Vivian Schill
Obituary
Vivian Ruth (Breising) Schill passed
away Wednesday (Feb. 3, 2016) from complications of Post Polio
Syndrome.
Kidron Bethel Health Care was caring
for her, with the added expertise of Serenity Hospice, providing
palliative care. She was born Dec. 14, 1926, in Newton to Fred and
Hazel (Thompson) Breising, and was raised in Whitewater.
Vivian married Bernard Richard (Dick)
Schill, Sr. on Nov. 26, 1946, in Wichita. They had seven daughters
and two sons. Vivian was preceded in death by her husband, one infant
daughter, her parents, and brother, John. She leaves behind her
children, Linda Tompkins (Carl), Peggy Ingram (Bill), Kim Fields
(Bob), Jean Lynch (Dwight), Kris Cooper (Rory), Laurie DelVecchio
(Lonny), her favorite child - Bernard Richard (Rick) Jr (Staci), and
Fred (Lara). Twenty grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren and two
on the way. Also, her sister-in-law, Betty Breising, and many nieces
and nephews.
Vivian loved to travel and was known to
visit with anyone - she seldom met a stranger. Her love of music,
family history, antiques, and long lost treasures found in Sand Creek
and abandoned farm houses, were shared with her children and
grandchildren...and she was always happy to pass along her infinite
wisdom. Gardening, visiting, tinkering or dog sitting "Bear",
added great enjoyment to her final years of living at her home. She
treasured her kids, their varied personalities, and was interested in
their lives- knowing favorite foods, books, pets, and hobbies. Her
final wish was to travel to KU School of Medicine, where she will
provide education in human anatomy and further their research.
Her family invites friends and family
to a celebration of her life from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Feb. 13 at Cross
Wind Camp and Conference Center - 8036 North Hoover Road Hesston,
Kansas 67062. Lunch will be served.
