| 5201 |  | Obituary- Diehl, Mary Mary Ann Diehl Mary Ann Diehl, 75, passed away on December 19, 2020, in the city of Beaumont, CA, from a sudden heart attack en route to the hospital. She will be greatly missed. Mary Ann was born on March 18, 1945, in Wamego, Kansas to Dale Chalmer and Marsella Ann (Stadler) Ruff, both deceased. Mary Ann grew up in Rossville, Kansas and graduated from Rossville High School in 1962. Upon graduation she began working for various companies around the Topeka area, including Shelter Insurance in the Claims Department and managed lounge at the American Legion Auxiliary Post 400 in Topeka. Mary Ann’s desire to see more of the world led her to move to Kansas City in 1991 and she studied and became a licensed travel agent, which allowed her to travel more and see the beauty the world has to offer. Eventually she found herself moving to the Palm Springs area of California where she worked as an office administrator until she retired in 2009. Mary Ann married Stephen Diehl but were granted a divorce in 1974. They had a son in 1970, Jason Christopher, who survives his mother and lives in West Hollywood, CA, not far from Mary Ann’s home in Beaumont. Mary Ann is also survived by a brother, Frank Ruff (Lorraine), in Davidsonville, MD. During the course of her life, Mary Ann enjoyed many surprising activities, including volunteering her time and talents by making quilts for veteran’s groups. She also enjoyed playing billiards and proved to be quite the pool shark. In the 1980s she often placed in the top 3 positions in the Kansas Women’s Billards Tournament and even garnered First Place trophies in both singles and doubles tournaments. Mary Ann was interred next to her mother at the Rossville Cemetery in Rossville, KS after a graveside service on January 15th, at 1:00 pm. The family welcomed any friend, relative or acquaintance of Mary Ann to attend the service. The service is being arranged by Piper Funeral Home in St. Marys, KS. The family would like to thank everyone who has expressed their condolences at her loss and hope that Mary Ann’s loving warmth and caring remain in the hearts and minds of those individuals that were lucky enough to spend time in her presence.

Shawnee County District Coroner W. Kiernan O'Callaghan said Mr. Dolezilek died of smoke inhalation and burns. An autopsy was performed Tuesday.

| 5239 |  | Obituary- Dolezilek, August 2 August Dolezilek Dies In Grass Fire August Dolezilek, 83, a retired Rossville farmer, may have been killed when his clothes were set ablaze as he tried to stomp out a small grass fire, authorities speculated. His body was found Monday, March 22, 1982, near his farm home. Shawnee County Sheriff's Deputy Mike Ramirez told a reporter for the "Topeka Capital-Journal" they were speculating that Mr. Dolezilek was burning trash and, one way or another, was engulfed in flames. Mr. Dolezilek's badly burned body was found at 3:28 p.m. lying in the driveway near his farmhouse, northeast of Rossville, about one-half mile south of 86th Street on Docking Road. An autopsy was scheduled for Tuesday at St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center. Sherriff's deputies commented they had to treat the death as a homicide until the autopsy report is returned, even though the death appear accidental, maybe coupled with a heart attack. Bennie Martinek, a neighbor, said that Dolezilek usually burned his trash. In the shadow of his farmhouse, a charred pile of newspapers and magazines littered the driveway. Farther north was the still-smoldering outline of a cedar tree and a wide patch of fire-blackened stubble. Several of Dolezilek's relatives, including his brother Ted, also of rural Rossville, were at the scene soon after the fire was discovered. Ted told authorities that August lived alone and that he got around well despite his age. Their parents had lived in the small wood-frame farmhouse before his brother moved therein in the 1920s. Fire units from Shawnee County Fire District No. 1, based in Silver Lake, were first on the scene. "We just happened on it." said Dale Upton. "We were out investigating an illegal burning and took that road back because we saw a column of smoke." They found the grass fire, by then barely burning, and Dolezilek's body. Services for Mr. Dolezilek are pending at Verschelden Funeral Home, St. Marys. | |
