Our dear mother and grandmother, Grace Estelle (Wenger) Diller, was born to Frank and Anna (Dyck) Wenger on August 22, 1928, in Goessel, Kansas.  She peacefully went to be with Jesus on November 19, 2020, at the age of 92 years.

Mother received her education at French School in rural Hesston, Kansas.  When she was 14 years old, she gave her heart to Jesus and was baptized into the Meridian congregation of the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite, on March 8, 1942, by her father.  She remained faithful to her commitment until death.

On May 22, 1950, she was joined in marriage to Jay D. Diller in Hesston.  In their early married years, they lived in Ithaca, Michigan, until they moved to Walnut Hill, Florida, in 1956.  Daddy passed away in 2001.  Mother decided to move to Montezuma to be close to her daughter, Linda.

Mother was a warm, friendly person and was very generous by nature.  She loved being a housewife and mother, making our home a happy place.  She had a full happy life, enjoying new recipes, flowers, and going fishing.  She also enjoyed volunteer work, working at the Atmore, Alabama, hospital and later at the Bethel Home, where she had an apartment..  She enjoyed singing and whistling while she worked her duties.
