He left for college at Kansas State in the fall, and they corresponded until reuniting at Christmas. Thoran was called to active duty in World War II in February of 1943 and was station in England. After the war, they married in Lewis on April 21, 1946, and started their farming operation. To that union two sons were born. On January 2, 1967, Thoran died after a long battle with cancer.

She farmed with her husband, was a homemaker, and later worked in Lewis as an office clerk at Cross Manufacturing until her retirement. Norma lived in Lewis until moving to Larned in 2009, where she lived independently until her health began failing in 2016. She then became a resident of Country Place Senior Living until the time of her death.

At Lewis, she was a member of the Lewis United Methodist Church, Women’s Society of Christian Service, an extension unit, Northside Coffee Club, and several bridge clubs. She was a proud member of the President’s Club of the Kansas State University Ahearn Fund. She attended church at the Larned United Methodist Church.

Juanita Mae Gillaspie, 88, went to be with the Lord October 28,
2020, at Mennonite Friendship Communities, in South Hutchinson. She was
born&nbsp;April 7, 1932, in Haviland, KS, to Dwight B. and Vida Mae (Jennings)
Hardy.

Juanita graduated from Pratt High School in 1949 and in 1952,
graduated from Southwestern College in Winfield, KS with an Education Degree in
Home Economics. There she met Joe Martin Gillaspie. They were married on June
1, 1952, at the Pratt United Methodist Church. They celebrated 68 years of
marriage.

Juanita enjoyed reading, sewing, crocheting, painting, traveling,
photography and scrapbooking. She not only taught school, but also helped with
local school activities and sporting events with Joe. She enjoyed family
gatherings, devoting special attention to her grandchildren.

A life-long member of the United Methodist Church, she served in a
wide array of leadership positions within each local church she joined,
including teaching Sunday School classes and volunteering in various roles in United
Methodist Women. Juanita was elected by the United Methodist Church to be one
of eight lay representatives for the 200,000 members of Kansas at four
different General Conferences and elected as Kansas West Representative for
seven Jurisdictional Conferences. She chaired the conference council for six
years and the sessions planning committee. She represented the Rozel United
Methodist Church at the Kansas West Annual Conference for over 30 years.

Juanita was a 50+ year member of Family Community Education and
held leadership positions in seven counties, as well as Kansas State President,
National Program Coordinator, National Treasurer, and President of the National
FCE Alumni Association.&nbsp;&nbsp;She represented Kansas at the Associated
Country Women’s of the World Congress, once in Kansas City, MO in 1989 and the
second time in 1995 when she and Joe traveled to Christ Church, New Zealand.
Juanita was also honored by the Kansas State FCE as Extraordinary Women for
2008.

Because piano was one of her passions, she taught piano to young
boys and girls for many years in her home. She accompanied both vocal and
instrumental soloists at music contests and performances at church. Juanita and
Naomi Converse provided special music for holidays and special occasions to members
of the Rozel United Methodist Church for many years with their piano-organ
duets. Several of her former students have become musicians in their own
churches and communities.

Joe and Juanita moved to Rozel in 1969 and stayed 45 years. Due to
health reasons they relocated to South Hutchinson, KS where she lived out her
last few years.

Juanita&nbsp;is survived by: her husband, Joe; children:&nbsp; Jim
(Barbara) Gillaspie&nbsp;of Hutchinson, KS,&nbsp;Judy Gillaspie of Tulsa, OK,&nbsp;Jeff (Jeanie) Gillaspie&nbsp;of Grand Junction, CO;&nbsp;grandsons Joel (Laurie) Gillaspie, Michael Gillaspie,
Albert (Kritika) McClure, Chad (Lori) Scates; great-grandchildren, Emilee
Scates and Rumi McClure; and sister Janet Campbell.

Juanita was preceded in death by her parents.

Services will be announced at a later date. The family suggests
