<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Myredith-Buss">Obituary for Myredith E. Buss | Ryan Mortuary</a>

November 17, 1938 ~ October 27, 2022 (age 83)

<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Myredith-Buss"></a>Myredith E. Buss, 83, of Salina, Kansas, was born on 
Thursday, November 17, 1938, and passed away Thursday, October 27, 2022,&nbsp; with her family at her side.&nbsp; A Thursday child; generous and loving 
throughout her life. 
As a child of the Great Depression, Myredith's early life was not easy. 
She worked in the orchard and garden, fished with her brothers in a 
nearby river, and froze her fingers raising ducks to help support her 
family. But she walked away from her childhood with a strong faith, a 
loving and supportive family, compassion for those less fortunate, a 
sharp-witted sense of humor, and a belief that determination and hard 
work would bring a brighter future. 
She was married twice, first to Ronald C. Tonne with whom she had four 
children.&nbsp; They lived in Norton, Kansas, where she worked as the Clerk 
of the District Court.&nbsp; She moved to Salina, Kansas in 1978 and later 
married Kenneth. E. Buss, creating a loving family that would last until
 his death in 2019.&nbsp; Ken made her laugh, loved her endlessly, and broke 
her heart with his passing. They were both devoted grandparents, 
attending all of life's events with great joy! 
Myredith gave love through acts of kindness: sharing recipes, teaching 
us to cook and bake. Fruits and vegetables were treasures, especially if
 they were free and picked by hand – they found their way into jellies 
and jams, salads and jello desserts to be relished each year on our 
holiday tables. 
She always had a project in the works! She gifted us all treasured 
holiday decorations, hand-crocheted pillowcases, and beautiful quilts, 
and she lovingly mended the stuffed animals of her grandchildren – a 
labor of love that continued even with arthritic hands and failing 
eyesight. 
Myredith found beauty in everyday things: watching her flowers grow, the
 smell of baking cinnamon rolls, the croaking of frogs, and the chatter 
and giggles of children at play.&nbsp; She enjoyed the fellowship of Mentor 
Methodist Church and spoke of time spent with friends from the choir, 
countless pancake breakfasts with friends and grandkids, and the comfort
 she found in this supportive community. &nbsp; 
With broken hearts and appreciation for the beautiful life she stitched 
together and shared with us are two of her siblings, Henry Elder and 
Annie Nelson, three of her children, Arden Tonne, Ronda Blatt, and Byron
 Tonne, her stepchildren Melinda Sevedge and Steve Buss, daughters and 
sons by marriage, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and many friends. 
We will miss her but know that she will be welcomed to eternity with 
heavenly hugs from her husband Kenneth Earl of 37 years, her cherished 
son Terry Allen Tonne who sadly left us way too soon, and many others 
who shared her life. 
A service celebrating her life will be held on Saturday, November 26th,&nbsp; at 11:00 a.m. at the Mentor Methodist Church, 616 E. Mentor Rd., Assaria, 
Kansas 67416.&nbsp;

Memorials may be made to the Mentor Methodist Church in 
memory of Myredith E. Buss.

<a href="https://www.stockhamfamily.com/obituaries/shari-henson">Shari R. Henson Obituary 2022 - Stockham Funeral Home (stockhamfamily.com)</a>

Shari Rae (Goering) Henson was born in the McPherson Hospital on April 20, 1973, to Bryce and Irene (Shannon) Goering.&nbsp; She was the third of three children.&nbsp; 

She lived most of her life in McPherson except for four years in Leadville, Colorado, from the fall of 1975 to the fall of 1979.&nbsp; 

Shari was baptized in the First United Presbyterian Church of Leadville on June 5, 1977.&nbsp; 

The family returned to McPherson in 1979, and Shari attended school in the McPherson School district through her senior year, graduating from McPherson High School in 1991.&nbsp; She attended Hutchinson Junior College where she studied office technology.&nbsp; 

On March 8, 2003, she was united in marriage to Richard (Rich) Henson, and they were blessed with a daughter, Hailey Rae, who was the light of their lives.&nbsp; 

Over the years, Shari worked at CertainTeed Mfg., court trustee’s office, McPherson Middle School, Heartland Vet Clinic, and Lincoln Elementary School.&nbsp;

Shari was a member of the First Christian Church in McPherson.

