19 Jan 1956 - 20 May 2021
Married 42+ years
Diny, as she was affectionately known, lost her final battle to ovarian cancer after a two and a half year
She was the ultimate family woman who loved to be with her family and friends. Whoever got to know Diny, loved her. For many she became their best friend. She was married to her husband for more than 42 years and raised three incredible children. She has 11 grandchildren (with another one on the way).
Her children and grandchildren were her pride and joy. Diny epitomized the qualities of an empathetic listener, which was the source of her glowing spirit. She loved people and she loved to share, herself especially, which helped them become better persons, and she also became a valued friend. Whoever she touched with her presence had a friend forever. Diny was the one in the room with the radiant welcoming smile for everyone, including strangers.
Early on, Diny had a career as an audiologist, but soon her life's mission was to raise her children to become loving people. She did this unfailingly for 37 years, guiding them through their lives with sensitivity and grace.
Preceded in death by her step-father Philip Egan, mother Suzanne (Sterba) Egan, step-sister Pat (Tom) Clancy, and step-brothers-in-law Mike Manning (Elaine) and Chuck Mathis (Clarice), and sister Roseanne Egan.

BETH ELOISE (HODGSON) LYNCH
Beth Eloise (Hodgson) Lynch, known to her many friends as Eloise, died on Thursday, April 1, 2021 at the Olathe Health Hospice House. Eloise had been a lifelong resident of Salina, Kansas before moving to Prairie Village, Kansas in recent years.
Throughout her life, Eloise was an independent woman whose quest for learning and knowledge, enjoyment of the company of others, and devotion to helping those in need was never ending. She always believed in a positive attitude and that goodness could be accomplished by anyone.
Eloise was born in Linn County, Kansas on September 2, 1927 and was the second of Owen E. Hodgson and Ella C. Hodgson’s three daughters. She graduated from Salina High School in 1945 and was named the Representative Girl of her high school class. Eloise attended the University of Kansas and during her freshman year was named Miss Student Union. Eloise later finished her undergraduate degree at Kansas Wesleyan University, and went on to receive a Masters Degree in Education from Kansas State University and a PH.D in Education from the University of Kansas.
Eloise began her career as a teacher in Salina’s USD 305. She initially taught at Roosevelt Lincoln Junior High School before moving to Salina South High School for that school’s opening. She primarily taught social science courses including Constitution, Democracy, and Western Political Heritage. Eloise was passionate about her teaching. She believed that education was a cornerstone for each individual’s development and provided a means towards a better humanity. She was involved in many educational associations and committees during her teaching years. In 1987 she received the Kansas Master Teacher Award, the same award her father, and her lifelong role model, had received in 1960. In addition to being a teacher, Eloise was the girl’s tennis and swimming coach at Salina South.
At the end of her teaching career, Eloise embarked on a career in politics and was elected to three terms in the Kansas House of Representatives as Representative of Kansas’s 71st state house district. After serving as a Representative, she continued to serve on the boards of the Kansas Committee on Aging and Guardianship, and Kansas Advocates for Better Care.
Eloise was active in many Salina area organizations including Salina Meals on Wheels, Chapter DL of PEO, Kansas Wesleyan University and the Saline County Democratic Party. She was a lifelong member of the First Christian Church, serving as a deacon, a board member, and teaching Sunday school for many years. She also attended the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Salina.
Eloise enjoyed her many friends from all corners of her life. She particularly enjoyed her many regular tennis matches, walks, and meetings for coffee with her friends. For many years Eloise produced a television show for Salina’s public access station titled ‘Oh Say’ in which she interviewed local Salina area residents on various topics and areas of interest. In recent years when asked by one of her sons, “Who was the most interesting person you ever interviewed for your show?” Eloise reflected for a moment, then said “Everyone is pretty interesting if you take enough time to get to know and understand them.”
Eloise raised three sons with her husband John B. Lynch (predeceased in 1987): Jack of Topeka, KS; Matt (Susan) of Pratt, KS and Will (Jane) of Prairie Village, KS. In addition, she leaves seven grandchildren: Daniel, Erin, Jeffrey, Jack, Annie, Joe and Tom; and three great grandchildren: Joanna, Sammie and Jessie. Eloise was a wonderful mom and always provided unwavering support and encouragement to her children. She was a role model and inspiration for her children and grandchildren in how to conduct their lives. Eloise had many memorable times with her children and grandchildren on special occasions, celebrations, and trips that will leave them with indelible memories. Eloise was predeceased in death by her two sisters Evelyn Amend and Madeleine Anderson.
The Lynch family wishes to thank all of Eloise’s caregivers at Brighton Gardens of Prairie Village and the Olathe Health Hospice House for their compassionate care of her. A memorial service for Eloise’s life will be at 10 am on Saturday May 22, 2021 at the First Christian Church, 2727 E. Crawford St., Salina, KS 67401 . In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to Salina Meals on Wheels, 245 N. 9th Street, Salina, KS 67401, or the Kansas Wesleyan Office of Advancement, 100 E. Claflin Avenue, Salina, KS 67401.
