Obituary for Eula Elisabeth Oxandale | Ryan Mortuary

December 28, 1930 ~ August 4, 2022 (age 91)

Eula Elisabeth Oxandale, 91, passed away August 4, 2022, in Salina, Kansas. Eula was born December 28, 1930, in Sabetha, KS. She was the first of two children born to Howard and Theda Bixby.

She married Warren Oxandale October 23, 1948, together they raised four children on a farm south of Wetmore, Kansas.

Eula worked for many years as the secretary for the Wetmore Schools. Secretary was her title, but she was much more than that to everyone there. She was active in the American Legion, 4-H and the Methodist Church. She was blessed with a beautiful voice and was asked to sing for many weddings, funerals, and other special occasions.

Eula moved to Salina, Kansas in 1996 to be closer to two of her children and grandchildren. She worked part time for Jostens and did volunteer work for Salina Regional Health Center. She thoroughly enjoyed visiting schools with Jostens and interacting with all the students.

Eula is preceded in death by her parents Howard and Theda Bixby; her husband Warren; and oldest son Timothy Oxandale.

Eula was cherished and will be so missed by her family. Survivors include daughter Marcia Troutfetter (George) of Salina; two sons, Brian Oxandale (Kim) Salina, Brad Oxandale (Sherry) Kearney, MO; one brother, Robert (Penny) Bixby, AZ; twelve grandchildren, and ten great-grandchildren.

Eula requested her family gather and celebrate her life privately. There will be no public services.

In addition to being a devoted mother to four children, Eula will also be remembered by her distinct ability to connect with people, learning about their family and friends, then connecting them to people that she knew as well. She was well versed in her genealogy, as well as others.
