Laura Bernice Janzen

Our dear mother, Laura Bernice Janzen was born on June 20, 1950, to Robert and Wilma (Brown) Jennings at Hutchinson, Kansas. She peacefully passed away in the evening of July 14, 2021. She attended schools in the Hutchinson community and graduated from Hutchinson High School in 1968. Mom was a very dedicated hard worker and had her own cleaning business for many years. She always made sure our house was a beautiful, comfortable home. We children joked that Hobby Lobby stayed in business because of her. Mom was a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. Praying for her family was important to her. Mom often expressed how she couldn’t wait to see that heavenly mansion. On October 28, 1983, she married Wayne A. Janzen. They enjoyed to the fullest 25 years of marriage with two children, Jennifer L. Meggers and C.W. Hurd. In 1993, they adopted a two year old girl, Ginger L. Janzen. Living in a country home, Mom took great joy in her garden bed and helping Dad with his projects. After Dad’s passing, Mom moved to Pine Village independent living in 2012. Our mother never knew a stranger. She loved talking to anyone that crossed her path. She loved all her children and grandchildren, Mitchell, Charity, Cassandra and Joleta, and it will be felt for the rest of our lives. She especially took great joy in her great-granddaughter, Skarlyt. Left with fond memories are daughters, Jennifer L. Meggers of South Hutchinson, and Ginger L. Janzen of Inman; son, C.W. Hurd and his wife, Barbara of McPherson; four grandchildren and one great-granddaughter. Laura was preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Wilma Jennings; husband, Wayne A.
