Claire Runft Obituary
With heavy hearts, we announce the death of Claire Runft (Herington, Kansas), born in Emporia, Kansas, who passed away on November 19, 2020 at the age of 86. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Claire Runft to pay them a last tribute.
She was loved and cherished by many people including: her husband Howard; her parents, Preston Hyde and Adeline Hyde; her children, Glenda Broadbent (Craig), Roger Runft (Kimberly) of Wichita and Roylynn Vogel (Eric) of Centennial, CO.; her granddaughters, Jana Bowman (Chad) of Lenexa, KS, Courtney Runft, Jessie Eckert (Darrell) of Grove, OK, Jeris Broadbent of Wichita and Corynn Vogel of Centennial, CO.; her great grandchildren, Jack, Brynn Bowman, Claire Eckert and Dakotah Johnson; and her siblings, Marguerite Wasson (Bill) and Keith Hyde (Darlene) of Longmont, CO..
We are saddened that the pandemic has taken away our ability to be together with extended family and friends to celebrate Claire's wonderful life at her church home the First United Methodist Church, 330 N. Broadway St., Wichita, KS 67202.
She and Howard raised their family on a shoestring and created family fun no matter what and this was a foundation for a wonderful life.
