June 24, 1982 ~ January 27, 2023 (age 40)

Hanna Elizabeth (Casad) Townley was born June 24, 1982 in Hays, KS. She passed away at the age of 40 on Friday, January 27, 2023 in Lincoln KS. 

She was the daughter of Cheryl (Iwanski) Casad and Andrew Casad. 

Hanna was a graduate of Stockton High School, Stockton KS, class of 2001 and furthered her education at Fort Hays State University where she received an associate’s degree in office technology. 

Hanna met Chad Townley her sophomore year in college, 2002, and they were married March 18, 2007 at the Monte Carlo Resort in Las Vegas, NV. Hanna and Chad have a son, Hunter, who was born on October 18, 2010. Hunter was always the apple of her eye. 

She was a resident of Lincoln, where she worked at Lincoln County Courthouse and most recently at the Bank of Tescott.

Hanna was a beautiful soul always wearing a smile, quiet but bubbly and spoke the sweetest words. She enjoyed watching her son, Hunter, grow up and in all of his activities, spending time at the race track, hunting and fishing with Chad and Hunter and anyone else they could bring along. They were a family that loved just being together. She had a love for Boston Terriers and Sadie was her pride and joy, here’s to one last “Sadie Come.” 

Hanna was the best mom, wife and friend. She was loved by everyone and loved everyone she came in contact with. She always wanted everyone to be happy. Always prepared with snacks and drinks so no one would go hungry or thirsty. Bottled water was the drink of choice. She was always prepared for everything and volunteered to clean and even steam clean the carpets. She enjoyed being outside, mowing the lawn, taking care of her flowers and had a love-hate relationship with her community garden. Hanna loved teasing all she loved from her “sch-weetie pie’s” and joking about the gorilla tape keeping a shoe together. She always had a one-liner or zinger to keep you on your toes.

<a href="https://www.jostfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Millie-Friesen?obId=27174472#/obituaryInfo">https://www.jostfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Millie-Friesen?obId=27174472#/obituaryInfo</a>

Mildred (Millie) Jean Brenner Friesen was born on the family farm outside of Woodbine, KS on June 15, 1925 to William and Lillian Tiemann Brenner.

Along with her older brother, Warren, Millie attended a Dickinson County District # 1 rural school north of town through the 8th grade. In 1942 Millie graduated from Woodbine High School as valedictorian of her class.

Possessing a sensitive heart to spiritual things, Millie came to faith in Jesus as a young girl and participated faithfully with her family in the life of Mt. Zion Baptist Church. The Lord gave Millie a wonderful gift for music and she developed into a very skilled pianist. At the age of 13, Millie won second place in a statewide piano competition for 13 through 19-year-olds. One day when the Tabor College Choir under the direction of Herbert C. Richert sang at a nearby church, Millie was so deeply moved that she decided to attend Tabor where she enrolled in the fall of 1942.

At Tabor Millie immersed herself in music, singing and playing the piano for various musical groups. She also caught the eye of a young Nebraskan, Harry Friesen, who courted her and then proposed to her on the same day that Harry’s older brother Lee proposed to his wife-to-be, Martha. During Millie’s three years at Tabor, she earned a two-year associate of arts degree and then enrolled in more Bible classes during her third year. After Harry’s graduation, they were married at the First Baptist Church in Durham, KS on June 1, 1945.

In the fall of 1945 Millie and Harry moved to Dallas, TX where Harry began studies at Dallas Theological Seminary, while Millie served as secretary for the seminary’s business manager, Dr. C. Fred Lincoln. During those years, the Lord called both Harry and Millie into full-time missionary service. Daughter Marilyn Jean was born in August of 1948. After Harry graduated in 1949, he and Millie applied with the Mennonite Brethren foreign mission board and were assigned to service in postwar Japan. To prepare for missionary work, Millie and Harry served in a one-year pastorate in Scotts Bluff, NE from 1949 to 1950. After son Stephen Samuel was born in September 1950, Millie, Marilyn, and he joined Harry in Berkeley, CA for an intensive four-month Japanese language study course in the fall of 1950.

In March of 1951 Millie and Harry set sail for Japan where they raised their family and faithfully served the Lord for 42 years in in the Osaka area. Millie gave herself to diligently nurturing and caring for her children. Second son Billy was born in Osaka in December of 1951, but died shortly after birth, adding to the sorrow of Millie’s loss of her father, William, who went to be with the Lord in July of that year. Daughters Grace Ann and Joyce Elizabeth were born in Japan in 1953 and 1954. Son Philip James was born on a furlough in Kansas in 1957, and daughter Deborah Lea, was born back in Japan in 1960.

