Dianna 'Gale' (Gibson) Krise's Obituary
WICHITA, KANSAS
DIANNA 'GALE' (GIBSON) KRISE
, passed away on Tuesday, July 3, 2018 at the age of 70, after a courageous battle with multiple myeloma cancer. She was born September 4, 1947 in McPherson, KS, the oldest daughter of Willard Leroy Gibson and Mildred Florene (Bacon) Gibson. Gale attended Wickersham Grade School, McPherson Middle School, graduated from McPherson High School in 1965 and attended Brown Mackie School of Business in Salina, KS.
Upon graduation from business school, she worked as a secretary for the Santa Fe Railroad for 18 years, until they closed the Newton, KS office; New Horizons in Valley Center, KS and was manager of the bakery for Leeker's Family Foods in Park City, KS until she retired. Her greatest love was time spent with family and friends. Gale enjoyed fishing, her flowers and gardening, but she had a passion for reading! Sometimes she would read as many as 3 books in one day. Growing up, she could read, watch TV, listen to a conversation, and be able to tell you what all three were about.
She was a lifetime member of the Ladies Auxiliary of VFW Post 2715, McPherson, KS. Survivors include: son Jason Klaassen (Lori) of Gardner, KS; three grandchildren Kylie Gray (Shane) of Killeen, TX; Spencer and Gavin Klaassen of Gardner, KS; great-granddaughters Aubrey and Emma Gray; sister, Shelly Allenbach (Keith) of Moundridge, KS.; her significant other of 26 years, David Sterling of Valley Center, KS.; niece, nephew, great-nieces, great-nephews, other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents. A come and go Remembrance Celebration will be held Saturday, September 8, 2018, from 1-4 p.m., in the meeting room next to the Valley Center Public Library, Valley Center, KS. Because of her love of books and reading, memorials may be made in her memory to Friends of the Valley Center Library, 314 E. Clay, Valley Center, KS 67147.
