Robert “Bob” Harlan Gilbert passed away on September 27, 2020, at the 
Redbud Village Nursing Home in Plainville, KS, at the age of 84. He was 
born on March 12, 1936 in Plainville to Harlan and Doris (Phillips) 
Gilbert. He married Joan “Jody” Maxine Waterman on February 15, 1958 in 
Plainville. They were blessed with 3 children: Brad, Melane, and 
Michele.


Bob attended school in Plainville and graduated from Plainville High
 School with the class of 1954. He then attended four years at Fort Hays
 State College, graduating in 1965 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business.
 Bob worked for the State of Kansas as an Income Maintenance Supervisor,
 Area Supervisor, and Office Manager of Hill City SRS. He retired in 
1998 after working 30 plus years for the State of Kansas. 


Bob was the epitome of a faithful servant. His Catholic faith was 
paramount in his life and he served as a lector &amp; lay minister for 
St. Ann’s Church, Zurich until his health declined. He spent his working
 years helping those less fortunate finding resources to better their 
lives and their families’ lives. He was an active member of the Palco 
Lions club volunteering many hours doing community projects. He also 
served on the Palco school board for several years. In his younger years
 he played minor league baseball for a farm team for the Philadelphia 
Phillies (Van Johnson) out of Great Bend; but once he got older he 
settled for any televised sport – especially KU Basketball, Royals 
Baseball, and Kansas City Chiefs or being outside fishing or hunting.


Bob was a man of few words, quiet by nature, and had an extreme love
 for his wife and family - especially his grandkids. As his health began
 to fail, he still managed to attend many of his grandkids’ sporting 
events with the help of his never-failing wife Jody. 


It has been said, “kindness is like a seed that when cultivated will
 continue to grow”.  Bob was a man who loved his Lord, Jesus Christ, and
 passed that love on to his family so it would continue to grow and be 
nurtured in their lives. He tended to the hearts and souls of all who 
knew him and made a legacy that will continue to grow for eternity in 
the lives of his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and all 
who knew him.


He is survived by his children, Brad Gilbert and wife Diane of S. 
Hutchinson, KS, Melane Gilbert of Great Bend, KS, and Michele Hixon and 
husband Troy of Plainville; siblings, Harry (Mary) Gilbert of Houston, 
TX, Dennis (Cindy) Gilbert of Neodesha, KS, Anita (Doug) Wilson of 
Lyles, TN, and Chris Gilbert of Chanute, KS; three grandchildren, Taylor
 (Kyle) David of Wichita, KS, Nick (Jordan) Hixon of Wichita, and 
Samantha (Brodie) Pfannenstiel of Plainville, KS; and four 
great-grandchildren, Finn, Wesley, &amp; Duke Pfannenstiel, and Brenna 
David. 


Bob is preceded in death by his wife, Jody Gilbert; sister Pat Bogard; brother Carl Gilbert; and brother-in-law Jim Bogard. 


A Private Family Mass of Christian Burial will be held. There will be no public visitation.


Memorials are suggested to the Sacred Heart School or Sacred Heart 
Catholic Church and may be sent in care of Plumer-Overlease Funeral 
Home, 320 SW 2nd, Plainville, KS  67663.

Faye Ellen Anderson, age 87, died on September 25, 2020 at Garden Valley Retirement Village in Garden City, KS. She was preceded in death by her parents, brother Ben, husband Carol (Andy) N. Anderson, and earlier this year by her sons Nils and Jerry. She is survived locally by her daughter Kristin and grandson Zachary, sons Mark Anderson (wife Susan) of Bellevue, WA and Charles Anderson of Naples, FL, sister Lou Hoover (husband Rod) of Topeka, KS, and grandsons Matthew (San Francisco), Christopher, and Grant (Chicago). 

Faye Ellen was born on July 12, 1933 in Natoma, KS to Louis Beisner and Lila Hankins Beisner.  She met husband Andy there, where he was directing high school band and vocal music and coaching football. They married on May 20, 1953 and were together for 41 years.  In Natoma, she worked with her mother, the editor of the Natoma-Luray Independent newspaper. She later lived in Effingham and Russell, where she was activities secretary at the high school.  She moved to Garden City in 1970, where Andy taught vocal music at Garden City Community College and Faye Ellen worked, first in the Santa Fe Trail Council, BSA office and then as window clerk until her retirement with the United States Postal Service.  