Family was very important to Shari, and she always enjoyed family get-togethers and sharing the holidays with family.&nbsp; She also loved attending all of Hailey’s sporting events, especially her softball games, and enjoyed going to programs and sporting events of her nieces and nephews.&nbsp; She was especially close to her brother and sister, and their children became like her own.&nbsp; Somewhere along the way, Shari developed a green thumb and became the “plant doctor” for friends and family.&nbsp; She especially liked succulents, and the Henson home was always filled with a variety of plants.&nbsp; Shari was also well known by family and friends for giving the best hugs.

After a long and hard-fought battle with kidney cancer, Shari Rae Henson, 49, of McPherson, KS, passed away at 8:45 p.m. on Sunday, November 6, 2022, at her home in McPherson surrounded by family and friends.&nbsp;

She was preceded in death by her father Bryce Goering; her paternal grandparent, Ed and Teresa Goering, and maternal grandparents Kenneth and Wilma Shannon, all of McPherson; one uncle, Gene Shannon of Cassoday, KS; and two aunts, Betty Norris-Madron of McPherson and Bonnie Goering of Kansas City, KS.

Survivors include her loving husband Rich, and daughter Hailey; her mother Irene (Shannon) Goering; her brother Shawn Goering and his wife Kim; her sister Shannon Renee Saverino-Owens and her husband Brad; her brothers-in-law Keith Myers, Jr. and Dean LeGron and his wife Jara, all of McPherson; and a sister-in-law, Roberta Ann Arell of Wichita.&nbsp; There was a special place in her heart for her nieces and nephews.&nbsp; She is also survived by several cousins and a special uncle, Buck Nelson.&nbsp; Shari was a devoted wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend.&nbsp; She will be sorely missed by her family and friends.

The family would like to thank all those who sent food, participated in fundraisers, and in general, showed their love and care in so many ways.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, November 19, 2022, at the First Christian Church with Pastor Abby Walker officiating.&nbsp;&nbsp;The family asks that all attendees wear bright colors.&nbsp;&nbsp;A private scattering of the ashes will be held at a later date.

Memorial donations can be made payable to Stockham Family Funeral Home to help defray funeral costs in care of Stockham Family Funeral Home, 205 North Chestnut, McPherson, KS 67460.

Florence E. Ryff passed away on Monday, November 7, 2022. 

Funeral services will be Saturday, November 12 at 10:30 a.m at LifeHouse Church, 420 NW 2nd Street in Abilene, Kansas. Danner Funeral Home is handling the arrangements with Marty Colborn as officiate. Florence E. Ryff was born on April 16th, 1940 to William and Lula (Allen) Murrison, weighing just over 4 lbs. Her first “bassinet” was a shoebox.

She was the youngest of six children, Albert, Alice, Doris, Wlliam (Billy) and Margaret. She was of Scottish descent as her father William was born in Scotland and immigrated to the United States at the age of 12 by way of Ellis Island. One of the proudest days of his life was the day he became a United States citizen. Florence attended Chapman schools and graduated from Dickinson County Community High School in 1958. Her favorite classes included math and algebra.

Florence married Dick Ryff on September 25th, 1964. 

She was a homemaker and selflessly dedicated herself to her husband and children. While Dick was at work, she took care of the household and always paid bills in cash (in person). Although she took driving lessons in high school, she never got a driver’s license and never drove a car. If Dick was not available to drive her downtown to pay bills, she would either walk or ride one of her children’s bicycles even if the only one available had a banana seat and sissy bar. 

