She accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior upon confession of her faith and was baptized in Dillon Lake, Hutchinson by Reverend Arnold Ensz on August 19, 1956. Eva graduated from Inman Rural High School in 1960 and attended Sterling College for one semester then graduated from Adela Hale School of Business in Hutchinson. Her first job was as a secretary for Western and Southern Life Insurance.

Eva first met Willard as a friend of Joyce, Wayne, and Paul Ensz who were good friends of the family. A few years later, Eva was a 7th grader with Willard at Countryside Grade School. During this year, Willard gave Eva his 6th grade school picture signed “Love, Willard” in red ink. Eva still had this picture. Eva married Willard Friesen on September 16, 1962 at Bethel Mennonite Church. She transferred her membership to Bethel and remained a member until death. Eva taught Sunday School classes, a Wednesday night class, and sang in the church choir. She was also a member of the Homesteaders EHU.

Willie and Eva lived in Hutchinson when their first son, Jeff was born in 1964. Scott was born in 1967. Later that year, they built their first home on 44th street in Hutchinson and lived there for six years. Eva worked nights for three years at First National Bank during this time. Willie was a car salesman at Davis Child in Hutchinson. In 1973, Willie took a job at Reimer Ford in McPherson and the family moved to Inman where they built a home that they lived in until Eva moved to the estates at Pleasant View Home in 2020.

Eva started working for Penner Feed and Supply as a bookkeeper in 1979 and was there for ten years. She then worked as the Inman City Clerk for 23 years until she retired in 2012. After that, Eva was a volunteer Treasurer for the Inman Senior Center. She loved going to the Harvest Cafe for coffee with her friends. This group was very important to her, especially after Willie passed away. Willie and Eva enjoyed friendships with other couples they had grown up with in school and church. Weekends were spent at Kanapolis Lake with these couples. This was a special bond and all of the couples ended up being married for fifty years or more. Willie and Eva almost made it to fifty-three and Willie was the first to break that circle with his death in 2015.

Willie and Eva especially enjoyed attending sporting events that their boys were involved in. Both of the boys made them proud. They both came back to Inman after college and married wonderful girls. They lived three and five blocks from Willie and Eva. There are five grandsons that they were so proud of: Jake, Jason, Jared, Justin, and Jordan. They also were able to enjoy watching them participate in sports and other school events.

After retirement, Willie and Eva were able to take trips by car and that was something that they loved to do. They also had many memories from trips to Cancun, Hawaii, Alaska, and many other vacations. A quote from Eva: “We had trials and illnesses, but God saw us through. To God be the glory!”.

Rosemary Mourn was born in Newton, KS, on October 4, 1927, to Frank and Rosaline (McCarthy) Bornowsky.

She was preceded in death by: her parents; brothers, Francis, Bernard, and Mark; husband, Rawlin; son, Bruce (Connie); daughter, Nancy; and granddaughter, Kimberly.&nbsp;

Rosemary is survived by: ten of her children, Theresa Lewis (Ken), Anthony (Patsy), David (Jean), Dianna Mourn (Steve Hein), Douglas (Nancy), Melinda Beyer (Michael), Myron, Nathan (LeEtta), Anna Rein (Jim), and Richard (Cristi); 38 grandchildren; 82 great-grandchildren; 6 great-great-grandchildren; son-in-law, Gary Fullerton; and brother-in-law, Wallace (Sharen) Mourn.

Rosemary was raised in Newton, KS, and there began her education, faith formation, and family.&nbsp; She continued her education in cosmetology school. On October 3, 1948, she married Rawlin G. Mourn and soon moved to Hutchinson, KS, where they raised their 12 children and encouraged them in the ways of the Catholic faith. Rosemary helped meet the practical challenge of a large family by gardening on a large scale.&nbsp; She is legendary for her bread-making, not only in the mesmerizing quality of product, but the massive quantities scribed in her recipes.&nbsp; She kept an immaculate house which reflected both on her tireless work ethic, but also her management skills as she enlisted and taught her children to do their share and aspire to her standards.&nbsp; She was a perfectionist and often said, “If you don’t do it right, then don’t do it at all”.&nbsp; She took pride in the condition of her yard and flowers even through the many years when most tasks fell on her alone.