 Faye Ellen was the ultimate Mother and beloved Grandmother - steady, calm, resilient, positive, patient, curious, smart, loving, and generous. She was a member of the First United Methodist Church, Finney County Senior Center, Order of the Eastern Star, church circles, and the Garden City Civic Choral Union.  Favorite family activities were playing cards and games and working puzzles together. She was a fierce bridge player, playing weekly with dear friends. She enjoyed riding bikes with Zachary and tending her garden. 

Faye Ellen remained the active, loving caregiver of her household into 2020, seeing her special son Nils safely into God’s hands.  She cared deeply for those facing challenges in life. Faye Ellen knew that, with the Covid-19 pandemic, the still postponed memorial service for Nils and then unexpectedly, heartbreakingly Jerry, too, would probably, in the end, include her as well. She can now rest in peace and join Nils, Jerry, Andy, and others in Heaven. 

Memorial services will be held at a later date. Memorial gifts are suggested in lieu of flowers to  Team Elanor, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, 400 S Colorado Blvd Ste 840, Denver, CO  80246, in honor of her grand-niece Elanor, daughter of Clarissa Hoover of Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Memorial services will be announced at a later date by Price &amp; Sons Funeral Home of Garden City.

Iona (Goetz) Selensky, age 75, of Quinter, KS, passed away Saturday, September 26, 2020, at Gove County Medical Center Long Term Care, Quinter. She was born July 10, 1945, to Michael and Catherine (Depperschmidt) Goetz at the family home in Park, KS.

Iona graduated from Park High School in 1963. She was married to her high school sweetheart, Ronald Selensky, on January 23, 1965, in Park. They enjoyed 50 years of marriage until Ron's passing in 2015. She was an extremely hard worker and could do everything. Wherever help was needed, she was there to "fill in the cracks".&nbsp; She was a member of the Sacred Heart Altar Society and enjoyed serving funerals and church events. With many hours spent following Ron and the kid's activities, Iona never knew a stranger. In 1984, she suffered a brain tumor. After recovering, she still had it in her heart and mind that she could do anything, but her body limited her. That was a big adjustment for an active wife and mother. Iona loved having family gatherings and cherished her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchild. Iona was a respected and loved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend to many.

Survivors of Iona include her sons Curtis (Teresa) Selensky of Grainfield, KS, and Kelly (Jynette) Selensky of Park; daughters Lynn (Chris) Schrader of Benkelman, NE, and Julie (Tim) Hall of Dodge City, KS; grandchildren Gavin, Kendrik, and Samuel Selensky, Carter, and Breckyn Selensky, Kasha Davis, Kamie Crawford, Tallan Schrader, Chelsie and Nicole Hall, Blake, Carson, Kelsey and Cole Selensky; great-grandchild Skylar Davis; daughter-in-law Cassie (Selensky) Shirley; brother Vern Goetz of Dodge City; and sisters Louise Feldt of Dodge City and Twila Logsdon of Hays, KS.

Iona was preceded in death by both parents; her husband; son Greg Selensky; and infant brother Delmar Goetz.

Memorial contributions are suggested to Masses and Gove County Medical Center Long Term Care. Donations made to the organizations may be sent to Schmitt Funeral Home, 901 Main St. Quinter, KS 67752.

On September 24, 2020, Orville “Bert” Lerew passed away at the age of 
98. Born on March 18, 1922 to Bert and Marie (Price) Lerew, Orville was a
 long-time resident of Faulkton, SD but had recently moved to Kansas to 
be closer to family. 


On November 12, 1946 Bert married the love of his life, Inez Rose 
Peterson. A loving and understanding father, Bert and Inez raised two 
daughters, Renee and Laurel. During this time, he served as a rural mail
 carrier, serving for thirty years.


An avid outdoorsman, Bert capitalized on every opportunity to spend 
time fishing with his grandchildren, walking his traplines, and 
hunting/guiding family and friends. Bert was always thrilled to mentor 
anyone wanting to learn about the outdoors. One of the original 
conservationists, Bert was a Charter member and past president of the 
South Dakota Trappers Association. He was passionate about wildlife and 
never missed an opportunity to share his vast knowledge, even serving as
 a lobbyist for the SDTA in the Senate. Continuing his outdoor 
lifestyle, Bert was an active member of the AQHA, raising quarter horses
 for many years, and was an Arctic Cat snowmobile dealer.


