Vada Jewell Lieurance Call left her home in Eureka, Kansas on July 13, 2021 to reunite with her husband, Robert “Pat” Call, who had been awaiting her arrival since February 12, 2003. She is now dancing as much as her heart desires as they celebrate their belated 72nd wedding anniversary, which was July 4, and her 91st birthday, upcoming on August 5th.
Those who are thrilled she is dancing again, but saddened by her departure include daughter Terri Call of Eureka, daughter Linda Bock and husband Richard of Lebanon, Kansas, and granddaughter Amy Call of Wichita, Kansas. Additionally, she leaves behind seven nieces and nephews as well as many great nieces and nephews whose company and conversation she enjoyed as often as possible.
On a Saturday night, you might have found Vada camping at Fall River, listening to Pat play guitar at the V.F.W, or baking her signature breads and pies for a Sunday family gathering. After her retirement from Call Retail Liquor in Eureka, she also enjoyed making beaded Victorian lampshades, relaxing with her beloved Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Baby and watching NBA and college basketball, particularly her favorite KU Jayhawks.
Vada previously resided in Hutchinson and Burrton and worked at several different cafes and restaurants, including the Hutchinson Town Club. She also worked at R.L. Polk for many years and gained cherished friends from the hours spent in those workplaces.
She was preceded by her parents, Florence and Olda Lieurance, brothers Verle and Ervin Lieurance and many other treasured family members.
Per her final wishes, a private family service was held and she was laid to rest in the Greenwood Cemetery in Eureka. Memorials may be sent to the Kansas Humane Society or the charity of your choice in her honor.
