A private family interment will be held at 11 a.m. at the Zion Lutheran Cemetery, prior to the memorial, under the direction of Marshall Funeral Home of Alva.
Genevra Jane, daughter of the late George Edward and Mildred Ella (Wheatley) Pfleider, was born May 18, 1937, on the family farm three miles east of Dacoma. After a nine-year battle with breast cancer, she passed away March 5, 2017, at her home in Alva, at the age of 79 years, 9 months and 17 days. Jane attended Dacoma High School and received her bachelor's degree and master's degree in early childhood education from Northwestern State College. August 25, 1957, she was united in marriage to Carl Warren Hartwig at the United Brethren Methodist Church in Dacoma. They moved to Kiowa, Kan., where she taught fourth grade for two years. Carl and Jane then moved to Alva where she taught kindergarten for 16 years. After purchasing Woods County Abstract Corporation, she retired from teaching and began working in the abstract office with Carl.
Carl and Jane wholeheartedly enjoyed working together on their farm, harvesting wheat, bailing alfalfa and raising beef cattle. She especially loved working in her flowerbeds, canning and bird watching. She was always trying to add a new bird species to her extensive list. Additionally, she enjoyed hunting, fishing, boating, bowling and playing bridge. Jane was a member of the Zion Lutheran Church, where she was active in Ruth Circle. She was also a member of PEO, Chapter C. Jane particularly cherished two-step dancing with her husband of nearly 60 years. The last 20 years, she held great sentiment in spending time with her five grandchildren and attending all of their respective activities.
Aside from her parents, she was preceded in death by one brother, George Edward Pfleider Jr., and an infant daughter.
Jane is survived by one son, Dr. Michael Dean Hartwig and wife, Marsha, of Perry; one daughter, Cathy Michelle Mapes and husband, Jeff, of Alva; five grandchildren, Michael Spencer Hartwig, Jansen Dean Hartwig and Mitchell Ray Hartwig, all of Perry, and Courtney Michelle Mapes and Cathy Lee Mapes, both of Alva. Also surviving is her sister, Lavona Niles of Perry and two sisters-in-law, Mary McGowan and husband, Kenneth and Carol Wilson; a number of nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends.