After her kids had grown, she took a position as dishwasher at Mr. K’s Buckboard and later Pizza Hut to earn a little “bingo money” and she loved bingo (3 times a week!). Florence loved her family and was always interested in what was going on in their lives. Many conversations included a flurry of questions about what they were doing, where they were going and what was for dinner. We will sorely miss those interrogations. Florence was preceded in death by her parents William and Lula; siblings Albert, Alice, Doris, Billy and Margaret, her favorite niece Shirley (who was more like a sister), husband Dick and daughter Jackie.

Survivors include children Vicky (Bud) Elliott, Glenda (Glen) Renz, Brian Ryff, Rod Ryff, Ty (Cathy) Ryff, many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. Memorial gifts to be sent to Danner Funeral Home (501 N. Buckeye, Abilene, Kansas 67410) and may be made out to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Online condolences may be sent to www.dannerfuneralhome.net.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Rodney Eugene Smith, 67, of Olathe, Kansas, passed away on Sunday, 
November 6, 2022. He was born on September 9, 1955, in Smith Center, 
Kansas, to Harley and Cleora (Bliss) Smith. Rodney grew up in 
Osborne, KS he was on the wrestling team and in band. Rodney enjoyed the
 small town life running around with his twin brother Roger and little 
brother Rick and working at the town grocery store. The three of them 
spent countless hours in the summers at the Osborne City pool. He 
graduated from Osborne High School in 1973. His mother and father were 
very proud of him, and he was thankful for the loving home and life he 
had growing up. He always knew he wanted to be a Pharmacist and 
attended the University of Kansas Pharmacy School graduating in 1978. 
His first job as a pharmacist was at Dillon’s Pharmacy in Lawrence on 
Massachusetts street. Work took him to many towns in Kansas as a 
Pharmacist. In 1981 he was working at the Dillons Pharmacy in Salina, KS
 when he met his soon to be wife, Roxanne, at a Dillon’s picnic. She 
worked at another Dillons in Salina, where he came in to ask Roxanne out
 for the first time for a ride on his motorcycle. The two were 
married in 1982 in Salina at the Grand Avenue United Methodist Church. 
They welcomed their first son, Christopher in 1984 in Lawrence, KS. In 
1988, they welcomed their daughter, Abby in Lawrence, KS. They made 
Lawrence their home and Rodney opened the Medicine Shoppe on 
Massachusetts Street. Life took them to Hutchinson, KS in 1991 
where Rodney owned the Medicine Shoppe on Main Street. They raised their
 children in Hutchinson until Abby graduated high school in 2007, when 
they made their way back to Lawrence where both Chris and Abby attended 
his alma mater Kansas University, which made Rodney so proud. Chris went
 on to get his PhD in Chemistry from University of Minnesota and is the 
head of a lab in the Kansas City area. Abby went on to become a Dental 
Hygienist and has furthered her career in Dental software technology. Rodney
 touched many lives and filled many scripts over the years, and had 
heart warming stories about the many people that touched his life in 
pharmacy. Rodney worked up until the day he passed as a remote pharmacy 
consultant for a non profit, Family Healthcare Center in Kansas City, 
KS. His passion became helping the underserved and he was able to give 
back by helping to start 340B Pharmacies for the uninsured. Rodney
 was an avid golfer up until he got pancreatic cancer. He has fond 
memories golfing with his father Harley, son Chris, brother Roger and 
nephews Jared, Ryan and Andrew and his lifelong Salina golf buddies. 
Rodney had 2 impressive hole in one’s throughout his golfing career. Rodney
 was a diehard Kansas Jayhawk fan, loved all things basketball and 
football at KU. He loved his Chiefs, and grew a love for the Oklahoma 
State Cowboys after his daughter Abby married her husband Derek that ran
 cross country and track there. Rodney was so proud of Chris’s wife Linh, becoming a pharmacist in his footsteps at KU. Rodney followed his dad Harley’s footsteps to become a Mason and was a Master Mason of the Masonic temple in Hutchinson, KS. Rodney
 was a jokester, could never remember the entire joke when he repeated 
it, which made his family and friends laugh even harder, he was often 
the brunt of jokes and that’s the way he liked it! Rodney was the
 grandpa that got down on the ground with his grandkids and would sit 
and play with them for hours. One of Abby and Chris’s fondest memories 
as children was Rodney telling them his own version of jack and the 
beanstalk as a bedtime story. It always ended in laughter and tears the 
way he told it. Rodney could not wait to be with his mother, Cleora in heaven. He talked about her every day. Rodney
 is survived by his father, Harley Smith of Osborne, KS; loving wife, 
Roxanne Smith, children, Chris (Linh &amp; Aiden) Smith; Abby (Derek, 
Lucy &amp; Drew) Tate, all of Olathe, KS. Brother, Roger (Neta, Amanda, 
Jared, Mark, Graham, Elia, Molly) Smith of Topeka, KS; Brother, Rick 
(Dee, Ryan, Holly, Andrew, Nomi, Tanner, Sammy, Heidi, Presley, Violet, 
Hadley, Penelope, Archie) Smith of Hays, Leawood, Prairie Village, 
Lawrence, KS. He was preceded in death by his dear mother, Cleora Smith. A
 Memorial Service will be held at 2:00pm on Saturday, November 12, 2022,

