Joseph “Joe” Evilsizer, 89, of Salina, passed away peacefully at Bethany Home in Lindsborg on October 19, 2025.

Joe was born on August 20, 1936, in Nashville, Illinois, to John and Elizabeth (Gregory) Evilsizer. In high school, Joe played basketball and was on the track team. While in school, he worked a milk route, set pins by hand at the bowling alley, and helped on a milk farm.

Joe proudly served his country in the U.S. Army, dedicating many years of his life to military service. He served honorably in both Korea and Vietnam, where he demonstrated great strength and devotion. His time in the service gave him the opportunity to travel, make lifelong friends, and see the world. Joe retired after 20 years in the Army and went on to drive for Tony’s Pizza as a short-haul truck driver, where he spent 15 years before retiring from the company.

Joe enjoyed fishing, camping, and, most of all, spending time with his family.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his beloved wife, Ursula (Tollkuehn); and his son, Johnny Lee.

Joe is survived by his sons, Winfred of Louisiana and Rick (Louann) of Texas; his daughter, Sandra of Salina; six grandchildren; and eleven great-grandchildren. He will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by his family and all who knew him.

Visitation will be held Wednesday, October 22, from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m., with a graveside service to follow at Gypsum Hill Cemetery, 2020 E. Iron St., Salina, KS.

Georgianna “Sissy” Mayor, 69, of McPherson, KS, peacefully passed away on Friday, October 17, 2025, surrounded by her MCDS family at her home.

Sissy was born on February 19, 1956, in Indianapolis, IN, the daughter of Robert E. and Beatrice (Beard) Mayor.

Through McPherson Industries, Sissy worked for several years on the production line at FEMCO, sorting and packaging nuts and bolts.

She had a deep love of music, especially the songs of Elvis Presley and Loretta Lynn. Sissy enjoyed her morning coffee, her Diet Dr. Pepper, and her favorite hamburger from JD’s Kwik Burger. Her favorite color was blue, and she delighted in collecting trinkets, wearing all kinds of necklaces, and working puzzles.

Known for being a little bossy at times, but often right, Sissy had a spirited personality and a heart full of kindness. She loved spending time in the greenhouse and tending to the garden. Trips to the casino were among her favorite outings, and she often returned home a winner. Outgoing and genuine, Sissy was a caring soul who wanted the very best for everyone around her.

Sissy is survived by her mother, Beatrice “Bea” Mayor of Clarksville, TN; a brother, Gary (Edna) Mayor of Clinton, MS; nephew, Bo Mayor; niece, Alicia Mayor; and her loving MCDS family.

Obituary and service times published for late Salina motorcyclist  

Riley Dean Faris, 30, of Salina, Kansas, unexpectedly passed away on October 17th, 2025 following a motorcycle accident.

He was born September 20, 1995 in Plainville, Kansas to parents, Tiny and Linda (Stithem) Faris. He was a beloved son, brother, uncle, and the best friend. He was a man of quick wit with a bigger heart than most, and had an uncanny ability to bring laughter to any situation. To know Riley was to love him. He would give anything to help in any capacity he could.

Riley grew up in Stockton, Kansas and later moved with his family to Salina. He graduated from Salina Central High School in 2014 then went on to pursue a career as a machinist. He started his career at Hoff’s Machine and Welding and was currently at Exline. As a second-generation member of Free Tomorrow Motorcycle Club, he came by it naturally and motorcycles were his passion; whether it was riding, building, fixing, or just burning some rubber, because who doesn’t love a good burnout?! Even from a young age, Riley was known for taking apart anything he could find and then trying to piece it back together to make it his own. Although cut short, his life has left a lasting impact on so many people and he will be missed by all that loved him.

Survivors include his parents, Tiny and Linda Faris; brother, Colton Faris (Kelly); nephew, Watson; and niece, Caroline Faris.Riley was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Ronald and Alice Stithem; and aunt, Ronda Stanley.

