Leesa was born on March 15th, 1962 in Burlingame, KS. She was raised the majority of her childhood in Topeka, KS, and later relocated with her family to Claremore, OK in her teen years where she attended various schools. She raised her children in the Wichita, KS, and Claremore, OK regions. Later in life, she met her husband, Bill Mersereau and they were currently living in Canton, KS at the time of her passing.

Anyone who ever met Leesa knew two things; she loved Jesus, and she loved people. She demonstrated this love by always being willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. She was passionate about four things; God, family, church, and serving others. She could always be counted on to offer an encouraging word and give one of her famous hugs. She loved to craft, go antiquing with her sister, and spend time with her friends and family. She will be greatly missed but we rejoice knowing she is in the eternal presence of God based on her faith in Jesus Christ.

Leesa is preceded in death by her daughter, Stephanie. And is survived by her loving husband Bill, five children, twelve grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, and countless friends and family members who all loved her greatly.

Lola Mae Blew Mandeville – Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Great &amp; Great Great Grandmother, Prayer Warrior, and Friend.

Lola Mae Mandeville, 90, of Hutchinson passed into the arms of her LORD and Savior Jesus Christ on Sunday, February 11, 2024. Lola was born on August 19, 1933 to Edmund A and Ethel J (Nelson) Blew in Partridge, Kansas. Lola grew up in Sylvia and graduated from Sylvia High School and Adela Hale Business College.

Lola and Jim were married on March 1st, 1953 in Sylvia, Kansas. Lola was a faithful U.S. Navy wife while her husband served aboard the USS Charles R Ware, DD-865 during the Korean Conflict. During that time, she lived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Newport, Rhode Island.

Besides being a loving and nurturing mother to her children, Lola worked during the summer months at the Credit Bureau in the Wolcott Building. After her children grew up, Lola worked several years as a Dispatcher for Reno County. She was an insurance billing clerk for the Medical Center and Dr. Young (Greene Vision). Lola loved to spend time with her family, Westside Baptist and Medora Community Bible Church family, and friends.

Lola is survived by her daughters Vicki (Thomas Sr) Trezise of Hutchinson and Roxanne Mandeville of Buhler; sons Richard (Victoria) of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Ronald (Leslie) of Hutchinson and Timothy of Towanda; grandchildren, Thomas Trezise, Melisa &amp; Gregory White, Shannon &amp; Dustin Spilsbury, Natalie Lopez, Christopher &amp; Mary Mandeville, Brandi Wiens, Andrew &amp; Emily Wiens, Sabrina &amp; Shawn Julian, Ethan &amp; Leah Mandeville, Nicole &amp; Tim Houser, Jesica &amp; Jake Ronning, Michelle Darnell, Allyson, Olivia, &amp; Alaina Mandeville; 40 great grandchildren and 2 great-great grandchildren; brother Beryl (Twila) Blew, sister-in-law Katherine Aps and numerous beloved nieces and nephews. Lola was preceded in death by her parents and parents-in-law Ralph and Maryetta (Landon) Mandeville, siblings Helen Blew, James &amp; Gwen Blew, William &amp; Doris Blew, Opal and Conrad Bunting, Patricia Blew, Mary Margaret Wagoner (Robert Levoy/Roy Ryan/Jack Wagoner), Robert &amp; Nancy Mandeville, Rodney Aps, infants Earl Mandeville, twins Larry and Jarry Mandeville, and 2 infant great great grandsons.

It is Lola’s fervent prayer that you be introduced to God’s Grace…Amazing Grace with Salvation through Jesus Christ our LORD, so you too can join him in Heaven when your work on earth is through. God left His simple directions in His Holy Word.