They welcomed their first son, Christopher in 1984 in Lawrence, KS. In 
1988, they welcomed their daughter, Abby in Lawrence, KS. They made 
Lawrence their home and Rodney opened the Medicine Shoppe on 
Massachusetts Street. Life took them to Hutchinson, KS in 1991 
where Rodney owned the Medicine Shoppe on Main Street. They raised their
 children in Hutchinson until Abby graduated high school in 2007, when 
they made their way back to Lawrence where both Chris and Abby attended 
his alma mater Kansas University, which made Rodney so proud. Chris went
 on to get his PhD in Chemistry from University of Minnesota and is the 
head of a lab in the Kansas City area. Abby went on to become a Dental 
Hygienist and has furthered her career in Dental software technology. Rodney
 touched many lives and filled many scripts over the years, and had 
heart warming stories about the many people that touched his life in 
pharmacy. Rodney worked up until the day he passed as a remote pharmacy 
consultant for a non profit, Family Healthcare Center in Kansas City, 
KS. His passion became helping the underserved and he was able to give 
back by helping to start 340B Pharmacies for the uninsured. Rodney
 was an avid golfer up until he got pancreatic cancer. He has fond 
memories golfing with his father Harley, son Chris, brother Roger and 
nephews Jared, Ryan and Andrew and his lifelong Salina golf buddies. 
Rodney had 2 impressive hole in one’s throughout his golfing career. Rodney
 was a diehard Kansas Jayhawk fan, loved all things basketball and 
football at KU. He loved his Chiefs, and grew a love for the Oklahoma 
State Cowboys after his daughter Abby married her husband Derek that ran
 cross country and track there. Rodney was so proud of Chris’s wife Linh, becoming a pharmacist in his footsteps at KU. Rodney followed his dad Harley’s footsteps to become a Mason and was a Master Mason of the Masonic temple in Hutchinson, KS. Rodney
 was a jokester, could never remember the entire joke when he repeated 
it, which made his family and friends laugh even harder, he was often 
the brunt of jokes and that’s the way he liked it! Rodney was the
 grandpa that got down on the ground with his grandkids and would sit 
and play with them for hours. One of Abby and Chris’s fondest memories 
as children was Rodney telling them his own version of jack and the 
beanstalk as a bedtime story. It always ended in laughter and tears the 
way he told it. Rodney could not wait to be with his mother, Cleora in heaven. He talked about her every day. Rodney
 is survived by his father, Harley Smith of Osborne, KS; loving wife, 
Roxanne Smith, children, Chris (Linh &amp; Aiden) Smith; Abby (Derek, 
Lucy &amp; Drew) Tate, all of Olathe, KS. Brother, Roger (Neta, Amanda,

Sister Donna Gottschalk, CSA, formerly Sister Philip, died peacefully November 2, 2022, at St. Francis Home, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Donna Marie was born in La Crosse, Kansas, on May 6, 1940.&nbsp; She was the first daughter after eight sons born to Philip Gottschalk and Lidwina Werth Gottschalk. Following Donna, three more boys and two girls made the family of fourteen complete.

