<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Jennifer-Moyer">Obituary for Jennifer Lynn (King) Moyer | Ryan Mortuary</a>

Jennifer Lynn (King) Moyer, 57, passed away peacefully in her sister’s arms and next to her precious dog, Porsha, on July 1, 2022.

Jennifer was the dearly loved daughter of Dan and Nancy King, loved sister of Lori Chart (Michael) of Salina and cherished aunt of Brock Chart (Dominique) of Lawrence and Austin Chart of Morris, Minnesota.

In 2005 she married her soulmate Michael Moyer in Idaho Falls, Idaho before they relocated to Salina to be closer to our parents in 2009.

Jennifer graduated from Central High School in 1983. Jennifer was an amazing cello player and artist and had a great love of showing steers at the fair when she was younger.

Jennifer had an amazing connection and love for animals, finding them much easier to communicate with then people.

Jennifer made sure we were supporting any animal in need by our donations.

Her mastiff, Porsha Shae, was her best friend and loyal companion especially after the loss of her husband Michael in 2020.

We also lost our amazing parents Daniel C. King in 2017 and Nancy Lee King in 2020.

It was Jennifer’s wish to be cremated and her ashes will be placed with her loyal canine companion’s ashes. A private family burial will be held at a later date.

“Though her smile is gone forever and her hand I cannot touch, I still have so many memories of the sister I loved so much.”

Marshal Craig Funk,&nbsp;formerly of McPherson

<a href="https://www.stockhamfamily.com/obituaries/marshal-funk">Marshal C. Funk Obituary 2022 - Stockham Funeral Home (stockhamfamily.com)</a>

A memorial service will be held July 17th&nbsp;at 2:00 p.m. at the McPherson Community Building, 122 E Marlin, McPherson, KS.&nbsp; To view a live stream broadcast of the service, please click on the following link:&nbsp;<a href="https://evt.live/memorial-service-for-marshal-c-funk">https://evt.live/memorial-service-for-marshal-c-funk</a>

Marshal Craig Funk, 43, of Redmond, Washington and formerly of McPherson, Kansas, passed away on Saturday, June 11, 2022, at his home.&nbsp;

Marshal was born September 13, 1978, to Willard R. and Janet I. (Schmidt) Funk in McPherson, Kansas.&nbsp; He attended Sonshine Preschool, Lincoln Elementary School, McPherson Middle School and McPherson High School.&nbsp; Marshal enjoyed school and learning.&nbsp;

A friend and neighbor, Shawn Hein, was a big part of Marshal’s childhood.&nbsp; It was almost as if they were twins.&nbsp; Where one was, the other was never far away.&nbsp; Marshal enjoyed school and the relationships he had with his teachers.&nbsp; At an early age, Marshal developed an interest in space exploration and meteorology.&nbsp; Many hours were spent at the Cosmosphere in Hutchinson.&nbsp; He knew the mission of every space flight and what it involved.&nbsp; 

He was also interested in observing weather.&nbsp; Initially he was terrified of storms and severe weather.&nbsp; Needless to say, the Weather Channel was on almost constantly, especially on days when there were weather alerts.&nbsp; When tornado sirens went off, we usually went to the neighbor’s basement for shelter.&nbsp; On one of those days, his dad noticed his backpack was moving and squirming.&nbsp; Marshal had packed four kittens in there to take to the neighbor’s basement.&nbsp;&nbsp; Eventually after learning what causes severe weather, he became more rational and even wanted to go out and chase storms.

Marshal attended First Baptist Church regularly with his family.&nbsp; In 1988, he was baptized after professing his faith in Christ.&nbsp; Marshal would look forward to spending time with family and friends.&nbsp; At family reunions, he enjoyed sharing his jokes and puns.&nbsp; Marshal also enjoyed vacations with his family, especially time in the mountains of Colorado.

Marshal played trombone in the middle school band and jazz band.&nbsp; This carried over to the high school marching band, pep band and jazz band.&nbsp; Marshal enjoyed reading, and read many books from a wide range of genres.&nbsp; Early in high school, Marshal was hired at the local Dairy Queen where he developed a good work ethic.

Marshal graduated from high school in 1997 and went on to Kansas State University where he participated in marching band his freshman year.&nbsp; He worked as an assistant for two years at Goodnow Residence Hall.&nbsp; He graduated in 2002 with a degree in history and a minor in computer science.

After graduating from college, Marshal packed up his car and moved to Seattle, Washington, where he had a job waiting for him through his friend, Daniel Horn.&nbsp; He worked at various software companies, including Marchex, White Pages, Amazon and others, ending up at the University of Washington.&nbsp; 

Marshal enjoyed cooking and was happy to give his advice on cooking procedures to those of us less able. In an uncharacteristic move, Marshal became a dedicated Seattle Seahawks fan for several years when he had access to season tickets through his apartment manager.&nbsp; In 2014 when the Seahawks won a Super Bowl, it was time to move on.&nbsp;

We always looked forward to Marshal being home at Christmas and catching up on life’s events.&nbsp; Marshal had a quiet and reserved personality, but he was a positive influence in the lives of people he knew and worked with.&nbsp; Marshal will be greatly missed.

Marshal is survived by his father Willard Funk (Mary) of McPherson, KS; step-brothers Ryan Shaw (Jordan) and family of Cheney, KS and Connor Shaw of Kansas City, KS; and several aunts, uncles and cousins.&nbsp;

A special thanks to Roger and Karen Horn, Daniel and Ashley Horn, and their families for including Marshal in their holiday family celebrations and dinners.

