<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/JamesJim-Carrigan">Obituary for James "Jim" C. Carrigan | Ryan Mortuary</a>

November 16, 1938 ~ September 16, 2022 (age 83)

James "Jim" C. Carrigan, age 82, of Salina, passed away peacefully at his home, surrounded by family, on Friday, September 16th, 2022.

Jim was born November 16, 1938 to his parents Mike and Minnie Carrigan in Chicago, Illinois. He met his wife, Diane, in 1959 on a blind date.&nbsp; His twinkling blue eyes and contagious laugh sealed the deal. They were married for 61 years.

Jim worked as an engineering technician for Shaver &amp; Company and Bucher, Willis &amp; Ratliff Corp. before serving as the Director of Development for Sacred Heart High School. He retired from ADM Milling in 2009.

Jim didn’t know a stranger and enjoyed getting to know people, who often described him as ‘ornery’ upon first meeting.&nbsp; Faith, family, and friends were his priorities.

He was an active member of St. Mary’s Parish, serving on the parish council, as Eucharistic Minister for 35 years, and co-director of St. Mary’s Sunday pre-school program. Along with his wife, Diane, he served as a marriage sponsor for several years.

Left to cherish his memory are his wife Diane, his four children, Steve Carrigan, Scott Carrigan Lori Carrigan and Christy (Randal) Thomas, his beloved grandchildren Ethan and Miranda Reinking, brother John (Carol) Carrigan, brothers-in-law Russell (Renee) Denning and David (Ginger) Denning, sister-in-law Linda Denning, and many treasured nieces and nephews.

Jim was preceded in death by his parents Mike and Minnie Carrigan, brother Jerry Carrigan, sister Jackie Baehro, mother and father-in-law Art and Winnie Denning, and brother-in-law Peter Denning.

Jim enjoyed spending time with his family and friends and cheering on his favorite sports teams, the Chicago Cubs and da Bears, with his fur buddy, Jax, by his side.

The family would like to express their gratitude to the staff of Holiday Resort, Salina Regional Health Center, the Fresenius Dialysis Center, and the team at Interim Healthcare of Salina who treated him with kindness and compassion over the last few years.

Mass of Christian Burial will be at 10:00 a.m. Wednesday, September 21, 2022 at St. Mary Queen of the Universe Catholic Church. Burial will be in All Saints Catholic Cemetery. Visitation will be at Ryan Mortuary on Tuesday Sept. 20, 2022 from 4 until 8 p.m., where the family will receive friends from 5 until 7 p.m. and Vigil Services will be held at 7:00 p.m. that evening.

<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Keo-ORourke">Obituary for Keo Rosine (Helmke) O’Rourke | Ryan Mortuary</a>

August 17, 1932 ~ September 11, 2022 (age 90)

Keo O’Rourke, née Keo Helmke, was born August 17, 1932 to George Helmke and Rosa Bergner in a farm house three miles northeast of Iuka, KS. She was the youngest of five siblings, Dorothy Bales, Florence Curley, Flossie Ukena, and Ruth Lord, all deceased, and Benjamin Helmke of Ann Arbor, MI. She was raised during the depression on the family farm where she enjoyed singing hymns with her family and spending time outdoors. 

After graduating from high school in Pratt, she attended Bethany College in Lindsborg. 

It was at Bethany that she met Robert O’Rourke, and they married in 1953. They lived initially in Russell before moving to Iuka, Marion, Partridge, Galva, and eventually, Smith Center. In 1963 they added their son Michael to the family, followed soon thereafter by their son, Kerry, in 1965.

Keo earned her teaching certificate from Sterling College and began a career as an elementary school teacher, teaching several different grade levels during her career. After teaching in Canton, she spent most of her career in Smith Center. She was a creative and talented teacher who cared about her students and influenced many students over more than three decades of teaching.

In a life dedicated to service, Keo provided support for people through church and other organizations. She was a member of Bethany Lutheran Church in Lindsborg, becoming a Stephen Minister and visiting fellow parishioners and others in hospitals and skilled nursing facilities. 