As missionaries, Millie and Harry were a wonderful team. They served together in church planting, seminary teaching, and university student evangelism. Along the way, Millie also taught piano and organ lessons to pastors' wives, discipled countless young ladies, and used her cooking skills to reach neighborhood women for Christ. In one of her favorite ministries, Millie invested her time and piano skills over the course of many decades in the Osaka Women’s Luncheon outreach, where she accompanied the women’s chorus in the twice-a-year elegant gospel outreach event that was attended by thousands.

After retiring to Kansas in 1992, Millie and Harry enjoyed life and gardening in their country home near Marion Reservoir. Their roomy house had plenty of space for hosting fun family gatherings. Millie and Harry also took time to travel and visit their children and grandchildren. They plugged into serving and fellowshipping at Parkview MB Church, and loved attending Tabor College sporting events to watch their grandkids play. Millie used her gift of hospitality to host Tabor College students for dinners, mentoring sessions, and Bible studies. She also participated in women’s ministry and the MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) Program at Parkview Church.

After Harry’s passing in 2009 following 63 years of marriage, Millie eventually moved into Parkside Homes, where she savored life in her duplex for five years. In 2017 she entered her skilled nursing unit room at Parkside for six additional years. Millie was loved by her caregivers, and was known for her kindness and sweetness, as well as her prayers for them, often verbalized quite loudly in the middle of the night. She was relatively healthy and mobile until the day she died.

Millie passed peacefully into the presence of her Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ, at the age of 97 in the early morning hours of Thursday, January 26, 2023. 

She is survived by her six children and their spouses: Marilyn and Ken Fast of Hillsboro, KS; Steve and Bobbie Friesen of Newton, KS; Grace and Eldon Steele of Tyler, TX; Joyce and Jim Herrington of Tyler, TX; Phil and Susan Friesen of Ashburn, VA; and Debbie and Bill Phillips of Rowlett, TX. Millie also is survived by 16 grandchildren, 27 great-grandchildren, cousin Bettie Batt of Marion, KS, brother-in-law Dwaine Friesen of Fairbury, NE, and many nieces and nephews. 

She was predeceased by her parents, her half-brother Paul Brenner; brother Warren Brenner; her husband Harry; son Billy; grandson Ryan Steele; and great-grandson, Gabe Friesen.

Millie’s memorial service will be held on Saturday, February 18, 2023 at Parkview MB Church in Hillsboro, KS at 11:00 a.m., following a graveside service at 10:00 a.m. at Marion Cemetery.

A memorial fund has been designated to Multiply (formerly Mennonite Brethren Missions/Services) for ministry in Japan. Memorial gifts may be made out to “Multiply” with “Millie Friesen memorial” in the memo line and sent in care of: Jost Funeral Home, P.O. Box 266, Hillsboro, KS 67063.

After Harry graduated in 1949, he and Millie applied with the Mennonite Brethren foreign mission board and were assigned to service in postwar Japan. To prepare for missionary work, Millie and Harry served in a one-year pastorate in Scotts Bluff, NE from 1949 to 1950. After son Stephen Samuel was born in September 1950, Millie, Marilyn, and he joined Harry in Berkeley, CA for an intensive four-month Japanese language study course in the fall of 1950.In March of 1951 Millie and Harry set sail for Japan where they raised their family and faithfully served the Lord for 42 years in in the Osaka area. Millie gave herself to diligently nurturing and caring for her children. Second son Billy was born in Osaka in December of 1951, but died shortly after birth, adding to the sorrow of Millie’s loss of her father, William, who went to be with the Lord in July of that year. Daughters Grace Ann and Joyce Elizabeth were born in Japan in 1953 and 1954. Son Philip James was born on a furlough in Kansas in 1957, and daughter Deborah Lea, was born back in Japan in 1960.As missionaries, Millie and Harry were a wonderful team. They served together in church planting, seminary teaching, and university student evangelism. Along the way, Millie also taught piano and organ lessons to pastors' wives, discipled countless young ladies, and used her cooking skills to reach neighborhood women for Christ. In one of her favorite ministries, Millie invested her time and piano skills over the course of many decades in the Osaka Women’s Luncheon outreach, where she accompanied the women’s chorus in the twice-a-year elegant gospel outreach event that was attended by thousands.After retiring to Kansas in 1992, Millie and Harry enjoyed life and gardening in their country home near Marion Reservoir. Their roomy house had plenty of space for hosting fun family gatherings. Millie and Harry also took time to travel and visit their children and grandchildren. They plugged into serving and fellowshipping at Parkview MB Church, and loved attending Tabor College sporting events to watch their grandkids play. Millie used her gift of hospitality to host Tabor College students for dinners, mentoring sessions, and Bible studies. She also participated in women’s ministry and the MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) Program at Parkview Church.After Harry’s passing in 2009 following 63 years of marriage, Millie eventually moved into Parkside Homes, where she savored life in her duplex for five years. In 2017 she entered her skilled nursing unit room at Parkside for six additional years. Millie was loved by her caregivers, and was known for her kindness and sweetness, as well as her prayers for them, often verbalized quite loudly in the middle of the night. She was relatively healthy and mobile until the day she died.Millie passed peacefully into the presence of her Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ, at the age of 97 in the early morning hours of Thursday, January 26, 2023. She is survived by her six children and their spouses: Marilyn and Ken Fast of Hillsboro, KS; Steve and Bobbie Friesen of Newton, KS; Grace and Eldon Steele of Tyler, TX; Joyce and Jim Herrington of Tyler, TX; Phil and Susan Friesen of Ashburn, VA; and Debbie and Bill Phillips of Rowlett, TX. Millie also is survived by 16 grandchildren, 27 great-grandchildren, cousin Bettie Batt of Marion, KS, brother-in-law Dwaine Friesen of Fairbury, NE, and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents, her half-brother Paul Brenner; brother Warren Brenner; her husband Harry; son Billy; grandson Ryan Steele; and great-grandson, Gabe Friesen.Millie’s memorial service will be held on Saturday, February 18, 2023 at Parkview MB Church in Hillsboro, KS at 11:00 a.m., following a graveside service at 10:00 a.m. at Marion Cemetery.A memorial fund has been designated to Multiply (formerly Mennonite Brethren Missions/Services) for ministry in Japan.

