Ted married the love of his life, Barbara Ann Kibbe
on June 8, 1969 in Mt. Ayr, Iowa. They
were blessed with two children, Teresa Renee and Jason Lee. During high school, Ted lived with Ben and
Annie Zollman, and worked on their dairy farm.
He went on to work for Lynden Thompson and Kay Havner at John Deere as a
mechanic. An entrepreneur at heart, he
opened his own business, Ted’s Repair, and has worked in auto body for over 50
years. His hobbies were many, including
riding horses, watching rodeo, fishing, coaching 4-H’ers, and spending time
with family.
Ted is survived by wife, Barbara Foland; daughter,
Teresa McNeal and her husband Todd of Plymouth, Minnesota; son, Jason Foland
and his wife Brook with grandchildren Kyra and Hadley Foland of Highland,
Kansas; sister, Alice Baker; in-laws Lorraine Foland, Fran Foland, Dorothy
Burgmeyer, John and Karen Kibbe, David and Gloria Kibbe, Drexel and Patti
Musick, Jr.; as well as his many loving nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and
the many he treated as his own. Ted was
predeceased by father, Harold; mother, Eunice; and brothers Burl and
Leland.
Ted’s smile, sense of humor and giving attitude will
always be remembered. He loved
influencing others to get their education, drive for success and always do
their best. He was always there to help
his friends and family with whatever they needed him for. He was a loving and proud husband, father,
grandfather and friend to all.
