Mabel Marie Handke was one of a family of fifteen children, all of whom have departed this life. She was a daughter of Oswald and Menna M. (Lundt) Handke and was born July 29, 1915, in Elkport, Iowa and peacefully departed this life at the home of her daughter, Aug 7, 2020, aged 105 years

She came with her husband to Spokane, Washington during WWII, where she resided until she was 101 years old, spending nearly all her life in Spokane county. She was united in marriage to Otto John. Rantzow, Sept 7, 1935, who departed this life Aug 8, 1988 at 89 yrs old..

To this union were born three children, one of whom, Mary Jane (Rantzow) Parker, preceded her in death several years ago. The two left to mourn her departure are Carl Rantzow, of Spokane, WA, and Jeannettte Rantzow, of Port Angeles, WA, with whom she made her home for four years.

She was converted when quite young and united with the Methodist church, and afterwards transferred to other denominations of the Christian church.

She often said she was ready to go and be with her Savior. All who knew her could not help but love her and see the light of her Savior shining in her life. All was done for her that loving hands could do, but Jesus called and took her to that heavenly Home.
She often told people her recipe for old age was:
1. To love Jesus
2. Eat your oatmeal, every day.

She leaves to mourn her departure, two living children, five grandchildren, a number of great grandchildren and great-great grand children; besides a number of other relatives and a large host of friends.
