Vi was a selfless person and always put the needs of her family first. Vi had a passion for providing for her family, whether it was helping her husband and sons in the field or preparing meals and desserts for her grandchildren. The quickest way to put a smile on her face was to have a family member walk through the front door.

She enjoyed the simple pleasures in life; quiet time reading a good book or having a cup of coffee to catch up with her neighborhood friends. She was a member of St. John Lutheran Church of Mapleton and Mapleton VFW Auxiliary. Vi is survived by her two sons, Tim (Terri Maass) Manthei and Lee (Lisa) Manthei; four grandchildren Jessica (Craig) Smith, Jill (Ben Stenzel) Manthei, Craig (Jennifer Reetz) Manthei and Justin Manthei; two great-grandchildren Ellie and Ethan Smith; sister, Ellen Sanders; and two nieces, Vickie (Steve) Dunn and Nadine (Huck Hensley) Sanders.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband; brother-in-law, LeRoy “Corky” Sanders; sisters-in-law, Alice (Waldo) Randall, Emmy (Merlin) Burgeson, and Judy Gernander.
