She is survived by her three sons and their spouses: Mike Pankratz (Cynthia) of Vashon, Wash., Tim Pankratz (Martha) of Tuscon, Ariz., and Randy Pankratz (Charlotte) of Newton; by grandchildren Ben Oleson of Seattle, Mary and Michael Pankratz of Tucson, and Lily Pankratz of Topeka, by sisters, Charyl Strandt of Milwaukie, Ore., Myrna Lucas of Johnson, Kan., and Delva Butts of Mulvane; and one brother, Ercel Close of Kingsdown, Kan. She was predeceased in 1990 by her husband of 47 years, Waldo C. Pankratz, by a grandson, Timothy Pankratz, by sisters, Nettie Hanner and Leone Reazin, and by brothers, Lenes Close and Leon Close. Josephine was born November 7, 1918 in Ford County, Kan. She grew up on a farm with eight brothers and sisters, and there learned principles of family love, faith, and usefulness that guided her life. She met her husband, Waldo, in 1940, when both were school teachers in Kingsdown. They were married March 28, 1942. Together, their lives were devoted to one another and to family, and they made a happy home for their three sons. Josephone worked as a school librarian, a teacher, and a homemaker. After Waldo died in 1990, following a long illness, she turned her caring energy back toward family and friends, old and new, and tried never to let a day pass without doing something to help or encourage someone else. She sustained others in times of discouragement and grief. She grew vegetables and prepared meals that dazzled her family and friends. She seemed kind, unselfish, loving, and effective in everything she undertook. Her family and friends will miss her, and will always carry with them the memory of her bright and loving nature. Visitation is 1-9 p.m. Friday with family greeting friends 5-7 p.m. at Peterson Funeral Home, Newton. A memorial service will be held Saturday, October 16, at 11 a.m. at Faith Mennonite Church, 2100 N. Anderson, Newton. Published in The Wichita Eagle on October 15, 2010
