Bonnie Sue (Cross) Gadberry-Ingle |1944-2023|

Lola Fern Voth was born January 2, 1930 in Newton, Kansas, to Leo and Sarah (Kliewer) Voth. After a week-long stay at Sarah’s parents’ home due to a snowstorm, Leo picked up Sarah and little Lola to head out to their farm home east of Newton in the Grace Hill community where Lola spent all of her growing up years. Younger brother Arlo Lee joined the family two years later.&nbsp;

Lola attended elementary through 8th grades at the one-room Star School. Grace Hill Mennonite Church, where Lola was baptized, was the center of the farming community’s social structure. Growing up, Lola especially enjoyed time with cousins, trips to town and the cats &amp; kittens on the farm. Lola attended Bethel College Academy her first two years of high school then Whitewater High School where she graduated in 1948.

After high school, Lola attended Bethel College in North Newton where she met Gerald Lee Schmidt (aka Curly and Gerry) and graduated as a social sciences major in 1952. During Lola’s senior year, Curly did voluntary service in Washington DC. From the photos, it looks like they had a lovely, fun time when Lola visited from Kansas. &nbsp;

&nbsp;In 1952, following a June wedding in the Bethel College chapel, Lola and Curly moved to Denver. Lola took a job as a secretary in the hospital where Curly was doing 1-W service as an aide. Their time in Denver instilled a lifelong love for Colorado.&nbsp;

After two years in Denver, Curly took a teaching job at Hays High School in Hays, Kansas, where they bonded with other young teachers and couples and forged friendships that lasted a life time. Their first child Greg was born in 1955. After two years in Hays Lola and Curly moved to Wichita where Curly worked in administration in the Wichita Public Schools. &nbsp;

In Wichita, Barry joined the family in 1957, and Andrea came along in 1960. Lola kept the household running, coordinated three summer moves to Colorado (and one to Los Angeles) for Curly’s graduate studies, was active at Lorraine Avenue Mennonite Church and helped at the children’s school.&nbsp;

1967 brought big change for the family with a move to the Chicago area where Curly took a position at Northwestern University Medical School. As the kids settled into seventh, fifth and first grade in the Oak Park school system, Lola got to know new friends through the Newcomers Club, First Presbyterian Church where the family attended, and recreational tennis leagues where she and Gerry played doubles. The suburb of Oak Park provided a cozy village ambiance with the big city within 30 minutes train ride for museums and the beach on Lake Michigan, all good sites to take friends and family visiting from out-of-town.&nbsp;

Lola worked in the high school library during most of the years in Oak Park. The family enjoyed many weekends at Camp Friedenswald in southern Michigan and eventually began attending Lombard Mennonite Church. LMC rekindled Mennonite connections and nurtured significant relationships.&nbsp;

When all three kids were finished with high school, Lola and Gerry explored options for a pre-retirement move and settled on relocation to Littleton, Colorado, in 1980. Together they became business owners and operated the Stop Smoking Center. With a more flexible schedule they began extensive travels to Europe, Asia, the Caribbean, Hawaii and Alaska, Russia and many Elderhostel Learning Tours in the United States. This was in addition to many daytrips for hikes, picnics and skiing (Gerry) in Colorado.&nbsp;

In 1991 Gerry was diagnosed with ALS but their travels and activities continued including trips to see grandsons Kyle and Joel in Indiana. As Gerry’s health declined, Lola became his primary caregiver and helped navigate the construction of a new, handicapped accessible duplex in nearby Lakewood. Gerry passed away on October 3, 1997.

Without Gerry, Lola continued traveling, this time with friends, on her own or with tour companies. She added South America to her list and eventually completed 16 Elderhostels. She also began volunteering at the Denver Ten Thousand Villages store and thoroughly enjoyed the weekly coffee group at First Mennonite Church. She began reading voraciously and was especially fond of her book club group, primarily friends from First Mennonite.&nbsp;

As house maintenance became a burden, Lola moved to Kidron Bethel Village in North Newton, Kansas, to be closer to family. While living for 11 years in Independent Living, Lola enjoyed Life Enrichment at Bethel College, volunteering at the Et Cetera Shop and Shalom Mennonite Church (her new church home), joining other Shalomers for Monday coffee, trips to Indiana to help care for twin grandbabies Ben &amp; Grace, Kauffman Museum activities, walks and babysitting granddaughter Jen who lived close by. &nbsp;&nbsp;

Following moves to Assisted Living and Health Care at Kidron, Lola passed away peacefully on September 24, 2023.&nbsp;

Lola was preceded in death by her parents, husband Gerald, and brother Arlo. She is survived by children Greg (Jan) Schmidt of Berne, IN; Barry (Gretchen) Schmidt of South Jordan, UT; and Andrea (Mark) Andres of rural Newton, KS; grandchildren Kyle, Joel (Jenna), Jennifer, Ben and Grace; great-grandchildren Eden and Emersyn; sister-in-law Ann Voth; brother-in-law Clinton Schmidt.

