Gavin David Garst was born on March 3, 2007, in St. Joseph, Missouri, to P.J. and Heather (Steinle) Garst, and he passed away on February 5, 2023, at the age of 15 years, 11 months and 2 days.

Gavin was a loving kid. He was always friendly to everyone he met, never mean and always had a smile on his face. He enjoyed the company of others, especially his family and friends. He liked to stay active, and was always driving around somewhere, riding his dirt bike around Mankato, or hanging out with his friends.

Gavin was a sophomore at Rock Hills Jr./Sr. High School in Mankato, a member of the class of 2025. He was a pleasant and upbeat student, always smiling and was very helpful to his fellow students and teachers. He was active in scholars bowl and FFA.

Outside of school, Gavin had many hobbies. He enjoyed fishing and fly fishing, and was learning the art of fly tying. Gavin and his friends spent many hours fishing and boating, casting and landing many fish.

He helped his dad at his body shop and working on cars, especially his 1979 Camaro. This led to another hobby of collecting automobilia and petroliana, attending collector shows with his family, and making friends who have become family. Gavin was an entrepreneur, and he started a business of selling antique oil cans, and zebra cakes. He was a talented artist, and drew many detailed sketches and drawings.

He attended the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Mankato and was strong in his faith. He was active in the church youth group and attended youth camps.

Gavin was a good brother and son with a 24-carat heart of gold who was taken from us too soon.

He is preceded in death by his grandfather Brad Steinle, great-grandpa David Winfrey, great-grandma Rae Steinle, great-uncle Dave Warner, great-aunt Ellen Steinle, great-grandparents Vern and Wilma Garlock, and Alfred and Velma Garst.

His memories will forever live in the hearts of his parents P.J. and Heather, brother Dayton, sister Karley, grandparents Paul and Darlene Garst and Lynn Shulte, aunt Hannah Pumphrey, uncle Travis Garst and his wife Audrey, aunt Corrina Banks, many cousins and many friends.

<a href="https://www.bachelor-surber.com/obituary/Velma-Lervold-Bobo">https://www.bachelor-surber.com/obituary/Velma-Lervold-Bobo</a>

October 5, 1928 ~ January 30, 2023 (age 94)

Velma Lervold Bobo was called to eternal rest with our Heavenly Father at the age of 94on January 30, 2023.

Velma Eugene Wineinger was born in Belleville, Kansas to the late George E. (Pete) and Minnie Hall Wineinger on October 5, 1928, the youngest of five children. When she was five years old, she moved with her family from their farm back to Belleville. 

While growing up, she worked at the Belleville Greenhouse and A.L. Duckwalls, a five-and-dime store, until graduating from Belleville High School in 1946.

After graduation, she went to work at the First National Bank in the bookkeeping department, and shortly thereafter, she was promoted to secretary. 

She married Robert Dean Lervold, a farmer, on April 10, 1949, and moved to Scandia, Kansas. When she had her two children, Maurice and Beth, born in 1950 and 1952, she was able to be a stay-at-home mom. 

She then went back to work in the banking system, starting as a teller, then assistant cashier, then ending as vice president until her retirement in 1992.

Velma was a member of the Amana Lutheran Church in Scandia, Kansas, where she served as a Sunday school teacher and church auditor. She was also a 4-H leader, president of the 4-H Clovia House Mother's Club in Manhattan while Beth was a student at Kansas State University. Velma held the president's office of the National Association of Bank Women for north-central Kansas. She was a member and served as treasurer of the Lt. Thomas Barlow DAR in Harlingen, Texas for six years.

Robert and Velma managed their money well so that they could buy land to increase their farming business. 

After her retirement, she and Robert traveled in their motorhome. They started spending their winters in Harlingen, Texas. They enjoyed square dancing and the many friends they made socializing, especially playing cards, which she enjoyed until her passing. Shortly after celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary, Velma lost her husband in 2000.

While still living in Harlingen, Velma met and married Wm. R. Clubb in 2002. Then she lost her second husband in 2004.

In 2012, she met and married James R. "Jim" Bobo. Jim and Velma took numerous trips throughout the U.S. and all over the world. After seven years of a very happy marriage, her third husband died in 2019.

