Marilou Kay Feyerhermpassed away on February 11, 2020 at the age of 69. She was born January 28, 1951 in Roswell, NM to Verna and Robert Edmiston. She was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Robert, James, and Randy; two daughters, Gretchen and Adrianna; and granddaughter, Chloe.

Marilou grew up in a military family and would often entertain her children by sharing stories about the many different places she lived. Her family eventually settled in Wichita, KS where she attended and graduated from Wichita South High School. After high school, she attended the University of Kansas for journalism and was a life-long Jayhawk fan. She had a love of words and enjoyed challenging word games and puzzles.

On October 10, 1970, she married Robert, and they settled in Salina, Kansas in 1978. They had eight children together, and as a young couple suffered the loss of their daughter Gretchen to SIDS. After the loss, Marilou was involved in Compassionate Friends and offered support to other families.

She was a devoted mother and cheerleader in her children's lives. She loved watching her kids play sports and could always be heard from the stands. Marilou valued education and community involvement. A strong role model, she passed on her commitment to feminist issues and standing up for your beliefs. Throughout her life she was involved in the PTA, the League of Women Voters, 4-H, EHU, and the Democratic Party. After raising her children, Marilou worked over 20 years as a retail merchandiser.

As a devout Presbyterian, she knew she would someday be reunited with those whom she lost and loved. She will be remembered fondly for her creative homemade Halloween costumes, sarcastic sense of humor, love of politics, and extensive trivia and pop culture knowledge. As a family, we are saddened to lose such a unique and strong-minded woman, but we know her reunion in heaven will be one of love and peace.

Marilou is survived by her husband Robert of Salina; daughters, Richelle Feyerherm (Robert Jacobs) of Cumming, GA; Heidi Feyerherm-Smith (Kevin Smith) of Salina; Katrina Feyerherm of New London, CT; Kjersten Feyerherm (Scott Agin) of Minneapolis, MN; sons, Robert Feyerherm II (Erin) of Topeka; and Jonathon Feyerherm of Reno, NV; sister, Karen Edmiston-Hunt of Wichita, KS; brother, Larry Edmiston (Candace) of Goodyear, AZ; nieces, Katie Edmiston and Meghan Edmiston; nephew, Chris Edmiston; and grandchildren, Brianna, Hunter, Ethan, Hailey, Weylent, Gracie, Lexiana, Samuel, Adelaide, and Josephine.

Nancy Lee Kingpassed away February 8, 2020 to meet the Lord and reunite with her soulmate Daniel C. King. Nancy was born April 7, 1937 in Greatbend, Kansas to David and Olive Kelly. Survivors include daughters Lori Chart and husband Michael of Salina, Jennifer Moyer of Salina, and grandsons Brock Chart of Lawrence, Ks. And Austin Chart of Hays, Ks. Nancy was preceded in death by her parents, 2 sisters and her loving husband Dan in 2017. Nancy graduated highschool in Wichita, Ks. In 1955 and then attended Kansas State University where she was a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority. Nancy would say one of the best days of her college career was sitting in alphabetical order in humanities class next to Daniel C. King and the rest is history. Nancy knew that she had met an incredible man when on her first date she received a call that her father had passed away. Dan drove Nancy to Wichita and never left her side.

Nancy and Dan married August 25, 1957 and lived a true love story until Dan’s passing on their 60th wedding anniversary in 2017. Nancy missed Dan every day. Nancy decided to put her college career on hold and worked at Farm Bureau in Manhattan to support Dan through vet school. Nancy took pride in being an incredible wife helping Dan start their veterinary clinic,Town and Country Animal Hospital when they moved to Salina in 1960. Nancy had an incredible talent for decorating and making a loving home for her family. Nancy was an amazing mother to her daughters. She was the most selfless person, seeing the good in everyone and never giving up on others, she loved taking care of people. Her true passion in life was being the best wife, mother and “grammy” and she was. She loved and supported her grandsons Brock and Austin more than ever in all of their interests and talents. She was so proud of them. Nancy was full of compassion, class and grace. She had a strong faith and knew she would someday be reunited with her “Dan” whom she missed so much.

As a family, we are incredibly sad to lose such an amazing woman and will miss her beyond words. But we know that her and Dan had an incredible reunion in Heaven and will be once again walking hand in hand as it should be.

Memorial services will be held Saturday, February 22, at 2:30 pm at First United Methodist Church. Interment will follow at Roselawn Cemetary and reception will follow at First United Methodist church where the family will greet friends.

Jeanne Marie Mathy, 89, of Belleville, died Sunday, February 9th, 2020 surrounded by her 5 children, at Republic County Hospital. She was born July 20th, 1930, in Concordia, to Abner Trembly Sr. and Blanche Bessette. Jeanne had two siblings - a brother Abner Jr. and a sister Elizabeth Josephine (“Jo”). Both siblings have preceded Jeanne in death. During Jeanne’s childhood, their family moved to Paola for Abner Sr’s job. She attended Ursuline Academy for high school and graduated in 1948. After high school, she attended Marymount College to become a nurse. Jeanne spent many years after college working as a nurse at various places in Washington and Republic Counties. She ended her career as an in-home care nurse for the Belleville Health Department. Jeanne truly loved caring for others.