He also leaves behind his brothers and their families of Free Tomorrow Motorcycle Club, many friends, paternal grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

A Celebration of Life Event will be held from 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm, Tuesday, October 28, at the VFW Post 1432, 1108 W. Crawford St, Salina.

Donations may be directed to Linda Faris, with details to be determined at a later date, sent in care of Carlson-Geisendorf Funeral Home, 500 S. Ohio St., Salina, Kansas.

Vivian Ruth Urban, 100, of Lucas, Kansas, passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, October 16, 2025, in the presence of her loving family.

Vivian was born on August 9, 1925, to Noah and Ruth (Cullens) McGuire on the family farm seven miles northwest of Lucas, Kansas, in Osborne County. She was the sixth of their ten children.

Vivian learned early that faith in God, working hard, being persistent, respectful, kind, and generous was how she wanted to live her life. She loved growing up on the farm, working and having fun alongside her brothers, sisters, and parents. Times back then were good and bad, just like today. Her family survived the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl. She saw her brothers serve in World War II and return home safely. Those formative years shaped her into the wonderful, exceptional, and loving woman we all knew and loved. Vivian met and surpassed countless milestones in her 100-plus years, and she thanked God every day for her blessed life.

Vivian graduated from Lucas High School in 1943 and taught at North Delhi and Greenview County Grade Schools for two years. She married Duane Urban on December 16, 1945, in the Delhi Church north of Lucas. They started their family while living in Sylvan Grove, Kansas. They raised eight children: LaVaughn Ruth, Mary Frances, Carol Jean, Duane Carlisle, Mildred Marie, David Lee, Jo Ann, and Richard Alan, while farming and ranching. Times were tough for a lot of people during those years. Vivian and Duane welcome Sharon and Dale Urban, their niece and nephew, into their home for about a year to help out the family. It wasn’t easy, but that’s what you did for family.

When farming didn’t work out in 1964, the couple moved to Lucas, Kansas, and began working at K-18 Café and Home Oil Company. Then, in 1965, they started leasing the Café until 1981, when they purchased the business. They ran K-18 Café for 22 years until their retirement in 1987. During the Café years, Vivian wore many, many hats. She worked multiple shifts most days, and it was open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year back then. She was a cook, waitress, dishwasher, baker; she did payroll, taxes, laundry, and scheduling. The list goes on. Plus, she still took care of raising her family of eight kids. Most of whom worked alongside her at the Café. Vivian was a lifetime member of the Methodist Church and a 79-year member of the Order of the Eastern Star.

Vivian was well known in the Lucas and Sylvan Grove communities and surrounding towns. Not only from the meals and pies she made at the Café, but every Sunday she brought to church banana-nut bread, cookies, and angel food cake. For family reunions and holidays, there were all flavors of pies, cookies, and kolaches, banana-nut bread, chocolate cheesecake, and her famous homemade chicken and noodle soup. (This is why most of us are not skinny.) If you ever stopped by to visit her, it was a good bet you were leaving with a loaf of banana-nut bread. Vivian continued her baking and cooking until around 98 years of age, when she decided to slow down.

Vivian loved seeing her grandchildren. Most of them called her “Grams”. She and Duane taught them to play pinochle, pitch, rummy, and cribbage. They would spend hours at home with them playing cards, sometimes until past their bedtime, because Grandpa hadn’t won a game yet. She also spent time teaching some of them how to make egg noodles, kolaches, and other recipes from scratch.

Up until her eyesight began failing, Vivian was an avid reader of many different genres of fiction. She also enjoyed her time at the Lucas Golden Age Center (Senior Center), having coffee, lunch, visiting, and playing pitch in the afternoon with her friends. Of course, she was never empty-handed when she came.

Vivian was also the person to ask if you had a question about local history. It didn’t matter what it was about, a person, place, event, or date. She was always able to recall the answer, plus even more related information. Even at 100 years of age, her memory never failed to amaze.

