Vanetta Sabine

June 27, 1944 — September 29, 2023

Pleasanton, KS

 

Vanetta Carol (Hardy) Sabine passed away peacefully at Freeman Hospital in Joplin, Missouri at 5:42 AM on Friday, September 29, 2023.  She was born June 27, 1944, in Garnett, KS to William Orland and Ella Bernice “Margaret” (Walje) Hardy.  Vanetta grew up in Pleasanton, KS where she attended school until graduating in 1962.  She went on to attend Kansas State College (now Pittsburg State University), where she received her degree in education in 1967.  Her teaching career began in Fort Osage School District in Independence, MO.  She then returned home to Pleasanton to continue her career in 1971 until her retirement in 2007.  A career for over 40 years!

She loved Pleasanton, KS, was very patriotic, and her hobbies included history, reading, music and antiques.  Her greatest love was for Jesus Christ and his church, Liberty Worship Center, where she was a founding member.  A very close second was her love for her grandchildren, which she affectionately called her “GRANDS”.  Of all titles, she held throughout her life, “GRAMMIE” was by far her favorite.

Vanetta married her high school sweetheart, Kenneth Eugene Sabine, on June 7, 1968, at the Veteran’s Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri.  He survives of the home in Girard, KS. Additional survivors include her 3 sons and their wives: Jason and Jennifer Sabine, Pleasanton, KS, Aaron and Misty Sabine, Girard, KS, and Ethan and Monica Sabine, Pleasanton, KS; a nephew she considered a son, Rolland “Skip” Saye (Terry);  9 grandchildren: Steven Sabine, Megan Sabine, Matthew Sabine, Ella Sabine, Carol Sabine, Emma Byrd (Ryan), Alicia Sabine, Ashley Sabine, and Eryn Sabine; 2 great grandchildren Ezra Hall and Nova Sabine; two brothers and their wives, Dennis and Charlyce “Kaye” Hardy and Gerald and Elna “Charlene” Hardy both of Pleasanton, KS; and a sister in law Marietta Saye; 5 nieces and nephews Jennifer Statler (Anthony), Maggie Knox (Jason), Brian Hardy (Anna), Mary White (Matt), and Denny Hardy.
