at age twenty-one, Willie spent nearly fifty-four years lying on his back because his legs wouldn’t bend. He was cared for by family for a short time but lived most of his remaining years in various veteran and civil care facilities. The last twenty-five years of his life were spent in Onaga, Kansas, in the Onaga Health and Rehab Center.&nbsp;A man of few needs, Willie gave away nearly everything he purchased. He was constantly buying candy and other small items for the residents and staff at the care home. He also gave candy to the nurses at the hospital.&nbsp;A memorial prayer service will be held at Onaga Health and Rehabilitation Center in Onaga on Thursday, May 29, at 10:00 a.m. Military funeral honors will follow at 11:00 a.m. at St. Patrick Catholic Cemetery at Coal Creek, north of Onaga. &nbsp;Memorials are suggested to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital and may be sent in care of Chapel Oaks Funeral Home, PO Box 312, Onaga, KS &nbsp;66521.&nbsp;<figure>

Verbena June Siskey, 91, Atchison, KS, passed away Tuesday, May 20, 2025, at Medicalodges Atchison.

Verbena was born on November 1, 1933, in Carona, KS, the first child of Joseph Jr. and Clara (Calso) Omeck. She graduated from Crawford Community High School in 1951 and attended Kansas State Teachers College (Pittsburg State) for two years while working as a switchboard operator to fund her education.

After college in 1953, she began teaching 1st grade in Scammon, KS. She taught there for the next two school years until May 1955 and on August 13, 1955, Verbena married Albert R. Siskey in West Mineral, KS.

The newlyweds moved to Atchison, KS that same year and began their life together; teaching, traveling, raising a family and caring for grandchildren forever more. After several years she returned to school and received her Bachelor of Science in Education degree in 1970 from Mount Saint Scholastica College (St. Benedict’s). Immediately after, she began teaching kindergarten at Martin East Grade School and taught there for the next 21 years. During this time, she also completed her Master’s in Education from Kansas State University.

For fun, Verbena was a talented seamstress and fashioned her own dresses and other clothing for the family. She also stitched clothing for her barbie doll collection and enjoyed collecting them immensely. She enjoyed her neighborhood bridge club that routinely met and rotated between each couple’s homes for several decades.

Verbena and her husband were active in Square Dancing and participated in many group events in Atchison and throughout Kansas. They both enjoyed traveling and spent the retirement “go-go” years doing just that. She served as an officer in Junior Guild Association and volunteered her time at the Atchison Visitor Center and the Sacred Heart Variety Store for many years.
