Those preceding her in death were: Frederick, Helen, and Gertrude. Besides her husband and children, she leaves one sister, Mrs. Sophia Koerber; one brother, Edward Benninga; and one uncle, Henry Heikes. Two sister, Miss Anna Benninga and Mrs. J. H. Meenen, preceded her in death. There are five grandchildren and four great grandchildren.
She was a great lover of flowers and her gardens were her pride and joy.
She was a good wife and mother, kind and considerate, always sacrificing herself to help others.
She will be greatly missed in the Riverdale Community.
Memorial services were held Wednesday afternoon, March 1 at two o'clock at the Presbyterian Church in Clifton, with the Rev. Frank Rearick of Clay Center officiating.
Mrs. Dayton Lutz, accompanied by F.C.Pfister, sang "In the Garden" and The City Four Square."
Burial was in the Riverdale cemetery with Harold Weber; Ernest Weber, Carl Tillinghast, Roy White, Henry Hagen and Herbert Peterson as body Bearers.
The presence of relatives and friends and the beautiful flowers were symbols of regard and sympathy.
