Larry Lane&nbsp;was born on April 30, 1948, to Everton and Lillian (Christ) (Dowden) Lane, in Salina, Kansas. He passed away Thursday, March 2, 2023, surrounded by family in his home.

Larry suffered from COPD and had returned to his home under the care of Gentiva Hospice.

He graduated from Salina High School in 1967. He then was drafted into the Army during the Vietnam War. 

Larry returned to Salina after his service in 1972, where he began his career with the City of Salina, until his retirement in 2010. 

He was married to Neva (Davis) (Yeagley) on May 12, 1990. Larry spent much of his free time fishing and boating.

Larry is survived by his son Trenten (Hannah) Walters, Salina, and stepson Jared (Marie) Yeagley, of Wichita; sister Roma (Troy) Zachary, and brother Hal (Cindy) Lane, and sister-in-law Patricia Lane of Oklahoma; nephews Josh (Amanda) Lane, Jeremy (Lori) Lane, nieces Barbara Bauman, Belinda McDaniel, Stacy (Barry) Doyle, and Alyssa (Eric) Lane-Blancho; great-nieces and nephews, and his companion cat, Indiana Jones.

Larry is preceded in death by his parents Everton and Lillian Lane, his wife Neva Lane, a brother, Ronnie Lane, and nephew Eric Bauman.

A Celebration of Life will be held on a come-and-go basis, starting at 1 p.m., and ending at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, April 30, 2023, at Lakewood Discovery Center. We will focus on the fact that it would have been Larry’s 75th birthday, so we will be serving cake to celebrate.

Paul E. Junk passed away peacefully with his family, on March 7th, 2023. Paul was born on July 30th, 1936, to Thomas Junk and Anna Krier in Osborne, KS. Paul was the youngest of 13 who have all preceded him in death. He graduated in 1955 from J.K. Mullen High School in Fort Logan, CO,&nbsp;&nbsp; where he was very active in sports. In 1956 he joined the US Navy where he served honorably. He moved to Salina, KS in his early 20s, where he met and married his wife, Carol Albers. They were married for 59 years and had two children, Mike, and Michelle. In 1969, Paul started a cabinet company, Crestwood Inc. The business originated out of a small shop in south Salina and grew into a burgeoning custom cabinet business that is known nationwide and employs around 150 people in the Salina area. Paul was not afraid of taking risks and pursing what he did best, building things and working with his hands. He had an uncanny ability to imagine a tool for a particular purpose and invent it himself. He decided to start the business after having to discard low quality cabinets that he had ordered for a house he was building.&nbsp; He said to himself, “If they can build them that bad, I can too” and that’s how it started.

Paul demonstrated tremendous dedication and devotion to his family, community, and church. He was a devout Catholic and was active in Saint Mary’s Parish throughout his life. Paul served on the board of directors for several Salina businesses and charities. He was inducted into the Salina Business Hall of Fame, which honors small business leaders who have made extraordinary contributions to Salina. He was a member of Salina Country Club and was an avid golfer throughout his life.

Paul was a loving and supportive husband and father. He was blessed with six beautiful grandchildren, five of which lived down the block and often spent more time at their grandparent’s house than their own. Paul was an outstanding role model for his entire family. He instilled the value of hard work, humility, forgiveness, and love. Indeed, he left the world a better place.

He is survived by his wife, Carol Junk of Salina KS; his children Michelle (Katrina Schulze) Haines of Kansas City, Mike (Katie) Junk of Salina; six grandchildren, Haley (Will) Humphrey of Kansas City, Hannah Junk of Omaha NE, Kyler, Elyse, Tessa, and Eli Junk of Salina.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at Saint Mary’s Parish Saturday March 11th&nbsp;at 10 am. Burial will be held at the All Saints Catholic Cemetery. Visitation celebrating Paul’s life will be held at Ryan Mortuary on Friday March 10th&nbsp;from 5pm-7pm. Vigil services will be held at 7pm. In lieu of flowers memorials are suggested to Saint Mary’s Grade School and Sacred Heart Jr./Sr. High School

She was the first school board member named to the Kansas State Board for Teacher Professional Practices and the Kansas State Board for Teacher Accreditation. She also served on the Prairie Enterprise Project Community Economic Development board. 

Using her architecture degree, Peg designed their home in Ellsworth, a 4,256-square-foot retreat complete with a tower and bridge.&nbsp;

In her later years, Peg devoted enormous amounts of time to her children, grandchildren, and friends. She spent her energy doing what she loved, working to make her corner of the world a better place to live. Her great delights were being with family, traveling the world, cooking and eating delicious food (with lots of garlic and onions), enforcing proper grammar, and exploring the backroads of Kansas. She spent one day submerged in the Pacific Ocean in the USS Topeka Los Angeles class nuclear submarine, where she raised the periscope, experienced angles and dangles, ate with the crew, and climbed the 50-foot sail. Another major highlight was piloting the Goodyear Blimp one afternoon over Houston with a friend and one crew. She and her husband loved to travel to out-of-the-way places. They were in Panama in 1999 when the oversight of the famous Panama Canal was transferred from the U.S. to Panama; they were in Hong Kong in 1997 when the crown colony officially reverted to Chinese sovereignty ending 156 years of British rule. She may have been the only person in Kansas who watched (on her computer) the entirety of the failed Turkish military coup attempt against its country to take control as it transpired on the Bosphorus Bridge in Istanbul.

