Obituary - Susan Kay (Schallert) Rohaus

Susan Kay (Schallert) Rohaus was born February 7, 1960 in Clinton, Missouri. She grew up in Montrose, MO, with her parents, Maurice and Betty Lucille Schallert; brother, Eddie; and sisters Barb, Debbie, and Becky. She attended Montrose High School and Central Missouri State University, graduating with a Bachelors of Education.

On December 30, 1983 Susan married James Joseph Rohaus in Miami, Oklahoma. The union blessed Susan 3 stepchildren, Heather, Casey, and Dusty. Settling in Deepwater, MO, the couple welcomed 3 more children Samantha, Jameson, and Sheridan. They have continued to raise this wonderful family for over 40 years in the same spot, welcoming in sons- and daughters-in-laws, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.

Susan was a dedicated and beloved teacher for over 25 years. Always thinking of fun activities and crafts for her students, even years later she would recall the ones she thought were especially funny or cute. She taught special education in elementary schools at Ballard and Windsor before spending the majority of her career at Lakeland, where she taught various grades before her retirement in 2011. After retirement, she could still be found substitute teaching for several years, stopping by her son’s classroom to lend a hand (yes, he became a teacher too!), and saying hello to all her former students as she ran into them out and about in town.

Susan enjoyed many things outside of her impressive career. She loved flowers, gardening, and tending to her many yard decorations. She enjoyed lunching with friends and family, and she loved the thrill of finding a good bargain. She also loved hosting family get-togethers where she would make a huge variety of delicious side dishes that stuffed everyone in attendance and gave her and Jim enough leftovers for weeks. She especially enjoyed holidays and surprising her loved ones with themed treats and handmade keepsakes. Her Christmas stockings and other holiday decorations will remain happy traditions for years to come.

Susan is survived by her adoring husband, James Rohaus; her sisters Barbara Cook and Rebecca Dudley (Spencer); her children Samantha Rohaus (Cathie), Jameson Rohaus (Stephanie), and Sheridan Steenburgen (Austin); her stepchildren Heather Blankenship (Mike), Casey Rohaus (Kristi), and Dusty Rohaus (Jenny); many nieces and nephews, 10 grandchildren, 3 foster grandchildren, and 2 great grandchildren - all of whom will miss her greatly.

The family suggests any donations in memory of Susan be made to the Lakeland School Supplies Fund. It may be left at Hill & Son Funeral Home in Appleton City, Missouri or at the service at Deepwater Cemetery.

When confronted, Yount allegedly failed to comply with commands and physically resisted Deputy Saulters' attempts to take him into custody. During the struggle, Corporal Evans arrived and observed Yount with an arm around Deputy Saulters' head and neck in what was described as a headlock.

Corporal Evans deployed his department-issued Taser to assist in gaining control of Yount. Deputy Hinkle also arrived to assist, and Yount was subsequently taken into custody.
