Lois Huebert
Obituary
Lois Faye Huebert, 96, of Halstead,
died peacefully on Wednesday (Feb. 7, 2018) after a long and
wonderful life.
She is survived by her sister, Mary
Beth in California; and many nieces, nephews (and their children) and
a large, extended family.
She was preceded in death by her
sister, Polly Murray; her parents; and many dear relatives and
friends.
Lois had a remarkable life. She was
born and raised in Halstead, graduating from Halstead High School in
1939.
She worked as a kindergarten teacher in
California before going to school at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester,
Minnesota, to become a physical therapist. From there, she worked
with children suffering from polio for many years, moving around the
country with the epidemic. She then settled back in Wichita and
worked at the Institute for Logopedics, specializing in treatment of
cerebral palsy until her retirement in 1985.
She was loved by patients and their
families, and kept relationships with them for decades. After
retiring, she returned to Halstead, where she was close to her
sister, Polly, and was very active in the community. She was a
founding member of the Halstead Historical Society, volunteered at
the Halstead Hospital and was always busy helping friends and
neighbors.
She had many adventures in her life,
including rafting down the Grand Canyon and traveling international
to Venezuela, Aruba and Holland. Lois led an exemplary life and will
be greatly missed by her family and many friends.
Cremation has taken place and a
memorial service will be scheduled for a later date.
Memorials may be given to the Halstead
Historical Society or Halstead Bible Fellowship in care of Kaufman
Funeral Home, Halstead.
