Maas on January 19, 1946 at Zion Lutheran Church in Wheatland Township.  Together they farmed all their lives, raising six children first in Downers Grove and then moving to their present farm in Plato Township.  They joined St. Peter’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, North Plato, Hampshire, IL where Mabel was still a member as well as a member of St. Peter’s Ladies Aid.  Harry preceded her in death on May 8, 2014.

Mabel was preceded in death by her husband; her parents; five brothers, Gilbert, Clarence, Roy Sr., Eldon, and Charles; one sister, Alice, and one great-grandson, Emerson Lindstrom in infancy.

Private funeral services were held on November 11, 2021 at St. Peter’s Evangelical Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, North Plato, Hampshire, IL with burial immediately following in the North Plato Cemetery.  The Rev. Thomas Eaves officiated with arrangements having been made by Yurs Funeral Home, St. Charles.  Memorials in Mabel’s name may be directed to St. Peter’s Lutheran Church or the Alzheimer’s Association.

The family would like to extend its deepest gratitude and thanks to Visiting Angels of South Elgin, especially Sandy Gillis who helped care for Harry and Mabel for almost nine years, and Vitas Hospice of Lombard.  We sincerely appreciate their friendship, support and loving care of our parents.  With their help, Harry and Mabel were able to live at home and there peacefully pass from their earthly home to their heavenly home.

Burial is with the sure and certain confidence the Lord Jesus will raise our bodies to life everlasting on the Day of His Second Coming.
