ALMA K. WIENS
Montezuma - Our sister and aunt, Alma K. Wiens was born on November 6, 1931 in Copeland to Jacob B. and Carrie (Koehn) Wiens. She peacefully passed away on July 16, 2012 at Bethel Home in Montezuma reaching the age of 80 years.
Alma spent her childhood in the Copeland and Montezuma communities. She received her education in the Sunnyside and Montezuma schools. Deciding to pursue a career in nursing, Alma attended Bethel Deaconess School of Nursing in Newton. She graduated in 1959, becoming a Registered Nurse.

She was employed at various places, including Mercy Hospital in Moundridge; Dodge City hospitals; Montezuma Clinic, and Bethel Home in Montezuma where she was the Director of Nursing for a number of years.