The Problem: We are all sinners by nature and by choice. Romans 3:23 – “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”

The Predicament: We can’t get there by ourselves. Romans 4: 4-5 – “Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt. But to him who does not work, but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is account for righteousness”

The Penalty: There is a consequence for our sin. Romans 5:12 – “Therefore, just as through one man, sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because all have sinned”

The Provision: God demonstrated His love for us. Romans 5:8 – “But God demonstrates His own love towards us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us”

The Pardon: We receive eternal life as a free gift! Romans 6:23 – “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

The Process: We must trust and surrender to Jesus as Lord. Romans 10: 9-10 – “That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation”

The Promise: We have assurance of salvation through Jesus. Romans 10:13 – “For everyone that calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

The celebration of Lola’s life, on earth, will be held at 1:30 pm, Friday, February 16, 2024 at the Medora Community Bible Church, 8311 Medora Rd, Hutchinson, Ron Mandeville officiating. Service will be streamed on the Medora Community Bible Church You Tube Channel. Burial will follow at Fairlawn Burial Park, 2401 Carey Blvd, Hutchinson. Friends may call from 4 to 7 p.m., Thursday, February 15th at Buhler Mortuary, with family present from 5 to 7 p.m. Memorial contributions may be made to Medora Community Bible Church, Traditions Hospice, or Reflection Living in care of Buhler Mortuary, PO Box 589, Buhler, Kansas 67522.

Sheila Irven, a loving and caring soul, has sadly departed from this world. She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all those fortunate enough to have known her. Sheila's life was characterized by her immense heart, warm personality, and her unwavering willingness to lend a helping hand.

Born on October 4, 1962, in Newton, KS to Carolyn Irene Rutschman and Peter Leo Funk, Sheila grew up surrounded by the love of her family. From a young age, she displayed a remarkable ability to connect with others and make them feel valued. This gift carried with her throughout her life and touched the hearts of many.

During her younger years as a nursing aid, Sheila showed tremendous compassion for those in need. She dedicated herself to caring for others, selflessly providing comfort during their most vulnerable moments. Her nurturing nature extended beyond the healthcare field as well. In an endeavor that charmed both young and old alike, Sheila embarked on an unusual journey as she established a worm farm in Indiana and later in her own garage in Newton. Fondly known as the "Worm Goddess," she showcased her ingenuity and passion for nature.

Sheila's infectious friendliness enveloped those around her. Regardless of whether you were a longtime companion or a complete stranger passing by on the street, she possessed an innate ability to strike up a conversation that would brighten your day. Her genuine interest in people's lives fostered connections that transcended mere acquaintanceship.

True to her nature as both caring and honest, Sheila was never one to shy away from offering her opinion when asked. Her perspective was appreciated by many due to its unique blend of wisdom and wit. If you sought heartfelt advice or an amusing anecdote to brighten your spirits, she never failed to deliver.

Beyond her enriching career and captivating personality, Sheila found solace and joy in various hobbies and interests. Crafting became a beloved pastime, and she delighted in creating intricate wooden earrings that showcased her creative flair. Each piece served as a testament to her meticulous attention to detail and artistic sensibilities.

Among Sheila's proudest accomplishments was being featured in the Harvey County Now for her innovative worm farm in Newton. Her dedication to sustainable practices and her unwavering love for the environment were truly commendable. Through her endeavors, she inspired others to appreciate the interconnectedness of nature and to embrace sustainable living.

Sheila will be remembered with great fondness during the visitation &nbsp;to be held on February 18, 2024, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Petersen Family Funeral Home located at 215 N Main St, Newton, KS 67114. It will be an opportunity for family, friends, and loved ones to gather and share cherished memories of a remarkable individual.

A graveside service will take place on February 19, 2024, starting at 10:00 AM at Whitewater Cemetery located at 10881-11579 SE 72nd St, Whitewater, KS 67154.

Sheila leaves behind a legacy of love and kindness that will forever be cherished by those who survive her. She is survived by her sisters Valinda Atwater, and Andrea (Mason) DuBois and her life partner Eugene "Gene" Corfman. While words cannot ease the pain of their loss, may they find solace in the memories shared with Sheila and draw strength from the love she bestowed upon them.

As we mourn the passing of Sheila Irven, let us also celebrate the vibrant life she led. Through her acts of kindness, infectious laughter, and unwavering love for others, she has left an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of those fortunate enough to have crossed paths with her. May her spirit live on in our memories, and may we honor her legacy by embracing the values she held dear - love, compassion, and a zest for life.

Rest in peace, dear Sheila. You will be forever missed and eternally loved.
