(Luebbert) Popken, 86 May 4, 1935 ~ December 15, 2021 Elsie was born May 4, 1935 to John and Elizabeth (Hagedorn) Luebbert, the youngest of 7 children, on a farm near West Point, NE.

There, they raised their five children. Elsie was active as a 4-H leader and very involved in Christian Women's ministry. She hosted and attended many Bible Studies in the Fremont area, and spent time writing her memoirs. She worked as a secretary for Lawngevity Lawn Care for 13 years prior to retirement. Her hobbies were sewing, reading, traveling with Marvin and enjoying her grandchildren. Elsie C. (Luebbert) Popken, age 86, of Fremont, Nebraska, passed into the arms of Jesus on Wednesday, December 15, 2021. She was predeceased by her husband, Marvin, who passed away in October, 2013. Following Marv's death, she began writing a book, See What the Lord has Done. It details her life and relationship with Jesus Christ, and was published in 2018. When she accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior, she was never the same, and loved to tell others the good news of knowing Jesus Christ. Her faith in Jesus was her most prized possession, followed by her husband and family. Elsie never met a stranger and her love for and belief in others was demonstrated by her desire to serve. Everyone who knew her said that kindness was her trademark. She had the gift of making others feel as if they were the most important people in the world, because to her they were.

Yes, miracles happen. But genuine freedom with hope for a different future and dignity requires an intensive long-term commitment. Our multinational network of partners are committed to seeing Hope restored in the lives of survivors of sexual exploitation. "--organization website