After graduating Cresbard High School in 1940, Bert was drafted in 
1942 into the U.S.  Army as a member of the 7th Armored Division of the 
87th Cavalry, AKA the “Ghost Division.” During his service in WWII he 
advanced rapidly to the rank of Staff Sergeant and Platoon Leader.  He 
served in many theatres, earning the Bronze Star, Medal of Verdun, 
Purple Heart with an Oak Leaf Cluster, WWII Liberty Medal, and the 
European Theatre of Operations Ribbon with four Battle Stars. In 2019 
Bert was awarded the French Legion of Honor medal, France’s highest 
distinction. After his military service, Bert became a member of the 
Disabled Veterans of America and the American Legion, where he was a 
75-year member.


Bert is preceded in death by his parents, wife Inez, sisters Jane 
Lerew, Rose Maurer, Edna Mae Lerew, and LaVerne Barton; and one brother,
 Ted Lerew. He is survived by his brothers Vernon Lerew and Wilber 
Lerew, his daughter Renee and husband Rick Lewis of Selden, KS; and 
adopted daughter Laurel. He has three grandchildren: Troy Ochsner, of 
Selden, KS; Robynn and husband Chris Wessel, of Selden, KS; and 
Christopher Lewis, of Trenton, NE; seven great-grandchildren, and 
numerous friends and extended family. To know him was to love him and he
 made friends all over the country.


Services will be at a later date. Memorials may be sent to the 
Faulkton American Legion Post #102 or the South Dakota Trappers 
Association in care of Pauls Funeral Home, 121 N Penn Ave, Oberlin, KS 
67749. Condolences may be left at www.paulsfh.

Jean 
Neaderhiser, 92, Salina, was born November 20, 1927 in Salina to Arthur 
and Edith (Reigle) Quinn, died September 26, 2020 at Minneapolis Health 
and Rehab. She moved to the family farm west of Bennington in 1929, 
graduated from Bennington, attended business school in Salina, and 
worked for a year at the Salina water department.

Jean 
married William “Bill” Neaderhiser on March 9, 1946, living in Salina 
until they moved to a farm 1 1/2 mile southeast of Benninigton in 1949. 
Farming until the later 1960s, they moved into Bennington, opening 
Memory Lane Antiques in the old lumberyard.

They grew
 many pretty flowers along the west edge of their house and business. 
Bill credited their beauty to Jean persistently snipping flowers after 
blooming.

Jean was a
 hard working, dedicated homemaker, and consistently provided well for 
her family. She made artistic crafts--woven willow wicker baskets, 
copper pictures, candles...

Jean was a
 good cook, and Bill proudly said that she always had a warm, tasty, 
well-appreciated meal waiting for him in the oven, no matter how late he
 ate supper. She made exceptional angel food cakes.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Loving to
 drive a car, Jean came close to her dream of being a cab driver, when 
she began delivering prescription drugs for Salina’s B and K Pharmacy. 
For many years, her family teasingly called her their “drug runner.”&nbsp;

Preceding
 her in death were her husband, Bill (2008); her son Stephen (2013) and 
her brother, Dr. Art Jay Quinn (August 29, 2020). Art’s obituary found 
online at Strode Funeral Home, Stillwater, Oklahoma.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Survivors:
 daughter Shirley (Don) Rytych, Geneva, NE. Grandchildren and their 
children: Jonathan Rytych and Michael, Kylee, Logan; Stephen 
Neaderhiser; Timothy Rytych and Hunter; Laura (Nathan) Kendrick and 
Moira, Trevor, Olivia; Jenna (Sam) Weaver and Daphne, Penelope, Juliet, 
Mabel.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Graveside
 services will be at 10:00 A.M., Wednesday, September 30 at the 
Bennington Cemetery.&nbsp; Memorials may be made to the Bennington Cemetery 
and mailed to Wilson Family Funeral Home, P.O. Box 166, Minneapolis, KS
