Corbett Van “Corky” Cundiff passed away June 2, 2022 at a local healthcare facility. Born in Bolckow, Missouri February 10, 1928, he was the youngest of five children and the only son of Corbett and Mary (Van Meter) Cundiff.

He is preceded in death by his parents; wife Virginia Ann (Jenkins) Cundiff; daughter Patricia Cundiff Benitz; sisters: Rheta Guthery, Gertrude Jones, Vivian Larson and Ava Lee Estes.

Corky married the love of his life, Virginia Ann Jenkins, on Good Friday, April 7, 1950 at Savannah Avenue Baptist Church. They had been married 71 Years at the time of his death. 

He is survived by a son, Rodney (Deborah) Cundiff; former son-in-law Wesley (Debbie) Benitz; grandchildren Brandon (Angie) Benitz, Jennifer (Lucas Gray) Benitz, Tyler (Kylee) Cundiff; step-grandchildren Scott (Mendi) Adams and Brent (Christine) Adams; great-grandchildren Connor Cundiff and Kennedy Cundiff; step-great-grandchildren Haden McDonald, Corbin McDonald, Sydney Adams and Brilynn Estes; a nephew and four nieces.

Corky graduated from Lafayette High School, class of 1946. Immediately upon graduation, he with seven other classmates enlisted in the Army. After basic training, they were deployed to Korea from 1946 to 1947. Returning to the States with an Honorable Discharge, Corky was selected for the Missouri State Highway Patrol Academy in 1950.

After graduating from the Academy in 1951, he spent the next 35 years with Troop H in Saint Joseph, retiring in 1986 with the rank of Sargent. During his career, he was assigned to numerous security details: The Missouri Pavilion at the 1964 World’s Fair in New York; bodyguard to Betty Ford at the Republican Convention in Kansas City; Honor Guard for the funeral of Governor John Dalton.

Upon retirement, Corky and Gin spent their summers at their lakefront house in Minnesota. Corky loved to fish for crappie and walleye there and to hunt for deer and turkey back in Missouri. He once said that being out in Nature made him feel closer to God, and hunting made him feel closer to his ancestors who had to live off the land.

Corky was a long-time member and deacon at Savannah Avenue Baptist Church, and more recently a member of First Baptist Church, Savannah, MO. He was a fifty-year member of Brotherhood Lodge #269 and a member of the American Legion Post of Savannah, MO.

Born in Dekalb, Mississippi on May 14, 1925, the only child of Mercer L. Gewin and Lillian L. (Jones) Gewin, passed away at the hospital on May 29, 2022.

Reith enlisted in the US Coast Guard during the early years of WWII. He served as Petty Officer 2nd Class working as a Radio Technician. After the war, he attended Southwestern at Memphis, Tennessee. There he met the love of his life, Mary Catherine Hurt, in the college choir. After graduation, he attended Louisville Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. He and Cathy married in Little Rock, Arkansas on July 11, 1951 just prior to his graduation from seminary. He served as pastor to several small churches in Mississippi and Kentucky after receiving his Master of Divinity.

He and Cathy relocated to Pleasant Hill, Missouri, where Reith served as pastor of the First Presbyterian Church for several years. During his pastorate, Cathy gave birth to their only child, Ian Mark Gewin. In 1960, he, Cathy and Ian moved to St. Joseph, Missouri where he served as pastor at 2nd Presbyterian Church for 30 years. During that time, he and his dear friend, Dr. John Watson, attended McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago where he earned his Doctor of Ministry in 1982. He rejoiced at the birth of his two grandchildren, Shawnna Marie (Gewin) Kroeger and Joseph Ian Gewin. They were baptized by their grandfather into the Presbyterian Church. His time in St. Joseph was his favorite time in life. His love for his congregation was unmatched. Shortly after retirement, he received the honor of Pastor Emeritus.

After the death of his parents, he and Cathy returned to St. Joseph to be near family. He served as interim pastor for First Presbyterian Church in Hiawatha, Kansas.

In 2002, a terrible car accident took the life of his wife, Cathy and left Reith near death.

Born in Dekalb, Mississippi on May 14, 1925, the only child of Mercer L. Gewin and Lillian L. (Jones) Gewin, passed away at the hospital on May 29, 2022. Reith enlisted in the US Coast Guard during the early years of WWII. He served as Petty Officer 2nd Class working as a Radio Technician. After the war, he attended Southwestern at Memphis, Tennessee. There he met the love of his life, Mary Catherine Hurt, in the college choir. After graduation, he attended Louisville Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. He and Cathy married in Little Rock, Arkansas on July 11, 1951 just prior to his graduation from seminary. He served as pastor to several small churches in Mississippi and Kentucky after receiving his Master of Divinity. He and Cathy relocated to Pleasant Hill, Missouri, where Reith served as pastor of the First Presbyterian Church for several years. During his pastorate, Cathy gave birth to their only child, Ian Mark Gewin. In 1960, he, Cathy and Ian moved to St. Joseph, Missouri where he served as pastor at 2nd Presbyterian Church for 30 years. During that time, he and his dear friend, Dr. John Watson, attended McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago where he earned his Doctor of Ministry in 1982. He rejoiced at the birth of his two grandchildren, Shawnna Marie (Gewin) Kroeger and Joseph Ian Gewin. They were baptized by their grandfather into the Presbyterian Church. His time in St. Joseph was his favorite time in life. His love for his congregation was unmatched. Shortly after retirement, he received the honor of Pastor Emeritus. Reith and Cathy relocated to Toomsuba, Mississippi to care for his aging parents. While there he served as pastor for the Presbyterian Church of Toomsuba. After the death of his parents, he and Cathy returned to St. Joseph to be near family. He served as interim pastor for First Presbyterian Church in Hiawatha, Kansas. In 2002, a terrible car accident took the life of his wife, Cathy and left Reith near death. After 9 months of hospitalization/rehabilitation he returned to his home where he lived for the next 20 years. Those 20 years were quite active for Reith. He performed wedding ceremonies for both of his grandchildren. He enjoyed the birth of four great-grandchildren that he adored. During that time, he also conducted bible studies at his home and at Hope United Church of Christ in Cosby, Missouri, where he lead the adult Sunday School Class. He often said it was his reason to keep going. His favorite activity in his last years was attending what he affectionately called “Old Goats Club”. A group of retired pastors and friends that met for breakfast each Friday. Reith lived his life in love and service. He loved his God, his family and his fellowman. He had great passion for music, art and humor. He will be missed by many. Reith was preceded in death by his wife, Mary Catherine Gewin.
