Ilse Kirchner

Our beloved mother, Ilse Kirchner, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, April 20, 2021, while enjoying the warmth and sunshine, during a visit to her daughter's home in the beautiful countryside of Kentucky. Ilse was born on May 12, 1929, in Gehlenburg, East Prussia, Germany. She always spoke fondly of her childhood home and family.

Ilse met her husband, Rudi, while in Hamburg and they married in 1953. Together they immigrated to the United States in 1955 and settled in Toledo, Ohio. They started a family in 1959 with the birth of their twin girls, Barbara and Linda. Ilse and Rudi were married almost 50 years.

Ilse leaves behind to cherish her memory her two daughters, Linda (Bruce), Barbara (Ron); grandchildren, Chris (Amy), Karin (John), Jeremy and Cherie; and great grandchildren, Adaline and William.
Barbara and Linda will always be grateful to have had such a loving mother and father. Rest in eternal peace with the Lord, dear mother, till we all meet again.
