Ernestine Fullner Obituary

Ernestine Marie Fullner, aged 81, was born in Furley, KS to Ernest and Rachel (Kohl) Retzlaff.

Ernestine is survived by her loving husband, Deon, sister Darlene, and two granddaughters, Brandy R. Taylor and Rachel M. Bulens, She was predeceased by her only child, a son, Leslie Firkins.

Ernestine was primarily a homemaker, but spent time providing in-home care and housekeeping for neighbors and several residents of the Satellite. She was a very active member of Immanuel Lutheran Church, volunteering so often that she was there nearly every day. Ernestine helped to print and bind Braille Bibles and devotion books for over 20 years, during which time she met her husband, Deon. They married in August 2006, and have been an adorable, "newly wedded" couple ever since.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that contributions be made in Ernestine's memory to Immanuel Lutheran Church at http://www. http://ilc-cos.org/ or mail to:

My dear Ernestine, We became friends later in life, but you were a true, true friend A fine Christian woman and a wonderful wife. You will be missed until we meet you in Heaven. Rest now and help us get through the next days as we learn to have you only in our hearts. God bless Deon as we will all miss you, but especially that sweet man will be lonesome for a long time.