Before most people even knew what a blog was, Peg was nationally recognized as the first female community daily blogger by the Wall Street Journal. She continued her daily blogging about Kansas events for ten years. She was the second person, following only the city administrator, in the Ellsworth area to get connected to the internet. Many family conversations subsequently were prefaced with “Don’t blog this, but…” or else it was eligible for publishing. Peg’s computer was her lifeline to the outside world. She made lifelong worldwide friends in mIRC chat rooms.&nbsp;

Peg chose to relocate to Presbyterian Manor on November 28, 2012, to receive all the health care she might need, get out from underneath her kids’ feet, and never have to relocate again while continuing to live independently with a modicum of help. Her door was always open; she shared countless bottles of wine with good company. Anytime KU played basketball, she rounded up her fellow “2nd-floor cheerleaders” to cheer them on. She managed beautifully to live a completely independent life surrounded by friends at the “Palace,” as she called it.&nbsp;

As a lifelong secular humanist and Democrat, she immersed herself in efforts to preserve the separation of church and state and raise awareness of feminist and equality issues. She was a lifelong proponent of public education, environmental awareness, and a woman’s right to choose.

Her body was cremated at the deceased's request, and there will be no service. Also, there will be no “celebration of life” as she said she wouldn’t be here to enjoy it and she’d already had many such celebrations over the years to which all of you had been invited, at least once, and probably many more times. The family doesn’t dare deviate from her wishes (she was in charge!) but encourages you to share a final toast in her honor. We recommend choosing an Ennio Morricone (Italian composer) score as your background ambiance. She listened to him daily on YouTube in her final months.&nbsp;

The family suggests memorial donations to any organization of your choice that enables Peg’s activism and impact on the world to continue. Her family thanks you for your lifetime of friendship, which she treasured.&nbsp;

February 3, 1925 ~ March 3, 2023 (age 98)

Ann Sipavich&nbsp;was born in Mackville, Kentucky on February 3, 1925, to Thomas Durr and Laura Lee (Board) Durr. When Ann was 13 months old her family moved to DeKalb County, Illinois. 

She was a 1943 graduate of Kirkland High School, Kirkland, IL. 

She died March 3, 2023, at the age of 98 in Salina, KS, at Eaglecrest, where she had lived for the past 10 years.

Ann first married Delmer Way and after that marriage ended, she married William Sipavich in 1953. She and Bill were married for 47 years.

Ann worked throughout her life and took pride in doing a good job. Her first job, at age 16, was as a waitress at a diner. She was working at the diner the day Pearl Harbor was bombed and was prompted by a customer to turn the radio up so he could hear the news. She worked in several places during her life and will be best known for being the head of the housewares department at Ace Hardware, several years at DeKalb Ag Research, and as a “lunch lady” at Northern Illinois University dorms.

Ann was a wonderful mother and wanted nothing more than to see her children reach adulthood as happy individuals. She supported her children in pursuing their vastly different interests throughout their lives, and expressed her pride in their accomplishments. She was an excellent cook and often served company untried recipes because she’d know it was a keeper if people took second helpings. She loved getting together with family and friends; it was a common occurrence for friends to drop in for a visit, knowing the coffee would be on and cookies close at hand. Ann was beloved by her children’s friends and she loved hearing news about them through the years. 

She loved to crochet, learning the craft in midlife, and produced an impressive number of baby blankets and afghans. Ann was known for her sense of humor, which remained intact to the end. 

She was a member of First Baptist Church in DeKalb for 50+ years and took great comfort in her faith. Even as dementia took its toll, she could still recite the Lord’s Prayer.

Ann is survived by her daughter Lori (Nick) Berezovsky, Salina, KS, sister-in-law Gloria Durr, grandchildren Angela (Mark) Gorman, Carri (Mike) Novak, Max (Iryna) Berezovsky, and Zoya (Max) Zhuravlov, 12 great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother John O. Durr, sister Nancy Whitney, son Curtis Way, and grandson Travis Way.

Memorials may be made to First Baptist Church, 349 S. 3rd St., DeKalb, IL 60115.

Funeral services will be announced at a later date to be held in DeKalb.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Hannah Calley Seal. 

