Verna Heibert Classen was born on July 28, 1932 in Meade, Kansas.&nbsp; She was the youngest child of Ben and Lizzie Heibert, her brothers were Ernest and Marvin.

Verna’s early childhood was spent on the farm where her father raised crops.&nbsp; She went to a small country school, where she learned English because she only knew low-German.&nbsp; Verna accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior when she was 10.

Eventually they moved to the McPherson area where Verna finished grade school and junior high.&nbsp; For high school, Verna attended Meade Bible Academy, and those years were remembered with fond memories.&nbsp; She graduated in 1951.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Verna met Wilmer Classen, her future husband, while attending Meade Bible Academy.&nbsp; Verna later moved back with her parents.&nbsp; They wrote letters and had occasional telephone calls.&nbsp;&nbsp; Verna remembers well, their first date, they went to Hutchinson Fair and they rode on the Old Mill ride.&nbsp; Little did Verna realize that she would be attending Hutchinson Fair for decades after that first date.

Wilmer and Verna were engaged at Christmas time in 1953 and were married the following March of 1954.&nbsp; They moved for the first years of their marriage while Wilmer finished his 1 W service.&nbsp; These were hard years for Verna because she had never been that far away from family and friends, but they made lasting friendships during those years.&nbsp;

After 1 W service, Verna and Wilmer moved to the Kansas City area for Wilmer to attend nursing and anesthesia school.&nbsp; Verna supported Wilmer through school by cleaning area businesses and working at Russell Stover’s on the factory line putting the specific swirls on the chocolate to identify the centers.

Wilmer graduated from nursing school and they moved to Newton, Kansas where they spent the rest of their years.&nbsp; Wilmer and Verna had five children, a set of twins, Carl and Carol, who went to heaven shortly after they were prematurely born, Sharon (Matt) Schroder of Littleton, Colorado, Diane (George) Wingert of Kansas City, Kansas and Michael (Karen) Classen of Lebo, Kansas.

Verna was a wonderful, caring and compassionate mother and grandmother.&nbsp; She was vey generous and giving in everything that she did.&nbsp; Verna was a talented baker, seamstress, and enjoyed needle work.&nbsp; Many of you were recipients of her talented work, either with her cookies or peppernut baking, her zwieback and vernika.&nbsp; Verna also did incredible embroidery work and enjoyed making tea towels and quilts.&nbsp;

Verna leaves behind her 5 grandchildren: &nbsp;Jackson Wingert, Claire Wingert Dudley, Sarah and Josh Schroeder, Grant Harrison and many cherished friends and extended family members.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Funeral service will be 11:00 a.m., Saturday, September 23, 2023, at Koerner Heights Church with Pastor Dave Froese presiding.&nbsp; Visitation will be at the church from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday evening.&nbsp; Burial will be 10:00 a.m., Saturday at Greenwood Cemetery Newton, Kansas

Kathy Diane Whitcher, 72, passed away on Sunday, Sept. 17, 2023.

She was born on April 20, 1951, in Geneva, Nebraska to Robert and Mary Erb, the first of three siblings with Jim and Lori soon to follow. After spending her early life on the Nebraska farm between Shickley and Geneva, the Erbs made a pilgrimage to Hesston, Kansas when Kath was 14. She graduated from Hesston High School in 1969 and attended Hesston College.

At HC, she met an ornery guy from Texas, Sid Whitcher. The couple soon started dating even after Sid went back home to school at Texas A&amp;I (now Texas A&amp;M-Kingsville). They couldn’t be without each other and they were married at the Hesston Mennonite Church on November 27, 1971.

The couple enjoyed playing cards, softball and even bowling together before Rusty came along in February of 1977. Mindy followed in November of 1980 before Wendy surprised everyone in November of 1991. Before Wendy arrived, the family of four still played baseball and softball with Kathy deciding it was time to cut back when she, Sid, Rusty and Mindy had four different games in four different towns at the same time.

Kathy worked a plethora of different jobs from the counter at the Hitchin’ Post, to a clerking job at Central Livestock Company in South Hutchinson. Before hanging up her working spurs, she worked at Water’s Edge as a hostess along with managing special events. Under her eye, Water’s Edge had a successful dinner theater in a partnership with Hesston College, an endeavor which sadly went by the wayside.

Her passion was horses and she organized many trail rides, from scavenger hunts to fundraiser for the Hopi Mission School in Kykotsmovi Village, AZ. She loved her horses from Charlie to Chet and loved to see people getting joy from riding as well.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Mary Erb and her husband Sid.

Kathy is survived by her son, Rusty of Hesston, her daugthers, Mindy and Wendy (Terry) Whitchway of Wichita, her brother Jim (Jan) Erb of Hesston, sister Lori (John) Thimm of Beatrice, Nebraska, nephew Jesse (Rebecca) Erb, nieces Steph (Joe) Rheem, Kari (Beau) Cox, Abby (Shaun) Stover, Becca (Brandon) Kelley, several great nieces and nephews and much to her chagrin, several grand-cats.

A memorial service will be held at a later date as her last wishes were to have her ashes scattered with horses. Memorial contributions may be made to Hopi Mission School in care of Miller-Ott Funeral Home, PO Box 32, Hesston, KS 67062.
