Hilma Ronfeld Obituary (1918

Hilma Marie Ronfeld was born to Walter and Laura (Luetjen) Lenz in Squirrel, Idaho. She was married to Carl Ronfeld in 1939 and they made their home on a farm south of Nampa where they farmed for 55 years. They attended the Zion Lutheran Church in Nampa. They made many friends there that became the center of their social lives as they raised their three children. She and Carl enjoyed exploring Silver City, square dancing, and traveling the West with friends. She was a life-long hobbyist and, later in life, a founding member of Zion's group of quilters that would come together to sew thousands of quilts for those in need. Hilma was preceded in death by her parents, her husband; her daughter Myrna Stephen; her brother and sister-in-law Elmer and Viola Lenz; her brother and sister-in-law Norbert and Thelma Lenz, and sister Shirley Burback (Darrell). She is survived by her daughter Bernette Ronfeld and son Dale Ronfeld (Diana); five grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
