Ilse touched many peoples hearts with her kind natured personality and laughter. She loved doing things for others. One of her favorite things until her death was to cut her lawn on a tractor, watch Days of our lives as well as the daily Catholic mass every morning. She learned to use an IPad and sent stickers to her children and friends daily. It kept her in touch with her Family and friends and also reconnected her with a few of her distant relatives in Germany. She will be missed by many.
Our most sincere condolences to the entire Henneboehle family.
Ilse was a wonderful lady and we will miss her. I use to cut Karl and her hair when she wanted a trim. They were such fun people to visit with. My parents owned the Reiman farm that there place sits on. So sorry for your loss.
Ilse was my dearest friend. I loved her humor & everything about her. My most cherished moments were countless. Ilse was a loving, genuine lady, in every respect. I will miss my visits with her and our many chats on Instant Messaging. We shared a lot of delightful stickers. I miss you my beloved friend, but your loving character will carry on through your children with your selfless love for others. We will meet again in Heaven. Tell Tommy & Karl “Hi” for me, my friend.
Mom and I lost a truly good friend and will miss her so much. She was always so full of life, humor, friendliness and kindness. She was a joy to have in our lives.