He was preceded in death by his mother Janet Funk, and his grandparents Peter, Jr. and Hilda Schmidt and Roy and Mary Ann Funk.

<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Michelin-Fiske">Obituary for Michelin Louise (Fabrizius) Fiske | Ryan Mortuary</a>

Michelin “Mich” Louise (Fabrizius) Fiske, 73, of Salina, passed away Friday, July 15, 2022, in Minneapolis, Kansas. She was born June 15, 1949, in Hays, Kansas, the daughter of Herman and Leona (Sommerfield) Fabrizius. 

Mich graduated from Minneapolis High School in 1967. On November 8, 1982, she was united in marriage to Kenneth “Kenny” Fiske, and the couple made their home in Salina.

She collected dear friends everywhere she went, from her workplaces to her time at the Elks, GreatLife and the Smoky Hill River Festival. Holidays spent with her mom, siblings, nieces and nephews, children, and grandkids were always a treasured time for her. In her free time, she frequented local department stores and was especially sad when Dillards closed but found a new favorite when Marshall’s came to town, never wanting to miss a bargain. Her love for KU basketball and slot machines was only surpassed by her love for her grandkids.&nbsp;

Fiske (Mandy) of Enterprise, Kansas, Rick Fiske (Sheri) of Bennington, Kansas and Jason Fiske of Elwood, Nebraska; her mother Leona Fabrizius of Minneapolis, Kansas; three brothers, Don Fabrizius (Wendy) of Niles, Kansas, Steve Fabrizius of Minneapolis, Kansas, and Mike Fabrizius (Tami) of Minneapolis, Kansas; a sister, Kathy Nash (Marty) of Minneapolis, Kansas; grandchildren Melissa, Kate, Maddy, Chase, Cade, Cobey, Quenton, Abby, Haddie, Brynna, and Callie; and three great-grandchildren.

Wilma Eileen Londene Garten&nbsp;of Abilene, KS passed away July 13, 2022 at the age of 95. Eileen was born June 7, 1927, in Navarre, KS to Fred and Siri Boberg Londene. Eileen attended Ninety Nine, Miller, and Navarre schools and graduated from Chapman High School in 1945.

She worked at K-State in the file department of the agricultural building after high school and then worked at the Western Merchandise Company (Duckwall's) office in Abilene operating a posting machine.

Eileen and Clarence M. Garten, Jr. were united in marriage on September 11, 1949, at the Abilene Methodist Church. 

She was a farmer’s wife and best known for her cooking and hosting guests in their home as she provided a place to stay, meals to eat, an ear to listen, or the gospel to share. Mom was the ultimate hostess and served people from other countries, off the street, or friends and relatives both near and far. All were welcome! When they weren’t on the farm, Clarence and Eileen loved to travel as far away as England, France, Ireland, Israel, Africa, and Haiti.

Eileen was a member of Rural Life, Sunflower Club and Chatter Club. She was both a 4-H member and leader teaching cooking and sewing. Eileen was a member of Emmanuel Methodist Church, Lay Witness Mission Co-Coordinator, Auxiliary Member of Gideons and founding member and president of Abilene Christian Women’s Club. She was also involved in the Dickinson County Jail Ministry. Her loving faith was central to all that she was involved in.

She used her cooking skills to bake at Genny’s Country Cupboard and prepared meals for XYZ Seniors at Emmanuel Church. She also won numerous Dickinson County cooking contests.

She is survived by her children Janette Fulton (Dennis) of Nampa, ID, Marsha Pavkov (Roger) of Salina, KS, Larry (Jean) Garten of Olathe, KS, and Scott (Jamie) Garten of Abilene, KS, 14 grandchildren and 35 great-grandchildren, sister Joyce Whitebread of Littleton, CO, and brothers Fred J. Londene of Huntsville, AL and Carl Londene of Albuquerque, NM.

Proceeding her in death were her husband Clarence, son Steven, parents Fred and Siri Londene, sisters Mildred Londene, Helen Swarts, Dorothy Bean and Virgilee Springer and brothers Lowell, Francis, and Duane Londene.

A celebration of life service will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Sat., July 30, at Emmanuel Church, 1300 N. Vine St., Abilene, KS. There will be a luncheon following the service for all who attend.

Hilda Louise (Michel) Eitzmann, the youngest of three children born to Otto and Louise (Oestmann) Michel, was born November 29, 1924 at home on the family farm near Johnson, Nebraska.

Hilda was baptized on December 21, 1924 at St. Paul Lutheran Church (Hickory Grove) rural Auburn, Nebraska.&nbsp; She was confirmed at the same church on April 7, 1939.&nbsp; Her confirmation verse was Proverbs 3:6,” in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.”&nbsp; Hilda lived her faith by example and enjoyed her time with God through her daily devotions.

Hilda attended school at Roosevelt Rural School District #26 near Johnson, Nebraska through the 8th grade.&nbsp; After Arthur was discharged in October 1945 from 3 1/2 years served abroad with the Army in WW II, Hilda was united in marriage to Arthur Eitzmann of Byron, Nebraska on May 23, 1945&nbsp;at St. Paul Lutheran Church, rural Auburn, Nebraska.

Hilda was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.&nbsp; She loved her role as a homemaker and caregiver.&nbsp; She loved cooking and baking for her family.&nbsp; She made numerous quilts and blankets for her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.&nbsp; Visits from friends and family were a highlight of her life.&nbsp; She enjoyed reminiscing, especially with nieces and nephews, about the “good old days” and family history.
