September 1, 1926 ~ February 21, 2022 (age 95)

SALINA -&nbsp;Wanda Lee (Everhart) Grosser, 92, passed away on February 21, 2022 at Salina Presbyterian Manor.

A memorial service is planned for 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, July 9, 2022, at Christ Cathedral, 138 S. Eighth Street, Salina, KS; graveside service will follow at Gypsum, KS Cemetery, south of Hwy K-4 and Kipp Road.

Born on September 1, 1926, at her parent’s farm south of Gypsum, KS, Wanda was the daughter of Lloyd and Elsie (Rutz) Everhart.&nbsp; The youngest of six siblings, Wanda had four brothers and one sister.&nbsp; 

She married her high school sweetheart, Jack Lay, also of Gypsum, and they had three sons.&nbsp; Jack was killed in the Korean conflict in 1952, leaving Wanda a widow with three young boys ages three, two, and three&nbsp; months.&nbsp; On July 21, 1956, she married William F. Grosser III (Bill) and they made their home in Salina.&nbsp; She and Bill welcomed a daughter in 1957.

Wanda attended Gypsum public schools, graduating from high school in 1947.&nbsp; She briefly attended Marymount College, before marrying and becoming a mother.&nbsp; She loved running a household and taking care of her family.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;

With her children grown, Wanda satisfied the need to serve others by working as a hostess and secretary at the Salina Senior Center.&nbsp; She shared her talents until her retirement in her late 60s.&nbsp; 

She had a passion for genealogy, spending many years researching and publishing her family’s ancestry.&nbsp; She and Bill traveled the area searching for gravestones and municipal records to verify their family tree.&nbsp;&nbsp; Wanda had many relatives in the area; she loved planning and hosting family events, including the annual Everhart family reunion that started in the 1970s and continues to this day.&nbsp; Wanda was a faithful Christian, attending and volunteering in the Episcopal Church all of her adult life. &nbsp;

Wanda and Bill built a new home on Millview Rd. in 1965.&nbsp; They lived there for over 45 years before moving to Eaglecrest and eventually to Salina Presbyterian Manor in 2015. &nbsp;

She was preceded in death by her husband William (Bill) F. Grosser III, parents Lloyd and Elsie Everhart, brothers Verlin Everhart, Lyal Everhart, Wendall Everhart and Merl Everhart, sister Eileen Hathaway, two grandchildren, Jess Grosser and Robyn Grosser, and her first husband Jack E. Lay.

Survivors include her four children, Keith Lay (Jeanne) of Albuquerque, NM; Dr. Randy Grosser (Linda) of Indianapolis, IN; Craig Grosser (Susan) of Salina, KS; and Lori Rhoden of Niles, KS; 18 grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren. &nbsp;

Cremation was chosen and a combined service for Wanda and Bill is being planned for a later date.

The family would like to give special recognition to the staff at Salina Presbyterian Manor and Kindred Hospice for their kind and loving care.

<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/John-Gunder">Obituary for John Paul Gunder | Ryan Mortuary</a>

September 16, 1930 ~ May 18, 2022 (age 91)

A graveside service will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 16, 2022 at Gypsum Hill Cemetery. A Celebration of life will follow at Masonic Temple.

John Paul Gunder&nbsp;passed away in his home, May 18, 2022.&nbsp; In his own words, leaving his partner of 32 years, Darlene Gebhardt, who “made his life full of love, laughter and comfort.”&nbsp; He was born September 16, 1930, to Clarence and Goldie (Harman) Gunder, in Gibsonburg, Ohio. 

He was preceded in death by his parents and siblings, James Addison Gunder, Violet Rose (Gunder) Long and Iva Lena (Gunder) Anderson.

In 1949, John married Ruby Clark (deceased). They had three children, Margaret Ann ‘Micky’ (Gunder) Ovitt, Paula Joan (Gunder) Dennie and Juanita (Gunder) Spaulding.

From his marriage to Donna Mitchell Gagnon (deceased) in 1971, came his children Janice Faye Gunder, and Russel David Gunder.

Through his partnership with his best friend Darlene Gebhardt, he gained his “bonus children” James L. Gebhardt, Michael W. Gebhardt and Dianna L. Gebhardt.

