MRS. ANNA VOTH

Mrs. John F. (Anna) Voth was born near Enid, Okla. on June 3, 1906, the daughter of Frank and Nettie Regier Harms, and died suddenly the evening of June 21, 1975 at her home northeast of Enid. She reached the age of 69.

On Oct. 5, 1924 she was baptized by Rev. Gerhard Voth and united with the North Enid Mennonite Brethren Church. She transferred her membership to the Grace Mennonite Church in December 1965 and was a member of that church at the time of her death.

She was married to John F. Voth on June 7, 1925. Together with her husband she enjoyed 50 years of marriage which included victories and defeats, joys and sorrows. Through all of her experiences she found the Lord Jesus Christ to be adequate for every situation. Golden wedding anniversary plans were in the making, but God, in His Divine providence, saw fit to take her home to Himself instead.

She lived on the farm her entire life. This she enjoyed greatly. She also found much joy in her children and grandchildren. As a good mother she would offer words of encouragement to them as she deemed it necessary.

Survivors include the following: Her husband, of the home; a son, Johnny and wife Rosie of Enid; a daughter, Ruth and husband Jerry Craun of Manitou Springs, Colo.; five grandchildren and five sisters, Mrs. Jake (Marie) Warkentin of Enid, Mrs. Pete (Nettie) Quiring of Bradshaw, Neb., Mrs. Emma Harms Voth of Bethany, Okla., Mrs. Abe (Lydia) Janzen of Kremlin, Okla., and Mrs. Ben (Rosie) Martens of Fairview, Okla. Her parents, one sister, and one brother preceded her in death.
