ANNA G. ENNS

Anna G. Enns, 90, of Hillsboro, Kan., died June 20, 2009. She was born July 14, 1918, to David J. and Elizabeth Reddig Enns in Chinook, Mont., but grew up in Lehigh, Kan.

She graduated from Tabor College of Hillsboro and attended Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. She then served on the mission field in Africa for many years. When home on furlough, she would teach in day schools, camps, vacation Bible school and be involved in child evangelism. Wherever there was a need, she was available.

After she retired from the mission field, she found places to serve in Hillsboro and other cities and states. She always desired to share God’s love and plan of salvation with others. She was a special blessing to many, having friends and prayer warriors wherever she went. Many times when talking with her she would have a big smile and be so happy and excited about what the Lord had done that she would start singing a chorus or hymn. She had a heart full of praise and thankfulness to her Lord and Savior all of her life.

She spent her last years at Salem Home in Hillsboro. She was a member of Parkside Mennonite Brethren Church.

Survivors include a sister-in-law, four nieces and two nephews.

She was preceded in death by a brother, William Enns; two sisters, Bertha Enns Schultz and Alice Enns; a stepbrother, John F. Knaak; and two nephews.

Memorial services were held at Salem Home.
