<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Gabriel-Allen">Obituary for Gabriel Joseph Allen | Ryan Mortuary</a>

SALINA -&nbsp;Gabriel Joseph Allen, originally of Phoenix, AZ, passed away at the age of 40 in his home surrounded by family, loved ones, and hospice (Rebecca) on 19 May 2021. Gabe was born to Sandra McLean, in Phoenix on 15 May 1981. Gabe was the eldest of three children and came to know his dad, David Lee Allen III, while being the best man at their wedding at the age of eight.&nbsp; Gabriel was a child of God and practiced the Catholic faith.

Gabe often spoke of his childhood memories in Arizona, especially the times spent with his Grandpa and Grandma, as well as his best friends Simon and Fernando Flores. This was a time in his life when Gabriel developed a love of cooking, playing the guitar, camping, and fishing - but most importantly a true passion and understanding of FAMILY!

Gabriel moved to Salina with his family where he and Emily Eikenberry had one son, Anthony Joseph Allen. &nbsp;

Gabe excelled in school and received a certification in culinary arts.&nbsp; Gabe loved to cook!&nbsp; At any family gathering from three to thirty, you could hear Gabe scream, "I've got this!", referring to the BBQ&nbsp; grill.&nbsp; Damn that man COULD cook! One of his proudest accomplishments was being promoted to head chef at K-State of Salina, where he managed the menu and staff, cooking for hundreds of students daily.&nbsp; Gabe later found himself as an iconic cook at a prestigious restaurant in Russell, KS. Gabe also worked in the construction field as a certified forklift operator for Advance Auto and King Construction Inc.

Gabe was an avid fan of music, movies, literature, trivia, golf, the Oakland As, and the San Francisco 49ers.&nbsp; By avid we mean excessive or exaggerated, because if you had a question about ANY of these hobbies, Gabe knew the answer and then some!&nbsp; He had a true gift of memory and was a wealth of knowledge. 

Gabe was active in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) throughout much of his adult life.&nbsp; During this time, Gabe found many friends that he inspired, mentored and sponsored within the program. Perhaps, some are alive today through his leadership.

Gabriel was preceded in death by his great-grandma Mable Willett (108 years old); grandparents Robert and Judith McLean, Ophelia and David Lee Allen II; dad David Lee Allen III; aunts Carolyn (McLean) Pearson and Robin (Carlson) Grebba; and uncle Robert G. McLean "Uncle Bobby".

Survivors include: son Anthony Allen of Woodstock, IL.; mother Sandra (Allen) Oelke and step-dad/friend, Robert Oelke of Salina; brother Travis Allen of Steamboat Springs, CO.; sister Kristina Allen; aunt Gabriella (Gabby Allen) Carter; uncles Jim Allen and Butch Carter, all of Salina; cousins Donovan (Duck) Lewis of Lampoc, CA., Edward Lewis of Bennington, KS.; Melissa Carberry of Ft.

<a href="https://www.parsonsfh.com/obituary/Roberta-Mog">Obituary for Roberta Josephine (Milner) Mog | Parson Funeral Home (parsonsfh.com)</a>

November 25, 1927 ~ February 5, 2021 (age 93)

Roberta Josephine (Bobby Jo)(Milner) Mog , formerly of rural Wilson, KS, passed away Friday, February 5, 2021 in Thornton, Colorado at the age of 93.

Bobby Jo was born to Gus C. and Bernece Lancaster Milner on November 25, 1927, in the small southeastern Kansas town of Virgil.&nbsp; Bobby Jo hit the ground running - literally speaking - with her dog and best friend Mary Lou, and she roamed the country side as an extremely curious young girl.&nbsp; Bobby Jo enjoyed her many adventures with brothers William (Bill), Kenneth Lee, and little sister Karen Louise Kerby, all surviving.&nbsp; The siblings have many a story to tell of Bobby Jo’s antics and adventures.

Having been diagnosed as deaf at a very young age, Bobby Jo was off to Kansas School for the Deaf (KSD) in Olathe, Kansas, where she studied and excelled until her graduation in 1947.&nbsp; During her tenure she served as editor in chief for the Jackrabbit, the school paper, and year book. She was senior class v.p. and salutatorian. Her little sister Karen claims Bobby Jo took great care with her as they traveled by train the 200-plus miles to KSD.&nbsp; She tells the story of Bobby Jo going to the dormitories for the younger children every morning to braid Karen’s long hair.&nbsp; It was at KSD that she met the love of her life, John Clement Mog (who preceded her in death in 2007.) &nbsp;Growing up near one another in rural central Kansas they spent a good amount of time together, including the commute to and from the deaf school. It took five years after her graduation before they married, however, as Bobby Jo had many adventures she needed to undertake. Her senior yearbook quote was “The whole wide World seems Small to Me”.&nbsp;

On May 19, 1952 John and Roberta married and moved into their home on the Mog family farm in Noble Township near Wilson, Kansas, where she lived for most of her life. Life on the farm was hard, but she loved it. She bore five children in the old stone house, all of whom survive her: Bryce Robin in 1953, John Robert (Walber) in 1955, Terrance Lynn (Suzette) in 1956, Mary Ann (Marty Sweat) in 1958 and James Gregory (Betsy) in 1960. Roberta loved to garden and preserve all kinds of fruits vegetables.&nbsp; She would scour the countryside looking for wild plums, chokecherries and elderberries to make her jellies and jams.

