Joseph (Joe) Frank Wesley November 19, 1960 ~&nbsp;April 12, 2024

Joseph&nbsp;(Joe)&nbsp;Frank Wesley&nbsp;passed away April 12, 2024. He was born November 19, 1960 and lived in Kansas most of his life, but in recent years relocated to be closer to his twin brother Jim. They say twins have a special symbiotic relationship and those two boys are proof of that. He visited Kansas family and friends, usually around the holidays or special events, and his presence was always a welcome sight. Although Joe loved to call himself a Bohemian (his dad’s side of the family), he could spin a yarn like an Irishman (his mother’s side of the family), and there wasn’t a subject that he didn’t enjoy discussing, bantering about, or debating on. He loved his many nieces and nephews and they all adored him. Joe had the heart of a child and would tussle, play games, and tease them until their sides hurt from all the laughter. Joe had a special love for the Kansas countryside and all it has to offer. He was a great outdoorsman. We now make this announcement with great sadness.

With a heavy heart, Jim Wesley, Joe's twin brother and friend shared with his family and friends the shocking news of Joe's passing at 63 years young from his earthly life while in his sleep. Joe lived his life with a smile. He never knew a stranger and loved story telling. Joe was always ready to go fishing, eat/cook a good meal, or cheer for his favorite Kansas sports teams. He was a committed bachelor but always looking at the ladies! He will be missed by his Kansas family, his Catholic Church choir, and his friends. Joe is remembered for his high school sports success, serving his country in the Army National Guard, owning Joe's&nbsp;Automart&nbsp;with his&nbsp;Dad, and working in construction, painting, and several factory jobs. He did all this despite having suffered debilitating back injuries received from a tragic motorcycle accident. He was struck by a car that pulled out on a busy road without looking carefully for cross traffic. Although the medical team said he would never walk again; Joe was resolute and determined, and as he had always persisted in sports he dug in and proved them wrong. He had the grit and determination to walk and so walk he did! Following his long recovery Joe achieved much success in being able to work and live on his own. Joe and his twin brother Jim enjoyed competing in life together and having fun. Jim exclaimed "I think we will call it a tie since he isn't here to chime in." We love&nbsp;you&nbsp;Joe! Rest in Peace with your Father in Heaven.

Joe was preceded in death by his father, Melvin Joe Wesley. He is survived by his mother, Mary Beth Wesley; six siblings, Lisa Storm, LA Wesley, Chris Wesley, Judith Wesley, twin brother Jim Wesley, and Sister Mary Catherine (Bernadette Wesley).

A Prayer Service will be held at 7:30 p.m., Monday, May 27, 2024 at St Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church. The church is located at 1000 Burr Oak Ln, Salina, KS 67401. Preceding the Prayer Service, the Sacrament of Confession will be available starting at 7 p.m.

A Funeral Mass will be held at 10 a.m. Tuesday, May 28th at St Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church.&nbsp; The graveside service will follow at All Saints Catholic Cemetery, and afterwards a luncheon will be served at St Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church.

Memorials to: Monastery of St. Clare, 200&nbsp;Marycrest&nbsp;Dr., St. Louis, MO 63129.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Joseph-Wesley">https://www.ryanmortuary.com/obituary/Joseph-Wesley</a>

Harold E. Wilson

Doctor Gregory Dean Postier D.C., 38, of Manhattan, Kansas passed away on May 14, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, dedication, and passion for life and health.&nbsp;

Greg was born on October 8, 1985, in Hutchinson, Kansas and raised in Inman, where he graduated from Inman High School before pursuing higher education, first at Hutchinson Community College and then at Kansas State University where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology. His journey in healthcare continued at Palmer College of Chiropractic, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 2012. Greg began his profession at Goble-Heal Chiropractic clinics in Indiana, and in the fall of 2015, he fulfilled his dream of opening his own practice, Postier Chiropractic.&nbsp;

Greg was passionate about helping others reach their best physical lives as a Chiropractor who specialized in the Gonstead method. He was intentional when he sat with his patients and helped them dream of what life could be like if they didn’t carry the weight of physical injury or pain. He loved being able to educate people on the importance of the nervous system in every other part of their body’s functioning. &nbsp;He loved reading testimonials about how his work was able to change his patient’s lives in such tangible ways.

On a more personal note, to know him was to love him.

To love him was to know that one of the most epic qualities about Greg was his ability to embody numerous sides of himself all at once. He could go from being ornery and pranking to being compassionate in an instant and laser focused on fixing any of your problems that he was able to. This was a quality he even claimed was a critical piece of his “provider theory” that he took pride in developing and detailing over the course of his life.&nbsp; In fact, this would have been a topic for chapter 3 of his future book on the subject.