Jeanne married her first husband Donald “Gooch” Moore on November 24th, 1951. They had four children together...Linda, Mary, Larry and Donald (Donnie). After Gooch’s death in 1970, she then married Donald Mathy in 1972. In 1974, they welcomed a child of their own, Mark. Don and Jeanne spent many years together in Morrowville, KS after their marriage. In 1987, Jeanne and her family moved to Belleville to give their son Mark an opportunity to attend a slightly larger school. She loved all of her kids equally and with all of her heart, but she definitely spoiled her youngest. Once Mark graduated high school and they both had retired, Don and Jeanne moved back to Morrowville. They enjoyed their retirement together and spent a lot of time traveling with their camper. They eventually started spending their winters in the southern part of the country which led to purchasing a small trailer in Alamogordo, NM. They enjoyed a number of winters there together and tended to arrive in Alamogordo after Thanksgiving and returned home in the spring.

As the struggles of aging progressed, Don and Jeanne moved back to Belleville to be closer to the necessities of life, as well as to have easier access to health care. When Don could no longer drive long distances due to his glaucoma, they had to stop traveling south for the winter. Still, they had a great home in Belleville that allowed them to continue to enjoy each other’s company. In the winter of 2012, Jeanne fell at home, shattered her right shoulder, and had to spend some time in the hospital to recover. Shortly after her fall, Don was diagnosed with cancer and joined Mom in the hospital. They shared a room together in long-term care until Don passed away on May 3rd, 2012. After Don’s death, Jeanne moved to Country Place in Belleville, where she spent the remainder of her years on Earth.

Jeanne will be remembered for many things. She was a caring nurse and an amazing cook. Those who knew her well would say she would tell you what she thought exactly as she saw it. She was honest as the day is long and a straight-shooter if there ever was one. But what she will be remembered for most is the love she gave her family. She was a Mother, a Grandmother and a Great-Grandmother - all roles she deeply cherished. She cared about others and showed her love all the way up to her dying day, caring more about her kids getting some rest than how sick she was herself. That’s just who she was. And we will never forget her.

 </figure>Jeanne Marie Mathy, 89, of Belleville, died Sunday, February 9th, 2020 surrounded by her 5 children, at Republic County Hospital. She was born July 20th, 1930, in Concordia, to Abner Trembly Sr. and Blanche Bessette. Jeanne had two siblings - a brother Abner Jr. and a sister Elizabeth Josephine (“Jo”). Both siblings have preceded Jeanne in death. During Jeanne’s childhood, their family moved to Paola for Abner Sr’s job. She attended Ursuline Academy for high school and graduated in 1948. After high school, she attended Marymount College to become a nurse. Jeanne spent many years after college working as a nurse at various places in Washington and Republic Counties. She ended her career as an in-home care nurse for the Belleville Health Department. Jeanne truly loved caring for others.Jeanne married her first husband Donald “Gooch” Moore on November 24th, 1951. They had four children together...Linda, Mary, Larry and Donald (Donnie). After Gooch’s death in 1970, she then married Donald Mathy in 1972. In 1974, they welcomed a child of their own, Mark. Don and Jeanne spent many years together in Morrowville, KS after their marriage. In 1987, Jeanne and her family moved to Belleville to give their son Mark an opportunity to attend a slightly larger school. She loved all of her kids equally and with all of her heart, but she definitely spoiled her youngest. Once Mark graduated high school and they both had retired, Don and Jeanne moved back to Morrowville. They enjoyed their retirement together and spent a lot of time traveling with their camper. They eventually started spending their winters in the southern part of the country which led to purchasing a small trailer in Alamogordo, NM. They enjoyed a number of winters there together and tended to arrive in Alamogordo after Thanksgiving and returned home in the spring.As the struggles of aging progressed, Don and Jeanne moved back to Belleville to be closer to the necessities of life, as well as to have easier access to health care. When Don could no longer drive long distances due to his glaucoma, they had to stop traveling south for the winter. Still, they had a great home in Belleville that allowed them to continue to enjoy each other’s company. In the winter of 2012, Jeanne fell at home, shattered her right shoulder, and had to spend some time in the hospital to recover. Shortly after her fall, Don was diagnosed with cancer and joined Mom in the hospital. They shared a room together in long-term care until Don passed away on May 3rd, 2012. After Don’s death, Jeanne moved to Country Place in Belleville, where she spent the remainder of her years on Earth.Jeanne will be remembered for many things. She was a caring nurse and an amazing cook. Those who knew her well would say she would tell you what she thought exactly as she saw it. She was honest as the day is long and a straight-shooter if there ever was one. But what she will be remembered for most is the love she gave her family. She was a Mother, a Grandmother and a Great-Grandmother - all roles she deeply cherished. She cared about others and showed her love all the way up to her dying day, caring more about her kids getting some rest than how sick she was herself. That’s just who she was. And we will never forget her.Visitation will be on Friday, February 14, 2020, from 12:00 pm – 7:00 pm, at Tibbetts-Fischer Funeral Home in Belleville, where the family will greet friends from 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm.Rosary Services will be held at 6:00 pm at Tibbetts-Fischer Funeral Home, conducted by Deacon Steve Heiman.Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, February 15, 2020, at St. Edward Catholic Church in Belleville, with Father Henry Baxa officiating.
