Melinda Lang, 96, Hays, died Tuesday, May 5, 2020 surrounded by her family at Via Christi Village.
She was born October 5, 1923 on the family farm near Ellis, Kansas, one of six children to Nick and Lidwina (Kuhn) Geist.
On May 20, 1946 she was united in marriage to Clarence Lang at St. Fidelis Church in Victoria, and they celebrated nearly 69 years of marriage before he preceded her in death on March 23, 2015.
She was a member of St. Nicholas of Myra Catholic Church, Daughters of Isabella Circle #254, the St. Nicholas Ladies Guild, and was on the Ellis County Election board where she served as Election Chair. She helped her husband Clarence with all the farm chores, including milking the cows, raising chickens, tending to her beautiful flowers, and canning vegetables grown in her garden.
Melinda was an excellent gardener, seamstress, cook, and baker, and she enjoyed playing pinochle and shopping for clothes. She was very devout in her faith, was the one her family came to with prayer intentions, and she possessed a kind and gentle nature that she shared with everyone she met. She loved her family and friends deeply, and so enjoyed caring for and spending time with her grandchildren.
