ANNA F. SCHELLENBERG

Miss Anna F. Schellenberg, 72, died June 12, 1963 at a Colorado Springs, Colo. hospital where she had been receiving care for several week. She had been in failing health for the last five years.

Funeral services were held at the Law Mortuary on Saturday morning, June 15, with Dr. Howard Hansen, pastor of the Presbyterian church officiating. Burial was made in Evergreen cemetery.

Anna Schellenberg, daughter of Elder Abraham and Susanna Schellenberg was born Jan. 28, 1891 near Moundridge, Kan.

At the age of 14 she was baptized and joined the Mennonite Brethren Church. She attended Tabor College and taught school for several years in Kansas. In 1926 she moved to Colorado Springs where she became a member of the Presbyterian church and worked as a practical nurse at Sunny Rest Sanatarium. Later for about 10 years she operated a nursery school in her own home.

She was a generous hearted cheerful individual and loved to work with people. She put herself into her work and lifted it into the realm of Christian service. She leaves many friends and relatives who miss her gentle ways and tender concern.
