Beverly Wiens
1954 - 2018
Obituary
Beverly Ann Wiens, 63, passed away
Tuesday (Sept. 18, 2018) at her home in Newton.
Beverly was born on Dec. 6, 1954, to
Donald and Marjorie (Mosiman) Lewis in Newton. She attended Newton
schools and was a graduate of the class of 1973 at Newton High
School.
Beverly married Gerry Wiens on Oct. 24,
1992, in Halstead. They were married for 25 years prior to her
passing.
She liked to "latch hook,"
cook, participate in aqua therapy with Kidron Bethel and enjoy her
sister's chocolate chip cookies. She was determined and a "little"
bit feisty.
Beverly had a long-term illness that
had left her wheelchair bound for the last 20 years. Through it all,
she remained upbeat, never gave up and expected to be healed. As the
scripture states: "I have fought the good fight, I have finished
the race, I have kept the faith..." 2 Timothy 4:7 (NASB).
Beverly exemplified this word through
her illness and life.
She is survived by husband, Gerry
Wiens; children: Sherry Smith, Mike Smith and Kristi Flaming; sister,
Marilyn Ashcraft; and eight grandchildren: Kaitlin Rutschman, Chris
Rutschman, Logan Ochoa, Gavin Ochoa, Allison Reimer, Zach Smith, Mia
Smith and Emily Flaming.
She was preceded in death by her
parents, Donald and Marjorie Lewis.
Funeral services are scheduled for 10
a.m. Monday (Sept. 24, 2018) at First Missionary Church of Newton. A
public visitation will be held from 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday (Sept. 23,
2018) at Petersen Funeral Home. The family will be present from 2 to
4 p.m. to greet friends and family. A committal service will be held
at the First Missionary Church Cemetery in rural Elbing following the
service.
The family has suggested the following
memorial fund: First Missionary Church Building Fund, First
Missionary Church, 1300 Berry Ave., Newton, KS 67114.