She always enjoyed watching or listening to her Kansas City Chiefs and Royals games on television and would cheer them on, wrapped up in their blankets to keep warm.

Earlier, Vivian’s persistence was mentioned, and another example of her determination was when she had a major heart attack at 99, which she recovered from. So she was able to make it to her 100th birthday party and celebrate that milestone with family and friends.

Vivian’s legacy is a remarkable one filled with love and devotion to family, kindness, generosity, her quiet strength and sense of humor, and never complaining because that was a waste of time.

 </figure>Vivian Ruth Urban, 100, of Lucas, Kansas, passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, October 16, 2025, in the presence of her loving family.Vivian was born on August 9, 1925, to Noah and Ruth (Cullens) McGuire on the family farm seven miles northwest of Lucas, Kansas, in Osborne County. She was the sixth of their ten children.Vivian learned early that faith in God, working hard, being persistent, respectful, kind, and generous was how she wanted to live her life. She loved growing up on the farm, working and having fun alongside her brothers, sisters, and parents. Times back then were good and bad, just like today. Her family survived the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl. She saw her brothers serve in World War II and return home safely. Those formative years shaped her into the wonderful, exceptional, and loving woman we all knew and loved. Vivian met and surpassed countless milestones in her 100-plus years, and she thanked God every day for her blessed life.Vivian graduated from Lucas High School in 1943 and taught at North Delhi and Greenview County Grade Schools for two years. She married Duane Urban on December 16, 1945, in the Delhi Church north of Lucas. They started their family while living in Sylvan Grove, Kansas. They raised eight children: LaVaughn Ruth, Mary Frances, Carol Jean, Duane Carlisle, Mildred Marie, David Lee, Jo Ann, and Richard Alan, while farming and ranching. Times were tough for a lot of people during those years. Vivian and Duane welcome Sharon and Dale Urban, their niece and nephew, into their home for about a year to help out the family. It wasn’t easy, but that’s what you did for family.When farming didn’t work out in 1964, the couple moved to Lucas, Kansas, and began working at K-18 Café and Home Oil Company. Then, in 1965, they started leasing the Café until 1981, when they purchased the business. They ran K-18 Café for 22 years until their retirement in 1987. During the Café years, Vivian wore many, many hats. She worked multiple shifts most days, and it was open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year back then. She was a cook, waitress, dishwasher, baker; she did payroll, taxes, laundry, and scheduling. The list goes on. Plus, she still took care of raising her family of eight kids. Most of whom worked alongside her at the Café. Vivian was a lifetime member of the Methodist Church and a 79-year member of the Order of the Eastern Star.Vivian was well known in the Lucas and Sylvan Grove communities and surrounding towns. Not only from the meals and pies she made at the Café, but every Sunday she brought to church banana-nut bread, cookies, and angel food cake. For family reunions and holidays, there were all flavors of pies, cookies, and kolaches, banana-nut bread, chocolate cheesecake, and her famous homemade chicken and noodle soup. (This is why most of us are not skinny.) If you ever stopped by to visit