He wore many hats over the years and was involved in a wide variety of hobbies and causes to include: being a hardworking farm kid, an avid outdoorsman, an adept “provider”, a catfishing champion, a bird hunter, an intense fisherman, an amateur model (even if his role was “coach/dad” and not an “athlete”), a skilled handyman, a junior college mascot, a playful prankster, a fierce advocate for the underdogs (especially the teens he supported as a volunteer with the Flint Hills Foster Teen Camps for the last 7 years), a devoted friend, brother, son and nephew, and of course a very passionate and gifted doctor.

With his mind always active on improving and caring for people around him, he found peace in the quiet, focused moments of dialing in his kayak for the next adventure and he would spend countless hours fine tuning all his equipment. From the days he started fishing in the creek near his home, he started dreaming of owning a boat and spending as much time fishing as possible. Potentially the only thing he loved more than his time fishing was persistently thinking up witty banter that would “provide” laughter and smiles to those in earshot. This was a skill largely shaped by his childhood friendships that he remained fiercely loyal to throughout his life.

While his provider theory was often mentioned in jest, he also deeply personified the essence of being a generous giver. It meant something deeply for him to be able to

give anything, he could to those around him to help them survive and live more fully, be it through sustenance (in other words fish) or the deepest form of empathy that supported people on their terms. He gave so much more in his short life to the world and people around him than most people are able to give over a century.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Loren and Carlene Postier, grandparents Lynn and Lenore Postier and Quinton and Ella Juhnke, and&nbsp;<a>uncle</a>&nbsp;Dwayne Juhnke.&nbsp;

Greg is survived by his beloved cat Hobie, fiancée Amy Billinger, sister Lori (Matt) Elwonger, uncle Lowel (Jackie) Postier, aunt Norma Juhnke, and cousins Jesse Postier, Amanda Postier, Darin (Cassie) Juhnke, and Colette (Travis) Terrel.

Greg's passing has left a profound emptiness in the hearts of his many friends, who remember his warmth, kindness, helpfulness, humor, and unwavering friendship. His adventurous spirit, dedication to his profession, and love for family and friends will live on in the stories and memories shared by all who had the privilege of knowing him.&nbsp;May the heart-warming and amusing stories he “provided” us all continue to bring laughter and comfort to all those who knew him.

A celebration of life will be held on Friday, May 24, 2024, at 2:00 PM Rock Hills Church, Manhattan, KS with visitation to follow the service.&nbsp;Formal Attire not required (he would hate that unless that’s how he saw you regularly). If you have any pictures or stories you would like to share with the family, there will be an opportunity to share at the service.

Memorial Donations can be made to Flint Hills Foster Teen Camps online (fhftc.org) or by mail to Postier Chiropractic,&nbsp;809 N 3rd St #300, Manhattan, KS 66502.

The Yorgensen-Meloan-Londeen Funeral Home, 1616 Poyntz Avenue, Manhattan, Kansas 66502, is assisting the family with service arrangements.&nbsp; Online condolences may be left for the family through the funeral home website at&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ymlfuneralhome.com/" target="_blank">www.ymlfuneralhome.com</a>

Justin D. Dean

Marvin D. McDaniel July 22, 1932 ~ May 10, 2024

Marvin D. McDaniel, age 91, of Sarasota, FL, passed away on Friday, May 10, 2024, at Sarasota Memorial Hospital, Sarasota, FL. &nbsp;He was born on July 22, 1932, in Concordia, Kansas, to Marvin &amp; Margaret (Sterling) McDaniel.

He graduated from Concordia High School in 1950. After serving in the Navy, he earned a BS in Business Administration from Fort Hays Kansas State College in 1959.

Marvin served active duty in the US Navy for 4 years, from 1952-1956, as a Yeoman 2nd class (YN2). He served in the Special Weapons Unit, Pacific, Detachment ONE, NAS, Moffett Field and San Diego, California. He earned the National Defense Service Medal and the Good Conduct Medal. He was honorably discharged.

Marvin worked for Standard Oil of Indiana / Amoco Oil as a Petroleum Auditor. His job took him around the globe from 1959-1989 to Wyoming, New York, and many countries including Argentina, Venezuela, Trinidad &amp; Tobago, Liberia, Spain, Iran, Bermuda. While in Trinidad &amp; Tobago, he would go deep sea fishing and attend Carnival in costume. After 30 years, he retired in 1989 to Sarasota, FL, where he spent his time enjoying “God’s Country”. As a creature of habit, every single morning he would read his newspaper, in order, and fold it right back up the way it was delivered. For fun, he would visit local casinos where he would get caught up in the sounds and anticipation of winning with each spin on the slot machines.&nbsp;