Because Velma was always wanting the best for her children and grandchildren, she emphasized the importance of obtaining an education to better themselves.

Velma was preceded in death by her parents; brothers Glenn and Ray; sisters Edna Freeman and Faye Homolka Rizek; and her son-in-law Hans Maslo.

She is survived by her loving daughter Beth Ann Maslo, and son Maurice (Susan) Lervold; grandchildren Brandy (Adam) Hayes, Kyle (Caryn) Orgera, Brooke (Cory) Barnes, Brynn (Steve) Saskowski, Kevin Orgera, Scott (Kristin) Lervold, and Keith Orgera; stepchildren, Russell (Donna) Bobo, Paul Bobo, Janice Bobo, Norman (Darlene) Bobo, and Marvin (Alysia) Bobo; great-grandchildren, Cort and Case Orgera, Nash and Witt Hayes, Eastyn, Kooper, and McCoy Barnes, Blaize and Bayker Lervold, Roman and Remy Saskowski; nine stepgrandchildren and ten stepgreat-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Velma will be greatly missed by all her family and friends who loved her.

Graveside service and Interment will be held 11:00 a.m., Tuesday, February 14, 2023 at the Norway Cemetery, Norway, Kansas

Carol Lee Schroeder-Dahlsten, 90, of McPherson, KS, passed away peacefully on Saturday, February 4, 2023, surrounded by family in her home.&nbsp;

She was a Pizza Hut Franchisee and actively involved in the operations of many Pizza Hut restaurants in Kansas and Arizona. &nbsp;Also, in McPherson, she owned and operated Applegate’s Landing and the Pear Tree Restaurant/Peppy Partridge Dinner Club.

Carol was born September 26, 1932, in Tipton, KS, the daughter of Joseph John and Mathilda Anna (Moritz) Krier.&nbsp; She grew up outside Tipton “on the farm” where she met her husband the first day of high school.&nbsp;

 On September 3, 1951, Carol was united in marriage to Eugene (Geno) H. Schroeder.

After their many years in Wichita, they ventured together to open their first Pizza Hut restaurant in McPherson in 1972. 

Geno preceded her in death on April 27, 1988, but she continued to operate and grow the Pizza Hut franchises.&nbsp;

She later married David Edward Dahlsten on August 3, 1989. Together, they traveled abroad many times.&nbsp; Perhaps, their favorite vacations were to their beloved golf destinations in Arizona and Arkansas.&nbsp; After 32 years of marriage, he preceded her in death on October 2, 2021.

Carol never lost her zest for life and remained active until shortly before her death.&nbsp; Her generosity and compassion &nbsp;extended beyond her family and touched everyone she met.&nbsp; Rarely would you speak to her without her sharing a witty remark or “saucy” joke to make you smile. &nbsp;

Survivors include three daughters, Pat Neef (Jim) of Castle Rock, CO, Jo Littrell of McPherson, KS, and Beth Chalmers (Bruce) of Overland Park, KS; stepson John Dahlsten (Wende) of Reno, NV; daughter-in-law Janet Balzer of McPherson, KS; stepdaughter Michelle Dahlsten Kratofil (David) of Kansas City, MO; grandchildren include Jeremy, Jarod, Dianne, Justin, Katie, Jessica, Abbey, Matthew, Mollie, Brandell, Carolann; two stepgrandchildren, Aaron and Alex; 17 great-grandchildren; and many extended family and friends.&nbsp; 

She was preceded in death by her son Tim Schroeder; son-in-law Shelby Littrell; and six siblings.

The family will receive friends from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., Friday, February 10, 2023, with Rosary following at 7:00 PM, all at St. Joseph Catholic Church. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:00 a.m., Saturday, February 11, at St. Joseph Catholic Church with Father Benjamin Shockey officiating.&nbsp; Burial will follow at McPherson Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be given to St. Joseph Catholic Church or Macular Degeneration Association in care of Stockham Family Funeral Home, 205 North Chestnut, McPherson, KS 67460.