Roberta was extremely committed to the deaf community, serving on the original Kansas Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in the 1980s, as well as numerous officer positions in the local deaf clubs in Hays, Hutchinson, and Salina. Her strong opinions on all matters deaf and otherwise were always well known.

Roberta worked many jobs during her years on the farm, finally retiring from Cashco in Ellsworth.&nbsp; Upon her retirement, she and John traveled thousands of miles visiting national parks, family and friends. She also visited Europe with her son John.&nbsp; She spent countless hours sewing and quilting, attending quilting conventions throughout the country with her daughter Mary and many other friends.&nbsp; She completed quilts for every member of her family, which is quite extensive. Along with her children she is survived by eight grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren, each receiving at least one handmade masterpiece.

&nbsp;Funeral services for Roberta will be held on May 28, 2021, at 10:30 a.m. at St. Bernard’s Catholic Church in Ellsworth, KS. &nbsp;Burial will follow at the Ellsworth Memorial Cemetery.&nbsp; A celebration of her life will be held afterward in the church hall.

Memorials are suggested to the Kansas School for the Deaf Endowment Fund to help Ddeaf children. Donations can be made through the KSD website at https://www.ksdeaf.org/endowment or in care of Parsons Funeral Home, P.O. Box 45, Ellsworth, Kansas 67439.

<a href="https://www.melbymortuary.com/obituary/audrey-diamond">Obituary | Audrey M. Diamond of Mankato, Kansas | Melby Mortuary</a>

Audrey Marie (Appleby) Diamond was born on December 21, 1930, and passed away at Good Samaritan Society Home in Superior, Nebraska, on May 21, 2021, at the age of 90 years and 5 months.

Audrey was born to Howard and Argie (Pierce) Appleby on their farm near Formoso, Kansas. Audrey spent her entire life in Jewell County, with the exception of six summers when she attended Fort Hays State, acquiring a teaching certificate.

As a child, Audrey attended Hawthorne Country School for 7 ½ years, and Formoso for ½ year. She attended Lovewell High for 3 years, and Formoso High her senior year, graduating in 1948. In the fall of 1948, she began her teaching career and taught for a total of six years in Webber, Woodlawn Country (rural Jewell Co.), and Jewell schools. Audrey enjoyed her students very much, and would reminisce about them often. After teaching, she was a hardworking farm wife.

On August 10, 1952, she married Bertus Diamond at her home in Formoso. They enjoyed sixty years together. To this union two children were born: Ricky Wayne of Mankato, Kansas, and Rebecca Ann (Becky) of Kearney, Nebraska. Bert was a farmer, and they spent most of their married life on a farm in Sinclair Township. In 1996, they retired and moved to Mankato.

Audrey was baptized in the Courtland Christian Church on March 18, 1951. She belonged to the Lovewell Methodist Church, and later the Webber Methodist Church, and was involved in women’s groups of both congregations. She could always be counted on to donate chickens for any soup supper.

Audrey loved communicating with neighbors and family. She was a member of the Lovewell Library Club, and worked as a reporter for the Jewell County Record. She was a dedicated and delightful pen pal, especially to her relatives and great-grandchildren. She was a whiz at word games, like Scrabble, and loved a good crossword puzzle. She also loved playing cards, and was known to play kickball with her great-grandkids from time to time as well.

Audrey had various hobbies and interests. She loved collecting coins and angel figurines. She had a tender sport for most living creatures, but feeding “her” birds was of the utmost importance. Audrey was an accomplished seamstress, from upholstering furniture to making clothes for her entire family. In later years, she began quilting, and delighted the family with her generous gifts. But her greatest pleasure was extending hospitality to any visitor and supplying them with her fresh baked goods. In her home, there was always a cup of coffee available.

She is preceded in death by her beloved husband Bert; her parents, two brothers, Edwin and Arnold; an infant sister, Doris, and nephew Ward Appleby.

In the fall of 1948, she began her teaching career and taught for a total of six years in Webber, Woodlawn Country (rural Jewell Co.), and Jewell schools. Audrey enjoyed her students very much, and would reminisce about them often. After teaching, she was a hardworking farm wife.On August 10, 1952, she married Bertus Diamond at her home in Formoso. They enjoyed sixty years together. To this union two children were born: Ricky Wayne of Mankato, Kansas, and Rebecca Ann (Becky) of Kearney, Nebraska.

In 1996, they retired and moved to Mankato.Audrey was baptized in the Courtland Christian Church on March 18, 1951.

She could always be counted on to donate chickens for any soup supper.Audrey loved communicating with neighbors and family. She was a member of the Lovewell Library Club, and worked as a reporter for the Jewell County Record. She was a dedicated and delightful pen pal, especially to her relatives and great-grandchildren.

She also loved playing cards, and was known to play kickball with her great-grandkids from time to time as well.Audrey had various hobbies and interests.

But her greatest pleasure was extending hospitality to any visitor and supplying them with her fresh baked goods.