her, it was a good bet you were leaving with a loaf of banana-nut bread. Vivian continued her baking and cooking until around 98 years of age, when she decided to slow down.Vivian loved seeing her grandchildren. Most of them called her “Grams”. She and Duane taught them to play pinochle, pitch, rummy, and cribbage. They would spend hours at home with them playing cards, sometimes until past their bedtime, because Grandpa hadn’t won a game yet. She also spent time teaching some of them how to make egg noodles, kolaches, and other recipes from scratch.Up until her eyesight began failing, Vivian was an avid reader of many different genres of fiction. She also enjoyed her time at the Lucas Golden Age Center (Senior Center), having coffee, lunch, visiting, and playing pitch in the afternoon with her friends. Of course, she was never empty-handed when she came.Vivian was also the person to ask if you had a question about local history. It didn’t matter what it was about, a person, place, event, or date. She was always able to recall the answer, plus even more related information. Even at 100 years of age, her memory never failed to amaze.She always enjoyed watching or listening to her Kansas City Chiefs and Royals games on television and would cheer them on, wrapped up in their blankets to keep warm.Earlier, Vivian’s persistence was mentioned, and another example of her determination was when she had a major heart attack at 99, which she recovered from. So she was able to make it to her 100th birthday party and celebrate that milestone with family and friends.Vivian’s legacy is a remarkable one filled with love and devotion to family, kindness, generosity, her quiet strength and sense of humor, and never complaining because that was a waste of time. She was supportive and always available to listen, encourage, and give advice if needed. Her passing leaves an emptiness in the hearts of all who loved her, and she will never be forgotten by those whose lives she touched.Surviving family includes her children: Carol (Pete) Soto, Jr., Mildred Zurenda, David (Candi) Urban, Jo Ann (Lester) Frederking, Richard (Connie) Urban, 22 grandchildren, 69 great-grandchildren, 12 great-great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.She was preceded in death by her husband, Duane on June 11, 1998, her parents and siblings: Lavona Heinze, Nova Blundon, Naomi McNeil, Mary Jane Hendrix, Anita Isbell, Arven McGuire, Wilbur McGuire, and Richard McGuire, son: Duane Urban II, daughters: Mary Berry, and LaVaughn Urban, grandson: Lance Emerson, and great-granddaughter Jillian Fuellbier.To<a href="https://rodrickminear-lucas-chapel.tributestore.com/?oId=45935108&amp;tag=&amp;tn=V2MSticky&amp;otv=Frazer_MS2_Cont&amp;source=tco_description&amp;_cdx=GA1.2.629820658.1758810127:GS2.1.s1760709598$o7$g1$t1760709668$j60$l0$h0&amp;tcouuid=61286206-b43b-473e-9279-d32bd9ffc688&amp;mtph=1">send flowers</a>&nbsp;to the family or&nbsp;<a href="https://tree.tributestore.com/?oId=45935108&amp;tag=&amp;otv=Frazer_MS2_Cont&amp;source=tco_description&amp;_cdx=GA1.2.629820658.1758810127:GS2.1.s1760709598$o7$g1$t1760709668$j60$l0$h0&amp;tcouuid=61286206-b43b-473e-9279-d32bd9ffc688&amp;mtph=1">plant a tree</a>&nbsp;in memory of Vivian, please&nbsp;<a href="https://rodrickminear-lucas-chapel.tributestore.com/?oId=45935108&amp;tag=&amp;tn=V2MSticky&amp;otv=Frazer_MS2_Cont&amp;source=tco_description&amp;_cdx=GA1.2.629820658.1758810127:GS2.1.s1760709598$o7$g1$t1760709668$j60$l0$h0&amp;tcouuid=61286206-b43b-473e-9279-d32bd9ffc688&amp;mtph=1">visit our floral store.</a>