October 17, 1936 ~ January 31, 2023 (age 86)

Lezetta Marie (Hackerott) Hlad, Salina, passed away surrounded by family on Tuesday, January 31, 2023.

She was born October 17, 1936 in Alton, Kansas to Everest and Gladys (Gregory) Hackerott.

Lezetta worked as a surgery scrub tech for St. Johns and Asbury Hospitals, and for Doctors Sloo, Kruckmeier, and Peterson at the Orthopedic Clinic.

The greatest joy of her life was her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She spent many hours sitting at ball games, track and cross country meets, wrestling matches, and twirling contests. Many miles were walked up “the hill” to “hunt” with the boys and sled down them in the winter. She enjoyed camping and the boys have fond memories of smelling bacon cooking in the camper and helping bait her hooks for fishing. Lezetta enjoyed crocheting and made numerous towels for gifts. Lezetta was a great baker and a special day every year was the day before Thanksgiving baking pies with her granddaughter, Haley.

Lezetta was preceded in death by her husband of 61 years, Robert; her parents; brother Gilbert Hackerott, sisters Betty Howell and Arlene Bloomer; and grandson Brian Hlad.

Lezetta is survived by sons Jerold (Bernetta) Hlad and Larry (Cathy) Hlad, four grandchildren, Jeffrey (Sara) Hlad, Jeremy (Ashley) Hlad, Adam (Rachael) Hlad, Haley (Randal)Torres, and 14 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by three sisters, Erma Westfall, Thelma Anderson, and Doris Lewis.

Memorial service will be held at 10:30 a.m., Saturday February 11, 2023, at Trinity Lutheran Church, 702 S. 9th St. Salina, Kansas, with inurnment to follow in Osborne City Cemetery at 2:00 p.m. that day.

On Saturday, February 4, 2023, Robert (“Bob”) M. Klein, 81 years old, joined his wife, Marjorie, and son, Derek, in heaven. He did not know a stranger and delighted in getting to know others.

He graduated from Kansas Wesleyan University in Education and taught in the Haddam and Delphos School Districts.&nbsp; Bob had a passion for teaching, especially science, geography and science to Junior High students.&nbsp; His goal was to make learning fun and prepare students for future life adventures. One of his favorite school days was Rocket Day, when it was socially appropriate to blow stuff up!&nbsp;

One of his creative teaching methods was a multiple choice test challenge: Miss all 10 questions and you receive 100%.&nbsp; If one question is correct, you receive a zero.&nbsp; Only the brave took him up on this.

Mr. Klein’s Rules held a prominent place in his classroom.

Rule Number 1: The teacher is always right.

Rule Number 2: If the teacher is wrong, refer to Rule Number 1.

He enjoyed helping his father-in-law and son farm and was known to liven up wheat harvest with a daily clothing theme such as Hawaiian shirt day, overall day, etc.&nbsp; Bonding with others while working on various farm implements was his definition of a good time.

He was a general aviation pilot and was fond of building remote control airplanes with his K&amp;G Hobby buddies.

Driving his Cadillacs in various parades was a source of enjoyment.

He volunteered his time to enrich the Delphos Community as he was a past Delphos Mayor and a member of the Delphos Cemetery Board, Delphos City Council, Delphos Co-op Board, Delphos Fire Department, Delphos First Presbyterian Church, Delphos Museum, Delphos Lions Club, Delphos Library Board, Ottawa County Zoning Commission and the Ottawa County Planning Board.

He was also preceded in death by his parents, Charles Christian and Minnie Adeline (Plunkett) Klein, sister, Jo Ann Yowell; and brother, Charles "Bud" Klein.

He is survived by his daughter, Sonja; son-in-law John; grandson, John and many nieces, nephews, special friends at the Delphos Senior Center, his Delphos High School Classmates of 1960, and his Thursday evening meal mates.

Visitation will be from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., Thursday, February 9 at Wilson Family Funeral Home, 405 Argyle Ave., Minneapolis, KS 67467, where the family will receive friends from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.&nbsp; Funeral services will be at 10:00 a.m.., Friday, February 10 at the funeral home with burial following in the Delphos Cemetery.
