Kathryn Ann Swing, 70, of St. Joseph, passed away Friday, November 24th, 2023. Kathy was born December 17th, 1952 in Orange County, CA to Ralph and Cora Lee Bergman. She was the first of four siblings.&nbsp;

She married David Swing on November 19th, 1983, and they were married for 40 wonderful years. Kathy graduated from Central High School in 1970 and worked for St. Joseph Light and Power for 10 years before becoming a homemaker. She was a member of St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church for 40 years and later a member of Our Lady of Guadalupe. She was a devout Catholic, firmly placed in her love for Jesus, and was involved with several committees and Sunday school, including serving as an adorer at MIR House.

Kathy loved spending time and being silly with her grandchildren. They brought her tremendous joy as did she for them! She loved caring for God’s little birds in her yard and tending to her flowerbeds. Kathy also loved sewing and making quilts to share with family, friends, and those in need. Baking was another one of her many talents, especially pies. Kathy’s beloved ’55 Chevy Bel-Air was a part of her identity and recognized by many around town throughout the 32 years she got to drive it. Anyone who was blessed enough to have met or loved Kathy knew that joy and laughter followed her wherever she went, and we’ll carry that with us in our hearts.

Kathy was preceded in death by both her mother and father.

She is survived by husband David Swing, siblings Ralph Jr (Cara) Bergman and Scott (Lori) Bergman; children Robin Lynn-Godar, Rebecca Lawhon and Kale (Lindsay) Swing; grandchildren Ryan, Deonte, Lanisha, Angel, Delilah, Hunter and River; and great grandchild Roman.

Mary Kathryn Strunk, beloved daughter, sister, mother, and friend, passed away on November 24, 2023 at Two Timbers, Highland, KS, where she received compassionate care the last two and one-half years of life. Born on August 5, 1939, Mary K lived a life rich in experiences, friendships, and a profound love for the arts.

Mary K is survived by her sons, Rus Goodin of Haines, Alaska, and Jon (Alison) Goodin of Houston, Texas, and her sister and husband, Elizabeth and Tom Smith, Highland, KS. She leaves behind three grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Mary K was preceded in death by her parents, Mary and Earl Strunk, her brother Herb Strunk, and her daughter Lyn Collins.

A graduate of Highland High School in 1957, Mary K furthered her education at Penn Valley Community College in Kansas City, Missouri. She spent most of her life in the Kansas City area, holding various positions as an executive secretary. Later, she returned to Highland, where she continued her work at Nek-Cap in Hiawatha, Kansas, cultivating lasting friendships with Marilyn Siebenmorgan, Phyllis Shaefer, and Mary Korneman. Together, they formed a close-knit group known as the Sunflower Shoppers, sharing countless joyous moments.

Mary K’s last professional endeavor was at the HCC Library as the evening library aide, where she continued to make a positive impact in her community.

A woman of refined taste and unrivaled wit, Mary K had a deep love for classical music, especially Mozart, and opera. Her passion for literature was evident in her avid reading habits, and her remarkable vocabulary was a testament to her intellectual curiosity. Mary K’s love extended beyond the human realm to encompass her affection for animals, particularly her beloved kitties. During her time in hospice care, she formed a special bond with Dill, the hospice nurse's cat.

Mary Kathryn Strunk's life was a tapestry woven with love, friendship, and a genuine appreciation for the finer things in life. Her memory will forever be cherished by those who were fortunate enough to know and love her.

A graveside service to celebrate Mary K’s life will be held in the spring. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to Brown County Humane Society, Hiawatha, KS in Mary K’s honor.

Leroy C. Miller Jr., 79, St. Joseph, Missouri, passed from this world on Saturday, November 18, 2023, while holding the hands of his children, and was reunited with his wife Glenda and grandson Colt in Heaven.

He was born on December 15, 1943, to Leroy C. and Betty L. (Carpenter) Miller in St. Joseph, Missouri. Leroy was a proud graduate of Central High School class of 1962 and he attended Northwest Missouri State University on a football scholarship.

On May 11, 1963, he married his high school sweetheart, Glenda Kay Middaugh. Glenda was the love of his life. Since her passing, he always said they should have had “at least 10 or 15 more years” together. Glenda preceded him in death on February 2, 2011.

Together they had two loving children, who were his pride and joy. Leroy enjoyed volunteering to coach their athletic events as children and supported them in every aspect of their childhood and adult lives. They were both by his side as he reunited with his true love.

He dedicated 30 years to Procter &amp; Gamble as a regional sales manager until retiring in 2009. He supervised and mentored many, many people who became life-long friends. He received numerous awards for leadership and sales excellence. His career with P&amp;G was fulfilling and rewarding.

Leroy enjoyed retirement, spending his time reminiscing with his friends from high school. He was very active in his graduating class luncheons and reunions. It was said that he always knew how to work a room and he never knew a stranger. Leroy embraced a passion for the outdoors. He particularly loved camping. He spent much of his time in Branson, MO camping with family and friends. He had a great love for nature and wildlife, especially favoring buffalo and cardinals. He was an animal lover who had a special place in his heart for horses, dogs, cats, and many other fur babies. Leroy was a lifelong John Wayne and Clint Eastwood fan. He spent his free time watching his favorite Westerns and his all-time favorite, ‘Jerimiah Johnson.’ He also enjoyed spending time woodworking.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his beloved wife of 47 years, Glenda Kay, his precious grandson, Colt Daniel Lee Jordan, his dog, Boone, who he referred to as “his pard,” and his cat, Boo.

Survivors include his children, Tyron Miller (Judy) and Amelia Zane Anne Jordan (Daniel); cherished grandchildren, MyKayla Miller and Stephan Jordan; sister, Cheryl Jordan (Larry) and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and his long-term companion, Linda Stiles of Leavenworth, Ks.

Leroy’s children would like to extend their gratitude to the wonderful staff at Living Community for their dedication and care during Leroy’s final journey. He was described by staff as “a shining light who brought laughter and joy to those around him.”