Rosemary’s passion as a devoted wife and mother seemed fueled by her love for music.&nbsp; Her home was often filled with singing around the piano or organ, frequently with her children joining the enamoring magic of Rawlin’s perfect tenor harmony.&nbsp; She led the choirs at Our Lady of Guadalupe and Saint Teresa’s Catholic churches where she was also a lead vocalist and organist for decades.&nbsp; Rosemary particularly loved music as an expression of her faith.

Central to Rosemary’s identity was her devotion to the Catholic faith and the life of the church.&nbsp; Faith carried her through the raising of 12 children and the loss of brothers, parents, husband, and two children. Rawlin died in July of 1986 and she eventually moved to Colorado Springs, CO. She remained joyful through many years of intense physical pain and had a playful sense of humor.&nbsp; Even to the end, she encouraged others to talk to God and that in Divine Communion there would be found help.

Rosemary passed peacefully at home on February 22, 2023, and will be sorely missed by family and friends.&nbsp; She leaves an indelible legacy of love for family, of caring actions for friends, and commitment to the church and its tenets of faith.&nbsp;

Parish rosary will be 10:30 a.m. Saturday, March 4, 2023, followed by the Mass of Christian Burial at 11:15 a.m., at St. Teresa Catholic Church, 211 E. 5th, Hutchinson, KS.&nbsp; Both services will be officiated by Father Matt Glazier.&nbsp; Burial will follow in Fairlawn Burial Park Cemetery, Hutchinson.&nbsp; A public reception will be held from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, March 4, 2023, at the Sand Hills Center, 4601 N. Plum Street, Hutchinson, KS.&nbsp; Friends may call from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, March 3, 2023, with the family present from 1 to 3 p.m. Friday, March 3, 2023, at Elliott Mortuary.

In lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested to the American Heart Association or American Diabetes Association, in care of Elliott Mortuary and Crematory, 1219 N. Main, Hutchinson, KS 67501.

Patty Tieszen was born on July 16, 1928 in Forgan, Oklahoma to Henry Mercer and Helen (Rice) Parks. She passed peacefully on February 23, 2023 at Schowalter Villa in Hesston, KS. She married Lewis Earl Tieszen on August 18, 1953.&nbsp; He preceded her in death on October 12, 1995.

Patty moved to Wichita from Oklahoma and attended Friends University. There she was a member of the Singing Quakers. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Sociology. Early on, she worked for Boeing and was introduced to Lewis by her future sister-in-law. She moved to Walton where she worked for Rhodes Construction. After she married, she and Lewis started a family and her work became her children and the business of the farm. She was a vital member in the Walton community, helping with 4H, Boy Scouts and various organizations in Walton.

When the children were all in school, she worked as a substitute teacher, an educational aide and a paraprofessional for many years in the USD 373 school district.&nbsp; She was passionate about student learning and loved children.&nbsp; After retiring from USD 373, she went to work at Walmart as a greeter when it opened in Newton.

Patty was very supportive of her children and grandchildren in their school and extracurricular activities; rarely missing a game, match, meet, choir/band performance or musical. She loved reading to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and there are many photos of her in her chair with the kids on her lap and a book in hand.

She was a member of Walton United Methodist Church and was an active choir member with a beautiful alto voice. Her faith was apparent to all who knew her not because she talked about it, but because of the way she lived her life. She gave of herself and accepted others the way they were. After experiencing the loss of her sons, she became a member of Harvey County Compassionate Friends.

Patty loved spending time with family playing games and sharing meals together. From “wienie” roasts, home-cooked breakfasts and holiday feasts; all brought family and friends together at the farm. Holidays were especially important to her.

She loved music. She could often be found at the piano playing or teaching one of the little ones. She was an avid gardener of many vegetables, but her tomatoes were spectacular.&nbsp; She always had beautiful flowers both in the yard and in pots. She was extremely well-read and well-informed about current events.

Patty was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, her sons: Michael Kent Tieszen and Richard Scott Tieszen, four sisters: Luetta Conn, Nellie Fairbank, Catherine Whitney and Shirley Meyer, and one brother H.M. Rice.
