Elizabeth Fangman, 93, of Seneca, KS, died late Saturday, July 8, 2000, at Country View Estates Care Home in Seneca. She had been a resident there since October 7, 1997.

She was born October 12, 1906, on a farm northeast of Seneca, the daughter of Clarence and Johanna Hurley Morton. She attended at St. Mary’s School in St. Benedict, KS, and boarded there with the nuns due to the difficult traveling conditions in those times. Elizabeth graduated from Sts. Peter & Paul High School in Seneca in 1926 and began work as a sales lady at the Florence Ann Shoppe selling women’s clothing.

She married Carl Fangman on August 27, 1927, at Sts. Peter & Paul Church in Seneca. Her husband, Carl, died June 16, 1972. They lived on the Frank Fangman farm west of Seneca for three years before purchasing their farm just west of Seneca. In 1965 they retired and moved into Seneca.

She was a member of Sts. Peter & Paul Church, St. Ann’s Altar Society at the church, the Loyal Christian Benevolent Association, and the Nemaha County Historical Society, all in Seneca.

Survivors are a son, James Fangman of St. Clair Shores, MI, a daughter, Myrtle L. Huerter of Manhattan, KS; and five grandchildren.

Besides her husband, she was preceded in death by a son, Carlton “Buzz” Fangman on November 24, 1995, and a daughter, Phyllis J. Fangman on April 6, 2000.

Mass of Christian burial will be 10:30 AM Thursday at Sts. Peter & Paul Church in Seneca. Burial will be in the church cemetery. A vigil prayer service will be held at 7 PM Wednesday at Lauer Funeral Home in Seneca.
