Civilla (Sandlin) Robinson, 92, the second child of Grog Phillip and 
Pearl Ellen (Chamberlain) Sandlin, was born February 16, 1930, in 
LaValle, Missouri. Civilla passed away Saturday, November 5, 2022, at 
Graham County Hospital in Hill City, Kansas.

Civilla grew up on a 
small family farm outside of Lilbourn, Missouri. When her parents 
brought her home, her older sister said, “That’s my sissy baby.” The 
nickname stuck. Sissy was a 1948 graduate of Lilbourn High School.  On 
June 4, 1949,&nbsp; Civilla was united in marriage to her high school 
sweetheart  Simon Peter Robinson Jr.  To this union, four children were 
born: Michael Glenn, Sherry Lynn, Richard Dale, and Peter Eugene. Their 
family moved to Granby, Colorado, in December of 1957 and S.P. and Sissy 
took over the operation of a Mobil Service Station and bulk plant. They 
later purchased the service station, which they operated for over 40 
years, first as a Mobil Service Station and later as a Phillips 66 
Service Station, better known as Pete’s 66.  Sissy moved to Bogue in 
2007 and lived there until moving into Dawson Place earlier this year.

The
 Robinson home revolved around running that service station, seven days a
 week for many years. Their home was on a large lot directly behind 
their business so trips back and forth from home to work were made 
frequently throughout the day. Sissy was the person who kept the service
 station clean, lent a hand as needed and kept the books for their 
family business.

Sissy loved to cook.  In the summer there were 
barbecues and hand cranked homemade ice cream.  Homemade cookies and 
candy were a staple at Christmas. Sissy was very proud of the flower 
gardens she grew which featured perennials and lots of annual flowers 
including her favorite, red petunias. Sissy also enjoyed fishing with 
her family.  She would take a picnic lunch and say, “The fish might not 
bite but we sure will.”

In her later years she loved bird watching
 and spotting her favorite bird, the red cardinal. Her boys remember 
that their mom was always offering coffee and food to friends and family
 that came over to visit and that no one ever left their home hungry. 
Sissy loved being “Grannie” and cared deeply for her 11 grandchildren. 
She never hesitated to offer to take care of them whenever the need 
arose. and would do anything to help them out whenever she could.

Sissy
 was preceded in death by her parents, husband S.P Robinson Jr., son 
Michael Glenn and daughter Sherry Lynn; sisters: Erekia Sandlin, 
Priscilla Scherer, Wanda Kell, and brother Groggy Sandlin.

Those 
left to mourn Sissy are her sons: Richard and wife Deb Robinson of Hill 
City, Peter Robinson of Granby, Colorado; sister: Cendra Moss of Denham 
Springs, Louisiana; brother-in-law: Bill Kell of Springfield, Missouri; 
11 grandchildren; 30 great grandchildren, three great-great 
grandchildren and numerous nieces, nephews, and friends.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials to the City of Bogue Park Project.&nbsp;

Deborah A. Geist

Dr. Steven Ray “Steve” Mosier, DVM, 79,
 Hays, entered Heaven on September 11, 2022, surrounded at the time of 
his passing by family and skilled, caring HaysMed staff.&nbsp; This date fell
 on National Pet Memorial Day.

Steve was born on December 14, 1942, in
 Hoxie, the 10th child of Decker and Lela (Mowry) Mosier, arriving five 
minutes before his twin brother, Stanley Jay.&nbsp; Henceforth and ever known
 as “the twins” by Lela, Decker, and his siblings, they were promptly 
placed in a shoe box to be kept warm in the farmstead oven.&nbsp; Their 
antics would become the stuff of legend throughout their childhood and 
adult years, from a fire lit playing with matches under the bed to 
pretending to be the other brother.

Steve went to Saint Paul school in 
rural Hoxie for six years and then into town for 7th and 8th grade.&nbsp; He 
graduated from Sheridan Community High School in 1960.&nbsp; He placed third 
in state wrestling his junior year and second his senior year, holding 
the flame of Hoxie’s notable wrestling history at a time when Hoxie 
competed with all of Kansas.&nbsp; This talent would serve him later in life,
 as his daughters Karen, Kristen, Karla and Kayleen unanimously recall 
being pinned simultaneously, each under an arm or leg and with no hope 
of escape, during spontaneous family floor wrestling.&nbsp; His 
grandchildren, Ethan, Decker, Isaac, Ben, and Hannah were also met with 
his famous full and half nelsons.&nbsp;

Steve went on to Kansas State 
University and, like four brothers before him, attended the School of 
Veterinary Medicine, graduating in 1966.&nbsp; On June 5, 1965, he married 
Linda Louise Ward in Manhattan.&nbsp; Following graduation, Steve and Linda 
moved to Wichita to begin veterinary practice and then on to Aurora, 
Nebraska.&nbsp; From 1967-1969, Steve served in the US Army Veterinary Corps 
and was stationed in St. James, Minnesota.&nbsp; He was responsible for 
inspection of food going to overseas military and was a Survivor’s 
Assistance Officer, personally notifying 16 families regarding their 
fallen loved ones.&nbsp; He also assisted these families in planning funeral 
services.&nbsp; Following his military service there, Steve and Linda 
returned to Wichita in 1969, and then went on to join Hays Veterinary 
Hospital, hired by Dr. &nbsp;Paul McRae, DVM in 1970, choosing Hays because 
it was in-between Linda’s parents in Manhattan and Steve’s in Hoxie.&nbsp; 
Steve became full practice owner in 1995.&nbsp; His practice was purchased by
 Dr. Mark Meier in 2020.&nbsp; Steve thought that Dr. Meier, raised in Hays, 
was the perfect owner for the clinic.