Hannah was the loving mother of Juniper Mae and the adoring wife of Thomas Gabriel Seal. She was born in Salina, KS, on December 28, 1998, where she was raised and loved by Sammy &amp; Kristen Cell and Jeff and LaShon Turner. Hannah graduated from Salina Central High School in 2017 and then moved to San Clemente, CA, to be with her husband. They were stationed at Camp Pendleton for four years and had their daughter Juniper in 2019. Becoming a mother was Hannah’s greatest joy. In 2021, Hannah returned to Kansas to be near family and attend Salina Tech’s nursing program. Hannah obtained her practical nurse license on June 10, 2022. Upon her husband’s completion of the Border Patrol Academy, they purchased their first home in Palm Valley, TX. Hannah worked on the Comprehensive Medical Unit at Valley Baptist Medical Center in Harlingen, TX. The love and compassion she shared for her patients was extraordinary. Hannah was awarded the Guardian Angel Award, which recognizes caregivers who made a difference during a patient’s hospital stay. This award is a nationwide honor that truly highlights the passion she had as a nurse. Hannah enjoyed making memories with her family, going on adventures, traveling, exercising, cuddling her beloved fur babies, Oliver and Gus, shopping way too often, and soaking up the sun at the beach. Her favorite trips were to Catalina Island, Cozumel, where she swam with dolphins, and Ensenada, where she held a baby lion. Her hobbies included reading, painting, crafts, riding horses, decorating their home, and movie nights with her family. Hannah dreamed of the day when they would be able to purchase a farm where they could have horses, so she could share her passion with her daughter. Hannah is survived by daughter Juniper Seal; husband Gabe Seal; parents Sammy and Kristen Cell (KS), LaShon and Jeff Turner (KS); sisters Rachael and Ricardo Galvan (KS), Amanda Hutton (KS), Megan Hutton (KS), Kylie Fulton (AZ), Cierra Cell (KS), Jordan and Jayson Chapman (FL), Madison Starr (KS), and Sadie Starr (KS). Funeral services will be held on Friday, March 10, 2023 at 1:00 p.m. in the Roselawn Memorial Heights Chapel, Salina.

In lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be made to Juniper Seal’s college fund through Roselawn Burial and Cremation Services or Central National Bank of Salina, KS.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the Roselawn Burial and Cremation Services. 

Online condolences may be sent to www.roselawnsalina.com.

Marjorie A. Crist, 98, Salina, passed away Sunday, March 5, 2023, at the Salina Presbyterian Manor.&nbsp; She was born April 11, 1924, in Superior, NE to Russell and Doris (Hathaway) Bell. 

They moved to a farm northeast of Minneapolis, KS when she was two years old. Her parents farmed during the difficult times of the 1930s. 

She attended the Birnam rural one-room school for early grades then graduated from Minneapolis High School.

Marjorie was married to Riley D. Tibbits in 1941 and they farmed together in the Ottawa County area for many years. They had three children, John, George, and Darlene. She later married Bernie Crist in 1970 and lived in Minneapolis and Salina, KS.&nbsp;

Marjorie was an accomplished seamstress, making clothes for her family and others. She owned and operated a sewing and alteration business in Salina for several years.&nbsp; She also worked as a nursing assistant at different hospitals over her work life. She especially enjoyed her work with new mothers in the maternity care center at Salina Regional Health Center and retired from there when she turned 70.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Marjorie liked to be active and had several interests she was passionate about. She delighted in her flower garden and looked forward to the new planting season each spring with multiple trips to obtain the most interesting plants to carefully tend over the growing and blooming seasons. Her lawn and landscaping also showed her detailed care.&nbsp; Other summer highlights always included baseball. She greatly enjoyed watching grandchildren, then great-grandchildren play ball. She was most recently seen cheering on the sidelines at age 96 and sure hated to miss out on these events. Watching the Royals on TV was also a favorite pastime.

&nbsp;During the winter months, her attention turned to sewing and she meticulously stitched grandchildren’s pajamas and clothing as well as for their dolls or Cabbage Patch kids. Marjorie also was an excellent quilter and enjoyed the art as well as gifting family and friends with her creations.&nbsp;&nbsp; Winter also meant KU basketball which she enjoyed watching on TV until last week.

She loved her family and was very proud of each member, always asking for specific updates on the sport or activity or milestone of each person. She found joy in sharing and staying involved in the family. She hosted many holiday gatherings and summer picnics to keep everyone connected. Visiting with neighbors and friends was also a favorite pastime and a priority for her to find commonality and relate with others.&nbsp; 

Woven throughout her life was a keen love and respect of nature and a nurturing spirit to help those in need. In these ways, she also portrayed faith in God. She believed in Jesus for her salvation.

Survivors are her son George Tibbits and his wife, Linda; daughter Darlene Timmerman; daughter-in-law Rosalee Tibbits; sisters-in-law Shirley Bell and Cheryl Bell. Grandchildren include Tom Tibbits and his wife Nicole; Tim Tibbits and his wife Teresa; Greg Tibbits; Kevin Tibbits and his wife Amanda; Amy Sachau and her husband David; Sara Williams and her husband Troy; Jay Timmerman and his wife Melanie; and 12 great-grandchildren.

Marjorie was preceded in death by her parents; son John T. Tibbits; infant daughter Mary Katherine; siblings Duane and James Bell, and Lorraine Meehan; and her husbands Riley D. Tibbits and Bernie Crist

Visitation will begin at 11:00 a.m., Friday, March 10, at Wilson Family Funeral Home, 405 Argyle Ave., Minneapolis, KS 67467, where services will begin at 1:00 p.m. Burial will be in Highland Cemetery, Minneapolis. 

Memorials may be made to the Salina Presbyterian Manor and left in care of the funeral home.
