Notes |
- WENTZEL, LORNA JEAN (HASELEY) Of Grand Blanc, age 73, wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend, went to meet Jesus on Thursday, November 9, 2017 at the Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit, Michigan. Lorna was born in Niagara Falls, New York on March 28, 1944, the daughter of Wallace and Cordia (Stoelting) Haseley, the second of six children. Lorna was a loving and devoted wife and her husband's best friend and confidant. She encouraged family and friends as a selfless guide and mentor. She was born with the heart of a farmer's daughter, loved the soil and was an excellent gardener. Lorna's yard and the surrounding area radiated her love for plants and flowers which she faithfully cultivated and nurtured. She will be sorely missed by the many whose lives she touched with her generosity and laughing spirit. Lorna fought valiantly against a disease that eventually consumed her body, but never consumed her love for her family and friends, nor her deep faith in the Lord Jesus. Lorna is survived by her husband of 51 years, Wayne Wentzel; five children and eleven grandchildren. She will be sadly missed by son, Michael, his wife Anne, of Grand Rapids, Michigan, and their children Aaron, Katrina, Adin and Elise; daughter Jennifer Nguyen, her husband Khoa, of Savannah, Georgia, and their children, Luke, Elijah and Ryder; son Mark, his wife JenMarie, of Atlanta, Georgia, and their children Auguste and Eero; daughter Emily Craw, her husband Anthony, of Grand Blanc and their children Julian and Benjamin; and son Daniel of Seattle, Washington. Lorna is also survived by sister Marlene Langhart and her husband Bernie; brother Roger and his wife Linda; brother Willard and his wife Sherry; brother Wilfred and his wife Sharon; sister Florine Wilkins and her husband Karl. Lorna was preceded in death by her parents. Lorna's joy in Christ will be celebrated 11am Tuesday, November 14, 2017 at Faith Lutheran Church, 12534 Holly Road, Grand Blanc, Pastor Todd Biermann officiating. Burial in Evergreen Cemetery.