After retiring, she would regularly read with elementary school children in Lindsborg, helping them develop their reading ability. For most of her adult life, she supported people of all ages who were struggling with family crises. After retiring from teaching, she expanded these efforts and took on several statewide leadership roles to further support those in need.

Family was fundamental for Keo. Along with Bob, she would travel to visit their sons and grandchildren, devoting most of their vacation time to building snowmen, making hamburger pie, and reading storybooks. She was excited about traveling around the United States, first with Bob and her sons and later with her niece and traveling companion, Pamela Bales. One of her last trips took her on a cruise to Alaska, which had long been a dream of hers. 

Music was also an important part of her life. After retiring from teaching in Smith Center and moving to Lindsborg, she sang alto in the Messiah choir for many years. Keo was a foodie, and cooking and baking were two central ways she communicated love to those around her. She was also essentially curious, always interested in learning about others and trying new things. Her curiosity led her to take courses at Bethany College after her retirement, including courses in philosophy, literature, and history.

Those who knew Keo admired her for her selflessness and concern for others. She was also known for her wry sense of humor, clever wit, and insight – she would on occasion talk trash during card games with her grandchildren, and she always gave as good as she got. Another trait that defined Keo was her fierce independence. It was this that helped her survive and recover from a head-on collision at highway speed in 2002. This car accident almost killed her, but she bounced back from it and continued to help others and make the world a better place.

Keo lived the last four years of her life at Riverview Estates in Marquette. She died in her sleep on Sunday, September 11, 2022.

She was the youngest of five siblings, Dorothy Bales, Florence Curley, Flossie Ukena, and Ruth Lord, all deceased, and Benjamin Helmke of Ann Arbor, MI. She was raised during the depression on the family farm where she enjoyed singing hymns with her family and spending time outdoors. After graduating from high school in Pratt, she attended Bethany College in Lindsborg. It was at Bethany that she met Robert O’Rourke, and they married in 1953. They lived initially in Russell before moving to Iuka, Marion, Partridge, Galva, and eventually, Smith Center. In 1963 they added their son Michael to the family, followed soon thereafter by their son, Kerry, in 1965.Keo earned her teaching certificate from Sterling College and began a career as an elementary school teacher, teaching several different grade levels during her career. After teaching in Canton, she spent most of her career in Smith Center. She was a creative and talented teacher who cared about her students and influenced many students over more than three decades of teaching.In a life dedicated to service, Keo provided support for people through church and other organizations. She was a member of Bethany Lutheran Church in Lindsborg, becoming a Stephen Minister and visiting fellow parishioners and others in hospitals and skilled nursing facilities. After retiring, she would regularly read with elementary school children in Lindsborg, helping them develop their reading ability. For most of her adult life, she supported people of all ages who were struggling with family crises. After retiring from teaching, she expanded these efforts and took on several statewide leadership roles to further support those in need.Family was fundamental for Keo. Along with Bob, she would travel to visit their sons and grandchildren, devoting most of their vacation time to building snowmen, making hamburger pie, and reading storybooks. She was excited about traveling around the United States, first with Bob and her sons and later with her niece and traveling companion, Pamela Bales. One of her last trips took her on a cruise to Alaska, which had long been a dream of hers. Music was also an important part of her life. After retiring from teaching in Smith Center and moving to Lindsborg, she sang alto in the Messiah choir for many years. Keo was a foodie, and cooking and baking were two central ways she communicated love to those around her. She was also essentially curious, always interested in learning about others and trying new things. Her curiosity led her to take courses at Bethany College after her retirement, including courses in philosophy, literature, and history.Those who knew Keo admired her for her selflessness and concern for others. She was also known for her wry sense of humor, clever wit, and insight – she would on occasion talk trash during card games with her grandchildren, and she always gave as good as she got. Another trait that defined Keo was her fierce independence. It was this that helped her survive and recover from a head-on collision at highway speed in 2002. This car accident almost killed her, but she bounced back from it and continued to help others and make the world a better place.Keo lived the last four years of her life at Riverview Estates in Marquette. She died in her sleep on Sunday, September 11, 2022. She is preceded in death by her husband Robert O’Rourke. She is survived by her sons Michael O’Rourke (Liela Rotschy) and Kerry O’Rourke, her grandchildren Sarah O’Rourke (Kerry) and Joshua, Lukas, and Natalie O’Rourke (Michael O’Rourke and Rebecca O’Rourke), and her great-grandchildren Lukas Jr. (Lukas O’Rourke and Yvette Carrillo) and Elijah (Joshua O’Rourke and Molly Schumer).Her life will be celebrated in a service to be held at Bethany Lutheran Church in Lindsborg on Saturday, September 24, 2022 at 10:30 a.m., followed by interment with Robert at Elmwood Cemetery.To&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Keo-ORourke/sympathy">send flowers</a>&nbsp;to the family or&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Keo-ORourke/1074854/memorial-tree">plant a tree</a>&nbsp;in memory of Keo Rosine (Helmke) O’Rourke, please&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Keo-ORourke/sympathy">visit our floral store.</a>

