Janzen, Anna Stutzman
February 23, 1950 - March 19, 2024
Anna Stutzman Janzen, passed away at age 74 on March 19th, 2024 surrounded by her family, friends, and neighbors in Newport News, Virginia.
Anna is survived by her husband of 28 years, Jay Milton Janzen; step-daughter Erika Janzen, Kaneohe HI; step-son Jacob (Tressy) Janzen, Arlington VA; granddaughter Alyssa (Adam) Picadura and great-daughter Addison Gail Picadura, Honolulu HI; sisters, Viola Stutzman, Arthur IL; Mary Ellen (Danny) Rowe, Louisville KY; Sarah (Virgil) Kauffman, Arthur IL; brothers, Willis Stutzman, Arthur IL; Paul (Carol) Stutzman, Arthur IL; and Nelson (Karen) Stutzman, Conrath WI; and, in-laws Lois (Lyle) Preheim, Freeman SD; Ruthanne (Leo) Heatwole, James Melvin Janzen, Carla (Sherwin) Jacobs all of Harrisonburg VA; Rebecca Becky (Jack) Fullmer, Nampa ID, Deanna (Marlo) Kauffman, Goshen IN; and Margaret (Mustapha) Abderrahmane, Oakland CA; along with a host of nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her nephew Justin Kauffman, and sister-in-law Betty (Willis) Stutzman.
Anna was born in Arthur, IL on February 23, 1950 to Mr. Levi W. and Mrs. Lydia D. (Yoder) Stutzman and happily grew up on a dairy farm. Her memories of helping on the farm gave her plenty of material for storytelling. Following her graduation from Arthur High School, she attended Rosedale Bible Institute in Irwin, OH, and then volunteered as part of the Mennonite Voluntary Service in Jackson, MS. After her term of service, she resided in Jackson to become a licensed Respiratory Technician. These skills and experiences helped support her through college at the Eastern Mennonite College in Harrisonburg, VA earning a degree in Elementary Education. She felt called to service as a teacher at the Warwick River Christian School in Newport News and her loving spirit, gentle voice, and infectious humor endeared her to hundreds of school children and their parents, giving her delight as a teaching professional.
She joined the Huntington Mennonite Church and found life-long Christian love and support from the congregation. Their encouragement helped her to pursue a degree in a Masters of Arts of Theological Studies (MATS) at Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary in Elkhart, IN. She faithfully used her new found knowledge and training for a life of service. This service included time as a youth minister at Warwick River Mennonite Church and as the Associate Pastor at Huntington Mennonite Church. She also served as a member with the Eastern District of the Virginia Mennonite Conference as well as VMC’s Faith and Life Commission. A highlight of her ministries was baptizing young girls when they came to Christian faith.
Anna was a very engaging, loving, and forgiving wife and friend. She was certainly courageous in undergoing a liver transplant in 2002. The 22 years since then gave her fulfillment in returning to the teaching profession and time to enter pastoral work. As a teacher, understanding her students and individualizing their learning experiences gave her special joy. Her ministry legacy will include what she believed was the participatory engagement of church members in the life of the church, especially in praise and worship. Her absence will be keenly felt.
Anna’s friendships kept her emotionally balanced through thick and thin, offering a listening ear, words of encouragement, and a shoulder to lean on when needed. These friendships were a source of strength and joy for her, helping her navigate the ups and downs of life with grace and resilience. Whether celebrating achievements or consoling each other during tough times, their bond was unbreakable and filled her heart with gratitude. She knew she was lucky to have such amazing friends by her side, and she cherished every moment spent with them.
Visitation is scheduled from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 13th, followed by a celebration of life at the Huntington Mennonite Church, Newport News, VA.
Memorial donations may be directed to the Huntington Mennonite Church or to the Warwick River Christian School.

Kauffmann, Lola Mildred Good
December 23, 1924 - February 15, 2024
Lola Mildred Kauffmann, 99, of Goshen, died Thursday, February 15, 2024 at Greencroft Healthcare.
She was born December 23, 1924 in Stanford, Illinois to Alvin and Bessie (Kaufman) Good. Lola grew up on farms in central Illinois with her parents and seven siblings. Family, farm, friends and church filled her life. From age 12, Lola felt a call to serve Christ and the church.
On May 23, 1946 she married Ivan J. Kauffmann who became a pastor, so she worked out her call as the wife of a pastor. Lola used her skills to teach Bible classes and children’s Sunday school classes. She participated in the Women’s Missionary and Service Commission, serving as Illinois state WMSC President for two years.
Lola and Ivan moved multiple times: rural Hopedale Illinois, suburban Lombard Illinois, Chicago Illinois, Tinley Park Illinois, and finally Goshen. Lola shared that moving to new locations was not always easy but “they were growing experiences in understanding myself, the world around me, and the church. I was often reminded of the verse in Isaiah 43.19 ‘Behold, I will do a new thing.’” Through the moves, she was active in Mennonite Churches: Hopedale MC, Lombard MC, Oak Park MC and most recently College Mennonite Church in Goshen. In 1989, Lola wrote “Simple living, responsibility and faith in God are my heritage and I am deeply grateful to God, my family and the Church.”
Lola always had some sewing or quilting project going. She sewed clothes, stuffed animals and quilts as gifts for grandchildren. Quilts were her passion, and she pieced and quilted those as well as wall hangings and comforters for family and for Mennonite Central Committee. Gardening was both a passion and a necessity, raising vegetables and fruit for her family of six children, as well as flowers for enjoyment and beauty.
Volunteering was a way of life for Lola. While living at Greencroft Goshen, she volunteered more than 3000 hours, including quilting, Library Committee, and serving evening meals in Manor IV.
She is survived by five children, Paul (Patti Borom) Kauffmann, Columbus, Georgia, John (Suzi Wilgus) Kauffmann, Knoxville, Tennessee, Mary (Jon) Kauffmann-Kennel, Elkhart, Ruth (Brian Roots) Kauffmann, Goshen, and James ( Deb Sawatsky) Kauffmann, Oak Grove, Minnesota; a daughter-in-law, Nancy Geiser Kauffmann, Goshen; 16 grandchildren; 16 great-grandchildren; two sisters, Eileen Nafziger, Illinois and Marilyn Kauffmann, South Carolina, and a brother, Walter (Lorene) Good, Illinois.
Along with her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by a son, Joel Kauffmann; a granddaughter, Angela Kauffmann; three sisters, Helen Mumaw, Marcella Kossen, and Oleta Bachman, and a brother John Good.
A service to celebrate Lola’s 99 years of life will take place on April 6, 2024, at 2 p.m. at College Mennonite Church, Goshen. The service will be live streamed.
Memorials may be given to Goshen College and designated for The Joel Kauffmann Scholarship Fund in memory of Lola Kauffmann.

Coffee dates with friends were always a delight for Dee, as she cherished the warmth of friendship and engaging conversations, but spending time with her family was her most favorite.