Marvin enjoyed doing crossword puzzles, watching Hallmark movies as well as KU basketball, Tampa Bay Rays and Buccaneers. He was a voracious reader, so much so that he has 17 bookcases in his house busting at the seams with novels stacked on top of them and every shelf overflowing! After retiring to Sarasota, he enjoyed going to “work” everyday speed-walking 5 miles up and down Siesta Key Beach, then relaxing and enjoying his lunch under his umbrella. He’d go for a swim determined to go beyond the bouys and float on his back. He was a “meat and potatoes” man and always took delight in eating his favorite black walnut ice cream! He enjoyed blasting classical music on his stereo so he could listen to the individual instruments, like the drums and cymbals. Some of his favorite musical artists he listened to include Andy Williams (“Where Do I Begin”), Matt Monro (“On Days Like These”), Herb Alpert, Elvis, Tony Bennett, and Frank Sinatra.&nbsp;

Family was always important to him. He and his family would go back to Concordia often for holidays with extended family. Pinochle games were a way family bonded at these get-togethers. He would spend months away from his own home each year, staying and visiting with family members in their homes, and he was always welcomed.

 </figure>Marvin D. McDaniel July 22, 1932 ~ May 10, 2024 Marvin D. McDaniel, age 91, of Sarasota, FL, passed away on Friday, May 10, 2024, at Sarasota Memorial Hospital, Sarasota, FL. &nbsp;He was born on July 22, 1932, in Concordia, Kansas, to Marvin &amp; Margaret (Sterling) McDaniel.He graduated from Concordia High School in 1950. After serving in the Navy, he earned a BS in Business Administration from Fort Hays Kansas State College in 1959.Marvin served active duty in the US Navy for 4 years, from 1952-1956, as a Yeoman 2nd class (YN2). He served in the Special Weapons Unit, Pacific, Detachment ONE, NAS, Moffett Field and San Diego, California. He earned the National Defense Service Medal and the Good Conduct Medal. He was honorably discharged.Marvin worked for Standard Oil of Indiana / Amoco Oil as a Petroleum Auditor. His job took him around the globe from 1959-1989 to Wyoming, New York, and many countries including Argentina, Venezuela, Trinidad &amp; Tobago, Liberia, Spain, Iran, Bermuda. While in Trinidad &amp; Tobago, he would go deep sea fishing and attend Carnival in costume. After 30 years, he retired in 1989 to Sarasota, FL, where he spent his time enjoying “God’s Country”. As a creature of habit, every single morning he would read his newspaper, in order, and fold it right back up the way it was delivered. For fun, he would visit local casinos where he would get caught up in the sounds and anticipation of winning with each spin on the slot machines.&nbsp;Marvin enjoyed doing crossword puzzles, watching Hallmark movies as well as KU basketball, Tampa Bay Rays and Buccaneers. He was a voracious reader, so much so that he has 17 bookcases in his house busting at the seams with novels stacked on top of them and every shelf overflowing! After retiring to Sarasota, he enjoyed going to “work” everyday speed-walking 5 miles up and down Siesta Key Beach, then relaxing and enjoying his lunch under his umbrella. He’d go for a swim determined to go beyond the bouys and float on his back. He was a “meat and potatoes” man and always took delight in eating his favorite black walnut ice cream! He enjoyed blasting classical music on his stereo so he could listen to the individual instruments, like the drums and cymbals. Some of his favorite musical artists he listened to include Andy Williams (“Where Do I Begin”), Matt Monro (“On Days Like These”), Herb Alpert, Elvis, Tony Bennett, and Frank Sinatra.&nbsp;Family was always important to him. He and his family would go back to Concordia often for holidays with extended family. Pinochle games were a way family bonded at these get-togethers. He would spend months away from his own home each year, staying and visiting with family members in their homes, and he was always welcomed.He is survived by his sons, Ali McDaniel (Christine), Sarasota, FL, and Reza McDaniel (Laura), Naperville, IL.

Charles W. Meisinger

Evelyn Ann (Voth) Penner September 11, 1931 ~ May 8, 2024

Evelyn Ann (Voth) Penner was born to John and Linda (Graber) Voth on September 11, 1931 in Moundridge, Kansas. She was the first of 15 children born in the Voth family.

Along with her siblings, Evelyn lived on the family farm; as a part of the family, each family member had a part to play. Evie’s most-remembered daily responsibilities were milking the cows and peeling and cooking potatoes. In the summertime, she helped her mother with the garden, learning to can and preserve the garden produce. She also learned to embroider and cross-stitch tea towels and to sew clothing for her siblings on a treadle sewing machine. When there was a surplus of milk from the cows, she helped make cheese. The days when her siblings were born were especially exciting; her grandmother would come to help with their births since most of Evie’s siblings were born at home. Evie had the privilege of naming her little sister Lois; name suggestions were picked out of a hat, and Evie’s submission was selected! A sad day for her family came when her youngest brother Glen drowned at Pete’s Puddle.