Margaret I. “Irene” Bengtson, 105, of Lindsborg, passed away Monday, September 5, 2022 at Bethany Home, Lindsborg.  Irene was born August 31, 1917 in Oklahoma City, OK to the late Aaron and Sigrid (Schorling) Segerhammar.

Margaret I. (Irene) Bengtson was born on August 31, 1917 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to the Rev. Aaron and Sigrid (Schorling) Segerhammar. 

      The seventh of nine children, Irene spent her formative years in Kansas and Nebraska, including Burdick, Smolan and Omaha, before settling in Lindsborg in 1934. She graduated from Lindsborg High School in 1935 and Bethany College in Lindsborg in 1939.

      Irene was a country school teacher in both Saline and McPherson Counties for nearly 10 years. She rounded out her career at Lindsborg Elementary School, where she taught seventh and eighth grade English literature, history and science.

      Irene met the love of her life, Gilbert, at Luther League - a young adult church group - in 1947. Their courtship spanned over two years, including when Gilbert served his country during World War II. After he returned, the couple wed on June 10, 1949 - the day of her deceased parents’ wedding anniversary. Gilbert and Irene shared a love of sports, often attending college football and basketball games.

      The couple resided on the Bengtson family farm near Lindsborg for 37 years, where Gilbert farmed, and Irene played the role of farm wife and mother to their two sons, John and Don. 

      After raising her family, Irene returned to her love of educating others by working for the USD 400 Central Office, followed by the Swedish Country Inn. 

She was active at Bethany Lutheran Church and in the Lindsborg community, including WELCA, WestSide Club, Lindsborg Hospital Auxiliary, the Retired Teachers Association, and the Historical Society. She served as the long-time secretary of the Oratorio Society and sang in Handel’s Messiah at Bethany College for more than 60 years.

      Later in life, Irene enjoyed having coffee with friends and family, baking, hosting family dinners, watching the Kansas City Royals (she witnessed both World Series wins in 1985 and 2015), sharing her Swedish heritage with family, and attending her grandsons’ athletic and musical events.

      Though she never owned a cell phone or had an email address, Irene recalled three important events in her early years: polio was eradicated, penicillin was discovered, and the television was invented. She witnessed 19 presidents in office and fondly recalls the first man landing on the moon. 

      Many remember Irene’s sense of humor. Even on her 105th birthday, she joked, “What am I? 312?” She said the two things she regretted in life were that she never learned to swim or ride a bike. No matter how big of a meal she had, she always had room for ice cream.

      It is estimated that less than 1% of the world’s population lives past the age of 100. Known as a Centenarian, Irene was born when gasoline was 4 cents a gallon, a brand-new car cost $400, and the average wage was 22 cents an hour.  At her 100th birthday celebration, Irene declared that her next goal in life was to make it to 105, and she did just that. She will be missed by all who were blessed to know her.

      Irene passed away peacefully on September 5, 2022. She was preceded in death by Gilbert, her husband of 41 years; her parents; eight siblings; and many family members and friends.

