Cathy Coffman Clouston, Class of 1966

Cathy Clouston left this earthly world on July 17th, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of resilience, laughter, and a family who will miss her beyond words. Born in Manhattan, Kansas February 17th, 1948, Cathy grew up in Chase, Kansas, a place that would always hold a special place in her heart. She later returned to Chase to raise her daughter and dedicated much of her career to serving the community she loved. She worked as the high school secretary and District Board Clerk for USD 401 and also served the Dexter and Cedar Vale school districts. She was often the first friendly face people saw, the calm in the chaos, and someone who quietly kept things moving behind the scenes. Outside of work, Cathy had an unmistakable eye for beauty and history. She loved antiques – not just for what they were, but for the stories they carried. Over the years, she owned several antique stores, delighting in the hunt for hidden treasures and sharing that passion with others. To know Cathy was to know a woman who lived life on her own terms. She was a force to be reckoned with and would not be hampered by inconvenience or circumstance. She played like a child and cussed like a sailor. She was fierce and stubborn, and anyone who tried to stop her from doing something she had set her mind to quickly learned it was a losing battle. Her determination wasn't just part of her personality – it was the foundation of the life she built. For more than twenty-eight years, Cathy shared her life with her devoted partner, Noel Glenn. Through life's joys and its hardest seasons, they remained steadfast companions, building a life grounded in love, loyalty, and unwavering commitment. She is survived by her daughter, Jennifer Pickert (Kara Robinson) of Dallas, Texas; her beloved partner, Noel Glenn; her brothers, Chris Coffman (Evelyn) of Dripping Springs, Texas, Paul Coffman (Amy) of Peculiar, Missouri, and Steve Coffman (Kaye) of Cheney, Kansas. She also leaves behind Tyrell Glenn of Stanton, Nebraska and his children, Jayden and Levi; Travis Glenn of Stanton, Nebraska; Trevor Glenn of Meadow Grove, Nebraska, his wife Heidi, and their daughters, Paizlyn and Peyton, along with many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends. To her daughter, Cathy was the strongest and most resilient person she ever knew. She could push her buttons faster than anyone else, and yet she couldn't have been prouder to have been her daughter. Cathy taught her that strength isn't measured by an easy life, but by the determination to keep moving forward no matter what stands in your way. Her grit, humor, fierce love, and refusal to quit will continue to shape the lives of those who knew and loved her. The world is quieter without her laughter, her colorful vocabulary, and her unshakable spirit. But those who loved Cathy know that a life isn't measured simply by years lived – it is measured by the strength we leave behind in others. By that measure, her legacy is immeasurable. She will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and impossible to forget. Arrangements and services are under the direction of Bath-Naylor Funeral Home of Pittsburg, KS.

Randol Walker, Class of 1959

Randol Walker, born in Stilwell, OK, moved to Chase, Kansas, when he was adopted at age four by his Uncle Jerry Walker and Aunt Ruth Walker who became his beloved Mom and Dad. He joked that his “maiden” name was McKee. He was married 62 years to Bonnie Evans Walker who survives. Other survivors are son, Christopher (Lori Buessing) Walker; daughter, Deanna (John) Armentrout; grandchildren Griffon and Gannon Walker, Parker J. (Justice Houston) Myers, Madison and Colt Armentrout, Taylor (Clayton) Smith, Mackenzie (Logan Barker) Buessing, Chandler Buessing; and family friend Jenny Walker. Randol’s education began in Chase, and he was a life-long Kat who cherished his fellow 1959 graduates. A bachelor’s degree from Sterling College was next, followed by recruitment to Kansas State University where he was awarded a Ford Foundation Scholarship and a master’s. Lastly, he earned a specialist degree from Emporia State University. Randol was a farmer and stockman nearly his whole life in addition to being an educator his entire adult life. Positions he held as an educator were in the Topeka Public Schools as science teacher and Principal, Boswell; Assistant Principal, Jardine, Highland Park and Topeka West; Principal, Roosevelt; Associate Principal, Topeka West; and Director of Classified Personnel in Human Resources, Burnett Center. He ended his education career as Principal at Jefferson West High School, Meriden. He was president and longtime board member of Consolidated Rural Water District 1, Shawnee County Farm Bureau, Shawnee County Research and Extension Council and Foundation; member of Topeka Shawnee County Metropolitan Planning Commission and Shawnee County Comprehensive Planning Commission; lifetime member of NEA as well as being a precinct committeeman. Randol received the Kansas Bankers Soil Conservation Award and K-State Research and Extension Award of Appreciation for service to Kansas Cooperative Extension programs. Further, he was inducted into the Topeka West Sports Hall of Fame as a contributor and into the Topeka West Hall of Fame as an Owen Henson Distinguished Staff administrator. In addition to his dedication to the community and education of youth, Randol can be remembered for many things, including his interest in history and special love for his cattle, land, crops, trees, flowers, nature in general; conducting hay rack rides enhanced by narrations about nature and ending with fireside hot dog roasts for family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors; watching KSU and his children’s and grandchildren’s activities. Family and friend times with snow sledding, hunting, fishing, dirt biking, camping, boating, riding side-by-sides, motorcycling vacations, spoiling the dogs and cats, feeding wildlife, watching birds, and admiring the beauty of nature were always cherished. Randol lived his life epitomizing a Grantland Rice quotation that is posted in the gymnasium at Chase Rural High School: ”For when the One Great Scorer comes to write against your name, He writes-not that you won or lost-but how you played the game.” Randol lived as if a person’s game of life should be one of good character and integrity rather than worldly success or failure, and it should be full of activities. That well-lived life peacefully ended June 17, 2026. The time and date of graveside services at Dover Cemetery, 6030 SW Douglas Rd, along with the visitation at the Dover Community Center, 5928 Southwest Douglas Road, both in Dover, Kansas will be announced at a later date. In acknowledgement of Randol’s lifelong love of agriculture and dedication to education, the family suggests donations to any of the following: Topeka West High School Foundation; or Dover Community Foundation; or something of your own choosing, in care of Kevin Brennan Family Funeral Home, 2801 SW Urish Road, Topeka KS 66614.

Richard Allen (Dick) Schremmer, 71, died March 25, 2026, in Wichita, Kansas. Schremmer was born June 27, 1954, in Great Bend, Kansas, to Irene and Frank Schremmer of Beaver, Kansas. He began his career in the oilfield during high school. At 15, he worked for Chase Tank Service, cleaning out the bottoms of old oil tanks and handling other prestigious jobs. After high school, Schremmer decided to get an education rather than go to school and took a position with Kewanee Oil Company. Oil was $3 a barrel, and he was only the second person hired at the company in 18 years. He initially worked in Barton and Stafford Counties before being transferred to Medicine Lodge in Barber County. It was there that he met and, on December 18, 1976, wedded Janice. When Schremmer was 25 years old, the company (which was now Gulf Oil Company) transferred him to Wichita, where he became the production superintendent for all the company’s assets east of Highway 14. In 1985, after Chevron USA acquired Gulf Oil, Schremmer struck out on his own, forming Bear Petroleum, which today operates hundreds of wells in Kansas and Oklahoma. In 1988, he acquired a small well-servicing company, Gressel Oil Field Service, growing it from a two-rig operation into a full oilfield services company and supply store with locations across the state. Schremmer served as president of the Association of Energy Service Companies (AESC), National Stripper Well Association (NSWA), Liaison Committee of the Cooperating Oil & Gas Associations of the United States, Kansas Independent Oil & Gas Association (KIOGA), and Wichita Petroleum Club.
