She reached the age of 42 years, 11 months and 14 days. At the age of 21 she sought and found salvation by faith in Christ, receiving forgiveness of her sins and peace with her Lord, and was united to the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite through baptism, where she remained a faithful member to the end. On July 17, 1938, she was married to Pete Martens at Inman, Kansas, in the Zion Mennonite Church. At this time they settled at Hillsboro, Kansas, and later moved to different parts of that state, then to Winton, California, and of late to Glenn, California, where she met her sudden and tragic death through an automobile accident from which she never regained consciousness. To this union were born six children of which one daughter preceded her in death. She leaves to mourn, her husband; Pete Martens; three sons: Eugene, 16; Jan Dean, 11; Galen, 6; two daughters: Roselene, 13; and Delores, 9; and the following brothers and sisters: Pete Nikkel, Mary Penner, and Antone Nikkel of Inman, Kansas; Margaret Ensz, Agnes Hiebert, and Aaron Nikkel of Hillsboro, Kansas; Anna Penner, Eva Ensz, and Ben Nikkel of Conway, Kansas; Helen Wiebe of Lehigh, Kansas; Susie Loewen of Winton, California; Katherine Friesen of Glenn, California; Dave Nikkel of Salem, Oregon; Henry Nikkel of Denver, Colorado; and a host of relatives and friends. She was a kind and loving wife and mother, always helping wherever she could, patiently laboring for those near and dear to her. We mourn, but not as those who have no hope, for we feel assured that she has gone to be with the Lord. Mother just stepped out and closed the door, No parting words were said; And though she's gone and is no more, It's hard to think she's dead. The call was sudden, the shock severe. We little thought death was so near, And only those who have lost can tell What parting is without farewell. Sometimes we think we hear her coming, Coming through the open door. Then we tearfully remember, Mother will come back no more. Funeral services were held at the Glenn Mennonite Church Thursday morning, 1955. Min. J.H. Loewen spoke Jesus' wonderful words of comfort from John 14:1,2,3 and Rev. 14:12 & 13. Min. A.T. Loehn and Min. Dave Dyck helped in the services at the Church and Min. Jesse Koehn read John 11:25 at the graveside service. She was laid to rest in the Willows Cemetery.