Donna spent her childhood keeping up with her brothers, doing farm and household chores, and learning very fast how to play baseball and football with the best. When Donna was six, the family moved to Hays, Kansas, to fulfill her parents’ desire for their children to have a Catholic education.&nbsp; In grade school and high school, Donna was taught by the Sisters of St. Agnes.&nbsp; From early on, she wanted to be just like the sisters. After high school, Donna, still undecided about pursuing her desire to be a sister, attended the College of Mount St. Scholastica in Atchison, Kansas, taught by the Sisters of St. Benedict. In 1959, after her first year of college, Donna made the decision to enter St. Agnes Convent. Even though she missed the wheat fields of Kansas and the life she shared with her family, her call to religious life beckoned her to Wisconsin and CSA.&nbsp; She made her first profession of vows as Sister Philip in the Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes on August 15, 1962, in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.&nbsp; Sister Donna earned a BS in Elementary Education from Marian College, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, in 1964. Sister taught primary grades in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Kansas for 31 years. She loved teaching and working with children, and they loved her and filled her heart with many happy memories.&nbsp; During her years as an educator, she enriched her teaching and religious education skills with several courses and seminars at Ft. Hays State University, Hays, Kansas and at Silver Lake College, Manitowoc, Wisconsin.&nbsp; In 1993, Sister Donna retired from teaching. After a year of sabbatical in Rock Haven, Missouri, in 1994, she engaged in a variety of ministries including serving on the parish team of Sacred Heart Parish in Colby, Kansas, and cooking for the residents at St. John’s New Horizons Assisted Living, Hays, Kansas. In 1998, Sister Donna returned to Fond du Lac as an assistant to the Local Coordinators for the CSA retirement community at Nazareth Court and Center. She spent countless hours providing for the needs of the sisters, shopping for them, driving, baking, preparing special meals and filling the sisters’ days with her caring and attentive presence and support. In 2018, a serious illness caused Sister Donna to resign her position. Unable to serve the sisters as before, she herself became a resident at Nazareth Court and Center and later at St. Francis Home where she received loving care until the time of her death. Throughout her life, Sister Donna cherished her life in CSA and her Kansas roots. Her love for life, for her CSA sisters, for her family and friends, for the wheat fields, for the smell of the land and for all creation remained strong as did her special hobbies of cooking, baking, and cheering on the Green Bay Packers.&nbsp; Preceding Sister Donna in death were her parents; her brothers Father Andrew Gottschalk, OSB, Vernon, Ivan, Cecil, Philip, Floyd, Stephen; her sister Helen (Ron) Legleiter. Sister is survived by her brothers Donald (Theresa), Leon, Father David, OFM, Cap., Andrew (Lena); her sister Raeann (Charles) Suppes; her sisters-in-law, Dorothy (Cecil) Gottschalk, Nita (Ivan) Gottschalk, Bernadette (Philip) Gottschalk; her devoted nieces and nephews, and the Sisters of St. Agnes with whom she lived, prayed, and ministered.&nbsp; Funeral Mass will be 10:00 AM Friday, November 11, 2022, at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church with Fr. Nick Parker officiating. Burial will follow in the St. Joseph's Cemetery, Hays. Visitation will be held at Brock's-Keithley Funeral Chapel and Crematory, 2509 Vine Street, Hays, KS, 67601 from 5:00 PM — 8:00 PM on Thursday, November 10, and from 9:00 AM—9:30 AM on Friday, November 11, 2022.&nbsp; A Parish vigil and rosary service will be at 7:00 PM Thursday at the funeral chapel. Memorials may be directed to St. Mary’s School in Ellis or the CSA Mission Advancement Office, 320 County Road K, Fond du Lac, WI 54937.
