Harry Edwin Reinecke

Born in Downs, Kansas, November 2, 1952. Her parents, Alvin and Eileen 
Otte, were wheat farmers continuing in the tradition of Alvin’s family. 
Carol’s older siblings Linda and Ken, and younger sister Jan, moved to 
Salina, Kansas, in 1961. If you had asked Carol, this is where she grew 
up. She lived in Salina until she was 29. 
Along with her first husband Carol gave birth to her first daughter, 
Cari Anne, on March 14, 1972. With the help of her Mom, Carol returned 
to work at the investment firm IDS. For recreation Carol and Cari 
enjoyed motorcycle touring with her Mom and Dad, and other family 
members. (Her last bike was a full-dress, shaft-drive Honda CX-500 that 
had been modified by her Dad for one of his bi-annual Arctic Circle 
motorcycle trips.) 
Carol’s younger sister Jan, living in Lawrence, Kansas, set up a 
blind-date for Carol with someone Jan’s husband played with on a 
recreational softball team. That was May 9, 1981. Jeff Sanders was her 
date’s name. They were married just 4 months later on August 14, 1981. 
Several weeks after they were married, Carol moved to Olathe, Kansas 
where Jeff was employed. 
Carol gave birth to her second daughter, Arla June, on August 13, 1982. 
(This was one day short of their 1st Wedding Anniversary.) 
Carol was employed at Grinsted Products while residing in Olathe. In 
1991, Carol and Jeff agreed to a relocation because of Jeff’s work that 
took their family to Mt. Juliet, TN, just outside of Nashville. Cari 
chose to stay in Olathe to begin her own family with David Morgan. 
Carol enjoyed working at Mt. Juliet Chiropractic for the next 11 years. 
From 2002 to 2006 life meandered from Tennessee, to Kentucky, and then 
to New Hampshire in March 2006. They remained there until their 
retirement in July 2016. Retirement led them to again relocate, but this
 time it was not because of work. Instead the purpose of this move was 
to be near kids and grandkids. This brought Carol absolute joy! 
Starting in Tennessee Carol advanced her crafting skills, especially 
making Christmas cards for her daughters and herself using an 
ever-expanding collection of Stampin’ Up stamp sets. Not only was she 
really, really good at this, but enjoyed this as her 2nd favorite 
pastime, next to her grandkids and great-granddaughter! She delivered 
most of this year’s set of cards the day before she passed away. 
Carol is survived by: Her loving husband for 41 ½ years Robert Jeffrey 
(Jeff) Sanders, residing in Fortson, GA daughter Cari Anne Morgan, and 
husband David, residing in Fortson, Georgia, granddaughter Bailee Eileen
 Walsh, her husband Andrew great-granddaughter Elsie James Walsh 
granddaughter Sarah Elizabeth Morgan grandson Adam James Morgan 
granddaughter Jillian May Morgan and Daughter Arla June Bell, and 
husband Jeffrey, residing in Seaford, Virginia granddaughter Lily Grace 
Bell and grandson Garrett Edward Bell; her sister Linda Struchen, and 
husband Don, residing in Marion, Iowa and her brother Kendall Otte, and 
wife Dixie, residing in Osage Beach, Missouri and sister Jan Henry, 
residing in Lawrence, Kansas.

Joined the U.S. Navy from 1968 to 1972, was a radio operator.

Worked for Rock Island Railroad from 1976 to 1985,&nbsp;Marion County from 1987-1994,&nbsp;ABC Rail Products and then retired from Agco Corp.

Mike enjoyed hunting, baseball, football and fishing.&nbsp;He took Andrew fishing all the time when he was little.

He loved his dogs; he had a dog, Snoopy, when he lived at home.

He trained Buddy, his red bone coonhound, for search and rescue until Buddy got sick.

Always enjoyed going to visits his aunts and uncles in Missouri and always wanted to move back there.&nbsp;When Glenna, Mike, and Jeanne (Dumpy) got together, they would reminence about Missouri.