Stephanie De-Ann Marshall passed on October 11, 2025 in the care of Hospice at Village Manor in Abilene.

Mrs. Marshall was born Stephanie De-Ann Cossel November 10, 1949 to Kenneth Everett Cossel and Virginia Lea Smith Cossel in Spokane Washington.

On June 30, 1967, she was wed to William Ira Marshall Sr. To this union were three children, Robin Dee (Gary) Williams of Wichita, KS, Buffy Jo-El (Chris) Dugan of Wichita, KS, and William I. Marshall, Jr (Kelly Skinner) of Olathe, KS.

Dee attended Concordia public schools. She received a Bachelor of Science from Marymount College in 1988 and a Master of Business Administration from Kansas Wesleyan University in 1997. In 1999, Dee earned Certified Public Manager.

Dee was employed by The Kansas Department of Corrections as head accountant for the Ellsworth Correctional Facility in Ellsworth, Kansas, and as Business Administrator for the Topeka and Hutchinson Correctional Facilities. She also served as adjunct faculty for Benedictine College, Kansas Wesleyan University and Kansas State University of Salina teaching computer sciences, accounting, and linear statistics. She was a past president of Phi Beta Lambda of Marymount College.

Dee was a long-time Abilene resident and active in the community. She was a member of St. Andrew’s Catholic Church and served on the Pastoral Parish Council and the Finance Council. She was a member of The American Correctional Association, The Kansas Correctional Association and The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) where she served as State Treasurer and State Auditor, National Appointment as State Chair of Master Reports, Kansas Society DAR, Vice Chair of Auditing and Vice Chair America 250! Patriot Express, National Society of the DAR. She served in many offices for the Abilene Chapter DAR to include Regent, Vice Regent, Registrar and Treasurer. She served as the president of the Board of Directors for Great Plains Theatre, on the Abilene City Commission from 2015-2023 and was Abilene Mayor from 2016-2017 and in 2021.

She was preceded in death by her mother, father, step father (Jim Allen), brothers Ron and K. Wayne (Butch), brothers-in-law Gary Ashland and Chuck Eis and nieces Geri Eis and Victoria Ashland.

Dee is survived by her husband of the home, three children, 11 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren, two sisters, Kathy Ashland of Concordia, Kennda Eis of Milwaukee, WI, two brothers, Wallace (Pat) Cossel of Sheridan, WY, Terry (Karen) Cossel of Beatrice, NE .and numerous other relatives.

Dee was always busy. If she did not have work, she found it. She enjoyed working in the house, garden and even enjoyed weeding. She also enjoyed sewing, reading, crossword puzzles and etching glass. Because she often needed muscle and logistics, she required Bill’s help…whether he liked it or not. A project for DAR spawned a newfound and much-loved hobby of headstone restoration. She and Bill traveled across Kansas and Missouri restoring family headstones; cleaning and resetting the stones where needed. They even had broken stones repaired by professionals when the work was beyond their capabilities.

Visitation will be held Sunday, October 19th at the St Andrews Catholic Church from 3pm-4:30pm followed by the rosary.

Funeral services are Monday, October 20 at 10am at the St Andrews Catholic Church, Abilene, KS followed by graveside services at St Joseph’s Cemetery. Immediately following, family and friends are invited to celebrate Dee’s life at a lunch at the St Andrew’s Parish Center.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in her memory to St Andrews (Abilene, KS) school, Abilene Chapter of the DAR or Home Health &amp; Hospice of |Dickinson County. Memorials may be dropped off or mailed to Martin-Becker-Carlson Funeral Home, 414 NW Third St., Abilene, Kansas 67410.

Mrs. Madonna Jean Reynolds (née Miller), age 92, passed away peacefully on October 10, 2025, at Pine Village in Moundridge, Kansas. Her long and fulfilling life was marked by dedication to family, faith, and service to others.

Born on August 24, 1933, in Skidmore, Missouri, Madonna was the eldest child of Floyd and Kathryn Miller. She spent her early years in Iowa, beginning school in Elkhart Consolidated Schools in 1938 before continuing her education at Ankeny Consolidated Schools from 1946. She graduated from Ankeny Consolidated School in 1951. Her commitment to lifelong learning continued well into adulthood; in 1987 she earned an Associate of Arts degree from Barton County Community College to fulfill the requirements for her Adult Care Home Administrator license.

On September 16, 1953, Madonna was united in marriage to Everett Dean Reynolds at the Des Moines Valley Church of the Brethren in Ankeny, Iowa. They were married 63 years before Dean’s passing on July 5, 2017.

Madonna’s professional journey began at Meredith Publishing in Des Moines, Iowa. After moving to Kansas, she worked at McPherson College where she contributed her skills as a typist and editor to a book authored by her future daughter-in-law's grandfather—an early sign of the deep interweaving of her personal and professional lives.

