Sharon Ann Cross

On March 11, 2023, a bright beacon of light was sadly extinguished 
with the death of Michele Lynette (Werner) Jeffrey.   Michele was 
badgered by cancer for 7 years before the disease ended her life at the 
age of 55.  Throughout her health challenge, she never lost her ability 
to positively effect the world and people around her.

She was born February 14, 1968, in Chanute, Kansas, the daughter of Martin “Pete” and Leona (Chandler) Werner.

Michele
 graduated from Chanute High School in 1986.  She graduated from Crum’s 
Beauty College in Manhattan and also attended Metropolitan State 
University in Denver, CO.

Michele found joy working 
within the arts.  Her natural ability to coordinate color and space led 
her into a satisfying career that began with framing of art pieces and 
interior design accessories.  She transitioned that start into a 
corporate art consultation business assisting with the acquisition and 
installations of art pieces for health care facilities, hotels and 
restaurants.

He personal life revolved around 
generosity.  Fostering and adopting three children, volunteering her 
time for veteran’s groups, school activities, coaching kid’s sports, 
educational surrogacy for the foster system and making sure many dogs 
had a home were just a few of her positive impacts Michele has left upon
 the world.  She enjoyed hosting parties and events for a good cause and
 just the pleasure of enjoying people.  She delighted in trips to Vegas,
 tailgating at football games, and travel of all sorts.  She made sure 
the people she loved slowed down occasionally to appreciate the beauty 
all around us.

On October 17, 1987, in Chanute, Kansas,
 she was married to Scott Jeffrey.  Scott survives of the home.  
Additional survivors include her three children: Andrea Jeffrey of 
Cleveland, OH, Kevin Jeffrey of Abilene, KS, and Christopher Jeffrey of 
Denver, CO; her mother Leona Werner of Chanute; her brother Martin 
“Marty” Werner and his wife Stacy;&nbsp;Scott’s parents Gerry &amp; Sharon 
Jeffrey of Manhattan; Scott’s sister Kristal Forrester and her husband 
Wil; and one nephew Nolan Werner and one niece Hana Forrester.

Michele was preceded in death by her father Martin “Pete” Werner.

Funeral
 services will be held at 2:00 P.M. Friday, March 17th, at the 
Yorgensen-Meloan-Londeen Funeral Chapel with Reverend Dr. Dennis 
Ackerman officiating.  Graveside services will be held at 11:30 A.M. 
Saturday, March 18th, at Memorial Park Cemetery in Chanute. There will

Constance K. Cain, 84, passed away on March 9th, 2023, at the Holiday Resort in Salina, Kansas.

She was born April 14, 1938, in Plainville, Kansas, to Gladys and Carl Larsen.

Constance
 spent most of her life as a homemaker. She loved spending time working 
in her vegetable and flower garden. During the summer, it was nothing 
unusual for her to can more beets, tomatoes, and many other vegetables 
than a single person could possibly eat. She also really enjoyed going 
fishing, spending time with her family, and reading the Bible.

She
 never really had a whole lot of money and always seemed to make do with
 what she had. Often, putting things off or letting things go because 
she couldn’t afford it. But the one thing she always made sure of is 
that there was something to eat if you showed up to visit and stayed for
 a while.

She leaves behind her sister, Janet LeRouges 
of Florida; daughter, Terry Plunkett (Alan) of Carlton, Kansas; sons, 
Rick McCall of Culver, Kansas, Tim McCall (Karen) of Derby, Kansas.

She
 is survived by seven grandchildren, Joe Thompson (Mandy), Teresa 
Thompson (Joe), Levi Plunkett, Tonia Curtis (William), Jared McCall 
(Nicole), Chad McCall (Jenna) and Mariah McCall; twelve great 
grandchildren and two great great grandchildren.

She is proceeded in death by her parents and brother, Lavonne Larsen.

She will be greatly missed by her family.

Cremation was chosen and no services are planned at this time.

Tom’s family traveled throughout&nbsp;the Midwest and he attended many schools before finally returning to Abilene and graduating from Abilene High School in&nbsp;1964.

After graduation, he joined the U.S. Navy Seabees and did two tours in Vietnam.

