 April 13th, 1987 - Sunday, February 26th, 2023

Lance Brandon Gantenbein's mortal soul entered eternity on Sunday, February 26th 2023, on the 6th floor of the University of Kansas Intensive Care Transplant Unit after a 12-day fight to save his life ended. 

Lance’s doctors and specialists said it would take a miracle to save his life. Our miracle came on Friday morning when Lance woke up and was able to communicate by nodding yes and no to questions, and squeezing our hands when asked to. This allowed a 36-hour window so family and friends could say their final goodbyes, which we know Lance was grateful for.

Life began for Lance on April 13, 1987, being born 10 minutes after arriving at the Salina Regional Hospital. Just like Lance to give us an early arrival and a much too early exit. Lance’s philosophy, much like his favorite comedian, George Carlin, was always leave early when your audience wants more. He certainly did that.

Lance’s passion for life could be seen through the things he loved which, aside from family and friends, included Lawrence, Kansas. He jokingly called it his town and said someday he would be the mayor to which his dad said why stop there.

When it came to sports, Lance cheered for the Kansas City Chiefs, the Atlanta Braves, and KU basketball. He loved his first dog, a black lab named Pepper and later his beloved daschunds, Duke and Macy. Lance enjoyed golfing, hunting, and fishing, as well as old movies, classic sitcoms, and of course, Pink Floyd. He often said “if you're not going to listen to ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ from start to finish then not to bother putting it on the turntable.”

Lance had an opinion on every subject and was willing to debate at anytime. He’d listen to your side, tell you you’re wrong, and get back to his agenda.

Just like so many of us, searching for our own questions about life, we hope that Lance has found his answers. He believed that if we all worked as hard to get along, as we do to divide and destroy countries, political parties, races, and religions, the world would be so much better off. Lance had a heart of gold and if he was your friend, you had a friend for life. He loved to help people more than anything and confessed to a dear friend in a text message that in his final minutes, he’ll wished he had helped more people. By donating his 35-year-old heart to a recipient in need, his wish will come true.

May we all pay it forward for Lance, while we still have a chance. Have faith and hope that it will do as much for you as it will for the person you’re helping.

Lance is survived by his parents, Gary and Melinda of Hope, his sister Brandi of Abilene, Aunt Kayla and Uncle Dave Ascher, cousins Michael (Nicole), all of Salina, and Julie (Miron), Kansas City. He was preceded in death by all four grandparents Dale and Fern Gantenbein, and Melvin and Dora Brown.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the KU Medical Center – Organ Transplant Care. 

The family has chosen cremation. A memorial service will be 10:00 a.m.., Monday, March 6, 2023 at the Hope United Methodist Church.&nbsp;&nbsp;

We welcome you to provide your thoughts and memories on our Memory Wall.&nbsp;

Jeffery Long

Russell William Pennington, 98, a longtime resident of Graham County,
 died Friday, Feb. 24, 2023, in Broomfield, Colorado. Russell was born 
on Jan. 6, 1925, in Salina, Kansas, to Russell and Mary (McCain) 
Pennington. The Penningtons operated the Buchanan general store which 
was located 12 miles north of Bogue. Russell’s family lived on the 
second floor of the store and raised wheat and cattle on their nearby 
farm.

Russell graduated from the one-room Buchanan country school 
which was located less than a mile from the store. He then attended and 
graduated from Hill City High School. Russell never claimed to be an 
athlete, but he also never tired of telling folks he played tight end on
 the only undefeated football team in Hill City’s history. In 1943 the 
team was untied and scored on just once.

Shortly after graduating 
from high school, Russell volunteered for the United States Navy and 
served on the USS St. Paul in the South Pacific. He attended the War 
College of the Pacific near Pearl Harbor and was later stationed on the 
island of Saipan.

After returning home from the navy Russell 
attended and graduated from Fort Hays State. He majored in chemistry 
earning his teaching certificate, was a member of the Tau Kappa Epsilon 
fraternity and was a Prince of the Reveille Ball in 1948. Throughout his
 life Russell loved music and enjoyed dancing. While in college, this 
led to him meeting the love of his life – Mary Lou Fellers of Hays. They
 were married on Aug. 9, 1949, in the First United Methodist Church of 
Hays.

The following year, Russell and Mary Lou moved to Rozel, 
Kansas, where he was principal of the grade school and taught seventh 
and eighth grades as well as high school biology. Mary Lou taught high 
school English and literature.

After teaching three years in 
Rozel, Russell and Mary Lou moved to the Pennington family farm north of
 Bogue so he could share the increasing workload with his brother, 
Walter. Here, Russell and Mary Lou began a family: Russell Mark was born
 in 1954 and William Dane was born in 1956. The young family lived on 
the farm for five years and then moved to Bogue in the spring of 1958. 
In 1960 they built their “forever” home in Bogue in which they lived for
 nearly 60 years.

