Roger D. Wetter, 67, died at his home in Norton, Kansas on September 10, 2018. He was born March 26, 1951 in Norton, Kansas to George and Zeta (Nusse) Wetter. Roger was raised on the family farm three miles east and a mile north of Norton along with his brother and two sisters. He attended Frog Pond County School and Norton Elementary and High School graduating with the class of 1970. After graduation, he was drafted into the United States Army, serving his country during the Vietnam War. He married Lynnette Staab on October 14, 1978 in Hays, Kansas. They made their home in Norton and were blessed with one son, Jeremy.

Roger held a few odd jobs before going to work for New Age where he worked as a welder from 1983 to 2017. He had to quit working due to poor health. Besides working at New Age, he had a lawn service for many years mowing 20 or more lawns. He worked very hard and long hours to provide for his family.

He was a member of Knights of Columbus, St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, and Norton American Legion Post #63. In his limited spare time, he liked to collect baseball caps and ink pens. He enjoyed spending time with his friends, but most of all he loved being with his wife and son. They were the loves of his life and the most important people in his life. There was nothing he would not do for them.

Roger is survived by his son, Jeremy Wetter of Norton, Kansas; brother Edwin A. Wetter of Oxford, Nebraska; sister, Caron Wetter of Limon, Colorado; and many other relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Lynnette Wetter; parents, H. George and Zeta Wetter; and a sister Laura Sweeley.

Joyce Ann (Pulec) Marcotte passed away on Thursday, September 6, 2018 at Redbud Village in Plainville, Kansas at the age of 87. She was born on September 22, 1930 in Hays, Kansas to the late Eddie E. and Marjorie (Morris) Pulec and grew up in Plainville with her two brothers, Jack and Mick, and graduated from Plainville High School. She was united in marriage to Leroy Marcotte on August 16, 1950 in Zurich, Kansas. They were blessed with a son, Tony.

Joyce had many interests and passions. In her younger days she was an avid golfer and enjoyed bowling having won many trophies, in both sports, over the years. She liked being outdoors, camping, boating, skiing, and fishing. As a lover of music, she not only sang and played the organ, but developed a lifelong passion for her favorite musician, the king himself, Elvis Presley. She visited Graceland three times, and had a huge collection of his music and memorabilia. When she could no longer play golf, she watched it on television all the time, and became a huge Tiger Woods fan. She also liked watching football and was a diehard Dallas Cowboys follower.

Joyce was a loving and hardworking wife, mother, grandmother, and homemaker. She worked at the hospital in Plainville, as a bookkeeper for Leroy’s business, Triple M Tank Service, worked at the Coastal Mart, and finally at the Dairy Queen, where she worked for over twenty years until the age of 84. She always loved the people she worked with and all of the friends and neighbors she got to see while working. She was very disheartened when she finally had to retire from work. But the time she loved the most was spending it with her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Forever young at heart, she will be missed by all who knew her.

Joyce is survived by her son Tony Marcotte and wife Renee; brother Jack Pulec; grandchildren Missy Cadoret and husband Tony, Raquel Witt and husband Jason, and Brent Marcotte; great-grandchildren Justine, Trinity, Calliegh, Ayden, Phoenix, Aubree, Cruz, and Cason; and great-great-grandchildren Kambree, and Karlyn.

She was preceded in death by her parents Eddie and Marjorie Pulec, husband Leroy Marcotte, brother Mick Pulec, and grandson Cody Kaba.

A Memorial Service will be held at 10:00am on Friday, September 14, 2018 at Plumer-Overlease Funeral Home in Plainville. Burial will follow in Sacred Heart Cemetery in Plainville. There will be no visitation.
