Florence Wendt
November 14, 1914 — October 16, 2010
In the certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life, it has pleased Almighty God to call unto Himself the soul and spirit of Florence (Wellnitz) Wendt on October 16, 2010.
Florence was born November 14, 1914 in Eden Township, Brown County near Sleepy Eye, MN to Albert and Lydia (Hager) Wellnitz. She was baptized by Rev. Rabe in 1915 and years later her Christian faith was confirmed by Rev. Pothoff at Morgan Methodist Church. Florence attended the Golden Gate School, District #19. Golden Gate was a village near Sleepy Eye but has since vanished.
Florence was united in marriage to Elmer Wendt in 1932 at New Ulm, MN. After their marriage, they farmed at Sleepy Eye, Springfield and Lamberton, until 1956 when they moved to Darnen Township, Morris MN where they farmed until their retirement. Florence moved into Morris in 1994 and lived there with her son Roger.
Florence spent all of her life as a homemaker, and she lived most of her life in the countryside. Her main interests were her family and church.
Florence Wendt was preceded in death by her parents, husband Elmer in 1985, brother Burt, sister Orlin, three children, Donovan, Carol, David and one grandson, Ron Joy.
Florence is survived by one daughter, Joyce Wendt, and one son, Roger Wendt, both of Morris and one brother, Albert Wellnitz of Sleepy Eye, plus one sister, Gladys Nelson of Springfield, and many nephews and nieces.
The Lord blessed Florence with 95 years on this earth. Her mortal remains will await the glorious resurrection at Summit Cemetery in Morris.
Pallbearers for the service are Rev. Jim Alberts, Dennis Feuchtenberg, Craig Feuchtenberg, Jim Velde, Richard Lubenow and Lynn Halbakken. Steve Dahlseng will serve as organist for the service Sheryl Woetzel serving as soloist. Pedersen Funeral Home in Morris is in charge of the arrangements.
In Lieu of flowers the family prefers memorials to the Hosanna Worship Center.
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies." (John 11: 25)