For most of his adult life he owned&nbsp;and operated Nogle Construction and drove a school bus, part-time, for the Abilene School District. Tom really loved driving the bus and said it was hard to keep ahead of the kids. Tom is survived by his wife Darcy, of the home, son Toby Wood (Gretchen) of Owasso, OK,&nbsp;daughter Kelsey Nogle of Salina, two granddaughters, Hailey Wood and Shelby Wood of Owasso, OK, one&nbsp; brother, Dean Nogle(Bernie) of Abilene, and one sister, Stephanie Hettenbach(Larry) of Salina.

Jim Yarrow, 82, of rural Wakefield, KS died March 8, 2023, at Ascension Via Christie Hospital in Manhattan. Jimmie Lee Yarrow was born March 20, 1940, to Laurence and Hila (Faidley) Yarrow. 

At the age of 7, he accepted Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior at a Uniondale Baptist Church revival. Most assuredly, he is now in the very presence of his Savior.

Jim attended Uniondale Grade School, followed by Clay Center High School, (class of 1958), where he was active in FFA (Future Farmers of America). While still in high school, he joined the National Guard and enjoyed their "summer camps" at various locations.

Farming and livestock were his passions. While farming with his dad in earlier years, he also did soil conservation work of building/cleaning ponds and construction of terraces. The day before his passing, he was driving pastures with his skid steer and tree puller attachment, pulling up cedars.

On December 13, 1969, Jim married Kathy Becker of Salina, KS. Together they farmed all of their married life in the Wakefield area, as the fourth generation on the original Yarrow farm. They were blessed with three children and their families, all of whom survive:

Daughter Karla and husband Rich Elliott of Kazakhstan

Daughter Kelly and husband Brandon Kuenning of Grant, NE

Seven special grandchildren: Oliver, Zack, Emma, and Macy Elliott&nbsp;Luke, Lily, and June Kuenning

Also surviving is one brother-in-law, Raymond Becker of Columbus, NE. 

Jim was preceded in death by his parents.

Nancy Lou Rhodes (Graves)

With profound sadness we announce the passing of&nbsp;Marjorie Ellen (Haase) Dossett, our loving and devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great grandmother on March 8th, 2023. She was 97 years and 11 months old. Marjorie was born on April 30th, 1925 in Bryan, Ohio to Ferman and Nora Clova (Stokes) Haase. She was the fourth of five children who all preceded her in death.

Marjorie lived a very active life and enjoyed so many things, the greater the adventure the better. 

She graduated from Montpelier Ohio High School in 1943, where she served on several committees, and was active in sports. Her favorite sport was archery, although she was quite good at basketball and bowling as well. Her yearbook states that her ambition was to be a bookkeeper and typist and she was described as ‘ a quiet and peace loving lass, she lives harmoniously with the&nbsp; world’. She also loved art and wanted to go to college to study, but that was not acceptable at the time, so after high school she moved to Michigan and began to fulfill her other dream. 

She worked in the office of Hartwick-Woodfield Company while she lived at the YWCA. Later, she moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota to attend school and resided at a mansion boarding house, where the proprietor found her to be a charming and lovely woman. She was always trying to set Marjorie up on a date with her son.&nbsp; It's a good thing that didn't work out!&nbsp; After going to school where she became certified in meteorology with the hopes of becoming an air traffic controller, Marjorie then attended a school in Omaha, Nebraska and learned to be a teletype operator. She befriended two classmates that had the same ambition as hers, to go out to Oakland, California and be a part of the war effort.&nbsp; This is where she became a second shift coder during WWII for the War Department.

Marjorie loved to dance and there just happened to be a dance hall across the street from her job where she spent many nights dancing until sunrise. Marjorie met the love of her life, William (Bill) Dossett, when she went on a blind date to the bowling alley with friends in the fall of 1945. They became engaged on November 25, 1945 and they married in Montpelier, Ohio on February 17, 1946. 

Mr. and Mrs. Dossett then resided in Bill’s home town of McPherson, KS. Bill was a volunteer fireman and started a flooring business with friends while Marjorie took in ironing as well teaching herself to be a seamstress. She made men's suits from patterns she cut from newspaper. They had dive children over the next 13 years; William (Sandy) Dossett, Jr. (Carolyn), Cheri Steffes, Clovia Katzenmeier (Dennis), Timothy Dossett and Colleen White (Gerald).