John was a great supporter of his numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He loved them dearly, and they loved him back.&nbsp; He always had a funny word, a kind word, or a stern word to offer them when it was necessary.

John grew up on a farm in Wood County, Ohio.&nbsp; In 1947, at age 17, he joined the Army National Guard and was discharged in 1950. In 1951, he took an oath and become a member of the Ohio State Protective Association, Badge No. 42.&nbsp; He was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1956 and retired in 1976 as E-7 Staff Sergeant. He did three tours in Germany and was in Viet Nam 1968-1969. He received many decorations including the Bronze Star, awarded for meritorious service or acts of valor while serving in combat operations. He also received the Purple Heart medal along with various others. He was very proud of his military service but was not boastful.

In 1980 John was a census information gatherer. He enjoyed meeting so many people and hearing their stories. John never knew a stranger.

From 1979-1991, he was the owner and operator of the Blue Lounge in Salina, KS.&nbsp; It’s here that he made many friends and had many stories to tell. &nbsp;

John lived a full life. He took motorcycle trips and liked to travel and fish. He “had been on big boats, small boats, airplanes big and little, and helicopters not to mention all the other good equipment the military had, like the smooth-riding tanks and trucks that never missed a hole in the road.”

His passions were his family, genealogy, and history. He was a collector of books and an avid reader. He gardened and cooked and loved to feed people. He had a great sense of humor and was a bit of a prankster.&nbsp; He enjoyed his coffee chats in the morning. He enjoyed the banter and felt it kept his mind sharp.&nbsp; He believed hard work and exercise kept his body going. He loved walking twice a day with his favorite pups. He liked the visits he had with his neighbors along the way.&nbsp; He was respectful and honest, and always had a smile on his face. He was non-judgmental and kind to everyone. He wanted to know your story, and if you were lucky enough, he would share one of his.

He was John, Honey, Dad, Grampa, Gramps, Uncle, Brother, and Best Friend to us. and at age 91, he leaves us too soon.

Janice Louise Fief, age 92, passed away on Friday, July 1, 2022, at Eaglecrest Retirement Community in Salina, KS.&nbsp; Janice was born on July 31, 1929, in Esbon, Kansas, the daughter of Martin and Edith (Pittsenbarger) Johanek.&nbsp;

She grew up on the family farm and attended Jewell County Public Schools graduating in 1947.&nbsp; While in high school she participated in glee club, class plays, the annual staff, and was a cheerleader.&nbsp; 

After graduating Janice attended St. Joseph Hospital School of Nursing in Concordia completing her degree in 1950.&nbsp; Her nurse's training encompassed Marymount in Salina, as well as Kansas City and Wichita.&nbsp; 

As a registered nurse she practiced in several states including Kansas, Colorado, Iowa, and California.&nbsp; At an early point in her career, she was the supervisor at the Smith County Hospital in Smith Center, KS and she concluded her career as the director of nursing at the Nicol Home in Glasco. KS.&nbsp; Janice served in this capacity in Glasco for 19 years where she provided excellent care while entertaining the residents with her singing and card playing.&nbsp; Choosing a nursing career was a perfect fit for Janice.&nbsp; It allowed her the opportunity to travel and be independent but most importantly it gave her the avenue to care for others.&nbsp; She loved helping people and always brought a smile to those she worked with.&nbsp;

On May 13, 1961, Janice was united in marriage to Al Fief at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Esbon, Kansas.&nbsp; The couple lived at the Natural Gas Pipeline housing area before moving to their farm near Glasco in 1965.&nbsp; The couple raised their three children on the farm and enjoyed being involved in all of their children’s activities.&nbsp; They remained on the farm until Al’s passing in 1987 with Janice moving into Glasco shortly thereafter.&nbsp; 

Janice remarried in 1993 to Harold Morell in Beloit, Kansas.&nbsp; Harold and Janice resided in Glasco before moving to Eaglecrest Retirement Community in Salina, where Harold later passed.&nbsp; 