Church played an important role in Evie’s life. After accepting Jesus Christ as her Savior, she was baptized by Rev. P. P. Wedel and joined the First Mennonite Church of Christian in Moundridge.

Evie’s early education began in a one-room school and included Plainview, Meridian, Moundridge Grade School, and then Moundridge Jr. High. She graduated from Moundridge High School in 1949. She went on to attend Bethel College in North Newton, Kansas in the Elementary Education program. During her two years there, she earned her teaching certificate. Evie also spent a summer in MCC voluntary service in London, Ontario, Canada, caring for mentally ill patients. During that summer, she learned a lot and made lifelong friendships. She also attended Goshen College in Indiana to renew her teaching certificate.

Evelyn’s first teaching job was at Plum Grove in rural Whitewater; she had 12 students. Carl and Elise Claassen opened their home to this new single teacher, and Evie had fond memories of her time living with them. She also attended church with them at Emmaus Mennonite Church; it was there that a young man named Walter Penner showed an interest in her. Walter and Evelyn were married on August 25, 1953 and made their home on a farm in rural Whitewater.

After working on the farm for a year, Walter received his draft papers. The couple moved to Kansas City so Walter could spend the next two years of alternative service at the University of Kansas Medical Center. Unfortunately, he contracted polio in Kansas City and became very ill, spending many weeks in the hospital. Thankfully, he recovered, but post-polio symptoms would plague him for the rest of his life. During this time, Evie taught 33 second graders in Emerson Elementary until their first child Kenneth was born. After they moved back to the farm near Whitewater, Carol, Bruce, and Mark joined the family.

Evie spent her years raising her children, tending a huge garden and preserving her produce, cooking, hosting many large family gatherings, and serving at church. She taught children in Sunday School for a while, was in charge of the picture library for many years, and helped with Willing Workers for even more years.

The most memorable trip Walter and Evelyn ever took was to England and Germany. Mark was working in England, and they wanted to see his work. They visited several homes there and enjoyed quintessential English tea with milk and sugar. Mark accompanied them as they traveled on to visit Walter’s relatives in Germany.

When Bruce got married in 1988 and took over the family farm, Evelyn and Walter moved to a nearby farmhouse. They spent the rest of their years in that house. A few months after they celebrated their 65th&nbsp;wedding anniversary, Walter died of pancreatic cancer in 2018. Evelyn chose to stay in the farmhouse; she was grateful that she could continue to drive and garden and live life independently until the day her heart stopped. She went to heaven at the age of 92.

Evelyn was preceded in death by her parents; sisters Alta Johnson and Ruth Kiser; brothers Wilbur, James, and Glen Voth; sister-in-law Sandy Voth; brother-in-law Melvin Johnson; and granddaughter Mikayla Penner. She is survived by sons Kenneth (and Jeanne), Bruce (and Enid) of Whitewater, KS and Mark (and Shabnam) Penner of Central Asia; a daughter Carol (and Carlton) Harris of Eden Prairie, MN; sisters Waneta (and Eugene) Goering of Moundridge, KS and Lois (and Lee) Hunsicker of Telford, PA; brothers Curt of Charleston, WV, Karl (and Luanna) of Hesston, KS, Harry (and Cathy) of Loveland, CO, Myron of Hesston, KS, Larry (and Teresa) of Boyertown, PA, Stan of Hesston, KS, and Verne (and Janet) Voth of Hesston, KS; sisters-in-law Hazel Voth of Moundridge, KS and Barb Voth of Telford, PA; brother-in-law Merle Kiser of Rockingham, VA; 11 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren; Walter’s brothers and sister and spouses; and many other family members. She will be missed by all of us!

There will be a visitation from 6 to 8 PM on Wednesday, May 22 at Emmaus Church in rural Whitewater. Interment will be at 9:30 AM on Thursday, May 23 at the old Emmaus cemetery, followed by the memorial service at 10:30 AM at Emmaus.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that memorial gifts be made to Berean Academy (building fund), or Emmaus Church (for Mark Penner ministry) in care of Lamb Funeral Home, 120 S. Main, Whitewater, KS 67154.

Darlene L. Pargman January 2, 1939 ~ May 13, 2024

Darlene Pargman, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on May 13, 2024, at the age of 85. She was surrounded by her loving family as she transitioned into eternal peace.

Darlene was born on January 2, 1939, in Burlingame, Kansas, to Ansel Watson and Iva Seaman.