They moved to Salina in 1953 and built their family home in 1958 where Marjorie lived for over 60 years. Marjorie was a Cub Scout leader for her sons, she was in both a bowling and a golf league and sang in the church choir. Summers were spent at the lake fishing, playing cards with friends and getting together at the end of summer for a fish fry.&nbsp; Winters were spent with the same camping group, going to dance halls and taking turns at each other's houses to play cards and dominoes. Once all of Marjorie’s children were school age, she resumed her career in office management until she retired, and took a well deserved trip to Europe. She missed working, so she volunteered at Sunset Grade School in the Foster Grandparent Program for 10 years, and worked until she was 87 years old. 

Marjorie loved all of her 10 grandchildren, 25 great grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren with all her heart.&nbsp; She rarely missed a birthday or special event. She was dearly loved and will be greatly missed. See you on the other side Mom!

Funeral service will be at 2 p.m., Friday, March 17, 2023 at First United Methodist Church, 122 N. 8th St., Salina, KS.

 </figure>April 30, 1925 ~ March 8, 2023 (age 97)With profound sadness we announce the passing of&nbsp;Marjorie Ellen (Haase) Dossett, our loving and devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great grandmother on March 8th, 2023. She was 97 years and 11 months old. Marjorie was born on April 30th, 1925 in Bryan, Ohio to Ferman and Nora Clova (Stokes) Haase. She was the fourth of five children who all preceded her in death.Marjorie lived a very active life and enjoyed so many things, the greater the adventure the better. She graduated from Montpelier Ohio High School in 1943, where she served on several committees, and was active in sports. Her favorite sport was archery, although she was quite good at basketball and bowling as well. Her yearbook states that her ambition was to be a bookkeeper and typist and she was described as ‘ a quiet and peace loving lass, she lives harmoniously with the&nbsp; world’. She also loved art and wanted to go to college to study, but that was not acceptable at the time, so after high school she moved to Michigan and began to fulfill her other dream. She worked in the office of Hartwick-Woodfield Company while she lived at the YWCA. Later, she moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota to attend school and resided at a mansion boarding house, where the proprietor found her to be a charming and lovely woman. She was always trying to set Marjorie up on a date with her son.&nbsp; It's a good thing that didn't work out!&nbsp; After going to school where she became certified in meteorology with the hopes of becoming an air traffic controller, Marjorie then attended a school in Omaha, Nebraska and learned to be a teletype operator. She befriended two classmates that had the same ambition as hers, to go out to Oakland, California and be a part of the war effort.&nbsp; This is where she became a second shift coder during WWII for the War Department.Marjorie loved to dance and there just happened to be a dance hall across the street from her job where she spent many nights dancing until sunrise. Marjorie met the love of her life, William (Bill) Dossett, when she went on a blind date to the bowling alley with friends in the fall of 1945. They became engaged on November 25, 1945 and they married in Montpelier, Ohio on February 17, 1946. Mr. and Mrs. Dossett then resided in Bill’s home town of McPherson, KS. Bill was a volunteer fireman and started a flooring business with friends while Marjorie took in ironing as well teaching herself to be a seamstress. She made men's suits from patterns she cut from newspaper. They had dive children over the next 13 years; William (Sandy) Dossett, Jr. (Carolyn), Cheri Steffes, Clovia Katzenmeier (Dennis), Timothy Dossett and Colleen White (Gerald).They moved to Salina in 1953 and built their family home in 1958 where Marjorie lived for over 60 years. Marjorie was a Cub Scout leader for her sons, she was in both a bowling and a golf league and sang in the church choir. Summers were spent at the lake fishing, playing cards with friends and getting together at the end of summer for a fish fry.&nbsp; Winters were spent with the same camping group, going to dance halls and taking turns at each other's houses to play cards and dominoes. Once all of Marjorie’s children were school age, she resumed her career in office management until she retired, and took a well deserved trip to Europe. She missed working, so she volunteered at Sunset Grade School in the Foster Grandparent Program for 10 years, and worked until she was 87 years old. Marjorie loved all of her 10 grandchildren, 25 great grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren with all her heart.&nbsp; She rarely missed a birthday or special event. She was dearly loved and will be greatly missed. See you on the other side Mom!Funeral service will be at 2 p.m., Friday, March 17, 2023 at First United Methodist Church, 122 N. 8th St., Salina, KS.To&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Marjorie-Dossett/sympathy-landing">send flowers</a>&nbsp;to the family or&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Marjorie-Dossett/1074854/memorial-tree">plant a tree</a>&nbsp;in memory of Marjorie E.
