Services for former Hillsboro resident Louise Anna (Peters) Ensz, 88, who died July 22 at Harry Hynes Hospice, Wichita, were Tuesday at Alexanderwohl Mennonite Church, rural Hillsboro.

She was baptized Jan. 21, 1951, by pastor Harry Harms.

After caring for Navajo children at a home in Gallup, New Mexico, she married Abe Ensz on Sept. 18, 1960. They moved to Moundridge a few months ago.

Survivors include her husband; children Bonnie Hiebert, Orlin Ensz, and Glen Ensz of Hillsboro, Irene Koehn of Versailles, Missouri, and Rebecca Wiebe of Bloomfield, Iowa; siblings Wilbert Peters, Lois Eicher, and Kathleen Wenger; 19 grandchildren; and 29 great grandchildren.
