Obituary: Jean Berry, 82, Manhattan, KS was called to Heaven on Sunday, February 5, 2006 while in the Mercy Regional Health Center, Manhattan with a recent illness.

Born in Pottawatomie County, November 19, 1923, she grew up at Rocky Ford and married Gus E. Berry in 1942. A lifetime resident of Manhattan, she and Gus had four daughters; Edrena Adolph, Bette Skaggs, Sue Washburn, Becky Blue and they raised Jean’s niece, Sherry Stutzman.

Gus and Jean lived and farmed together in the Eureka Valley area. They were Be-Busy 4-H Club leaders and school bus drivers for many years. Both were active with school and community activities. Gus, a former Ogden Chief of Police and Riley County Sheriff’s Deputy, preceded her in death on August 21, 1977.

Jean’s home was always the gathering place for family and friends. Her southern hospitality and cooking (especially her pies) welcomed all. While living with daughters in Eureka, Kansas and Beaver, Oklahoma, she became known as Granny to the families she befriended.

Jean’s southern roots came from her parents, John and Emma (Crump) Prestwood, who moved to Kansas to homestead. Jean’s family made many visits to North Carolina and kept close ties to relatives there.

Jean loved each season of the year which found her planting garden and flowers, canning the harvest and decorating her home for all the holidays.

Written in her Bible was her daily prayer, “use me today to help someone else.” Providing for others were her everyday chores. Jean and her children attended the Manhattan Church of the Nazarene.

Jean had two sisters and two brothers who preceded her in death, an infant brother, William, Lorena (Lutz), Almetta Prestwood and Edward (Bud) Prestwood.

In addition to her four daughters, she is survived by seven grandchildren: Berry Skaggs, Todd Adolph, Jantzie Bluthardt, Jason Adolph, Buffy Headrick, Brenda Louthan, and Amanda Silva; and eleven great grandchildren: Gus and Hadley Skaggs, Wesley Adolph, Keane and Ariel Adolph, Briggham, Aspen and Grayson Headrick, Hanna and Easton Louthan and Teygan Bluthardt.

Funeral services will be at 11:30 a.m., Thursday, February 9, 2006 in the Irvin-Parkview Funeral Home, Manhattan with Pastor Pat Weyrauch officiating. Burial will follow in the Valley View Memorial Gardens, Manhattan. Jean’s family will receive friends from 7 until 8:30 p.m., Wednesday at the funeral home.

Memorial contributions can be made to the First Church of the Nazarene or the Riley County 4-H Foundation and left in care of the funeral home. Online condolences can be sent to www.irvinparkview.com.
