JAMES ALBERT PEFFLEY

James Albert Peffley, 86, passed away February 25, 2023 at William R Courtney Texas State Veteran’s Home in Temple, Texas. Jim was born on August 13, 1936 to Paul Peffley and Edwina (McIntosh) Peffley in Augusta, Kansas. In 1954, he graduated from El Dorado High School in Kansas as a proud member of the Wildcat family. He served in the U.S. Navy as a SeaBee in Okinawa, Japan and Midway Islands. Returning home, Jim worked briefly as a Butler County Deputy Sheriff and other occupations. However, the emerging field of computer science captured his interest and was a match for his intellect and attention to detail. He went on to be a part of various industry innovations in data processing including the development of Virtual Machine. Before retirement, he had contributed to many corporate teams including Sun Oil, Anderson Consulting and Perot Systems. Jim met the love of his life, Carmen Moyano Centeno, as she was completing her Fulbright Program teaching scholarship in El Dorado, Kansas. When Carmen returned to Argentina, Jim followed shortly after and they were married in 1965 at Nuestra Senora de los Milagros (Jesuitas) in Santa Fe, Argentina. Jim and Carmen returned to the United States and eventually settled in Richardson, Texas where they resided for 46 years. During the summer of 2020, they moved to Belton, Texas to be closer to family. Jim loved fishing, reading and traveling. He gave his technical skills to the Centro Argentino as music coordinator and occasional dancer with the Danzas Folkloricas productions. The life and legacy of Jim Peffley is lovingly cherished by his wife of 57 years, Carmen. He is survived by their son, Nicholas Lewis Peffley and his wife Nicole Peffley of Houston, Texas and by their daughter, Suzanne Peffley Rowe and her husband Russell Rowe of Belton, Texas. Jim’s laughter and especially his jokes will be missed by his five granddaughters. He is also survived by his sisters Barbara (Peffley) Feller of Houston, Texas and Margie Peff

SHANE TYLER BUSHEY

Shane Tyler Bushey turned our world upside down on October 29, 1990 and continued to create chaos for 32 years. On March 5, 2023, he left this world doing what he loved after a weekend spent with those he loved most. All Shane wanted to do was to be a Dad. Lucas fulfilled this dream on November 30, 2021. He was the light of Shane’s life and Shane lived for every moment that he spent with him. Shane was the best uncle to Brooklyn and Aiden. He treated them as if they were his own. They loved staying the night and exploring Shane’s property. Shane was a giving and generous soul. He was always there to help anyone at the drop of a hat. Shane was excited to start a new job at Niar that would allow him time with Lucas and give him the opportunity to provide a college education for Lucas. He was a 2009 graduate of Circle High School and a 2012 graduate of WATC. Shane had an adventurous side. He loved cars, ATVs, scuba diving, shooting, and motorcycles. The 4th of July was his favorite holiday since he loved blowing things up. He frequently spent afternoons on motorcycle rides with his Dad, sister, and uncles. We aren’t really sure where he developed his love for country music, but he sure found it. He was planning a trip to Nashville with his son to share his love of country music. Shane is survived by son, Lucas; father, Danny (Angie) Bushey of Wichita, KS; mother, Michele Shephard of Wichita, KS; sister, Aimee (Andrew) Esparza and niece and nephew, Brooklyn and Aiden all of Andover, KS; grandparents, Roland and Deloras Bushey of Augusta; many aunts, uncles, cousins, chosen family, and friends. He was preceded in death by his grandma, Cindy Martin. Visitation 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. Thursday, March 9, 2023 at Headley Funeral Chapel, Augusta, KS. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to support Shane’s son, Lucas. Donations may be given to Michele Shephard through VENMO / @slymom68 or
