<a href="https://www.wigginsfuneralhomes.com/obituaries/Lavera-Lane/#!/TributeWall">LaVera L. Lane Obituary - Visitation &amp; Funeral Information (wigginsfuneralhomes.com)</a>

LaVera L. Lane, age 102, died on December 21, 2022. She was born on July 28, 1920 in Stover, Missouri, the twin daughter of Gavert Brunjes and Emma Brunjes. 

On August 2, 1942, she married Jay C. Lane. They moved to McPherson in 1946. Two daughters were born to this union, Madeline Diane and Vicki Ja. She was an inspiration to many. In 1963, LaVera was walking on the sidewalk in downtown McPherson when she was hit by a car. She spent 9 months in the hospital. With hard work, determination, and a positive attitude, she learned to walk again. LaVera was an avid sports fan. She was often saying, “How about those Chiefs?” and “How about those Royals?” There were several years when she watched or listened to every Royals game of the season. She surprised many people with her knowledge of the players and their statistics. She had many interests. One of her hobbies was reading the newspaper. At one time, she received five different papers and would read each one from cover to cover. She enjoyed playing cards with family and friends. If she had a spare moment, she would want to “play a quick hand.” She was a great cook and had a talent for making an average meal taste like a gourmet feast. She was the happiest when surrounded by her family. The welfare of her family always came first. She will be missed. She was a member of the First Presbyterian Church, a life member of the American Legion Auxiliary, and a life member of the McPherson Hospital Auxiliary. Survivors include daughter Madeline and husband Robert Stawnicz, and daughter Vicki and husband Mark Johnson. Survivors also include grandsons Mathew Sumner and Ryan Sumner and granddaughter Taylon Bush, as well as great-granddaughter Hailey Jay Sumner, and great-grandsons Lane Sumner and Miles Bush, and nieces Susan Shaffer, Patty Jameson and Linda Kays. She was preceded in death by her husband Jay, her grandson Britton Johnson, her sisters Valera Schuman and Ardella Kays, and her brother Norman Brunjes. A celebration of her life will be held on January 14, 2023 at 3:00 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church in McPherson. A private burial will be at the McPherson Cemetery prior to the celebration of life. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to the First Presbyterian Church, 1400 N. Main, McPherson, Kansas 67460, or Gentiva Hospice, 900 E. First Street, Suite W1, McPherson, Kansas 67460.

I will lie down and sleep in peace; for you alone, O Lord, make me lie down in safety. Psalm 4:8

Born in Salina, Kansas March 31, 1941 - December 31, 2022

Ron Swenson moved from this life to the next on December 31, 2022. Not
 wanting to be an April Fools baby, he was born late on the 31st of 
March 1941. Ron had a subtle sense of humor that surprised others. His 
Hospice caregivers laughed as he waved good-bye with the paw of his 
little black bear, Scooter. Scooter entered Ron’s life while he and his 
wife Carole (Carly) were on one of their many trips. They escaped Kansas
 weather traveling to Arizona; explored Mexico in a Chevy with Ron’s 
brothers David (wife Tommye of Bluffton, SC) and Larry (wife Cynthia of 
McPherson, KS); enjoyed Christmas in Costa Rica; trekked through Europe 
with son Robert (children Roriker and Antonia of Overland Park, KS); had
 future plans to see UC at Chapel Hill with Rory who is a sophomore; 
appreciated art wherever he went, hanging an oil painting done just for 
him by Annie above his desk; happily remembered many a trip with 
daughter Christine Walsh and her husband Dennis (Leawood, KS) and 
children Michaela (husband Evan Wright and their children Jonah, 
Georgia, Gwen, and Josie of Overland Park), Luke (Taiwan), Evan (wife 
Jess), Levi, and Paul (all of the San Francisco area); swapped travel 
stories with Ron’s sister Karen Bastin and husband John (Salina, KS); 
experienced history in Williamsburg, VA with friends Janet and David 
Paden (Lawrence, KS); cruised the Alaska inside passage and got a “birds
 eye view” of Alaska with Carole’s late brother and private pilot, David
 Byrd (Anchorage, AK); encountered Carole’s late sister Marilyn Brannon 
and husband Jack (Colombia MO) while vacationing in Colorado; had second
 hand pleasure from the 6 months travel adventures of Ron’s brother 
David and Tommye; hiked many a National Park as well as many trails with
 friend Steve Winer (Caritos, CA); basked in the beauty of Hawaii with 
Ron’s sister Marilyn Schmiedeler and late husband Mike (Salina, KS); and
 camped with Carole’s cousin Jan Embree Bever and her husband John in 
Chaco Canyon (Silver City, NM). Travel and experiencing other cultures 
was a core element in Ron’s life. Ron believed the happiest 
people were those who lose their life in the service to others. He 
helped start Celebration of Cultures in Lawrence to share with Lawrence 
residents the variety of cultures of students at Haskell Indian Nations 
University, as well as KU students and staff. He felt blessed by his 
volunteer Mission trips in Guatemala building homes and churches and 
worshipping with local communities. Church rummage sales raising funds 
for different charities, and estate sales to help people down-size and 
move into a retirement community to begin a new phase of life were 
frequent later years activities. If his church had a sale, Ron was there
 to help. A quiet, in the background kind of guy, Ron had many 
skills he learned from his family, Boy Scouts, school, friends and 
family and as a result of his natural abilities.&nbsp; He could fix or repair
 most everything, keeping his dad happy using old toasters, radios, 
tools and lamps.&nbsp; Ron could build, start, and maintain a fire for 
cooking in a down pour. And those meals were unforgettable. He 
created schedules for 100+ student rotation through specialized 
curriculum materials making tracking and scoring Carole’s classes 
manageable. Ron helped develop the computerized IEP system 
(Individualized Education Plan) for the Northwest Kansas Education 
Region, then the state and national reporting system for school 
districts. Not active in sports, Ron was an Eagle Scout and was a
 photographer for his high school newspaper and yearbook. He played the 
clarinet and tenor saxophone in high school and became a ham radio 
operator (K0SWU) then communicating with other hams all over the world, 
including Carole’s late father (W0MMO). Ron was diagnosed with 
colon cancer in 2000, then had a recurrence in 2020. He battled through 
surgery, chemo, radiation and hyperbaric treatments. He spent his last 
six months at Aberdeen Village Retirement Community. He 
peacefully went to join his Savior on December 31st, where he wanted to 
be, in his home apartment, with his family and Aberdeen friends.

