David W. Barnes Funeral Home of Coffeyville is in charge of arrangements.

On the 29th of November 1935, Drue Wood hitched his best team to the front of his car and towed his laboring wife, V. Ferne (Fiensy), through nearly impassable roads and flooded creeks to the home of his sister, Georgie, where he paid the price of “one fat calf” for the successful birth of his daughter and his pride and joy, Rena Jolene Wood. Born a child of the Depression era, Jolene exuded grit, determination, strength, and independence in a small frame and would have already loathed this obituary.

Raised an only child across from her best friend, Barbara Ann Benning, Jolene attended Snow Creek Elementary for her early years. She later moved to California then returned roughly a year later to live at the home her parents would stay in for the rest of their lives, farming, raising dairy cattle, horses, and chickens, and scraping out a hard earned living. Wanting to continue with her friends at Snow Creek, she opted to ride a horse to school daily to cover the distance. She later attended and graduated from Labette County High School and went on to Kansas State University at Manhattan. After completing her required coursework, she transferred to Kansas State Teaching College at Pittsburg where she earned her teaching credentials in 1956.

All the while she was being courted by one dashing suitor, Ray Flaharty, who would go on to become the love of her life. The two married on the 29th of June 1956 at Holy Name Catholic Church in Coffeyville, Kansas. Some may remember this as one of the hottest years to ever bless Southeast Kansas while others may recall the digging of many a pond dam; Jolene told of her candles melting in the church without being lit but she still stunned in a gorgeous, layered, and long sleeved lace gown. This gown made repeat appearances at her 25th and 50th wedding anniversary parties. The happy couple set out on an exciting 6 week honeymoon that followed his wrestling contract from Fargo, N.D. south until the wedding of his older brother, Richard.

They made their home in Wichita, KS for 12 years where they played tennis together and she worked as a primary grades teacher until the birth of their first child, Michaela Ann in 1959. Grant Raymond (1961), Shaun Wood (1963), and Vanessa Nanette (1965) all followed to round out the family.

From 1968-2002, the family made their home in Westminster, Colorado (near Denver) where Jolene completed the raising of their 4 children, immersed herself in volunteering with St. Anthony’s hospital gift shop and Ministry to the Sick and Homebound, and working as a lector and Eucharistic Minister within the Masses at St. Mark’s.  As her children began graduating from high school, Jo decided to pursue a 4 year degree in Accounting from Metro State at the Front Range campus. She also started and ran “Flaharty Travel Agency” with Mickey and Vanessa where they enjoyed reading the paper and eating Mountain Man Nuts.

After closing the travel agency, her adventurous spirit lead her to embody the traits she valued most: a devoted family matriarch visiting for every birthday or holiday, a devout Catholic visiting historic religious sites around the World including a pilgrimage to the Holy Land and the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio, and being a capable and independent World traveler. She solo visited places like Tanzania for safari, South Africa, much of South America, Australia where she hiked Ayers rock, and the pyramids of Egypt. She rode camels and elephants and made her way without blinking an eye to what others may think. She also maintained her health and fitness as an avid jogger and speed walker including roughly 10 years of solo participation in the high altitude Bolder Boulder 10k each Memorial Day weekend.

Jolene is survived by 6 phenomenal grandchildren that brought her immense joy and happiness (and may have lightened her already gray hair a few shades): Bobi Jo, Tara, Erin, Lance, Paddrick, and Raeleigh. She also welcomed, adored, and cared for her 12 wonderful great grandchildren: Kyndra, Lillie, Daymien, Sloan, Gage, Declan, Vivvy, Conner, Teagan, Fiona, Lucy, and Killian. She doted on many of them as her own and swore they kept her young well into her 80’s. She is preceded in death by her husband of nearly 60 years, Ray; parents, Drue and Ferne; and her infant siblings Baby Wood (1937) and Michael D. Wood (1951).

Friends may call on Thursday from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm at David W. Barnes Funeral Home in Coffeyville.

A Rosary Vigil service will be held at 7:00 pm on Thursday the 11th of April 2024 at Holy Name Catholic Church.

The Mass of Christian Burial will be at 11:00 am on Friday the 12th of April 2024 at Holy Name Catholic Church with Father James Schibi officiating. Burial will follow in Calvary Cemetery.

The family will receive friends following the burial for a luncheon at Holy Name Catholic School Gym from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm.

Elizabeth June Slape, age 65, passed away peacefully with her family and her beloved dog, Roscoe at her side at the Neodesha Care & Rehab Center in Neodesha, Kansas.

