Obituary

Helen Georgia (Gebauer) Price, 92, of Lenexa, Kansas, formerly of Cosby and St. Joseph, Missouri, passed away at Delmar Gardens care facility on Thursday, May 14th, 2026.

Helen was born on September 16th, 1933 to Mary Evelyn (Turpen) and Oscar Henry Gebauer in rural Rochester, Missouri. The family resided in rural Andrew County, Missouri. She graduated from Savannah High School.

On February 15th, 1952, Helen was united in marriage to Ralph H. Price. To this union the couple welcomed two sons, Dennis and Ronald. The couple celebrated 67 wonderful years of marriage, until Ralph's passing in late 2019.

Helen worked for Sears & Roebuck as a bookkeeper for 7 years, before she went to help found the Public Water District #2 of Andrew County. She was very proud of her accomplishments of the foundation of the water district, assuming the role of secretary in the formation of the district, and worked for 33 dedicated years as a bookkeeper and later became the manager, until her retirement.

Ralph and Helen resided in the Cosby area for much of their life, then later lived in St. Joseph. With the need for assisted care after Ralph's passing, she moved to Lenexa to be closer to her family.

Helen is survived by her sons; Dennis (Joylene) Price of Bonner Springs, Kansas, and Ronald Price of California. Additionally she is survived by her cherished granddaughter, Sondra Nicole Price.

Preceding Helen in death, were her parents Mary Evelyn and Oscar Henry Gebauer, infant brother, Glen Eugene Gebauer, and her beloved husband, Ralph.
