Mavis and her twin were the middle children out of 11. Mavis grew up in West-central Nebraska and graduated from High School in Albion Nebraska in 1951. She rented a room from a lady in Albion while in high school, only seeing her family a weekend or two each month. In Albion, Mavis worked at a local restaurant as a server. It was there that she met Jerome V. Klassen. As they say, the rest is history. The two married in January, 1952. Jerome & Mavis had 7 children, Diana, Julie, Jerry, Mike, Chris, Rob & Marty. Those children generously gifted Mavis & Jerome with 26 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren Mavis enjoyed being a mom, wife and Grandmother. She was very involved with her children. Mavis never missed an opportunity to play baseball, kickball, monopoly etc. She also loved music and dancing, especially to Family tradition. Mavis’ life was centered around her husband, her children, grandchildren and serving others. Mavis & Jerry were married for 60 years and truly enjoyed being together. She enjoyed anything that involved family, music and dancing. Klassen Christmas was an annual celebration of family held every summer for 30+ years. She enjoyed gardening and had a prolific green thumb. Mavis’ work life included several years of caring for children and the elderly. She worked at Regency Care Center in South Sioux City for many years and at Cardinal Elementary. She volunteered for Hospice, her church, and was a member of the Catholic Daughters. Mavis also was a cub scout leader and a girl scout leader. Mavis would say her greatest accomplishment was being married to Jerome for 60+ years to see her children grow up and be successful, caring adults raising children of their own. The saddest day of her life was when her one true love passed in December of 2012. Her life changed forever on that day. Her advice to others would include “Love One Another, Set Your Dreams High, Explore the World, Don’t Forget to Stop & Smell the Roses.” Preceded by: Husband: Jerome Klassen Parents: Ora & Sylvia Bahr Brothers: Lyle, Max (her twin) and Ernie Bahr Sisters: Wanda Teet, Betty Carter and Mrytle Lugsch Grandson: Ben Jarose Great-grandson: Zachary Ruhr Son-in-law: Wayne Langemeier Survived by Children: Diana Langemeier, Julie Jarose, Chris (Bill) Larsen, Jerry (Marcia) Klassen, Mike (Jackie) Klassen, Rob Klassen and Marty Klassen 23 grandchildren and 26 great grandchildren Brothers: Rex Bahr and Wayne Bahr Sisters: Ruby Munkel and Phyllis Buzzelle Reichmuth Funeral Home March 2020
