"VIEW VIDEO TRIBUTE"
Arthur Joseph McEnany was born in 1945 in Manchester, Iowa to A.J. and Loretta McEnany. Arthur was the oldest of eight children. He was raised in Ryan, Iowa on a farm that had been in his family for over 100 years. He graduated from St. Patrick’s High School in Ryan, and later attended Loras University in Dubuque, Iowa where he received a degree in Economics. After college, Arthur joined the Air Force serving from 1967 to 1971. He was stationed in Topeka, Kansas, where he met and married the love of his life, Virginia (Ginny). They were married in 1969 and have two daughters, Patricia (Donald) Mabary and Cheryl (Martin) Parks. They were also blessed with 5 grandchildren: McKinzie & Marina Parks, Brady, Logan and Wyatt Mabary.
Arthur loved his grandchildren and was known to be an easy “sell” for a trip to Dairy Queen, a game of hide and seek, or Hungry Hippos. He loved being outdoors and spent many years hunting, camping, boating and traveling with family and friends.
Arthur worked in manufacturing for many years before retiring, as Plant Manager, at American Binderies in Topeka, Kansas. He went on to fulfill a dream of business ownership, purchasing and operating an outdoor power equipment shop for over 10 years. Later, he and Ginny sold the business in order to travel and move closer to their children and grandchildren. He spent many hours farming, gardening, and playing cribbage with family.
Arthur was a life-long member of the Catholic Church, a former member of the Knights of Columbus, Optimists Club and the North Topeka Business Alliance.
Arthur is preceded in death by his parents, his brothers Tom and Bill, his sister Katherine, a nephew and a great-niece. He is survived by his wife, his children and their spouses, his grandchildren, his sisters Margie (John) Heles, Des Moines, IA, Marilyn (Charles) Moore, Barbara (Dan) Feldmann of Cedar Rapid, IA, Maxine McEnany of Davenport, IA and by many nieces and nephews.
Funeral Mass was held Saturday, October 27, 2012 at Our Lady Of Lourdes Catholic Church, Harrisonville, Missouri with interment in Orient Cemetery, Harrisonville.
