DORIS REGIER
1932 - 2018
Obituary
Doris Louise Regier, rural Newton and
Kidron Bethel, was born on May 22, 1932, in Newton to Titus and
Elizabeth (Winey) Horst. Doris grew up on a farm in the Highland
community north of Newton and graduated from Newton High School in
1950. Doris graduated from the Bethel Nursing program in 1955 as a
Registered Nurse.
She was baptized in the First Church of
the Nazarene, Newton, and was a member of Zion Mennonite Church in
Elbing. Doris met Menno Regier in Kansas City and they were married
on April 1, 1957, making their home on a farm in rural Newton.
Doris loved nursing and balanced
various nursing positions with that of being a homemaker. She enjoyed
entertaining her grandchildren and in particular looked forward to
summer harvest when all the grandchildren would come to the farm to
"help" with wheat harvest. Doris also enjoyed sewing and
was an avid reader.
She is survived by two sons, Myron and
wife Lori of Haysville and James and wife Debra of Whitewater. Doris
had six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her
husband, Menno; three brothers; and two sisters.
Visitation will be held from 3 to 5

Memorial Service will be 11 a.m. Monday (April 16, 2018) at Zion
Mennonite Church in Elbing. Private family burial will be at Zion
Mennonite Cemetery.
Memorials are suggested to the Bethel
College Nursing Program and may be sent to Petersen Funeral Home, 215
N. Main, Newton, KS 67114.