Steve spent 50 of his 57 years in the 
practice of veterinary medicine in Hays.&nbsp; He felt very privileged to be a
 part of the human-animal bond. During his time as a practicing 
veterinarian, he was president of the Kansas Veterinary Medical 
Association in 1992 and received recognition as Kansas Veterinarian of 
the Year in 2000.&nbsp; In 2005, the Mosier family received the Alumni 
Recognition Award from the Kansas State University College of Veterinary
 Medicine.&nbsp; His favorite recognition was the Kansas Veterinary Medical 
Association Lifetime Achievement Award (2016) because it was presented 
to him by friend and colleague, Dr. John Nelson.

Steve’s daughters were all a part of 
his practice in some way while growing up, and his grandchildren 
continued this tradition.&nbsp; Whether riding along on a country call where 
Steve managed to grab a daughter and a diaper while enroute to pull a 
calf or waiting patiently at the grocery store or in the car while Steve
 visited with a client about their livestock or beloved pet, Steve made 
room for his family in his practice, and many memories surround 
experiences there.&nbsp; In the surgery suite, his daughters could be found 
observing the precision of a surgeon, and his ability to suture as 
though conducting a symphony.&nbsp;&nbsp; There were after hours cesarean 
sections, calf deliveries, x-rays and broken bones.&nbsp; The girls were 
happy to assist on night calls, as were his grandchildren.&nbsp; For 
twenty-five years, Kayleen served alongside Steve as his practice 
manager.&nbsp;&nbsp; He accomplished his service through the love and support of 
his wife, Linda, as well.

Steve enjoyed traveling with his 
family, with favorite destinations being to beaches and to the mountains
 of Estes Park.&nbsp; He also held very fond memories of a family trip to 
Scotland in 1999.

Survivors include his wife Linda of 
Hays, four daughters: Karen Nicholson and husband Blake, Kristen Hill 
and husband Christian, Karla DuBois and husband Justin, all of Estes 
Park, CO, and Kayleen Geist and husband Garrett of Hays, three brothers:
 Frank Mosier and wife Joan of Manhattan, Dr. Richard Mosier and wife 
Mary of Claremore, OK, and Dr. Larry Mosier of Sargent, NE, a sister: 
Louise Simcox of Salina, three sisters-in-law: Betty Mosier of 
Manhattan, Bunny Mosier of Cedar Rapids, NE, and Kathy Mosier of 
Wichita, five grandchildren: Blake “Decker”, Ben, and Hannah Nicholson, 
Ethan and Isaac Hill, and numerous nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his 
parents, an infant son: Darren Ward Mosier, five brothers: Ben, Dr. 
Jacob, Dr. Ross, Dr. Don, and Dr. Stan Mosier, a sister: Lila Marie 
Fansher and husband Stan, a brother-in-law: Flavel Simcox, two 
sisters-in-law: Joann and Margaret Mosier, and a nephew: Craig Mosier.

Family Inurnment with military honors 
conducted by the Fort Riley Funeral Detail will be on Sunday, September 
18, 2022, in the Hoxie Cemetery followed by a gathering at the family 
farm, Sheephead Ranch.&nbsp; A community Celebration of Steve’s Life will be 
held at 5:00 pm on Saturday, November 19, 2022, at the Hilton Garden Inn,
 Hays.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

City of Hays Parks Department Note: Hays Dog Park P.O. Box 490 Hays, KS&nbsp; 67601

This wonderful addition for pet lovers in the community of Hays is an amenity that Steve enjoyed visiting with his grand-dogs.&nbsp;

Hays ARC Park The ARC of Central Plains 600 Main Street Hays, Kansas 67601

<a href="http://haysarcpark.org">www.haysarcpark.org</a>&nbsp;

For decades, Steve and Linda were 
volunteers for the Special Olympics held in Hays and as such, ARC is an 
organization they have held close to their hearts.&nbsp; Memorials will 
support phase three of the ARC Park.&nbsp;

Sheridan County Amusement Company P.O. Box 153 Hoxie, Kansas 67740

Since 1981, the Sheridan County 
Amusement Company has sponsored the Hoxie Carnival each July in 
conjunction with the annual Sheridan County Fair.&nbsp; The Mosier Family has
 long appreciated this community event, and Steve’s family attended 
annually as a part of the Mosier Family Reunion.&nbsp; Memorials will be 
designated for improvements to carnival facilities.

nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with 
thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;&nbsp; And the peace of 
God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your 
minds through Christ Jesus.