Liz was born on February 20, 1959, in Coffeyville, Kansas, to Walter W. and Mary Ellen (Baker) Cook. She shared her birthday with her brothers, Tony and Walter, who were born on the same day of different years, and it just so happened that was also her parents’ anniversary, making it an extra special day.

In 1985 she was united in marriage to Bill L. Slape. From that union two children were born, Brandon and Amber.  The couple later divorced in 1999 but remained close friends throughout their lives.

Liz was not only an individual of immense warmth and generosity but also a devoted mother, grandmother, sister, and caregiver. She had a profound love for her family, which was the core of her existence. Her life was a testament to the power of love and care, for she made it her mission to help and take care of others.

Liz's loving spirit shone brilliantly in her professional life as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). She spent many fulfilling years providing home healthcare and working for Medicalodge and Windsor Place in Coffeyville, Kansas, where her generous and compassionate nature was appreciated by both her colleagues and the patients she cared for. Liz was a beacon of light in her line of work, always ready to lend a helping hand, her heart filled with a boundless love for humanity.

Liz's passion extended beyond her professional life. She had a deep love for nature, often spending her free time fishing and horse riding. She loved collecting dreamcatchers. Her joy was amplified when surrounded by family and friends during get-togethers, where her infectious laughter and stories were the highlight of the evening.

Surviving to cherish her memory are her children, Brandon Brown of Coffeyville, Kansas, Amber Loffer of Fredonia, Kansas; grandchildren, Jaelyn Garrison, Layton Brown, Kaitlyn Loffer and Rickey Loffer; siblings, Tony Cook of Coffeyville, Kansas, Lola Fredricks of Arizona, Walter Cook of Coffeyville, Kansas and Jeanette (Jesse) Vargas of Coffeyville, former husband, Bill Slape along with many extended relatives and friends.

Sheryl L. Garr, loving wife, mother, and friend, passed away on March 19, 2024, after battling pancreatic cancer. She was born on September 12, 1957, in Peoria, Illinois, to Bennie and Judith Manley.

Sheryl and her family resided in several states because of her father’s profession until they settled in Edna, Kansas when she was 5 years old. There, she attended grade school and eventually graduated from Labette County High School in Altamont, KS. She then attended Coffeyville Junior College where she met the love of her life: Dennis Garr. Sheryl and Dennis exchanged vows on August 8, 1976, and, shortly after their nuptials, moved to Manhattan, KS where Sheryl completed her bachelor’s degree in animal science at Kansas State University.

After moving to Oklahoma and Montana for various job opportunities, Dennis and Sheryl moved to North Carolina where they were blessed with the birth of their first son, Andy. The three then moved to Stillwater, OK where they were blessed with the birth of their second son, Dillon. The family would then move to Nevada, MO before ultimately calling Springdale, AR home.

Professionally, Sheryl found her calling as the manager of various western wear retail stores across the country. Her commitment to work meant she could do it all - from producing radio ads, to finding and buying the latest fashions at market, to planning ‘Teddy Bear Roundups’ for less fortunate children. She also took special pride in sponsoring local rodeos and pageants. Sheryl could sell anyone a pair of cowboy boots and genuinely enjoyed making sure her customers left Boots and Spurs Western Outfitters looking rodeo ready.

Sheryl's unwavering work ethic was important to her, but her journey was defined by her love for her two boys, Dillon and Andy. In her leisure time, Sheryl cherished attending concerts and rodeos with her family, especially when traveling to the National Finals Rodeo. A recent highlight was attending a Billy Joel concert at Madison Square Garden with her beloved sons. Sheryl valued these moments of joy and shared them wholeheartedly with her family. Sheryl especially enjoyed recounting fun and adventurous stories of her past with her beloved grandchildren.

Sheryl's presence will be deeply missed by her surviving family members: her loving mother Judith Manley; devoted sons Andy Garr (wife Jessica) and Dillon Garr (wife Amanda); cherished granddaughters Kailey, Riley, and Allie Garr; brother Barry Manley (wife Terri); and sister Joyce Helms.

Sheryl was reunited in heaven with her father Bennie Manley and husband Dennis Garr. Their memories will forever remain in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing Sheryl.

A Visitation will be held on March 26, 2024, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM at the First United Methodist Church, 223 Delaware St. in Edna, KS. The Graveside Service is scheduled for March 27 at North Edna Cemetery, north of Edna on Highway 101 at 1:00 PM.

In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made payable to: Washington Regional J.B. Hunt Transport Services Cancer Support Home and may be mailed or left in care of Ford-Wulf-Bruns Chapel,2405 Woodland Ave.,Coffeyville, KS 67337