In 1975, Madonna began working at The Cedars retirement and health care community in McPherson, Kansas. Starting as an administrative secretary, she transitioned to health care administrator by 1987—a position she held with distinction until her retirement in 1997. Her leadership and compassion left a lasting impact on residents and staff alike.

Even after retiring from full-time work, Madonna remained active and engaged with her community. She worked at The Buttonhole fabric and quilting store where she shared her love of sewing by teaching classes and helping others find joy in fabric arts.

Madonna was a woman of many talents and interests. A gifted seamstress and homemaker, she found joy in sewing and quilting projects that reflected both creativity and precision. She loved gardening and took pride in cultivating beauty around her home. Reading short stories, magazines, and newspapers kept her mind sharp and curious throughout her life. She also enjoyed traveling—exploring new places while always cherishing time spent at home with family or alone enjoying her hobbies.

Her faith was a cornerstone of her life. Raised in the Des Moines Valley Church of the Brethren near rural Elkhart, Iowa, she became an active member of the McPherson Church of the Brethren upon moving to Kansas in 1963. Her decades-long involvement reflected a deep commitment that guided her actions and relationships.

Madonna’s family was central to her life. She is lovingly remembered by her son Brian Reynolds and daughter-in-law Kristen Reynolds; son-in-law Gary French; grandchildren Greg (Colleen) French, Amy (Cody Deegan) French, Dan Reynolds, and Lindy (Mikayla Craver) Reynolds; brother David Miller; sister Barbara (Gary) Fry; sisters-in-law Sara Miller, and Dee Reynolds; as well as many nieces, nephews, and extended family members.

She was preceded in death by her husband Dean Reynolds; daughter Brenda French; parents Floyd and Kathryn Miller; brother Maury Miller; brother-in-law Fred Reynolds; sister-in-law Betty Romick and brother-in-law Ray Romick.

A come &amp; go celebration of life will be held on Saturday, November 8, 2025, from 1:00 PM until 3:00 PM at the McPherson Church of the Brethren Social Room. The final resting place will be in McPherson Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the McPherson Church of the Brethren in care of Stockham Family Funeral Home, 205 North Chestnut, McPherson, KS 67460.

Alfred C. “Al” Reif was born on February 3, 1942 to Alfred A. and Clara (Polzin) Reif, and entered into heavenly rest on October 15, 2025, with his daughters by his side.

He was born in Hoisington, KS and raised primarily in Osborne, Kansas, graduating from Osborne High School in 1960. He enlisted in the Marine Corps, married Anne Gilmore in May 1964 and served in Vietnam as a mechanic. He remained active in the VFW, American Legion, and Marine Corp League throughout his life and was proud of his service to his country. He worked with veterans to ensure that they received the benefits they had earned and touched the lives of many. Al was a vital part of the Osborne community serving on the county commission, his parish council, and city council.

After residing in Bakersfield, CA; Lawrence, KS; Topeka, KS; and Owensville, MO, he and Anne returned home to Osborne in 1976 and began their refuse business, C &amp; R Sanitation. Al always went above and beyond in each aspect of his business. He sandblasted, welded, made dumpsters, repaired his trucks, and made sure that his routes were run with efficiency.

Al and Anne had 3 daughters, Anastasia, Allison, and Amy. He would give Anne most of the credit for raising them, but he was always there for important events, games, and teaching moments. He supported them even after they had left home by becoming involved in their children’s schools and activities.

He adored his grandchildren, Luke (Natusko) McDaneld, Sam McDaneld, Kelseigh (Elijah) Figgs, Ethan Figgs (Halie), Christopher Simmons, and Katherine Simmons and loved to visit them whenever he got the chance. It was even better when they would come to see him and explore the town where Papa Al lived. He never knew a stranger and was happy to talk to anyone and many remember him for his teasing and joking.