Always enjoyed putting in a large garden.

He would tease the heck out of his nieces and nephews. When they were little he would take the Matz girls and go Christmas caroling to people's houses. I am not too sure the girls knew exactly what to expect.&nbsp;He also would tell them there was bears in the attic whenever one would spend the night.

Had the best time drinking coffee with his sister Glenna and sometimes with Dumpy.

Dumpy was his sidekick; those two came up with the darkest things.

He loved reading to his kids and he and Andrew did a lot of puzzles together.

We love you Mike. Will see you again. We know you're with family and friends and pain-free now.

<a href="https://www.schoenfhm.com/obituary/Cecil-Koster">Obituary for Cecil N. Koster | Schoen Funeral Home (schoenfhm.com)</a>

October 31, 1925 ~ December 7, 2022 (age 97)

The Good Lord finally called Cecil Nicholas Koster home on 12/07/2022, at the age of 97 Years, 1 month, and 8 days. He was ready……

Cecil was born on Halloween, October 31, 1925, the fifth of twelve children to Henry and Susan (Thomas) Koster on a farm south of Cawker City. He shared memories of joy/hardship growing up in the depression and dirty thirties…but still felt grateful for his childhood/large family. He attended schools in Cawker (St. Theresa and Cawker High) but finished his junior and senior year at St. Johns in Beloit, graduating with the class of 1943. Soon after graduation, Uncle Sam called him up. On December 9, 1943, Cecil was inducted in the U.S. Army to serve in WWII. Cecil received high speed radio training for the Signal Corps in California with deployment as a teletype operator to Germany, where he served until May 9, 1946.

Upon his honorable discharge from the service of the country, he returned to California where he was united in marriage to Mary Ulrich on July 9, 1946. Their marriage was cut short with her death on December 1, 1947.

After Mary’s death, Cecil returned to Kansas and helped with various family caretaking needs and jobs until he married a Cawker City native, Martha Mary King, on May 20, 1950. Cecil and Martha parented with Mom as the “good cop” with the ability to stretch a dollar as far as it would go and Dad as the “bad cop “with the iron fist and loud voice. But they did it…and raised seven children! After over 63 years of marriage, Martha passed away on February 19, 2014.

Cecil loved, lived and labored northeast of Cawker City for over 70 years….and his hands showed it. Milking cows, raising beef cattle, and hogs. He cut, split, and stacked wood for the shop stove. He grew a large garden to share with his loved ones. He was very resourceful in fixing things on the farm when money was tight and creative when figuring out how to make churning home-made ice and shelling black walnuts easier. He enjoyed the seasons: spring field work, summer harvest, fall calving and winter feeding the wood stove and livestock. He also was a fan of bingo and his four-legged companions, especially his last dog Jiggs. He was fortunate to have a job as a substitute rural mail carrier to supplement the income and was able to retire from the USPS after 42 years.

Cecil was preceded in death by his wives; his parents; brothers Richard, Harold, Charles, Jerome, Raymond and Robert; his sisters Marcella Hyde and Janice Koster, grandson Jarod Sloan and great-grandson Evan Boehner.

He is survived by his children Karen (Norval) Boehner, Bruce, Rebecca Wallace, Nola Sloan, Nina (Brian) Schmitz, Jeffrey (Brenda) and Kent; sisters Dolores Quenzer and Marilyn Lingg; brother Henry; and in-laws, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, and nieces/nephews too numerous to list.

A vigil rosary service will be at 7 p.m.,&nbsp;Sunday, December 11, 2022 at St Peter and Paul Catholic Church. Mass of Christian Burial will be at the same location on Monday, December 12, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. Interment will follow at Prairie Grove cemetery.

In lieu&nbsp;of flowers memorials may be made to St. Peter and Paul Catholic Church or St. John the Baptist Catholic Church.&nbsp;
