Ada Tonnessen

After a lifetime of making others feel loved and at home, Ada Marie Austin Tonnessen is now home with Jesus her Savior. Her husband of 65 years, her daughters and their families, her sister and brother and extended family, and countless friends both far and near will miss her presence but are comforted by the Bible’s message—those who accept by faith God’s offer of redemption through Jesus Christ experience joy and gladness when their earthly journey is done. Heaven with Jesus is Ada’s reality today.

A full obituary to share more of her story will be posted here soon. In the meantime, her family would like to announce the following services that will take place in her memory:
