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.

The Family wishes to thank all the highly skilled and compassionate Healthcare workers who cared for Mary at Stormont Vail. Memorial contributions may be made to the USD 372 Silver Lake School Foundation, c/o Mary Martin, PO Box 39, Silver Lake, KS 66539.
