September 30, 1929 - August 3, 2023

Nathalie Ellene Mussemann of Hays, KS, formerly of WaKeeney, KS, passed away on August 3, 2023, at Hays Medical Center, at the age of 93. She was born on September 30, 1929, in WaKeeney to Clarence and Marie (Huber) Zeman.

She married Frank Mussemann on November 23, 1948, in WaKeeney. They were blessed with four children, Dennis, Christine, Sharla, and Julie.

Nathalie grew up in WaKeeney and graduated from WaKeeney High School in 1947.

She was the epitome of a farm wife and all it entails. After raising their children, she worked at the Dairy Queen and Bethlehem Lutheran Church as the secretary. Following her retirement, Nathalie spent many hours enjoying the game of golf.

She was a member of the Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Bethlehem Daughters, Big Creek Ladies Golf, and F.O.E. Auxiliary, all of WaKeeney. She loved playing cards, especially bridge and pinochle, and spending time with her family. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were her pride and joy. Birthday celebrations always included Gram's homemade ice cream and chocolate sheet cake.

Nathalie is survived by her husband, Frank of the home in Hays; children Dennis (Lori) Mussemann of Wamego, KS, Christine (Gregory) Trogstad of WaKeeney, Sharla (David) Albers of Brownell, KS, and Julie Mussemann of Kapolei, HI; five grandchildren, Taylor (Melinda) Trogstad of Salina, KS, Bethany Trogstad of Prairie Village, KS, Seth (Jami) Albers of Collyer, KS, Silas (Megan) Albers of Ransom, KS, and Hannah (Josh) Enslow of Hays, KS; ten great-grandchildren, Crew Trogstad, Nelson Murdock, Maura, Thaddeous and Lennox Albers, Zaddok and Everly Albers, Bryson, Hattie, and Joelle Enslow.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Clarence Zeman and Marie Hands; infant son Charles Lee; son-in-law Don Holden; infant great-grandson Maddox Albers; brother Dwayne Zeman; and sister Nadine Powell.

A funeral service will be held on Tuesday, August 8, 2023, at 10:30 a.m., at the Bethlehem Lutheran Church in WaKeeney. Burial will follow in the Kansas Veterans’ Cemetery in WaKeeney. Visitation will be on Tuesday, 9:30 a.m. until service time.
