Charles Roger Clark Sr, affectionately known as&nbsp; “Chuck” and “Charlie,” passed away on Thursday May 21, 2020, at Salina Regional Health Center. He was surrounded by his three girls at the time of his death.

&nbsp;Weighing only 3 pounds, Chuck was born on June 5, 1937 to Frank and Doii Mae (Bradbury) Clark. Proud older brother to Donajean, he grew up in Lincoln, KS where he worked at the family Gamble Hardware store. His family spent time traveling to Minnesota in the summer where he caught fish and camped. Chuck graduated in 1955 from Lincoln High School, after which he enlisted in the Army.

Strong and athletic, in his younger days dad could slalom water ski and roller skate. He met the love of his life, June, at the Starlight Skating Rink in Salina, KS. They were married in Monroe, Louisiana on June 20, 1964.&nbsp; Dad had planned to become a teacher, taking many classes at East Texas State University to reach this goal, but settled into a job with KPL as a “gas man,” which became a career that spanned 30 years. His older children affectionately remember his Mr. Mom days from that time, having spent time on campus while dad was in classes.

&nbsp;Chuck had so many hobbies and interests it is hard to list them all. While raising a family of 5 children, he enjoyed going to the lake on his boat and RC airplanes. He also liked to chop down trees with his beloved chainsaw, and find buildings around his farm to restore and turn into shops. A proud father of several college graduates, he collected flags from their universities. Into his 80s, dad was always finding a project to do, even trenching a water line into “the little house” for a bathroom. He did not get the chance to complete his most recent project of turning an old chicken coop into a shed for gardening equipment, but he was able to rekindle his love of sketching airplanes, where he recently placed 2nd in a competition among senior artists. Overcoming the difficulties of Parkinson’s, dad was able to play kickball with other seniors at his favorite place “the center.” No matter how big the project or mighty the tree, dad would do what needed done to take care of it. His family honors the example of strength and determination he set.

&nbsp;Overcoming several diseases, including multiple types of cancer, an aneurysm, and Parkinson’s, Chuck’s family can say he truly lived a full life. His story continues in the hearts of his survivors:&nbsp; &nbsp;daughter Kim (Eldon) Smith of Ramona, KS; Lee Ann Clark of Culver, KS; Barbie Clark of Clearwater, KS; and youngest son Sam Clark of Berlin, Germany. His legacy of determination continues through grandchildren Barrett, Braxton and Brooklyn Smith; Maddie, Jed, Lora and Nate Clark; and Valerie and Vas Petik. Chuck was preceded in death by beloved wife June Clark, honored son Roger Clark, and dear sister Donajean Sager.

&nbsp;All are welcome to attend the visitation of the end of an era from 1-3 pm at Wilson Family Funeral Home in Minneapolis, KS on Tuesday May 26, 2020, followed by graveside service at Highland Cemetery in Minneapolis, where four generations of Clarks and Bradburys honorably rest. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Sunflower Adult Day Care, which made dad’s final months more peaceful.

Harvey James (Jack) Sellers III, aged 73, of Iuka, Mississippi passed away quietly at North Mississippi Medical Center-Iuka on 20 May 2020. Jack died from complications related to Parkinson’s disease and Lewy body dementia.

Jack was born in Norman, Oklahoma but always considered himself a native of Kansas. He spent his early childhood in Lawrence, a town close to the University of Kansas and loved visiting his great-grandmother Elizabeth, who had grown up during the pioneer days on the Kansas prairie. Jack attended Allegany High School in Cumberland, Maryland and graduated class of 1964. In 1969 he graduated from Lynchburg College with a Bachelor of Science and later received a Master’s Degree in Chemistry. Jack began teaching high school soon after and discovered he had a natural affinity for teaching and coaching. He had excellent instincts about how to encourage and build on a person’s natural talents. This quality made Jack very successful as he transitioned to a career in aerospace. Jack joined Hercules Aerospace Company in 1980 and subsequently moved from Cumberland, Maryland to Salt Lake City, Utah. It is in Utah that Jack met Diane Johnson, who became the love of his life. They married on March 17, 1995. In 1999, Jack and several other employees of Alliant Techsystems were asked to spearhead the company’s installation of a new manufacturing facility in Iuka, Mississippi. Jack’s time at the plant in Mississippi was very successful, and he retired from ATK in 2013 as the operations senior manager of the Iuka facility.