Janice was an active member of St. Mary Catholic Church in Glasco where she participated in the church choir, was sacristan and Eucharistic Minister as well as brought communion to the homebound.&nbsp; She loved people and never met a stranger.&nbsp; She had a passion for dancing and was an avid card player, especially enjoying Pitch and later Rummikub and she was quick to tell you the score when she won.&nbsp;

 Through all the years the most important thing for Janice was her family.&nbsp; She loved her brothers and sisters and her husband, children, and grandchildren.&nbsp; She treasured the time she spent with her family and friends. &nbsp;

Janice was preceded in death by her five brothers - Glen, Jay, Elden, Ivan, and Kenneth Johanek; sister Nila Mae Charbonneau and daughter-in-law Gayla Fief.

Janice is survived by two siblings, twin sisters Thelma Beam (Johnny) of Esbon, and Velma Gouldie (Jim) of Mankato.&nbsp; Janice is also survived by her three children – Larry Fief (Sheila) of Salina, Annette Lounds (Norman) of Winfield, and Gregory Fief (Angela) of Manhattan.&nbsp; She has seven grandchildren, Jordan Veenendaal (Bradley) of Salina, Zachary Fief of Emporia, Joshua Fief of Salina, Megan Lounds of Olathe, Bethany Andrew (Kyle) of Olathe, Nicholas Fief of Akron, OH, and Madison Fief of Manhattan.&nbsp; Janice also has two great-grandsons, Deacon and Henley Andrew of Olathe. &nbsp;

Funeral Mass will be at 11:00 a.m. Thursday, July 7, 2022, at St. Mary Catholic Church, Glasco. Visitation will be prior to the service from 8:30 to 10:30 and a Rosary will be said at 10:30, all at the church. &nbsp;

They farmed and ranched near Winona, KS until 1999 and retired in Salina, KS.

While living in Winona, Charlotte worked at the school, drove a school bus, sold World Book encyclopedias, and worked for SRS. After moving to Salina, she worked at the local art gallery and was a greeter for Conklin Cars. She was active in the German Club and St. Mary Queen of the Universe Catholic Church. She had a compassionate conviction for the lives of unborn children and always had a strong interest in politics.

Although Charlotte grew up in the large city of Cologne,Germany, at age 17 she learned how to help on the farm but always preferred to have a fence between her and the farm animals. She tamed raccoons, dressed hundreds of chickens, canned foods, delivered milk, cream, and eggs, prepared meals for harvest crews, and nary a weed dare grow in her luscious green yard. Charlotte loved working in her home, visiting with neighbors and friends, square dancing, having card parties and entertaining. New teachers to the community always found a welcome meal, and foreign college students always found a home full of hospitality during holidays. Most of all, she enjoyed visiting her grandchildren and making the farm a fun place to visit.

Always an avid reader, Charlotte encouraged her children to read, work hard, excel in whatever they did, and make the most of opportunities. She enjoyed writing and wrote many poems and diaries throughout her life. She loved music, especially classical and German. She found great joy in playing her accordion and was happy to entertain during the German Club meetings and even at her 90th birthday celebration. Her favorite food was chocolate, especially chocolates directly from Germany. Her favorite song was Enjoy Yourself, It’s Later Than You Think.

Charlotte was preceded in death by her husband Lester. 

Survivors include her six children: Irene (Doug) Johnson of Dallas, TX, Frank (Peggy) Settle of Overland Park, Gloria (Ralph) Duffey of Salina, Harold (Rhonda) Settle of Great Bend, Roger (Theresa) Settle of Dodge City, and Janet (Patrick) Gleason of Meade;19 grandchildren: Kurt (Rae) Johnson, Adele (Uli) Woerz, Sr. Isabel (Society of Mary), Michael (Kristy) Johnson, Kipp Johnson, Robert Johnson; Craig (Blythe) Settle, Stephanie (Shawn) Turner, Kim (Nick) Bambeck; Patricia Duffey, David (Kaori) Duffey, Connie Duffey; Jason (Lundy) Settle, Chad Settle; Mary (Adam) Behlke; Adam (Liz) Gleason, Michaela (Hito) Santacruz, Aaron (Miranda) Gleason, and Monica Gleason; 29 great-grandchildren: Kressa and Max Johnson; Edward, Helena, Frederick, and Henry Woerz; Felix and Vela Johnson; Luke Johnson; Colin, Cayley, Camden, and Kinsley Settle; Austin, Ashlyn, Gabrielle, Lucas, and Frank Turner; Casey, Thomas, Caroline, and Riley Bambick; Michelle and William Duffey; Blake Kirkman, Sadie Settle; Aidan and Emma Gleason; and Isaiah Gleason.

