He endured multiple severe injuries such as gunshot wounds, shrapnel wounds and a broken back.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Upon returning from Vietnam, he joined the FBI.&nbsp; His hiring required a special age waiver and the approval of FBI Director J Edgar Hoover himself, because Gerry had not yet turned 21 years.&nbsp; He was sought out by them due to his outstanding military record of extraordinary valor,&nbsp; unique training and skill sets.&nbsp; He served as a FBI Special Agent for many years but was called back to the military for Special Forces covert and clandestine operations in Panama, Grenada, Iraq, Kuwait as well as returning to Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos on five separate covert missions to develop intel in order to rescue POWs who had been left behind.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Gerry was also sought out by author Tom Clancy to consult on the development of a special operation composite character for a series of future novels he was writing.&nbsp; Gerry and 3 other high decorated military heroes contributed their expertise and experiences to develop the Special Operations/Navy Seal character named John Keppy first appearing in his novel, "Without Remorse."&nbsp; Gerry was an American Patriot who dedicated his life to serving the United of America in a multitude of ways for the Bureau, the United States Army and the CIA until multiple battle injuries&nbsp; and personal health issues formed him to be less mobile.&nbsp; He still continued to serve in an advisory administrative role until his retirement.&nbsp;&nbsp;

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of John Peterson, a beloved father, grandfather, husband, and friend on June 9, 2025.

He was born on November 7, 1943 in Ogden, Iowa.

John was preceded in death by his parents, Clint and Edith Peterson, and by his loving wife, Donna Peterson, with whom he shared a deep and enduring bond.

He is survived by his children: Scott Peterson, Royceanne Peterson, Bob Peterson, and Ryan Peterson (wife Brooke Peterson); and by his cherished grandchildren: Stephanie Niles-Peterson, Jordyn Peterson, Addie Drew (husband Connor Drew), Kenna Slaughter (Kadyn), Sammi Jo Peterson, Max Peterson, and Cruz Peterson.

Today, we say goodbye to a man whose stories, strength, and heart shaped all of us who loved him.

Our dad lived a life full of laughter, love, resilience—and deep compassion. He was never one to seek the spotlight, yet his presence filled every room. He had a gift for storytelling that could hold a crowd, and an even greater gift for kindness—especially toward animals. Whether it was a stray dog, a barn cat, or a wild creature in need, he had a way of connecting with them that felt almost magical. They trusted him, because they recognized the gentleness in his soul.

He was our protector, our historian, and our steady guide through life. Above all, he was a devoted husband to our mom. Their love was quiet but powerful, the kind that endures beyond this life. As we grieve his absence, we take comfort in knowing that he is reunited with her now—his partner, his love, his home.

We will miss him more than words can say. But we carry his spirit in our hearts, in our laughter, and in every story we pass down.

Memorial Services will be held at 2:00 p.m. Saturday, June 14 at Roberson Funeral Home, Bethany, MO. Inurnment will be held at a later date. The family will receive friends from 1:00-2:00 p.m. Saturday at the funeral home. Memorials may be made to the John Peterson Memorial Fund in care of Roberson Funeral Home, P.O. Box 46, Bethany, MO 64424.

Wanda Louise Zimmerman (Dredge) Fisher, 87, of St. Joseph, Missouri, passed away peacefully on Monday, June 9, 2025, at the home she cherished, surrounded by her loving family.

Wanda was warm, funny, and engaging — the kind of woman who never let you leave her home hungry, always had time for a story, and somehow made you feel like you belonged the moment you walked through her door.

She was born on June 14, 1937, in Maryville, Missouri, to the late Leonard and LaThella (Dredge) Zimmerman. A proud graduate of Horace Mann High School’s Class of 1955, she later attended Platt Business College after moving to St. Joseph.

Wanda retired from American Family Insurance after 22 years of loyal service. Before that, she worked as a school bus driver and broke new ground as St. Joseph’s very first female bread delivery driver in the 1970’s.&nbsp;

Wanda married the love of her life, Orlan Gene Fisher, on September 24, 1956. They shared 56 wonderful years together, raising five children and dancing their way through life at country dances across northwest Missouri, until Gene’s passing in 2013.

A faithful member of Calvary Chapel St. Joseph, Wanda and Gene also opened their home for Bible studies over the years — sharing not just scripture, but laughter, pie, and the kind of fellowship that sticks with you. She and Gene were involved with the Missouri Beekeepers Association and kept many apiaries. Wanda was a talented soap and candle maker, a passionate fisherwoman who could outfish anyone, and an avid tomato grower who loved her garden nearly as much as her kitchen.

