Edith Enns, 94, of Inman, passed away on Wednesday, July 15, 2020. She was born on November 20, 1925 to Jacob and Marie (Harder) Loeffler on a farm near Meade, Kansas.
It was love at first sight for Menno when he met a new girl in town, Edith Loeffler, at choir practice in 1940. They were married on November 28, 1943 at Bethel Mennonite Church in Inman. Menno and Edith were ranchers, members of the American Quarter Horse Association and American Hereford Association. They were charter members of the Sandhill Saddle Club and helped organize the Thomadora 4-H club, where all three of their children were members. She was a 4-H leader and she and Menno hosted horse judging schools for the 4-H members at their 4-E Ranch for 25 years. She traveled many miles with Menno when he judged horse shows throughout the United States.
Edith was a talented seamstress, sewing for others for many years. She was well known for her hospitality. The coffee was always on and the cookies were homemade. Lots of good times were had around her table. Menno and Edith were married for over 76 years. He always brought her wildflowers he would pick when checking pastures. They never stopped holding hands.
Edith is survived by her devoted husband, Menno; daughters, Judy Bryant, and Jan (Steve) Spiller; daughter-in-law, Judy Enns; grandchildren, Ray (Rachel) Enns, and Meghann Myers; great-grandchildren, Hayden and Violet Enns; sister, Lillian Woelk; brothers, Ervin Loeffler and Arley Loeffler.
