Mom and Dad, thank you for showing us what a good marriage should be. They lived on their family farm near Orienta. As a farm wife and mother, Sally was a “master” of many jobs. She was a wonderful homemaker, cook and baker and will be remembered for her pies and zwieback. She also enjoyed cooking for the kids at Fairview Elementary School. She enjoyed attending many of her children and grandchildren’s school programs, concerts and events, especially “Grandparent’s Day” at Emmanuel Christian School. She was so proud of her grandchildren. Mom loved teaching Sunday school at Saron Mennonite Church. Gene and Sally loved the adventures with the Youth Group at Saron, especially the boating trips to Canton Lake. Sally loved family gatherings and helping others. Of all her accomplishments, Sally’s greatest achievements have been in the lives of her family and friends. She had a unique gift to recognize and appreciate the talents in others and to make them feel loved. Her generous heart filled her home with love, fun, family and friends, including an attitude that there was always room for one more.
Sally is survived by her husband, Gene. Her children, Norma and David Cutler and Mike and Ellen Lohrenz; five grandchildren, Zac, Caitlin, Holly, Tiffany and Taylor. Her sisters Helen, Elizabeth and Ann.

He was raised on the family farm near Orienta. He attended a rural school west of Orienta, and graduated from Oklahoma Bible Academy, Meno.
He met his wife and best friend, Sarah "Sally" Friesen, of Meade, Kan., while he was working for Isaac Custom Harvesting. They were married on April 18, 1959, in Meade, Kan. They lived on a farm near Orienta, where they enjoyed 52 years of a wonderful marriage. Gene worked for Hiebert Brothers Construction and Waldon's as a welder. Gene loved the farming way of life. It was rewarding planting the seed, watching it grow and seeing it mature to harvest.
He loved his lifetime relationships with his fellow neighboring farmers and the strong agricultural community. As a family, we worked together on the farm, whether it was hauling wheat, hauling bales, feeding cows and pigs, or driving the tractor. Because of this and by his example, he has instilled in his children good hard work ethics.
Gene was a member of Saron Mennonite Church in Orienta, where he served as a deacon, trustee, Sunday school teacher, choir member, and was on the food committee with Sally. Gene and Sally loved the adventures with the youth group at Saron, especially the boating trips to Canton Lake.
Gene loved family gatherings and helping others. There was always room for one more in his home. Gene and Sally opened their home to nieces and nephews, whose parents were missionaries in other countries, so they could attend Oklahoma Bible Academy. Gene enjoyed attending many of his grandchildren's school programs, concerts and events, especially "Grandparent's Day," at Emmanuel Christian School. He was so proud of his grandchildren.
Gene is survived by his children, Norma and David Cutler; and Mike and Ellen Lohrenz; five grandchildren, Zachary and his wife, Amanda; Caitlin; Holly; Tiffany; and Taylor; his sister, Donna Nickel, Corn.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his loving wife, Sally; brother, Norman; and sisters, Betty, Wanda, Anita, Marley and Lorraine. He is without question in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, reunited with his beloved wife Sally, mother, father, sisters and brother.

Dad has left his family and friends with many wonderful life lessons and precious memories. He was an amazing husband, an awesome Dad, a fun Grandpa and an incredible father-in-law.
