FRIEDA HOFFMAN PANKRATZ
Frieda Hoffman Pankratz, daughter of Frank and Pauline Schimmel Hoffman, was born on Dec. 10, 1879, at Elmo, Kan. where she spent her youth and attended school. As a teenager she recognized her need of salvation, receiving Christ as Saviour, and was received into the Dickinson County Baptist Church upon confession of faith and baptism.
On Nov. 4, 1903, she was married to Henry J. Pankratz of Hillsboro, Kan., where they made their home for the rest of their lives. The Lord brought joy to our parents through the births of four daughters, one of whom died in 1926.
While mother gladly stood by our father as he served the community and the church, she also made her own contributions to the life of the church, being active in the missionary circles, serving as organist for music groups, teaching Sunday school, and entertaining visiting missionaries and speakers who came to Tabor College for Bible conferences. Her compassionate spirit was also expressed in taking several of her sisters and others into their home for rather extended periods of time so that they could attend school or receive medical care.
Our mother enjoyed good health most of her life and together with father had the privilege of traveling to many parts of the United States. The Lord's mercy was very evident in their life together, and after ten years of retirement, they moved to Parkside Homes in 1964 where she soon found real joy in fellowshiping [sic] with other residents. Our parents' life together, which spanned more than 64 years, was severed with father's death last June, and mother never really recovered from this pain of separation. her health gradually declined until she passed away quietly Jan. 16, 1969, having reached the age of 89 years, one month and six days.
She was preceded in death by her parents, one daughter, her husband, four brothers, two sisters and one great-grandchild. Surviving are three daughters and their families, Melba, Mrs. John J. Regier and husband of Wichita, Alice, Mrs. B. W. Regier and husband of Bellingham, Wash., Esther, Mrs. Herman J. Regier and husband of Hillsboro; nine grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren, and many other relatives and friends. — The Family.
