Obituary - Jane Hertzog

On May 1, 2021, another angel, Jane Hertzog of Butler, Missouri, has gone to heaven to be with her heavenly Father. Jane was the daughter of Geneva Bailey Norman and Louis Norman. 

She started her life on the family farm just south of Dexter, Missouri, on December 11, 1937. She graduated from Dexter High School in 1955 and graduated from the Baptist Nursing School in Kansas City.

Jane married Jerry Hertzog, the love of her life, and they raised four children, Kathy, Dan, Jim, and Gary, in Greenwood, Missouri. She was a registered nurse, a genealogist, gardener, antique enthusiast and helped Jerry with the family business for many years. She meant so much to so many people and was loved by all who knew her.

Jane fell and broke her hip on April 25. Although she recovered from her surgery well, her respiratory status became terminal. With the help of Compassus Hospice thinking outside the box, we were able to bring her home. Her entire immediate family welcomed her home, including children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and most of her caregivers of the past several years. Jane was able to speak to each person and tell them she loved them. With Jerry holding her hand and giving a kiss goodbye, she went to be with her Lord May 1. A short 19 hours after her death, her family organized a gathering of friends and family at her home to celebrate her life.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Geneva Bailey Norman Zengerle, father Louis Norman, and stepfather, Harris "Doc" Zengerle, who raised Jane and her sister Louise Norman Stevens.

She is survived by her husband, Jerry Hertzog of Bulter, MO, daughter, and son in law, Kathy and Mike Simmons of Kerrville, TX, son and daughter in law, Danny and Elona Hertzog of Lone Jack, MO, son and daughter in law, Jim and Kathi Hertzog of Butler, MO and son and daughter in law, Gary and Robyn Hertzog of Greenwood, MO. Jane has twelve grandchildren and many great-grandchildren, with two more expected this summer. She also has many nieces and nephews who will miss her.

The family hosted a celebration of life at the family home. Her final resting place will be at Harper Cemetery in Aid, Missouri.

The family requests that memorial donations in Jane's name be made to the Lee's Summit History museum or Compassus Hospice and Palliative care.

Obituary - Linda Lee (Jacuzzi) Emery

Linda Lee Jacuzzi Emery, 72, died May 14, 2021 from complications of heart problems and autoimmune diseases. She was born August 11, 1948, in St. Louis, Missouri, to Clydia and Tullio Jacuzzi.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her sister Nancy Davenport, her sister-in-law Patti Jacuzzi, her nephew Clay, her grandson Trystan, and great grandson Killy Schultz.

Linda married Lynn Emery Thanksgiving of 1980 in Little Rock, AR. They owned and operated a Stained-Glass Shop for 10 years, then she worked for Planned Parenthood before becoming Executive Director of Rape Crisis in Little Rock, Arkansas. After moving to Nevada, Missouri in 2000, Linda worked for Moss House, and several other agencies working for disabled and disadvantaged youth and adults, before retiring and throwing all her efforts into quilting.

Linda was an artist and devoted herself to creating beauty in both stained glass and quilts. She was a Master Quilter who loved to teach adults and youth. She has created hundreds of quilts and fabric works of art including the Galaxy of Roses Quilts that was a National Quilt Contest Winner.

Linda inherited her father’s love of outdoors and gardening. She always had vast gardens of herbs, vegetables, and flowers. One of her favorite activities with her grandchildren was to be outside discovering the world.

Linda had a huge heart and brightened everyone’s world with her youthful inquisitive nature and wonderful sense of humor. She always saw the silver lining in situations, and was the quintessential hippie, and loved rock n roll. Lynn and Linda went to as many concerts as possible over the years, including Leo Kottke, Jethro Tull, Jimmy Buffet, Moody Blues, U2, Yes, Queen, and Elton John. The music playing during the service is representative of many of these concerts.

She is survived by her husband Lynn Emery, her son Jim Emery, her daughter in love Nicole Emery, her daughter Jen Olvey, her son Adrian Bozeman, her grandchildren Samantha, Michael, David, Dominic, Justin, Alexa, and Zoie; as well as her siblings, Richard, Kathy and husband Larry, Jim and wife Marilyn, Jane and husband John, Andy and partner Shannon, Julie and husband Gary and Robert and wife Michelle, as well as a multitude of nieces, nephews, great nieces, and great nephews. She was loved by friends and family and will be greatly missed.

A Celebration of Life will be at 11:0 p.m. May 1, 2021 at Ferry Funeral Home.

The family suggests that friends plant a tree or flower in memory of Linda.
