| 7667 |  | Obituary- Manbeck, Naomi I have transcribed the final obituary for Naomi R. Manbeck from the provided image. Naomi R. Manbeck Naomi R. Manbeck, age 94, of Rossville, Kansas, departed this world on Jan. 25, 2025 while surrounded by loved ones. Born on March 26, 1930 on a farm north of Waterville, Kansas to Nels and Delia Hanson, Naomi was the youngest in the family among six brothers. She was preceded in death by her parents – Nels and Delia, her husband, Keith Manbeck, along with all six of her siblings. Naomi graduated from Waterville High School in 1947 before proceeding into her professional career that included roles at Eddy & Eddy Abstract Co., in Marysville, Guarantee Abstract & Title Co., in Kansas City and Columbia Title & Trust Co. in Topeka. She married her husband of 53 years – Keith – on Sept. 13, 1953, in Waterville. Family was her top priority. She was a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother, highlighted by her son, Mike Manbeck, along with his wife, Cathy. She took immense joy and pride in being a grandmother and great grandmother. The value of grandparents was instilled in her grandchildren – Shane and Cole – through the countless experiences they enjoyed with her and Keith. They were a staple at Shane and Cole’s sporting events growing up, rarely missing any of their games. They went as far as to purchase a minivan so the entire family could travel together to their high school games. They were a second home for their grandkids, who spent nearly every morning and afternoon before and after elementary school at their house. There was nothing better than spending a night or weekend at their house. They knew they’d be spoiled. They frequently took Shane and Cole to breakfast at the Swirly Top in Rossville – where they’d gather with Keith and Naomi’s friends – and to the Sunday breakfast buffet at Golden Corral in Topeka. Thanksgivings as a family were spent at Keith and Naomi’s house; they were present every Christmas Day as well as other holidays. They even opened their doors to Shane and Cole’s friends, who were frequent visitors to their house. Those same wonderful experiences carried on to Naomi’s six great grandchildren. She would light up with happiness whenever she saw them and would beam with pride when talking to others about them. In her later years, Naomi enjoyed occasional trips to the casino with Keith. When of age, Cole began to accompany Naomi on these trips, which he greatly enjoyed. Naomi is survived by her son, Mike and his wife Cathy, Rossville; two grandsons, Shane (Becky), Rossville and Cole (Vanessa), Olathe, as well as her six great grandchildren. A visitation was held at the Rossville Methodist Church, 411 Pearl St. in Rossville on Thursday, Jan. 30th the funeral service followed the visitation. Burial followed in Rossville Cemetery. Memorial contributions in Naomi’s memory may be given to the Topeka Rescue Mission and Helping Hands Humane Society. | |

| 7674 |  | Obituary- Mann, Josephine 2 Mann Mrs. Josephine Mann died Oct. 5. Though she was born near Delia on Sept. 14, 1910, she spent all her life close to Hoyt and was a very active member of that Jackson County community. Her family remembers her with this tribute: When the shadows of eternity close around the life of a beloved member of one’s family there is a natural desire to say a last… and long… and lingering farewell. Jo was the oldest of six brothers and sisters, with a dynamic and talented mother, Katie Flynn Argo, from County Tipperary, Ireland, who claimed to be the best pitch player in Jackson County and a father, Harry Argo, with a name which is ancient, and honored, and history related in Greece. Our family moved to a farm about six miles northeast of Hoyt in 1920. Jo completed elementary school at Point Pleasant. Our father bought a pony, named Billy, for a trivial sum at a country auction. After he had ownership he was asked if he knew that horse was afraid of cars and shied at anything and everything. Dad understood then why there had been no competition in the bidding. But Billy carried Jo safely back and forth to Hoyt High School for four years. Her high school years were extremely happy. She was a good student who enjoyed the stimulus of study and classwork. She was active in sports, particularly basketball, and she participated in most of the extracurricular activities of the school. After graduating she realized a dream she had held from early childhood, to be a teacher. She taught Rock School east of Hoyt for two years, and then our home school, Point Pleasant. It was after high school graduation and during her early year of teaching that the romance between Jo and Glenn began. It culminated in a love affair lasting over half a century. Jo had an abundance of energy and ambition and drive; any project or task she undertook was carried through to completion with dedication. She had a special talent for friendship; she valued her friends highly and gave them total loyalty. Her brothers and sisters regarded her as a pillar of special strength. In her words and actions there were always healing overtones. Each of us has his or her private and cherished memories. But her heart and soul were centered in her family, with Glenn, and Dale, her much-loved daughter-in-law, Sandy, and her two grandsons, Steven and Paul. Her family was her core. A prayer is offered for her new adventure into eternity: Eternal Father, we thank you for sending this inspirational life to share our days. Jo will be sorely missed. In your goodness and mercy we ask that you embrace her, your child now, and welcome her into your heavenly kingdom. We are sending you, our very best. Mrs. Mann will be missed by many whose lives she touched. She was valedictorian of her Hoyt High School class of 1928.

| 7683 |  | Obituary- Marchbanks, Albert Albert Theo Marchbanks 11-14-1929 – 11-26-2020 Our beloved father left us behind on Thanksgiving Day as he headed off to "the big golf course in heaven." We were blessed to have a kind, gentle, devoted father who was loved by so many. As a lifetime PGA golf professional, he was known by most as simply "pro". If you met him, you would be comforted by his ease and entertained by his stories of golfing across the globe. The stories of people and how much he liked everyone-and they him- told of his character. Never an unkind word or disparaging remark. He left behind his children Greg, Shari, and Felicia and one sister, Catherine. Our father had precious grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins as well as many friends he cherished, and he will be missed. His career was service in the Air Force for twenty years and his love of being a PGA golf professional for over fifty years. Due to COVID-19 a service is not planned at this time.
