KSU Super Fans Pam and Rita
ST. MARYS (KSNT) – Pam Sumner and Rita Muckenthaler have been to
all 50 states, thanks to K-State Athletics.
“I’m really on
a first-name basis with a lot of those people there,” 88-year-old Rita said.
Pam and Rita
might be K-State’s biggest fans.
“I’ve missed
probably two or three [games] since like 1983,” Pam said. “[Rita]’s probably
missed maybe four since 1989.”
They both got
degrees from K-State, and taught together in USD 321. In the 1980s, Pam wanted
to keep going to Wildcat football games, so Rita suggested they go together.
“We got
addicted when we went,” Rita said.
It snowballed
from there. The traveling best friends have been to every home football game
since 1991, plus 20 bowl games and about 75 percent of away games.
“We started
with her car, using her car,” Pam said. “Then, when I started driving, this is
about my third car we’ve gone through.”
There was one
game Pam missed that Rita still went to– the day of Pam’s dad’s funeral. Rita
went to the football game after the funeral because she knew Pam’s dad would
not want her to miss a game
Pam and Rita
also go to women’s basketball and volleyball games.
“You know how
many purple shirts I have?” Rita said. “I have drawers and drawers and drawers,
and they’re categorized. Long sleeve, short sleeve, sleeveless.”
They’ve
developed the perfect traveling system. Pam drives, and Rita pays for parking.
“I think going
to like Auburn, Marshall, USC, Stanford, to go to those iconic stadiums is just
awesome,” Pam said.
This duo will
keep visiting more iconic stadiums while visiting the new Big 12 teams.
“She’s my
second mother,” Pam said. “I’m like her daughter. We’re family more than
friends.”

Mary Jane (Krasny) (50) Martin Passes Away
Mary Jane (Krasny) Martin, 89, of Silver Lake, passed away peacefully with family at her side on Wednesday, February 9th, 2022. She and her twin, Marie Jean Harden, were born May 6, 1932 to Rudolph and Wilma Krasny of Delia, KS. Mary spent her childhood in the Delia/Rossville area, graduating from Rossville High School in 1950.
Mary married Charles Martin on August 30, 1951 in Topeka. They were married 66 years. Charlie proceeded her in death on February 10, 2017. Mary and Charlie enjoyed their four "girls", Peggy (Joe) Pistora, Karen (Terry) Hay, Mary “Diane” (Ron) Martinek and Nancy (Bob) Pfannenstiel, ten grandchildren and twenty-two great-grandchildren. Mary was a wonderful mother and excelled at being a grandmother. In the early days, she spent many days at softball fields and at lakes fishing, camping and skiing. She was a talented self-taught painter, who enjoyed sharing her artistic creations with many. Mary took pride in living independently, including gardening and mowing with her new zero-turn mower. The Silver Lake Senior Center and friends were an important part of Mary's life.
Mary always enjoyed watching kids and grandchildren's events. She drove the Silver Lake school bus for many years, allowing the kids to have a water balloon fight on the last day of school so the bus could be washed out.
Visitation will be held at the Citizen Potawatomie Nation Building in Rossville, KS on May 6, 2022 from 5pm-7pm in honor of Mary's 90th birthday. The family will hold a private graveside service.

Tyler L. Pierce Passes Away
Tyler Logan Pierce was born March 14th 1990 in Portland Adventist Hospital, Multanomah county, Oregon. He passed away Jan. 25, 2022. He was raised in Rossville and attended schools there.The best way to describe Tyler is as a kind and steadfast man. He went out of his way to support and care for those he loved. An extra hand to move, a place to sleep, a couple bucks when down on your luck. Just a fraction of the things he did without qualm or hesitation.
He was an incredibly talented musician, especially with guitar and drums. He loved movies. We have many fond memories of seeing the latest one with him and other times watching the most awful B movies
He was unflappable. Never angry, always understanding. The troubles of life that grab all of us seemed to just roll off him like a wave on a beach. He had a wonderful sense of humor and loved to make people laugh. He found a way to make you smile and smile himself even in the darkest times
After a 6 month battle with aggressive brain cancer Tyler passed January 25th, 2022 with loved ones near.