A memorial service will be held at Shalom Mennonite Church in Newton on October 7, 2023, at 11:00 a.m. For more details and information about visitation, please consult the online obituary at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.petersonfamilyfuneralhome.com/">www.petersonfamilyfuneralhome.com</a>.

In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be designated to Bethel College, 300 East 27th Street, North Newton, KS 67117.

Lenette Bolnick – born in McPherson, KS and resided in St. Louis, MO – passed away peacefully on Sept. 23, 2023, at the age of 77. She is survived by her husband Mike to whom she was married for 56 years; two children, Doug (and his wife Molly) of O’Fallon, MO, and Deborah of Dallas TX; three grandchildren – Lilly and Max Rollins and Ben Bolnick; sister, Barbara VonFeldt (and her husband David) of Topeka, KS; niece, Jennifer Bennett (and her husband Klint and son Henry) of Kansas City, MO; nephew Brian VonFeldt (and his wife Christina and sons Colin and Aidan) of Olathe, KS; and countless friends. Lenette was preceded in death by her parents, Leonard and Doris Eaton of McPherson.

Lenette loved her family, travel, cooking and helping others. She was a cheerleader for her kids and grandkids’ accomplishments and sporting events, a home chef known for having the best lasagna recipe in town, and a person who took pride in getting things done.

Lenette graduated from McPherson High School in 1964 and attended Kansas State University, where she met Mike.

Following their marriage, they lived in Germany for several years while stationed with the U.S. Army in the late 1960s and sparked a love for travel, which continued for the rest of their lives together. In addition to exploring Europe as newlyweds, the happy couple was introduced to cruising in the 1990s and visited almost every island in the Caribbean, as well as Mexico, Canada, Alaska, Hawaii, New England and Europe with their family and friends. She also enjoyed quick getaway trips with her family around England, France, Italy, Ireland, Iceland and everywhere in the United States. One requirement for these trips was to attempt, celebrate or taste something new each time, which created forever memories and countless new food favorites.

Lenette also enjoyed giving back to her community. She volunteered with Girl Scouts, the Daughters of the American Revolution (both locally in St. Louis and at the national level), the United Methodist Church, Life Seekers and other premature birth support organizations, school PTA, and her children’s sports clubs.

A funeral service in her honor will be performed at 10 a.m., Tuesday, Oct. 3 at Glidden-Ediger- Wiggins Funeral Home, McPherson. Burial will follow at the McPherson Cemetery. A celebration of life memorial service will be announced and held later in St. Louis in December.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the Alzheimer’s Association, your favorite local youth sports club or an animal welfare organization of your preference in care of Glidden-Ediger-Wiggins Funeral Home, 222 W Euclid, McPherson, KS 67460.

William Carl Norris was born June 9, 1963, to Al and Peggy Norris in Lincoln, Nebraska. &nbsp;He attended elementary and middle school in Fargo, North Dakota and high school in Sioux City, Iowa and Walker, Minnesota. &nbsp;He did a lot of trapping, fishing, and hunting as a teen and had many fond memories of the trips he got to do with his dad (his favorite hunting trip was the one where they let the big one get away).

William attended North Dakota State University studying accounting, but worked primarily with technology and computers as he enjoyed that more. &nbsp;He was an avid gamer. &nbsp;William was a lifetime member of SASS, the Single Action Shooting Society, where his cowboy action shooting name was Riptide. &nbsp;He looked mighty handsome in a hat and duster. &nbsp;William married Rowdena in Fargo September 20, 1997. &nbsp;He enjoyed the beauty of the outdoors. &nbsp;His passion was camping with his bride, both in tents and the “Little Guy,” and some of his favorite spots were Lake Allen Henry in Texas and Prairie Dog State Park in Kansas. &nbsp;One of his favorite memories was being within inches of a mountain goat while hiking in Glacier National Park.

William had a sure confidence and faith in God. &nbsp;When he knew his brain tumors would cut his life short, he lived every day to its full capacity and most days would say, “my life is great” and even “this is the best part of my life.” &nbsp;He died too young on September 23, 2023, in Hutchinson, Kansas at age 60, leaving behind his beloved wife, Rowdena; his siblings, Larry, Ruth, Donna, and Beverly; Rowdena’s siblings, Rob, Ben, Brian, Roellen, and Brad; several nieces, nephews, cousins, co-workers, and many faithful friends, including his wonderful church family. &nbsp;Towards the end of his life, two of his favorite phrases were “it makes me laugh” (which he did a lot) and “Go with God”. &nbsp;He will be greatly missed by all who loved him!

Celebration of Life service will be 10:30 a.m. Saturday, October 7, 2023, at Elliott Chapel, with Pastors Luke Helmuth and Chris Flynn officiating. &nbsp;Friends may sign his book from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Elliott Mortuary.
