Catherine Elaine Rosenthal, 80, St Joseph, passed away peacefully Saturday, July 3, 2021, at home surrounded by her loving family.

Born in St. Joseph, she graduated from Benton High School in 1958. Not long after, she began her lifelong career at Stevens Hats, and that is where she met her husband, Robert. She retired from Stetson Hat Company in 1986, and she and Robert celebrated their 57th anniversary on June 27, 2021.

A member of Temple Adath Joseph, she was an avid bowler and book lover. She could often be found in the kitchen drinking coffee, reading and imparting her wisdom. Perhaps the best way to describe her is to share the words her family and friends have used about her in the past few days: beautiful, loving, wise, a straight shooter, easy to talk to, funny, stylish and fiercely proud, especially of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

The last few months of her life were made exponentially better by the love and care of her caregivers Sandy, Tammy and Kim. She also looked forward to visits from Sarah, Laura and Cynthia, Mosaic Hospice. They always included excellent care, good conversation and usually coffee cake.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Ruth and William Fred Cox.

Survivors include her husband, Robert, of the home; sister, Margaret St. John, Keene, NH; daughters, Maggie Ross (Chuck Slapper), Lansing, KS; and Dana Campbell (Brian), Overland Park, KS; grandchildren, Brad Staples (Kendal); Zachary Ross; Josh Campbell and Samantha Campbell; great-grandsons Clayton and Reed; and many loving family members and friends.

Farewell Services and Public Livestream 10:00 A.M. Friday, Meierhoffer Funeral Home &amp; Crematory. Interment Shaare Sholem Cemetery. The family will gather with friends 6:00 to 8:00 P.M. Thursday, Meierhoffer Funeral Home &amp; Crematory. The family kindly requests masks be worn by those who are not vaccinated. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Mosaic Life Care Hospice or the Noyes Home for Children.&nbsp;&nbsp;

William L. Edds passed away on June 28, 2021 in Topeka.

Bill was born on August 13, 1947 in Horton, KS and grew up in Hiawatha, KS. Bill was the loving husband to Mary Edds.&nbsp; Bill and Mary were high school sweethearts and they shared an incredible life together which revolved around their son, Geoffrey Edds, daughter in-law Meghan Edds and grandkids Samantha, Griffin and Gannon.

&nbsp;Bill loved and missed his parents Albert and Thelma Edds every day. Bill has one sister who he loved so much, Marjorie Schrader of Billings, MT. Bill loved his in-laws, Harlan and Betty Buehler and sister-in-law’s, Barbara Mitchel and Janet Mendez. Bill had many nieces and nephews that meant the world to him. Bill was a KU and Washburn Law graduate. Bill was an accomplished attorney.

&nbsp;He worked for the State of Kansas his entire career. After his retirement he helped so many with free legal and income tax services. Bill loved life! Sports, Music, The Beatles and Guster were his jam. Bill was a world traveler, loved to read, worked out every day and was a heck of an athlete in his day, the self-proclaimed RBI leader for his longtime ball team, Brosius and Slattery.

His softball buddies turned in to family for Bill, Mary and Geoff. So many Bill stories and memories.. Bill was known to go after a foul ball and come back to the dugout with a six-pack of Bud. True story! Rebel, life of the party, friend to all, intelligent, that was Bill. Everyone loved Bill and he loved all. We are sad to say goodbye to this man, but we find peace knowing he is now our guardian angel in heaven. This is what he was best at, taking care of his family.

There will be no funeral service so please grab your favorite beverage and raise a toast to Bill Edds.
