A celebration of life service for Elmer Hanneman of Denver City will be held 2 p.m. Monday, January 5, 2009 in the Church of the Nazarene in Denver City. Rev. Ken Stallings will officiate with the assistance of Rev. Harold Brown. The services are under the direction of Ratliff Funeral Home of Denver City.
Elmer Roy was born March 18, 1918 in Lincoln, Kan. to Reinhardt and Mary Hanneman. He attended schools there and entered the military service in September of 1942, where he served in the Air Corp.
He married June Markley in 1942 in Lincoln, Kan. Three children were born to this union, Michael Wayne of Abilene, Linda Stallings of Jonesboro, Kan., and Robert Dale of Denver City. Additional family members who survive him besides those mentioned above are two daughters-in-law, Rhea Ann and Resa Hanneman; son-in-law, Rev. Ken Stallings; five grandsons; one granddaughter; and four great-grandchildren. One grandson preceded him in death in 2007.
Elmer and June homesteaded in southern Idaho in the 1950s, participating in a veteran lottery for homesteads. After receiving the patent on his homestead, Elmer bought his first airplane and entered into aerial agricultural flying, a business he enjoyed for 35 years. He was especially proud of his sons and grandsons (and a few women of the family) who became pilots across the years.
Upon retirement, Elmer and June vacationed with their RV homesteading friends in Yuma, Ariz. for a few months of relaxation, reminiscing, and riding dune buggies over the sand hills and nearby mountains.
Elmer lost his eyesight to macular degeneration and was blind for his last 18 years.
The last years of his life became a scheduled program of kidney dialysis. He appreciated our local Denver City dialysis facility. He was transferred to the Veteran's Home in Big Spring in July of 2008.
He was a man who loved his family and worshipped his God whom he served unfailingly throughout the years. We will miss him.
The family suggests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Dialysis Services of West Texas at 500 West 5th Street, Denver City, TX 79323.
After services, a visitation will be held in the Church of the Nazarene Fellowship Hall.
