Her death certificate (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KFHM-3LJ) says she died in Benton Harbor, Berrien County, MI. Her obituary from page 1 of the March 30, 1933 issue of The Sumner Gazette (quoted below) says that she died in Berrien Springs, Berrien County, MI. I went with the official record on death place.
Her obituary reads (to the best of my transcription):
Death Ends Useful Life at Berrien Springs, Mich.
Another useful life came to a close last Saturday when Mrs. Adella Habenicht of Berrien Springs, Mich., was called beyond.
The remains arrived here Monday noon. Funeral services were held from the United Brethren church Monday atfternoon with Rev. J. C. Nixon of Berrien Springs, Mich., in charge, assisted by Rev. F. C. Scott of Sumner. Burial was made in the Wilson Grove cemetery beside her daughter.
Mrs. Habenicht spent the greater portion of her life in South America, her husband having been a medical missionary in Argentine.
Ida Adella Allen Habenicht, the daughter of Benjamine James Allen, and his wife, Irene Maydale Allen, was born August 27, 1865, near Sumner, Iowa, where she spent her early life. Entering the Gazette office at Sumner, she remained several years studying printing, which practical knowledge became very useful to her in after life. Later she became a member of the Seventh Day Adventist church, at the age of 17.
Afterwards, going to Battle Creek, Michigan, she was employed in the Review and Herald office, and subsequently took the nurse's training course in the sanitarium there.
At the age of 27 she was married to Robert H. Habenicht. To this union six children were born, three of whom preceded their mother in death: Judson, Roberta and Lyria.
Mr. and Mrs. Habenicht entered evangelistic work for a while. Then feeling the need of better preparation for a broader field of service, both of them enrolled as studnets in Union College at College View, Neb., later in the college of medicine at the University of Iowa. They also engaged in training work at the Battle Creek college. Their first medical duties were at Clinton, Iowa, then they founded the Iowa sanitarium.
It was while in charge of a private institution at Colfax they accepted a call as medical missionaries to Argentine, South America. There they spent 22 years in faithful service to suffering humanity and there they founded the "Sanitorio Adventista del Plata" which today is an efficient medical institution. Their work was hard. Many times Mrs. Habenicht had her home full of patients to feed and care for, before the sanitarium was built. Besides administering anaesthetics for operations, and assisting her husband, she cared for patients while he was called away to visit the sick out in the country sections.
It was during these busy times that Mrs. Habenicht began the printing of the first periodical in Argentine. She worked the press in a small shed, and trained others to assist in the work. This seemingly small enterprise was the beginning of the Adventist publishing work in South America. At the present time it is known as "La Casa Editora, Florida, Buenos Aires."
In 1923 Mrs. Habenicht and her husband returned to the United States because of the latter's failing health. It was not very long, however, until he was sufficiently strong to actively enter the work again, when he took charge of the Iowa sanitarium. But due to the overtaxing demands made upon his strength, the doctor was forced to give up his work. Believing he had recuperated his health sufficiently to again embark on labors in the foreign fields, he started for Brazil, expecting after securing a home there to send for his wife. This he did, but when Mrs. Habenicht was at the railway station about to take the train for New York, a message was received that Dr. Habenicht had died very suddenly of heart failure. In grief and sorrow she turned back. She has since then made her home at Berrien Springs, Mich.
She was a faithful and devoted mother, always greatly loved by those who knew her. An active member in the college church and the Sabbath school, she also actively took part in the work of the Dorcas society. Prior to her death she was confined to her bed for only one week, then passed away Saturday morning, March 25th at 4:15 o'clock. Her son, Herald Habenicht accompanied the body to Sumner where she was laid to rest beside her baby, Roberta.
Left to mourn Mrs. Habenicht of her immediate family and near relatives and one daughter, Mrs. Cleo Brouchy of Argentine, South America; two sons, Robert H. Habenicht of Ionia, Mich., and Herald Habenicht and Mrs. Judson P. Habenicht of Berrien Springs; one brother, Ambrose Allen of Sumner, and one sister, Miss Elizabeth Allen of Berrien Springs in addition to 10 grandchildren.
