ADINA GOERING

Adina Goering, daughter of Peter C. and Anna Waltner Goering, was born Aug. 27, 1890 and died Sept. 24, 1983, reaching the age of 93.

She was baptized and became a member of the Hoffnungsfeld-Eden Mennonite Church. On Oct. 24, 1907 she was united in marriage with Christian B. Goering, with whom she shared life's joys and sorrows for 75 years.

They lived on a farm in McPherson County, Kan., until 1937, when they moved to a farm in Harvey County. Upon retiring, they moved to the Bethel College campus in North Newton, and transferred their membership to the Bethel College Mennonite Church. She became a resident of the Moundridge Mennonite Home in 1979, and in 1980 she and her husband again joined the Eden Mennonite Church.

She was a loving wife, mother and grandmother and was always willing to give herself in the interest of those whom the Lord entrusted to her care. Her artistic talents were manifested in the many quilts and needlework she created. She realized her Savior was always able to supply her every need.

Services were held Sept. 27 at the Eden Mennonite Church, Moundridge, with Walter P. Neufeld in charge. Interment was in the Eden Mennonite Church Cemetery.
