This is the first year that it was not a surprise when the sorority Beta Sigma Phi picked the Woman of the Year. Donice Medina was selected 2015 Woman of the Year. However, she stated she did not plan to attend this event, so she had to be informed she was the recipient of the award.

Donice has served Hugoton and Stevens County with a positive attitude, commitment to service and her ever-present “big heart” for many years and impacted the lives of countless people.

Some of the organizations, programs and activities she has been involved with include Hugoton Chamber of Commerce, Hugoton Ambassadors, the Giving Tree, the Christmas Gift Program, Beta Sigma Phi Sorority and treasurer of the First Church of God. She has also helped with food baskets, taking in kids, providing winter coats for children, helping with benefit dinners, paying for student lunches, adopting a child, giving tips to the needy, her innumerable random acts of kindness and an always-smiling face at school.

Some of the comments made by Donice’s friends and family state she doesn’t like to see people in need, is a hard worker and is always available to help. Donice is very deserving of this award.
Congratulations Donice! This award is well deserved.
