Jane Ray Clements, a cherished wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away on November 6, 2025, at the age of 78 in Joplin, MO, due to complications from dementia. Born on October 1, 1947, in Kansas City, MO, Jane’s life was marked by her infectious humor, boundless generosity, and the thoughtful care she extended to everyone around her.

Jane grew up in Ft. Scott, KS, and later moved to Pittsburg, KS. She worked at Consumer’s until its closure. She continued to serve her community through retail work and home health care until her well-deserved retirement.

Family was the cornerstone of Jane’s world. She was preceded in death by her loving mother, Maxine McMichael, her grandfather who helped raise her, R.C. Smith, and her brother, Donny Tully. Her legacy lives on through her devoted husband, Terry Clements, and her four children, Ricky Clements, Rachel Hubbard, Michelle Dietz (Jerrod), and Chris Clements (fiancé Shannon). Jane’s joy was multiplied by her four grandchildren, Jessie and Casey Dietz, Addison, and Grant Clements, who will forever cherish the memories created with their beloved grandmother.

Jane’s favorite moments were those spent surrounded by her family, whether it was a quiet evening at home or a lively family gathering. Her grandchildren were the light of her life, and she never missed an opportunity to attend their school events, celebrate their achievements, or simply enjoy their company.

An animal lover at heart, Jane’s pets, Tootsie and Suzy, were her constant companions. They brought her immense comfort and happiness, especially in her later years. Jane’s love for animals was just one of the many ways she showed her gentle and caring nature.

Those who knew Jane will remember her for her quick wit and the laughter she brought to every occasion. Her generosity knew no bounds, as she was always the first to offer help or a kind word to those in need. Jane’s thoughtfulness was evident in the way she remembered birthdays, anniversaries, and important milestones, always making her loved ones feel special and valued.

As we bid farewell to Jane Ray Clements, we celebrate a life beautifully lived and a heart that deeply touched all who knew her. Her spirit, characterized by humor, generosity, and thoughtfulness, will continue to inspire and guide us. Jane’s memory will be held in the hearts of her family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to experience her love and kindness.

Anthony “Tony” Wayne Ogle, a cherished soul known for his kind heart and unwavering spirit, passed away in his hometown of Fort Scott, Kansas, on November 4, 2025, at the age of 56. Born on February 28, 1969, to the late Burton Wayne Ogle and Daisy Ruth Duerson Ogle, Tony’s life was a testament to the values of love, dedication, and joy that he inherited from his beloved parents.

Tony was a proud graduate of Fort Scott High School, class of 1987. His pursuit of knowledge and passion for helping others led him to continue his education at Pittsburg State University, where he honed his skills and prepared for a life of service and community involvement. His professional journey was marked by his commitment to the local school district, USD 234, where he made significant contributions to the educational landscape. His work ethic and dedication also shone brightly during his time with Coke and Superior, where he was not just an employee but a friend and mentor to many.

A devoted fan of the Kansas City Chiefs and the Royals, Tony’s enthusiasm for sports was infectious. He found joy in the roar of the crowd and the thrill of the game. His love for dirt track racing and bowling also occupied much of his leisure time, where he was not just a spectator but an active participant, sharing his passion with friends and family alike.

Those who knew Tony will remember him as the embodiment of kindness. His gentle demeanor, warm smile, and ability to make anyone feel valued left a lasting impression on all who had the pleasure of crossing his path. Tony’s legacy is not merely in the roles he played or the achievements he accomplished, but in the countless lives he touched with his generous spirit and compassionate nature.

As we bid farewell to Anthony “Tony” Wayne Ogle, we celebrate a life beautifully lived and a journey completed with grace. His memory will be cherished and kept alive in the stories shared, the laughter remembered, and the profound impact he had on his community and beyond. Tony’s presence will be deeply missed, yet his spirit will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know him.

Rev. Dusty Drake will conduct services at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 12^th, at the Cheney Witt Chapel. Burial will follow in Memory Gardens Cemetery, Fort Scott.
