Obituary: Frances Arlene Hanke Krueger
FORT WORTH — Frances Arlene Hanke Krueger, 78, passed away
Wednesday, Dec. 26, 2012. Memorial service will be 3 p.m. Sunday at Cornerstone
Bible Church, Southlake. In lieu of flowers, Frances desired that donations be
made to Cornerstone Bible Church, 545 S. Nolen Drive, Southlake, Texas, in
support of their missionaries or Mission Alliance in support of her son,
Dennis, serving in Taiwan. Frances was born April 2, 1934, in Newton, the
second of four children to Herman and Anna E. Buller Hanke. Frances grew up in
Newton, attending Cooper Grade School and graduating from Newton High School in
1952. At the age of 18, she met and married her high school sweetheart, Samuel
Joseph Krueger, and moved to Hesston, where they established their home and
lived for 26 years, raising their five children, Douglas (Boulder, Colo.),
Dennis (China), Brenda Adams (Arlington), Debbie Reimer (Douglass) and Jeff
(Newton). They moved to Arlington in 1978 and then to Fort Worth in 1980.Her
greatest enjoyment in her spare time was exposing false teachings and teachers
and belief systems, copying and mailing out information to all who asked for
the information. Since she didn't have much money to donate, she gave of her
time and skills instead to help keep the light of Jesus Christ shining in the
darkness for all those in the world who are hopelessly lost, giving them hope
through God's word, message and song and the opportunity of coming to know the
Lord as their own personal Savior. Her other great joys were her beloved 13
grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren. Her favorite pastimes included
reading, playing games with her grandchildren, working jigsaw puzzles,
crossword puzzles, and collecting recipes and cookbooks. Frances came to know
the Lord personally in mid-life and her great love for him outshone anything
else on earth. Her greatest desire was to see all of her children,
grandchildren and her many relatives come to know and accept her precious
Savior as their own. Her greatest hope was to see her Lord and Savior face to
face at long last. Today, she is experiencing that reality — her Coronation
Day! Rejoice with her today! Frances was preceded in death by her older
brother, Eugene, April 20, 1932; her father on March 2, 1987; and her mother on
May 4, 1987.Mount Olivet Funeral Home, 2301 N. Sylvania Ave., Fort Worth, TX
