Rena Heibult

Rena Heibult, 95, died Monday, July 23, 2012 at Lennox Good Samaritan Center. Rena Wildeboer was born on February 2, 1917 on a farm near Lennox, South Dakota, the daughter of Claus and Effie (Bartels) Wildeboer. She attended Bennet rural school and grew up on the family farm six and one-half miles north of Chancellor. On December 3, 1941 she was united in marriage to Harold Heibult at the church parsonage in Hartington, Nebraska. Following their marriage they farmed north of Chancellor for 40 years. In April of 1980 they moved to Sioux Falls. Harold's death on April 29, 2006 ended a marriage of over 64 years. In recent years she had been a resident of Primrose Retirement Community and more recently Rena had resided at the Lennox Good Samaritan Center. Rena was a faithful member of Calvary Assembly of God in Sioux Falls. Rena, along with her husband, Harold, were always involved in their church, which was a huge part of their lives. The "Harold Heibult Hall" at the church is a testimony to their involvement. Most of all Rena can be remembered as being in constant prayer and being deeply concerned for her family. Her deepest desire was that her entire family, as well as her extended family, would accept Christ as their personal Savior. When she was no longer able to read she appreciated when visitors would quote scripture, sing hymns and pray with her. Besides her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by four brothers: Eppo, Martin, Donald and Calvin Wildeboer and one sister, Grace Blackman. Grateful for having shared her life are three brothers: Harm (Pearl) Wildeboer of Chancellor, John (Gloria) Wildeboer of Lennox and Henry (Marlene) Wildeboer of Worthing; two sisters: Hilka Soderberg and Leona Wildeboer, both of Sioux Falls; two sisters-in-law: Adeline Wildeboer of Chancellor and Bonita Wildeboer of Sioux Falls; plus several nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Services will begin at 1:00 p.m. Friday, July 27 at Calvary Assembly of God Church, Sioux Falls with burial in the Germatown Cemetery, Chancellor. Visitation will begin at 2 p.m. Thursday at Dindot-Klusmann Funeral Home, Lennox with the family present from 7 to 8 p.m.
