Obituary- Meenen, Joann 2

Her husband of nearly 69 years, Donald Wayne Meenen preceded her in death in 2019. She was also preceded in death by her parents, Warren V. and Bertha McNeal Heusted; brother, Warren V. Heusted, Jr; brother-in-law, Col. Raymond E. Morris; son-in-law, Randy Brown; foster son, Bill West.

She loved cooking and baking for her family. “Can Grandma bring her rolls?” was a frequent comment from her grandchildren. Planting and tending to a garden and flower beds also brought her great joy. Family gatherings were opportunities to prepare and share a feast lovingly prepared. After moving to Topeka, she remained active caring for the combined household which included an active four year old great grandson, Kaden. Attending grandchildren activities was a favorite pastime. She was very proud and supportive of all her children and their families.

She was a regular contributor to the community newspaper, as she enjoyed writing and recording the family events as they occurred. Her birthday cards always included a special personal written message. Many days when she could no longer do the cooking and baking, she could be found in her chair reading her Kindle book, watching Hallmark movies and Royals baseball in season, and don’t forget Wheel of Fortune.

She was baptized on Easter Sunday of 1946 at First Methodist Church in Clay Center. After moving to Clifton, she was actively involved in her church, Clifton Presbyterian Church teaching Sunday School, participating with Don in the Mariner’s group, and singing in the choir. She was a member of the Lutheran church in Greenleaf serving on the altar committee and assisting with fellowship activities. After moving to Topeka, she became of member of the Rossville Methodist Church. She could be counted on to always have some “goodies” to share.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be given to Avalon Hospice, Visiting Angels or Rossville Methodist Church in care of Piper Funeral Home.

Services will be held at Rossville Methodist Church on Saturday, February 12th at 2:00 p.m. Masks will be required at the church. Inurnment will be at a later date in Riverdale Cemetery at Clifton, Kansas.
