Faithful Servant- Florene Denninger

Florene Alma Marie Droegemueller Denninger
June 16, 1920- November 12, 2019
Nurse, Sunday School and Bible Class teacher, 
Lutheran School teacher 
for 25 years in Fort Wayne, Indiana, 
pianist and accompanist, Stephen minister.
But most of all, Florene-
 witnessed the life of invitation
 into her home-
 where she shared the truth of Scripture, 
and encouragement to all.
She lived out the joy and peace 
beyond understanding 
that grew out of her faith and trust 
in her Lord and Savior.
 Her Baptism Certificates-
Baptism- June 27, 1920

 An Advent Funeral is a Regeneration-
Genesis Again
New Life Forever.
An Advent funeral 
is our own journey to Bethlehem.
 The remembrance that this season 
before Christmas brings us HOPE.
Rev. Mike Wakeland reads God's Word
 at the funeral held at the 
Chapel at Lutheran Life Villages
 in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
 Mother to Four Children.

We sang Jesus Loves Me- 
to include all the young children
 as participants in the funeral.
 Funerals are often where 
one generation honors 
the previous generation.
And tries to make sense of death
 for the generation to follow.
Because Christ Lives
 we do not fear death.
Rev. Tom Eggold conducts
 the committal at Concordia Gardens.
 We watched the entombment.
 Grandma's resting space- 
now with Grandpa Bill.
We give thanks for the gift of life
 lived out so generously 
to her own family and others.
We give thanks for 
God's faithfulness to Florene.
The final words she heard on earth were:
 "For I am convinced that...
nothing in all creation, 
will be able to separate us from
 the love of God that is in 
Christ Jesus our Lord."