In the kitchen - the heart of her home - Wanda was famous for her fried chicken, red velvet cake, and homemade pies, but even more so for her open invitation: anyone was welcome to sit at her table, sip coffee, and enjoy a cookie or two (or three). If you came to visit, you could expect a full plate, a warm smile, and a story worth hearing.

Wanda never met a stranger and was dearly loved by all who knew her. Quick-witted and endlessly kind, she had the rare gift of making everyone feel like family.

She is survived by her children, Brenda Polachek (Chris), Michael Fisher, Gregory Fisher (Betty Ann), Brett Fisher, and Gina Fisher; her sister, Evelyn Knowler (Gary); grandchildren Shawn, Steven, Sarah, Florella, Fallyn, Aubrey, Brian, Tyler, Gregory, Daniel, Juliana, Walter, and Franklin; and numerous great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and extended family.

In addition to her beloved husband and parents, Wanda was preceded in death by her sister, Patricia Owen, and her brother, Bernard Zimmerman.

A combined celebration of Wanda’s life and what would have been her 88th birthday will be held on Saturday, June 14, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. at Heaton-Bowman-Smith &amp; Sidenfaden Chapel. She will be laid to rest at Memorial Park Cemetery.

Visitation will begin at 12:00 p.m. Friday at the chapel, with family receiving friends from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. that evening.

In honor of Wanda’s fierce and abiding love for all children, the family requests memorial donations be made in Wanda’s name to The Noyes Home for Children.

Her hands are at rest, but her legacy lives on in every garden row, handwritten recipe, and steaming cup of coffee shared around a well-loved table.

Wilma Hall 93, Bethany, MO passed away Sunday, June 8, 2025, at a Plattsburg, MO nursing home.

Wilma Eugene Hall was born as the third daughter of Edward and Gail Dyer of Ridgeway, Missouri, on April 1, 1932. She attended Ridgeway Schools, graduating in 1950. At the age of 17, she met Bill Hall from Bethany, and in 1950, they were united in marriage—a union that would span over seven decades.

In 1954, Bill and Wilma embarked on a farming career that would last nearly 70 years. In 1960, they purchased a farm two miles southeast of Bethany, where they raised three sons. After Bill's passing in 2022, Wilma continued to live on the farm with the help of her devoted caregiver, Shirley Ward, until shortly before her own passing when she moved to a nursing home.

For nearly 70 years, Wilma was an active member of the First Christian Church in Bethany. She contributed in countless ways—helping with church meals, working with the Christian Women's Fellowship (CWF), assisting with the church's 150th anniversary celebration, supporting Vacation Bible School, and much more. She was also deeply involved in the Happy Hustlers 4-H Club for many years, both while her sons were members and afterward.

Although Wilma's primary focus was raising her sons and supporting the farm, she also worked outside the home at several places. She worked at Hallmark in Kansas City while Bill was overseas during the Korean War, at Hy-Vee in Bethany, and at the University Extension Service in Bethany.

Later in life Wilma and Bill spent their winters in Texas, where they formed close friendships that were nearly as dear as family. These experiences enriched Wilma’s life, but her greatest joy was always her family. The many family gatherings and celebrations shared with the extended family of Kenneth and Patsy Hall were among her most cherished memories. For nearly 50 years, the two families would gather in the Ozarks for a long weekend of recreation and camaraderie. Another special occasion was the celebration of Wilma and Bill's 70th wedding anniversary, held on a beautiful day at the Hall Family Farm.

Wilma was preceded in death by her husband, Bill Hall; her parents, Ed and Gail Dyer; and her two sisters, Elaine Baker and Mary Etta Robinson. She is survived by their three sons: Alan (Debbie) of Plattsburg, MO; Larry (Edith) of Hallsville, MO; and Ron (Amy) of Poteau, OK. Additional survivors include her grandchildren: Jeff Hall, Clint Hall, Marissa Termini, Jenny Sullivan, Wendy Baker, and Grace Hall, as well as nine great-grandchildren.

Wilma has been cremated under the direction of Roberson Funeral Home, Bethany, MO.

The family will hold a memorial graveside service in Antioch Cemetery at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, June 14, 2025. Memorial gifts may be made to the First Christian Church or the Antioch Cemetery in care of Roberson Funeral Home, P.O. Box 46, Bethany, MO 64424.
