Marsha Ann Haines

January 8, 1947 — May 26, 2025

Marsha Ann Haines, 78, of Stockton, KS, passed away on May 26, 2025, at the Solomon Valley Manor in Stockton. She was born on January 8, 1947, to Russell and Leta (Veverka) Bouchey in Hays, KS.


Marsha grew up in Stockton and graduated from Stockton High School in 1965. She continued her education at Kansas State University, earning her bachelor’s degree in Political Science, and later completed a master’s degree in Speech Pathology at Fort Hays State University.


On December 27, 1969, Marsha married the love of her life, Richard Lee “Tom” Haines, at the United Methodist Church in Stockton. Together they raised three daughters, and her greatest joy in life was being a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother.

Marsha dedicated her professional life to helping others as a speech pathologist, serving students in the Stockton, Phillipsburg, and Palco school districts. She had a kind and compassionate heart, always focused on the well-being of those around her.


A woman of many interests, Marsha loved quilting, knitting, card games, cooking, reading, and cheering on her daughters and local athletes at community sports events. She had a deep love for her family and especially cherished her time with her grandchildren.


She was a faithful member of the Stockton United Methodist Church and actively involved in numerous organizations, including P.E.O., the VFW Auxiliary, FCE, and 4-H—both as a member in her youth and later as a dedicated leader for her children.


Marsha is survived by her loving husband of 55 years, Richard Haines of Stockton; her daughters: Richelle Haines of Olathe, KS, Marissa (Brett) Shelton of Homewood, IL, and Melanie Haines (Larry Wilson) of Neosho, MO; and five cherished grandchildren: Violet Wilson, Veverka Shelton, Ellie Wilson, Emmett Wilson, and Ellora Shelton.


She was preceded in death by her parents, Russell and Leta Bouchey.
