Irene Anne Meadors

Irene Anne Meadors, 77, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loved ones in Topeka, Kansas, on April 29, 2026. She was born on July 14, 1948, to Ruth and Claude Causey.

Irene graduated from Wamego High School in 1968 before attending Ozark Bible College, where she met the love of her life, Roy Meadors. The two were united in marriage in 1972 and built a life centered around faith, family, kindness, and service to others. Together they raised three children: April, Crystal, and John.

Irene had a heart for children and devoted much of her life to children’s ministry, becoming a certified children’s ministry worker. Her faith guided the way she cared for others, and she was known for welcoming people into her home as though they were family. Many who had nowhere else to turn found warmth, comfort, and acceptance at Irene’s table. She loved cooking and baking for those she cared about and created countless memories with her family over the years.

One cherished memory shared by her daughter April was of family road trips filled with singing to help pass the time. On one memorable stop at a rest area, nearby travelers heard the family singing and began clapping along, turning an ordinary moment into one filled with laughter and joy, the kind of moment Irene seemed to create so effortlessly.

She is survived by her children, April Barrows (Dale), Crystal Clark (George), and John Meadors; her siblings, Claudia Leeds (Arnold), Glenn Causey, Michael Causey (Shelli), and Kitty DeMars (Fred); several spoiled grandchildren; one great-granddaughter; and a handful of terrific nieces and nephews.

Irene was preceded in death by her parents; her beloved husband, Roy Meadors; one brother; two sisters; and a nephew. Irene will be remembered for her unwavering faith, generous spirit, loving heart, and the way she made everyone feel welcome and cared for.

Her legacy lives on in the family she cherished and the many lives she touched through her kindness and ministry.

A visitation will be held on Friday, June 5, 2026 from 4pm-8pm at Irvin Parkview Funeral Home. A funeral service will be held at Grace Baptist Church of Manhattan on Saturday, June 6, 2026 at 11am. Burial will follow Monday, June 8, 2026 at Kansas Veteran's Cemetery at 11am.

Cheral Lynn Garrison

Cheral Lynn Garrison, our beloved “Purple Lady,” went home to be with her Lord and Savior on April 18, 2026 in Wakefield, KS. She fought a long and hard battle with Huntington’s disease. Her family wishes to extend a deep and loving tribute and “thank you” to all of the staff at Wakefield Care and Rehabilitation. It is through the hard work and dedication of each individual, that made these past years manageable as the disease progressed. The family cannot express enough gratitude for the love and care that you gave to Cheral in her final years. You went above and beyond the call of your profession and truly served and loved on her and her family. For that, they are eternally grateful and humbled.

Born September 16, 1955 in Seattle, WA to parents Donald and Jennie Doremus. She was one of six children. Cheral married Paul, the love of her life, on April 9, 1977. Together they were married for 49 years and 9 days and raised 3 children. Cheral was a woman who marched to the beat of her own drum and was lively. She was known by her love for all things purple which earned her the title of the “Purple Lady,“ from the children at her church. Over the course of her life, she made and gifted many beautiful quilts to family and friends. In addition, she also was a master gardener. Out of her love for plants and gardening, she inspired others to become master gardeners. More than anything, she loved the Lord. She impacted the lives of each person she encountered. She enjoyed serving with the yearly VBS, youth group, the church choir, Bible study groups, women’s ministry, and hosting dinners with friends from church. In her latter years, Cheral continued to love on people as she was able to. She would be spotted near the entry door of the common area of the nursing home. She would say “hello” to each person who passed by her. She was intentional about remembering each person’s name and telling them that she loved them.

Cheral is preceded in death by her parents, Donald and Jennie Doremus; sisters Donna and Marjorie; brother-in-law Dave Garrison; and nephew Rod.

Cheral is survived by her loving husband Paul Garrison; her three children: Joshua and Heidi Garrison, Corrine and Doug White, Cameron and Jennifer Garrison; her seven grandchildren: Elissa and Cody Bratcher, Malakai Garrison, Aeah White, Isaac White, Oliver White, Aurora Garrison, and Roman Garrison; her soon awaited great grandchild “Fredericka” Bratcher; her parents-in law, Tom and Sharon Garrison; her siblings: Roberta Jean Miller, Betty Sue Corkery, and Dean and Sheri “Sister”Doremus; her brother-in-law Phil and Stephanie Garrison, sister-in-law Sherry Garrison; lifelong friend and family member Sally Urbina; many nieces, nephews, other family and friends.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that each of you plant a flower or tree in memory of Cheral. She loved plants and cultivating them, so her family feels this would be the most honoring way to remember her legacy in a lasting way.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.” — Psalm 23

“Well done, good and faithful servant.” — Matthew 25:23