He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Anne; his parents, in-laws, and five of his siblings. He is loved and remembered by a host of family and friends.

Isaiah 30:21: Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, "This is the way; walk in it."&nbsp;

Dennis Graduated from Salina South High in 1974. After High School, he enrolled at K-State as a Dane Hansen Scholar to study pre-medicine and statistics.

Ina Lee Garrison, age 89, passed away on Monday, October 13, 2025, at Park Villa Nursing Home in Clyde, Kansas.&nbsp;&nbsp;

From the start,&nbsp;Ina did things in a memorable way, born during a record-breaking heat wave on August 23, 1936, to Leon "Lefty" and Evelina (Forgue) Courville in Concordia, Kansas. She was also welcomed by her two older brothers, Moe and Donnie. As a child, Ina enjoyed playing "Kick the Can" with Dorothy and the rest of the neighborhood children. She loved having her hair washed at the Palace Barbershop where Lefty worked, and shopping at Bon Marche.&nbsp;

Ina graduated from Concordia Catholic High School and then worked as a service representative for Southwestern Bell. She had a spirit of adventure, driving to New York City with her friend Leatha May and to Atlantic City to see the Miss America pageant. According to local sources, she was hand-picked to be a chaperone for a class’s Senior Sneak to Colorado. She also enjoyed spending time at the local sand pit, boating and water skiing, where she met her future husband.

Ina married Dale Garrison on June 24, 1961, at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church in Concordia. Together, they raised four children in Concordia, continued traveling occasionally, and provided countless memories for their children and grandchildren during time spent at Lovewell Lake. Possibly because of those four children, Ina got out of the house to pursue a variety of interests such as bowling, singing in the church choir, and forming life-long friendships with her “sisters” of Phi Beta Epsilon sorority. She and Dale also hosted great parties and loved playing cards or a night out at the Elks Club with Jack and Sue, Willie and Don, Opal and numerous other friends.

Once the children were grown, Ina spent time volunteering to work at local elections, gave blood, serving on the Parish Council and Hospital Auxiliary committees, and countless other causes. She was always generous about offering her time, resources and opinions to things that mattered to her. She also returned to the workforce, as an insurance billing clerk for Pawnee Mental Health and then as a clerk at the Catholic Thrift Shop. She kept a lovely home and yard and was quite particular about details.

In 2011, Dale and Ina moved to Clyde, KS, where Ina became a member of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church.

Ina was preceded in death by her husband Dale, her parents, Lefty and Evelina, brother, Elmo Courville, and 2 infant brothers, Ansel and Joseph.

She is survived by four children, Tara Garrison, Noel Garrison, David (Stephanie) Garrison, and Amy Hensler (Ben), along with her seven grandchildren, Brock (Darci) Boling, Blake Boling, Brennan Boling, Grayson and McKenzie Hensler, Devin (John) Michaletti, and Colby Garrison. She is also survived by four great-grandsons, Graham, Nash and Knox Boling, Jack Michaletti, her brother, Don (Johnita) Courville, and sister-in-law, Roberta Courville, and several nieces and nephews. Ina will be remembered by her family for her committment to providing them with magical Christmas celebrations, fun Birthday parties and an ever-present concern for their happiness and enjoyment of life. She gave so much, from back scratches to baking pumpkin bread, to paying for trips. All with love.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, October 16, 2025, from 1-8 p.m., with the family receiving friends after the Rosary Service.&nbsp;&nbsp;A Rosary Service will be held at 6:00 p.m., Thursday evening at the Chaput-Buoy Funeral Home, in Concordia, Kansas, led by Fr. Joseph Kieffer.

A Mass of Christian burial will be held 10:00 a.m., Friday, October 17, 2025, Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, in Concordia, with Fr. Barry Brinkman officiating.&nbsp;&nbsp;The burial will follow in the St. Concordia Cemetery, Concordia.