A memorial service will be held on January 20th at 1pm at Aldersgate United Methodist Church, 15315 W. 151st, Olathe, KS 66062. In
 lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to Boy Scout Troop 
315 for their campout fund or Aldergate Preschool for scholarships. 
Either contribution can be mailed to Aldersgate United Methodist Church 
15315 W. 151st, Olathe, KS 66062.

skills he learned from his family, Boy Scouts, school, friends and 
family and as a result of his natural abilities.&nbsp; He could fix or repair
 most everything, keeping his dad happy using old toasters, radios, 
tools and lamps.&nbsp; Ron could build, start, and maintain a fire for 
cooking in a down pour. And those meals were unforgettable. He 
created schedules for 100+ student rotation through specialized 
curriculum materials making tracking and scoring Carole’s classes 
manageable. Ron helped develop the computerized IEP system 
(Individualized Education Plan) for the Northwest Kansas Education 
Region, then the state and national reporting system for school 
districts. Not active in sports, Ron was an Eagle Scout and was a
 photographer for his high school newspaper and yearbook. He played the 
clarinet and tenor saxophone in high school and became a ham radio 
operator (K0SWU) then communicating with other hams all over the world, 
including Carole’s late father (W0MMO). Ron was diagnosed with 
colon cancer in 2000, then had a recurrence in 2020. He battled through 
surgery, chemo, radiation and hyperbaric treatments. He spent his last 
six months at Aberdeen Village Retirement Community. He 
peacefully went to join his Savior on December 31st, where he wanted to 
be, in his home apartment, with his family and Aberdeen friends.A memorial service will be held on January 20th at 1pm at Aldersgate United Methodist Church, 15315 W. 151st, Olathe, KS 66062. In
 lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to Boy Scout Troop 
315 for their campout fund or Aldergate Preschool for scholarships. 
Either contribution can be mailed to Aldersgate United Methodist Church 
15315 W. 151st, Olathe, KS 66062.

Judy Linnemann was born Judith Mary Sedlacek in Marysville, Kansas, to Frank and Eileen Sedlacek August 27, 1949. She passed away peacefully in her sleep December 31, 2022, in Manhattan, Kansas, in the company of her family.

Judy spent her childhood outdoors, hunting for arrowheads and running the fields and creeks of her family’s farm alongside her older sisters Rosalie (McKee) and Beth (Warders). Though the family moved to Blue Rapids in her early teens, the “Shady Nook” farm on the west river road just north of Waterville remained a gathering spot for friends and family and her home for the rest of her life.

In 1967, she was part of the inaugural graduating class of Valley Heights High School, and after graduation, moved to Colorado to attend Denver Women’s College.

In 1974 she gave birth to her son, Travis. Judy was a devoted and doting mother, throwing her energies wholeheartedly into her son’s activities, whatever they might be.

She married Jerry Linnemann in 1978. Thereafter, Judy, Travis, Jerry and his children Stan, Linda, Rick and Julie made a home on Ann Street in Marysville. Though she held a variety of jobs throughout her life, it was her time operating The Mercantile in Waterville with Beth and a lawn and garden center in Marysville with Jerry, that gave her the most satisfaction.

Judy was a great fan of folk and country music and loved to play the guitar and sing with her sisters, nieces, and nephews or whoever else might want to sit in. She also had a great eye for antiques and rarely declined an opportunity to take in an auction or just go “junkin’.”

From the late 1990s to the early 2000s, she lived in southeast Nebraska on a bluff overlooking the Missouri river and spent her summers there on the water.

Her retirement years were spent in Manhattan, where she continued to scour antique stores, keep up with friends and family and eagerly await summer visits from her son and the Wildcats and the Chiefs each fall. As a family member aptly described her, “she was pure and sweet to her core, with just the right amount of orneriness.”

Judy is survived by Travis Linnemann and Corina Medley (Manhattan), Rick and Kelly Linnemann (Manhattan), Rosalie and Jerry McKee (Salina), Beth and Gary Warders (Waterville) and a large extended family of McKees and Warders, all of whom she loved dearly.

The family will greet friends during a visitation from 9:30 until 11:00a.m. Saturday January 7, 2023 at the Yorgensen-Meloan-Londeen Funeral Home in Manhattan.

Private inurnment will be held at a later date.