      She is survived by her two sons John Bengtson and Don Bengtson (Kathey), both of Lindsborg, Kansas; her sister-in-law Bea Bengtson of Clarksville, Maryland; her four grandsons, Kenneth Bengtson of McPherson, Kansas, Brad Bengtson (Jessica) of McPherson, Kansas, Brian Bengtson of Lindsborg, Kansas, and Mark Bengtson (Courtney) of Wichita, Kansas; her eight great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild; and numerous nieces, nephews and extended family members - all whom she loved dearly. 

Cremation has been chosen.  Memorial services will be held 11:00 a.m., Monday, September 19, 2022 at Bethany Lutheran Church, Lindsborg, with Pastor Chris Deines officiating.  Private family inurnment and committal services will be held before the memorial.

Memorial contributions may be made to Bethany Lutheran Church or to the Gustafson-Segerhammar Endowed Scholarship Fund at Bethany College.  Memorials may be sent in care of Crick-Christians Funeral Home, 103 N. Washington, Lindsborg, KS 67456.

Orlin Elwell Eigsti, age 96, passed away on September 12, 2022 at Newton Medical Center. Orlin was born October 8, 1925, near Wayland, Iowa. He was the oldest of five children born to Emery and Edna (Wenger) Eigsti. After him came Doris (Dean) Meyer, Ruth (Delmar) Miller, Marilyn Eigsti and Mervin (Ardith) Eigsti. Orlin attended school, through high school, in the Wayland Iowa Consolidated School District. Along with basketball and baseball, he played the cornet in the school band. Orlin accepted Christ as his personal Savior and was baptized at the age of 13. He was a member of Sugar Creek Mennonite Church, Wayland, Iowa, where he served as Sunday School superintendent, MYF sponsor, and elder. On February 22, 1948, he married his life-long sweetheart, Ina Mae Freyenberger, at the same farm house which served as their family home. It was there that they raised their sons. Daniel Joe was born in 1949 and Thomas Lee (Paula) in 1950. In addition to farming the family farm, Orlin served dozens of families and school children, for many years as a bus driver. In 1969, Orlin and Ina held a farm auction and began a courageous adventure of service to others. This service took them to Richmond, Virginia as houseparents to young adult volunteers, Frontier Boys Village, Larkspur, Colorado, as houseparents for emotionally disturbed boys and Elkhart, Indiana with Mennonite Board of Missions. By 1977, a job opening in the grounds department at Hesston College lured the farmer in Orlin. This led to relocating to Hesston, Kansas. He worked the grounds department for 11 years at the college and 11 years at Stutzman Retreat Center. During this time, Orlin became a member of Hesston Mennonite Church where he contributed faithfully for over 40 years. After retiring in 1999, he and Ina moved into independent living at Schowalter Villa. He continued to serve by volunteering for the Et Cetera Shop, Meals on Wheels, Methodist Youthville. He also provided transportation for Schowalter Villa residents who were unable to drive to appointments. In 2015, Orlin and Ina moved to an assisted living apartment within the Schowalter Villa complex. He continued living there until his death. His upbeat personality, positive perspective, and trust in God, strengthened him through life challenges and brought joy and inspiration to everyone around him. His heart for service endeared him to many and brings a legacy of blessing to his children and grandchildren.

He is survived by wife Ina; sister-in-law Ardith Eigsti; sons Dan and Tom; daughter-in-law Paula; grandchildren Cherise (Chad) Fidler, Shanna (Micah) Beachy, Melissa (Cory) Lamb, Chad (Sondra) Eigsti and Nathan (Courney) Eigsti; as well as 10 great-grandchildren. He also leaves behind many nieces and nephews who loved and respected Orlin. He was preceded in death by his parents; sisters Doris, Ruth and Marilyn; and brother Mervin. Memorial service is scheduled for Saturday, October 8, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. at the Hesston Mennonite Church.

The service will be live streamed at&nbsp;<a href="http://www.hesstonmc.org/memorial" target="_blank">www.hesstonmc.org/memorial</a>.

The family suggests that in lieu of flowers, memorials can be given to Schowalter Villa Good Samaritan Fund or Hesston College in care of Miller-Ott Funeral Home, P.O. Box 32, Hesston, KS 67062.
