Born near Belmond on Dec. 30, 1891, Miss Mennenga was the youngest of 10 children born to Heye and Margaret Mennenga. She made her home with her parents for many years and cared for them until their deaths. The last two years of her life she resided at the Johnson Nursing Home here. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by two sisters, Catherine and Henrietta; and three brothers, Folrich, Heiko and Titus. Surviving are four brothers -- Menno of Waterloo, Fred of Watford City, N. Dak., John of Belmond and Bernard of Santa Monica. All of the pallbearers were nephews of the deceased.
