Sandra (Fisher) Oakley, of Hays, 
Kansas, an amazing wife, mother, and grandma, passed away on March 19, 
2020 at the age of 71.&nbsp; She was surrounded in life, and during her 
transition to heaven, by her loving family.

Sandra will reunite with some of her 
loved ones that went on before her, including her parents Bud and Betty 
Lou Fisher, brother Randy Fisher, and many other family members that 
were so important in her life.&nbsp; Although she loved her life on earth, 
her faith in God gave her the confidence that she would one day be able 
to wrap her arms around her parents again.&nbsp; She made such a huge impact 
on the lives of those around her, the grand entrance into the eternal 
Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, this must have been a sight
 to see.

Sandra “Grandma Sandy”, is survived by 
an amazing family that loves her dearly.&nbsp; She is survived by her loving 
husband and best friend of 50 years, Wes Oakley, their 5 children, 18 
grandchildren, and 1 great grandchild: Melanie and Kelly Petz of Hays, 
and their four children and one grandson; Nathan, Nick and fiancé 
Kaylin, Kallynn, and Kameron and grandson Easton; Melissa and Greg 
Ballard of Leawood, KS and their three children; Gregory, Alexis, and 
Kaylee; Lindsey and Edward McCray of Maricopa, AZ, and their three 
children; Jade, Italy, and Caleb; Christin and Tim Nunnery of Hays, and 
their four children; Isaiah and girlfriend Carli, Ethan and girlfriend 
Jaycee, Tasiah, and TJ; Seth and Brandi Oakley of Hays, and their four 
children; Wesley, Jaycee, Trey, and Taryn.&nbsp; She is also survived by her 
brother Barry and Stacey Fisher of Pratt, and their four children; 
Brett, Brooke, Steve, and Sam, her brother Randy’s children; Jamie, 
Molly, and Cody.&nbsp; “Aunt Sandra” loved these families with all her heart,
 and they absolutely adored her.

Sandra was born on August 1, 1948 in 
McPherson, Kansas.&nbsp; Her family moved to Lakin, Kansas just prior to her 
starting high school, and this is where she met the love of her life, 
Wes Oakley.&nbsp; The two both completed their college degrees in education 
from Fort Hays State University.&nbsp; Sandra was a fourth grade teacher in 
Stockton, Kansas.&nbsp; She became the greatest Pastor’s wife in America, as 
she stood by her husband Wes’ side through 40 years of ministry, most of
 the time here in Hays at Westview Church.&nbsp; Her role as a wife, a 
mother, a grandma, an aunt, a sister, and a friend will continue to 
impact lives for years to come.&nbsp; Sandra loved to help and encourage 
everyone, and she loved this community and her Westview Church family.&nbsp; 
Her heart was always to bless others, often creating gift bags or snack 
bags for local youth sports teams.&nbsp; Most recently before heading to the 
hospital, she placed a very large and expensive Amazon order so that she
 could once again be a blessing to others in this community.&nbsp; While in 
the hospital, Wes just smiled as he imagined what all those new Amazon 
charges could be for.&nbsp; Upon returning home, Wes and kids opened the 
boxes to see that she had ordered graduation gifts for several young 
graduates, and lots of snacks for the youth ministry groups at Westiview
 Church.

Sandra will be missed and never 
forgotten.&nbsp; We are comforted by our shared faith in God, that this isn’t
 the end of our time with Sandra.&nbsp; Her impact while on this earth was 
significant, and we will all miss our daily interactions with her.

A private family service to celebrate 
her life will be at 10:30 am on Tuesday, March 24, 2020 at Westview 
Church, with Pastor Charles Mendenhall officiating. &nbsp;The service will be
 streamed live for the public on the Westview Church YouTube channel. 
&nbsp;Private family burial will be in Fort Hays Memorial Gardens Cemetery.&nbsp; A
 public celebration and dinner will be scheduled and announced at a 
later date.&nbsp; In lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested to Westview 
Church R3 Youth Group, in care of Hays Memorial Chapel Funeral Home, 
1906 Pine Street, Hays, Kansas.&nbsp; Condolences and memories of Sandra may 
be shared with the family at www.haysmemorial.com&nbsp;

Joseph “Van Earl” Charvat, age 87 of Ellsworth, passed away on Friday, 
March 13, 2020 at the Good Samaritan Village in Ellsworth. Van was born 
on January 5, 1933 to Joseph and Josephine (Lilak) Charvat in Dorrance, 
Kansas. He grew up in the Russell County area but attended Dorrance High
 School, graduating with the class of 1951. Following High School he 
attended Fort Hays State where he earned his bachelors degree. He then 
went to serve our nation faithfully in the United States Naval Air Force
 for 20 years. After Van retired from the Navy he moved to Derby, Kansas
 where he worked as an engineer at Boeing Aircraft Company until his 
retirement in 1994. Van moved back to Wilson where he spent the majority
 of his remaining years.


Van was a spiritual man, his passion was leading others to find our 
Lord and Savior. He was a devout christian and proud of his faith. 


He was a successful organic farmer for 5 years. He enjoyed his 
lunches at Made From Scratch daily, loved his family and the times he 
was able to spend with them.


The Psalmist David said, “The Lord is my strength and my shield; my 
heart trusts in Him.”  Van was a man of strong faith who trusted every 
aspect of his life to the hands of his Lord.  Although we love and miss 
him greatly, we rejoice that the strength and protection Jesus gave him 
is no longer needed, for now his trust has found fulfillment in the same
 loving hands that have now carried him home.


Van is survived by his daughter, Theresa (Joe) Powell of Augusta, 
GA; sister, Mary Jo Babcock of Denton, TX; daughter-in-law, Melanie 
Charvat of St. Louis, MO; and six grandchildren, Olivia, Julia, and 
Broughton Powell, and Melissa, Caleb, and Jon Thomas Charvat.


He is preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Josephine Charvat; son, Robert Charvat; and a brother-in-law, Warren Babcock.


Private family graveside service has been decided upon due to the 
current COVID-19 outbreak. A Memorial Mass will be held at a later 
date and open to the public.


Memorials have been suggested to the KPRD Radio, the St. Wenceslaus 
Catholic Cemetery or the Good Samaritan Society – Ellsworth Village and 
may be sent in care of Plumer Overlease Funeral Home, PO BOX 533, 
Wilson, KS 67490.