The family is grateful to Charlotte’s neighbors and friends, especially Susan and Earl Fry, Tony and Allison Harding, Carl and Gloria Hanson, Lou Melgren, and Grace Shields. Also, to the many St. Mary parishioners who helped honor her wishes to have frequent visitors while remaining in her home as long as possible, especially John and Linda Ourida, Raymond and Julie Bilson, and Vera Roach.

There will be a rosary at 9 a.m. on Wednesday July 6th at St. Mary Queen of the Universe Catholic Church in Salina, KS, with Mass at 10, followed by a luncheon in the parish hall. Burial service will follow at All Saints Catholic Cemetery.

<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Jody-Owens">Obituary for Jody Ray Owens | Ryan Mortuary</a>

Jody Ray Owens, 55, Salina, KS passed away unexpectedly at his home surrounded by his loving family on June 28, 2022.

Jody was born May 23,1967 in Tulsa, OK.&nbsp; He was adopted at an early age, along with his two siblings, by Leon and Betty Owens.

Jody spent his early years in Washington state and then his family moved to Blythe, California.&nbsp; Jody graduated from Palo Verde High School in the Class of 1985.&nbsp; Jody attended a local college in Blythe for one year and then entered the workforce.

After his college stint, Jody lived in numerous states along the west coast and in the Midwest.&nbsp;

 Jody was very skilled in a lot of areas such as carpentry, plumbing, electrical, construction and was a very good salesman. Jody truly loved people of all ages.&nbsp; He did not know a stranger, and this made him a good salesman.&nbsp; His most recent position was as a Flooring Specialist at Lowe’s Home Improvement, Salina.&nbsp; He left his position in 2010 when his health issues prevented him from continuing in the workforce. &nbsp;

Jody fathered two children and was very proud of them.&nbsp; Joshua was born in 1992 and Wesley was born in 2003. &nbsp;

Jody met his current wife, Angela Allison in 2004.&nbsp; Jody married Angela on July 31, 2005 at the Wesleyan church in Junction City where they made their home.&nbsp; In 2006, Jody took his position at Lowe’s so they moved to Salina as Angela had been employed at CAPS in Salina since 2001.&nbsp; Shortly after the move to Salina, Wesley came to live with Jody and Angela. &nbsp;

Jody was a family man and passionate about fishing, hunting, the outdoors and animals.&nbsp; Recently, Jody acquired a small travel trailer camper which he dearly loved to take camping to his favorite fishing spots.&nbsp; During COVID, Wesley and Jody went seeking a dog.&nbsp; Auggie was adopted from the Salina Animal Shelter and was a loyal companion for Jody.&nbsp; Auggie is part of the family and inseparable from Jody.&nbsp; Jody was most happy camping, fishing and spending time with his family.&nbsp; Also, he really enjoyed sharing his passions with others, young and old in hopes that they would fall in love with the sport as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;

Jody was preceded in death by his father, Leon Owens, his mother Betty Owens, his maternal grandmother, his sister Marika and brother Thomas, and two nephews, Lakota and Chard. &nbsp;

He is survived by his wife Angela, and son Wesley of the home, son Josh and wife Crystal, grandson, Peyton and grandaughter, Elizabeth of Cabot, Arkansas.&nbsp; Additionally, Jody is survived by numerous nieces, nephews and cousins that were very special to Jody.

Abiding by Jody’s wishes, cremation will take place and there will not be a funeral.&nbsp; A private family graveside service will take place at a future date. &nbsp;

Memorials can be made to the Salina Animal Services or Child Advocacy and Parenting Services (CAPS), Salina,&nbsp; KS in care of Ryan Mortuary, 137 N. 8th Street, Salina, KS&nbsp; 67401.
