Lawrence Kinne, her sister Dorothy Sutherland, great grandson Fletcher Dencklau, her brothers-in-law; Eugene Dencklau, Raymond Dencklau, Everett Dencklau, Clarence Hochemeier, and Max Sutherland, and sisters-in-law; Hazel Dencklau, Irene Dencklau, Marie Kinne, Verjean Kinne, and Margaret Kinne.
Ruby Louise Kinne, the daughter of Franz and Matilda (Nahnsen) Kinne, was born December 23, 1928 in Gowrie, IA. She graduated from Gowrie High School in 1946. On July 27, 1948, Ruby was united in marriage to Wilbert John Dencklau at the Lutheran Church in Churdan, IA. Ruby worked alongside Wilbert on their farm northeast of Fort Dodge from 1948 until 1971 when they moved into town. In addition to her being an extraordinary homemaker, Ruby also worked at Arnold Palmer’s Cleaners, Ellen’s Care Center as a nurse’s aide, and Jamar’s Drive Inn restaurant.
Ruby was a longtime member of St. John’s Lutheran Church, Vincent, where she was involved in Lutheran Women’s Missionary League, Lutheran Laymens League and Ladies Aide. She also taught Sunday School and served as the church organist for 23 years. When St. John’s Lutheran Church closed in August of 2017, Ruby became a member at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Fort Dodge.
She lived for the joy of serving others in many ways. Perhaps the best example is through the love and passion she had for baking. Whether it was her pies, cinnamon rolls, or cookies, they all tasted a little sweeter because she sprinkled the key ingredient of love on top. She loved spending time with her family and, in later years, especially enjoyed being a daily part of the lives of her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Everyone loved going to Grandma’s house on earth and are excited to know we’ll join her someday in her Heavenly home!
We have a copy of the wedding announcement.

He grew up on a family farm near Burnside, Iowa, and graduated from East Central Webster High School in 1960. Harold graduated from AIB College of Business and worked in the transportation and logistics department at Meredith Corporation in Des Moines, Iowa.

In March 2020, Harold sold the lake home and moved to a new home at the Eastern Star Masonic Home community in Boone to be closer to family.
Harold was proud of his family and loved them very much. Thank you to everyone who helped him stay in the lake home as long as he could, cared for his wife, traveled with him to see friends and family, and made trips to Boone to visit him or called to check in. You are all the best.