Russell taught for three years at 
Bogue High School and then became a rural mail carrier serving first out
 of Bogue and later out of Clayton. He carried the mail for more than 31
 years, while, at the same time, helping farm and raise cattle on the 
family land with his brother. Russell worked hard during these years, up
 before dawn to carry the mail and farming in the afternoon and evening 
till dark, like Kansas farmers do. During this time he also served three
 years as a state officer for the Kansas Rural Letter Carriers 
Association.

Russell was a member of the Bogue United Methodist 
Church and served on many church boards. He served on the board of 
directors for both the Graham County Hospital and the Graham County Fair
 &amp; Rodeo. He was scoutmaster for Bogue Boy Scout Troop 183 for many 
years while his sons were scouts. For years he managed a swing dance 
club which provided big band music to his generation and drew dancers 
from nearby communities in NW Kansas.

In 2019 Russell and Mary Lou
 left their beloved home and moved to an assisted living facility in 
Broomfield, Colorado, to be near family as they aged. During this time 
Russell longed for home and never missed a beat in attributing his 
declining health not to his advancing age but to the move from Kansas.

Survivors
 include Russell’s wife, Mary Lou, of Broomfield, Colorado; Mark and his
 wife, Josie, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Dane and his wife, Sandy, of 
Superior, Colorado, and their three sons: Grant; Tyler and wife, 
Brittany; and Connor and wife, Rachael, who are expecting Russell’s and 
Mary Lou’s first great-grandchild in May. All three grandsons live in 
the Denver area.

Preceding Russell in death were his parents, 
Russell and Mary; his baby brother, Donald; his sister, Lucielle, and

 </figure>Russell William Pennington, 98, a longtime resident of Graham County,
 died Friday, Feb. 24, 2023, in Broomfield, Colorado. Russell was born 
on Jan. 6, 1925, in Salina, Kansas, to Russell and Mary (McCain) 
Pennington. The Penningtons operated the Buchanan general store which 
was located 12 miles north of Bogue. Russell’s family lived on the 
second floor of the store and raised wheat and cattle on their nearby 
farm.Russell graduated from the one-room Buchanan country school 
which was located less than a mile from the store. He then attended and 
graduated from Hill City High School. Russell never claimed to be an 
athlete, but he also never tired of telling folks he played tight end on
 the only undefeated football team in Hill City’s history. In 1943 the 
team was untied and scored on just once.Shortly after graduating 
from high school, Russell volunteered for the United States Navy and 
served on the USS St. Paul in the South Pacific. He attended the War 
College of the Pacific near Pearl Harbor and was later stationed on the 
island of Saipan.After returning home from the navy Russell 
attended and graduated from Fort Hays State. He majored in chemistry 
earning his teaching certificate, was a member of the Tau Kappa Epsilon 
fraternity and was a Prince of the Reveille Ball in 1948. Throughout his
 life Russell loved music and enjoyed dancing. While in college, this 
led to him meeting the love of his life – Mary Lou Fellers of Hays. They
 were married on Aug. 9, 1949, in the First United Methodist Church of 
Hays.The following year, Russell and Mary Lou moved to Rozel, 
Kansas, where he was principal of the grade school and taught seventh 
and eighth grades as well as high school biology. Mary Lou taught high 
school English and literature.After teaching three years in 
Rozel, Russell and Mary Lou moved to the Pennington family farm north of
 Bogue so he could share the increasing workload with his brother, 
Walter. Here, Russell and Mary Lou began a family: Russell Mark was born
 in 1954 and William Dane was born in 1956. The young family lived on 
the farm for five years and then moved to Bogue in the spring of 1958. 
In 1960 they built their “forever” home in Bogue in which they lived for
 nearly 60 years.Russell taught for three years at 
Bogue High School and then became a rural mail carrier serving first out
 of Bogue and later out of Clayton. He carried the mail for more than 31
 years, while, at the same time, helping farm and raise cattle on the 
family land with his brother. Russell worked hard during these years, up
 before dawn to carry the mail and farming in the afternoon and evening 
till dark, like Kansas farmers do. During this time he also served three
 years as a state officer for the Kansas Rural Letter Carriers 
Association.Russell was a member of the Bogue United Methodist 
Church and served on many church boards. He served on the board of 
directors for both the Graham County Hospital and the Graham County Fair
 &amp; Rodeo. He was scoutmaster for Bogue Boy Scout Troop 183 for many 
years while his sons were scouts. For years he managed a swing dance 
club which provided big band music to his generation and drew dancers 
from nearby communities in NW Kansas.In 2019 Russell and Mary Lou
 left their beloved home and moved to an assisted living facility in 
Broomfield, Colorado, to be near family as they aged. During this time 
Russell longed for home and never missed a beat in attributing his 
declining health not to his advancing age but to the move from Kansas.Survivors
 include Russell’s wife, Mary Lou, of Broomfield, Colorado; Mark and his
 wife, Josie, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Dane and his wife, Sandy, of 
Superior, Colorado, and their three sons: Grant; Tyler and wife, 
Brittany; and Connor and wife, Rachael, who are expecting Russell’s and 
Mary Lou’s first great-grandchild in May. All three grandsons live in 
the Denver area.Preceding Russell in death were his parents, 
Russell and Mary; his baby brother, Donald; his sister, Lucielle, and 
husband, Tom Triplett; and his brother, Walter, and wife, Eleanor 
(Steward).Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, 
March 4, at the Bogue United Methodist Church with Pastor Julie Truhlar 
officiating. The public is invited for a final viewing at 9:30 a.m. at 
the church prior to the service.Burial will be at the Wildhorse 
Township Cemetery. Memorials may be given to the Bogue United Methodist 
Church, Bogue, Kansas, 67625.