Jack was a lifelong athlete and musician. He played several instruments, but is best known for percussion and guitar. He played these instruments throughout his entire adult life and loved jamming with friends and family. In the late 60’s and early 70’s he was in the band Coalition and remained close friends with his band mates to this day. He loved telling the story of how they traveled together to Woodstock in “Mother,” a 1949 Cadillac ambulance. Physical health and wellness were always a priority to Jack. He played rugby for many years; he also rock climbed, cycled, ran, and played golf to stay in shape. It’s no surprise that after he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, he joined a Rock Steady Boxing program to help battle the disease. Two accomplishments he was most proud of were summiting Grand Teton (elev. 13,770 ft.) with his brother Mike and playing on the Lynchburg Rugby Club with his brother Kevin.

Jack was preceded in death by his parents Harvey James and Betty Jo Sellers, as well as his younger brother Michael. He is survived by his loving wife Diane, his brother Kevin (Jean) Sellers, daughter Erin Sellers Hart, son Jake (Mara) Sellers, daughter Jennifer (Cary) Johnson Turner, and son John Johnson; three grandchildren; and six great- grandchildren; and numerous nieces, nephews; and great-nieces and nephews.

&nbsp;The family would like to send a special thank you to the doctors, nurses, and staff who cared for Jack the past three months – especially those with NMMC Hospice and Right at Home caregivers. Their compassionate care during this difficult time was above and beyond remarkable. We are truly grateful for their empathy and kindness.

Due to COVID19 restrictions, private services will be held for the family on Thursday, May 28 at Wilson Family Funeral Home in Minneapolis, Kansas. Burial will follow at Highland Cemetery. A celebration of life will be held in Iuka, Mississippi and Salt Lake City, Utah at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that donations be made to any of the following organizations:

Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research Alzheimer’s Foundation of America

Sara Collins Medina, 77, of Wakefield, died Monday, May 18, after a short illness.

She was born in in Bridgeport, Connecticut, on July 21, 1942, to the late Owen and Sara Collins of Fairfield. A product of Fairfield Public Schools, Sara attended Vassar College in Poughkeepsie New York, graduating in 1963 with an AB in Russian and Economics. Making her home in New York City, Sara was a writer/researcher for the Hudson Institute, the Indonesian Mission to the United Nations, and for many years at Time Magazine, where she headed the Russian “desk.”

On October 13, 1969, Sara married Ernesto Medina, principal architect at Burns and Roe Engineering in Orodell, New Jersey. They established a second residence in Manila, The Philippines, where Ernesto established his solo architecture practice: Collins, Medina and Haggerty. Departing New York in 1992, Sara was the writer and publisher of a scholarly, historical, journal on Philippine-American relations. In addition, she did writing and research for the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank. Ernesto died of cancer in 1996, and within several years Sara relocated to the United States.

From 2009 to 2012, Sara raced “muscle trucks”, modified pickup trucks with enormous horsepower. Traveling tens of thousands of miles from track to track throughout the west and midwest, Sara reveled in making the trucks “fly”, and declared that there was, for her, no better introduction to the real nature of this country.

A restless spirit led to brief residences and a range of employment in Albuquerque, New Mexico, as well as smaller towns in Oklahoma and Missouri. For the last five years, Sara was proudest of all to call Wakefield, Kansas “home”: many people and friends contributed to her happiness, but none more than her spiritual family within Saint Paul’s Episcopal Church in Clay Center.

Sara is survived by a brother and his wife in Albuquerque, New Mexico; a sister and her husband in South Burlington, Vermont; and numerous nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews.

Cremation has taken place, and a service of remembrance in her Church will take place when restrictions on travel and gatherings have been eased.

Donations may be made to Saint Paul’s Episcopal Church, P.O. Box 625 Clay Center, Kansas 67432

They established a second residence in Manila, The Philippines, where Ernesto established his solo architecture practice: Collins, Medina and Haggerty. Departing New York in 1992, Sara was the writer and publisher of a scholarly, historical, journal on Philippine-American relations. In addition, she did writing and research for the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank. Ernesto died of cancer in 1996, and within several years Sara relocated to the United States.From 2009 to 2012, Sara raced “muscle trucks”, modified pickup trucks with enormous horsepower. Traveling tens of thousands of miles from track to track throughout the west and midwest, Sara reveled in making the trucks “fly”, and declared that there was, for her, no better introduction to the real nature of this country.A restless spirit led to brief residences and a range of employment in Albuquerque, New Mexico, as well as smaller towns in Oklahoma and Missouri. For the last five years, Sara was proudest of all to call Wakefield, Kansas “home”: many people and friends contributed to her happiness, but none more than her spiritual family within Saint Paul’s Episcopal Church in Clay Center.Sara is survived by a brother and his wife in Albuquerque, New Mexico; a sister and her husband in South Burlington, Vermont; and numerous nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews.Cremation has taken place, and a service of remembrance in her Church will take place when restrictions on travel and gatherings have been eased.Donations may be made to Saint Paul’s Episcopal Church, P.O.