Hulda Schrag, 88, passed away on Jan. 19, 2023. Hulda was born on May 13, 1934 in Marion County, Kansas, the daughter of David F. and Mary (Flaming) Voth. Hulda married John LeRoy Schrag on October 26, 1954 at Tabor Mennonite Church. Hulda prioritized her faith, marriage, family, and church community. She loved keeping in touch with each of her kids, and especially delighted in staying connected with the grandkids on their many adventures. In 1980, she began her career as a registered nurse, and enjoyed being able to use her skills and knowledge to help others. Neighbors and friends could count on her to be compassionate, kind, and supportive when in need of assistance to get through a rough patch. Driven to excel, when she gardened, it was a huge plot, a plentiful harvest, and a busy canning season. When she baked, it was dozens of dozens of zwieback or cinnamon rolls. When she sewed, it was entire outfits - school clothes for the kids, 3-piece suits for her husband, curtains all around, and later, quilts for all the beds in Schrag homes, college dorms, first apartments, etc. Along with her husband John, those remaining to celebrate her life include her children Connie, Oris (Kathy), James (MaryBeth), Steve (Marsha), and grandchildren Allison (Ky), Liz (Matt), Nik, Amy, Kelli, and Adam. Hulda is also survived by her brother Elmer (Lynne) Voth, and sister Darlene Schroeder. Hulda was preceded in death by her parents; and sisters Esther Unruh, Wilma Schmidt, Alice Duerksen, and infant sister Betty. A Celebration of Life service will be at 4:00 p.m., Saturday, February 11, 2023 at Faith Mennonite Church, 2100 N. Anderson Ave, Newton.

Memorial gifts may be made to Kidron Bethel, in care of Miller-Ott Funeral Home, P.O. Box 32, Hesston, Kan., 67062.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Albert Gene Gaeddert died Saturday, January 28, 2023 at Pleasant View Nursing Home in Inman, KS. Albert was born September 10, 1929 to David R. And Elizabeth (Franz) Gaeddert. Albert went to Lakeside Grade School and graduated from Buhler High School in 1947.

After graduation, he was employed by Richards-Scheble Candy Co. in Hutchinson as a salesman for three years. 

He then met Nola Marie Herman and they were married August 12,1951 at Hoffnungsau Mennonite Church. 

In 1952, Albert and Nola moved to the farm southeast of Buhler. Albert began working as a finish carpenter for Jayhawk Realty Company in Hutchinson and continued for 30 years making beautiful custom cabinetry. He also raised wheat, alfalfa, prairie hay, and other crops, while maintaining a herd of cattle and various other farm animals over the years. 

His daughter Jan Louise was born in 1953, followed by Shirley Ann in September 1955. Although Albert’s carpentry and farm work took a lot of his time, he always made time to take the family on a summer vacation, often trips to Colorado and the west. Albert was very conservative, but about every two years he would purchase a new car! Albert and Nola were both members of the Buhler Mennonite Church. Albert served as a trustee, an usher, and on the social committee. They both volunteered many years at The Mennonite Relief sale and donated many of Nola’s wood carvings. Albert also served on the Little River Township Board for two terms. Albert retired in 1990, sold the farmhouse and moved to Hutchinson. For about 20 years Albert and Nola traveled to Phoenix, Arizona in the winter months to enjoy the weather and spend time with Nola’s sister and others. Albert enjoyed playing a little golf with friends after retirement. In 2002 they moved to the Pleasant View Estates in Inman.