<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Letha-McDowell">https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Letha-McDowell</a>

October 20, 1916 ~ February 23, 2023 (age 106)

Letha McDowell was born on October 20th, 1916, to Carl Erickson and Virginia (Cope) Erickson.

She grew up on a farm in Memphis, Nebraska, and drove a horse and buggy to a one-room school with her three sisters. She was never fond of horses after that!

She was a child of the Great Depression and when her parents could no longer afford to send her to high school, she moved to Los Angeles, California her senior year to finish school. She lived with her aunt and uncle and worked as their maid to earn her keep. She graduated from Manual Arts High School in downtown Los Angeles in 1934 with a full scholarship in nursing. She loved California but had to move back to Nebraska and sadly returned the scholarship after her uncle no longer needed her help.

She met her husband Ralph McDowell in Greenwood, Nebraska, and they wed on May 14th, 1938. They had three children and were married until he passed in 1974. 

Letha worked hard her entire life, never had help from anyone and not once did she complain. She worked as a bookkeeper, cleaned a laundromat and did whatever she could to make ends meet.

She was hired in 1964 as a sales clerk for Warden's clothing store in downtown Salina. She loved it and the customers loved her! Paul and Mary Warden took her to Dallas market every year to help buy for the store. She retired from Wardens at the age of 76.

She was an active member of the First Christian Church in Salina for decades. She loved her family dearly and put them ahead of herself. She was the heart of her family; her humble life, unbelievable strength, strong will and unconditional love has served as an inspiration to them.

Letha was preceded in death by her son Gary; husband Ralph; and son-in-law Pete Peterson. 

She is survived by daughters Pat Peterson and Donna Baxter; son-in-law, Reese Baxter; five grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren. She was buried in Greenwood Cemetery, Greenwood, Nebraska, on March 1st, 2023.

Donations may be made in remembrance of Letha to the First Christian Church, Salina, KS.

In the comfort of her home with her family, Frances Marie (Werth) Riddle, 82, passed away on March 1, 2023.

Frances "Fran" was born in Schoenchen, Kansas to Alfred and Juletta Werth, decedents of Alex and Bernadette Werth. Her family moved to Salina in 1942, where she attended and graduated from Salina Sacred Heart. 

Following graduation, Fran met and married Carl Riddle. Together they raised five children who were the center of their universe. Always the selfless and proud mother, she supported each child on their paths to adulthood, never missing an opportunity to volunteer for one of their many activities including Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Salina Silver Sabres Drum and Bugle Corps, Marching Band, sports, or their other interests.

As her family matured, Fran began a career at Beech Aircraft, eventually moving to Wichita where she retired as a crew chief in the Avionics Department after thirty years of service. 

Never one to sit idle, Fran was an excellent cook while never missing an opportunity to prepare a family feast, a meal for a sick friend, or bake a pie for any cause. She was a member of Wichita Central Christian Church where she enjoyed being a member of the Encouragers Class and the church choir. She was an avid K-State fan and a member of the Good Time Cloggers, all while continuing a second work career at Derby Steele Technologies before officially retiring and returning to Salina.

Fran above all else, loved and served the Lord while cherishing many friendships she made through the Church and her faith. After retiring and returning to Salina, she became a member of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church while often attending daily mass at one of the three Catholic churches in Salina.

She is survived by her children Michael (Marnita) Riddle of Duluth, Georgia, Catherine (Don) Craig of Oronogo, Missouri, Mark Riddle of Seven Hills, Ohio, Theresa Riddle-Clark of Hays, Kansas, and Cindy (David) Turner of Salina, Kansas. Fran is also survived by six grandchildren, Chris and Jeff Boaz, Austin and Emily Riddle (Tyler Rowson), and Zach and Zeb Turner (Sadie Farris); and great-grandchildren Saylor, Chaser and Knox Boaz. Fran was a devoted sister to LaDonna (Bob) Kasparek and brother, Keith (Deby) Werth. Other cherished members of Fran’s extended family include Karl Boaz, Jason Clark, numerous nieces and nephews, and lifelong friend Verna Bender.

She is preceded in death by her parents, brother Wayne Werth, sister Stella Werth, and a great-granddaughter, Scarlett Riddle-Rowson.

Visitation will be on Sunday, March 5, 2023, at Carlson-Geisendorf Funeral Home, 500 S. Ohio St. from 4:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m., with the rosary beginning at 6:00 p.m. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church, 1000 Burr Oak Lane, on March 6, 2023, at 10:00 a.m., with Father Keith Weber officiating. Burial will follow at the Mt. Calvary Cemetery.
