Leland J. Roush was born to Raymond R. Roush and Stella Olliff Roush on September 12, 1931. He began his new life in Glory on February 7, 2023.

Leland was a sickly child at first but through the power of prayer and eating lots of dirt, he got much better. His much-loved cousins Wayne and Arden had a pony while they were growing up and Leland had a bicycle. Leland always insisted on riding their pony when visiting them and they insisted on riding his bike when they visited him.

Sunday mornings would always find him in church, having been drugged there by his mother. He continued that tradition with his own family. Leland gave his life to Christ at an early age and never quit attending church or helping in any way possible at church until he couldn’t do it anymore. Even away from his church, one of his first questions when visiting him in Sun Porch was, “How was the church doing?”

Leland attended the country school south of the farm through 8th grade, He attended high school in Lebanon where he graduated with the class of 1949. In 1952, he was drafted into the Army to serve in the Korean War. He was trained as a medic. He didn’t say much about his time over there except during a ceasefire order, the North Koreans and Chinese were determined to send back every captured artillery round through the air plus he lost a very good friend who was a fellow medic and Christian brother from Ohio. He volunteered to be a medic on the boat rides to and from Korea which entitled him to keep his hand in the Dramamine jar a lot.

Leland was dismissed from the Army in 1954 and married the love of his life, Imogene Grace Deichen on August 22, 1954. They settled on the family farm southeast of Lebanon where Leland farmed all his life. They had 4 kids, Cindy, Kirk, Kelly, and Connie. Leland had several “hired hands” over the years until his own kids became old enough to be proteges (slaves). The grandchildren continued in those roles. Grandpa was molding character and imparting wisdom but it probably didn’t seem like it at the time. Those hired hands (Larry Jennings, Charles Luke, Roger Fricker) were like family also.

While his kids were in school, Leland and Imogene traveled many miles to high school sporting events. Later, they attended many events for their grandkids. In later years, Leland spent many Saturday afternoons watching K-state football and basketball. Sunday afternoon was reserved for the pro football predominately the Chiefs. His one regret was never attending a Kansas City Royals game.

He thoroughly enjoyed organizing and hosting 2 “Roush” cousin reunions of his fellow 1st cousins from the Roush family. On the rare times Leland and Imogene left home, the trip always included visiting relatives in various places no matter how far away they were or how distantly they were related. They also stayed with them while on the road and the relatives were always welcome to do the same at their house.

Leland was preceded in death by his wife Imogene, his parents, his sister Marjean. Those left to mourn his passing are his daughter Cindy (Arlyn) Steinert of Hoisington, son Kirk of Carrollton, Texas, son Kelly (Sue) of Lebanon, Kansas and daughter Connie (Mike) Tholstrup of Concordia, Kansas: 10 grandchildren: Jason of Hoisington, Phuong (Chris) Euless, Texas, Emily of Houston, Texas, Thomas, Austin, Texas, Scott (Brandi) of Centennial, Colorado, Ashley (Keith) of Kansas City Kansas, Jesse (Shelby) of Bolckow, Missouri, Kaden (Emily) Lebanon, Kansas, Jordan (Tecia) McPherson, Kansas, Blaine (Katie) of Concordia, Kansas. 13 great grandchildren, Brock, Lilliah, Liam, Isabelle, Oliver, Violet, Paxton, Finley, Otto, Cooper, Quincy, Corwin, Everett and 2 more in the oven. 3 in laws, Herb and April Deichen, Louise Kingsbury and numerous nieces and nephews and friends.

Shirley Bodmer was born Shirley Ann Sarver in Salina, Kansas, on May 1, 1930, and passed away peacefully surrounded by
 her three sons and their wives on February 7, 2023 in Boise, Idaho. 
 Upon graduating high school in her hometown of Natoma, Kansas, in 1948,
 Shirley attended Kansas State College and graduated in 1952.&nbsp;During 
college she belonged to the Delta Delta Delta sorority where she served 
as president. She was also a member of Mortar Board, a senior women's 
honorary society. She married Bernard A Bodmer on June 8, 1952, and
 moved to Kansas City, Kansas, where Bernard was attending Kansas 
University Medical School. While Bernard was finishing his medical 
degree, their first son, Craig, was born. When Bernard graduated medical
 school in 1955 the small family moved to Sacramento, California, for 
Bernard's medical internship. Son Ken was born during that year. Upon 
completion of his internship Bernard served in the United States Air 
Force in Sherman, Texas, where son Scott was born in 1958.&nbsp;

Following
 his service, Bernard bought a medical practice in Gooding, Idaho. 
During the next nine years, Shirley created a home for the family, 
raised her three boys, and built friendships in Gooding that lasted the 
rest of her life. Bernard brought the family to Denver, Colorado, 
in 1967 to pursue a residency in radiology, and upon completion in three

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.

Velma (Wineinger) Lervold-Bobo, Harlingen, TX

<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

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.
