Softly and tenderly is how Shirley Bowen left this world and was greeted into Heaven. Shirley Corrine Bowen was born March 3, 1935, in Topeka, to Fred and Vernice (Rich) Wilson. She passed away on Sunday, October 3, 2021.

Shirley will be remembered for her caring heart and kind spirit. She grew up in Topeka with her two older sisters, Margaret and Joan, graduating from Holiday Junior High and Topeka High School. Shirley ventured out of state for her freshmen year of college to Bob Jones University in South Carolina, but headed home to attend Washburn University for her sophomore year. And it’s a good thing she did! This is where she met the love of her life, Ralph Bowen.

After Ralph graduated from Washburn, he and Shirley got married and moved to Hutchinson, where they raised four children, and spent the next 64 years as very active members of the community.

Shirley and Ralph loved attending cultural and sporting events in the community. They never missed going to the Kansas State Fair and were life-long season ticket holders for HCC football and basketball games. They also enjoyed attending K-State football games and tailgating with family.

Family traditions were important to Shirley, always celebrating birthdays and holidays with family and creating great memories!&nbsp; She and Ralph also shared many happy times traveling with their friends and family.

Janice Ludene (Schmidt) Holdeman was born on May 2, 1938 to Cornelius and Alverta Schmidt, in rural McPherson County, Kansas. She unexpectedly, but very peacefully left us at Capital Region Medical Center on October 4, 2021, reaching the age of 83.

As a 5-year-old girl they moved to Harvey County, Kansas, attending at Hesston Congregation. She gave her heart to God, and was baptized on November 11, 1950 by Milford Wenger, and was faithful to her vows until death. Being the 5th child in her family, she enjoyed a happy childhood, often walking two miles to Stone School where she received her formal education.

She married her life's companion, Ordo Holdeman, on December 26, 1960. They enjoyed 60 wonderful years together. To this union was born two daughters and one son. She was always very supportive of her husband. The children always knew that she was there for them, whether they were coming home from school, or in ambitions and pursuits later in life.

She enjoyed relatively good health through most of her life. Mom loved keeping a clean house, and really enjoyed cooking and baking, filling her life's occupation as a homemaker. She was always very concerned about her family's spiritual wellbeing, including her spouse, children, and grandchildren. She loved gardening, raising lots of flowers. In spite of financial hardships, they never felt like they didn't have enough.

Once when yet another hardship arose with a failing water pump, she prayed God to fix the well. Her prayer of simple, trusting faith was answered and the well never quit as long as they resided there. She had a steady, even keel, and longed to stick to the old paths. Her life proved out her sincerity, and we have confidence she is resting under the altar.

Left behind with fond memories are her husband, Ordo Holdeman; daughter, Rhonda and husband Jake Schmidt of Eureka, Kansas; son, Keith and wife Rebecca of Versailles, Missouri; daughter, Kara and husband Mark Classen of Moundridge Kansas; 12 grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; 3 sisters, Lois and Conrad Yost of Osceola, South Dakota, Darla and Luke Martin of Hesston, Kansas and Rosalie and Daniel Koehn of Halstead Kansas and 4 sisters-in-law, Vada Schmidt, Verna Schmidt, Gladys Wiens, and Elaine Holdeman

Janice Ludene (Schmidt) Holdeman was born on May 2, 1938 to Cornelius and Alverta Schmidt, in rural McPherson County, Kansas. She unexpectedly, but very peacefully left us at Capital Region Medical Center on October 4, 2021, reaching the age of 83.As a 5-year-old girl they moved to Harvey County, Kansas, attending at Hesston Congregation. She gave her heart to God, and was baptized on November 11, 1950 by Milford Wenger, and was faithful to her vows until death. Being the 5th child in her family, she enjoyed a happy childhood, often walking two miles to Stone School where she received her formal education.She married her life's companion, Ordo Holdeman, on December 26, 1960. They enjoyed 60 wonderful years together. To this union was born two daughters and one son. She was always very supportive of her husband. The children always knew that she was there for them, whether they were coming home from school, or in ambitions and pursuits later in life.She enjoyed relatively good health through most of her life. Mom loved keeping a clean house, and really enjoyed cooking and baking, filling her life's occupation as a homemaker. She was always very concerned about her family's spiritual wellbeing, including her spouse, children, and grandchildren. She loved gardening, raising lots of flowers. In spite of financial hardships, they never felt like they didn't have enough.Once when yet another hardship arose with a failing water pump, she prayed God to fix the well. Her prayer of simple, trusting faith was answered and the well never quit as long as they resided there. She had a steady, even keel, and longed to stick to the old paths. Her life proved out her sincerity, and we have confidence she is resting under the altar.Left behind with fond memories are her husband, Ordo Holdeman; daughter, Rhonda and husband Jake Schmidt of Eureka, Kansas; son, Keith and wife Rebecca of Versailles, Missouri; daughter, Kara and husband Mark Classen of Moundridge Kansas; 12 grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; 3 sisters, Lois and Conrad Yost of Osceola, South Dakota, Darla and Luke Martin of Hesston, Kansas and Rosalie and Daniel Koehn of Halstead Kansas and 4 sisters-in-law, Vada Schmidt, Verna Schmidt, Gladys Wiens, and Elaine HoldemanShe was preceded in death by her parents; parents-in-law; 3 brothers; one sister and 2 sisters-in-law.Services will be held at 10:30 a.m., Friday, October 8, 2021 at Safe Haven Mennonite Congregation.
