Obituary for Kenneth Arthur Enzminger
On Thursday, April 3, 2014 Kenneth Enzminger went to be with God. It was a blessing that his family was with him as he was released from his suffering.
Kenneth Arthur Enzminger was born on February 20, 1924 in Columbus, NE to Arthur W. Enzminger and Martha Schweizer Enzminger. He remained in Columbus until he was 17. He joined the Navy two weeks before the attack on Pearl Harbor. At age 21 he was a Chief Petty Officer. He was stationed in TN, FL, MD, WA, TX, RI, TN and CA. He served a tour at Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam and went to the Antarctic on 2 summer tours. He was proud to have flown to the South Pole with Lowell Thomas and his son and the Secretary of the Navy. Ken loved the Navy.
On November 8, 1946 Ken married Betty Jane Person in Columbus, NE. They have four children: Michele (Hilary) Lind of Lutsk, Ukraine; David Enzminger of Renton, WA; Kerry (Robert) Buell of Idaho Falls, ID and Kevin (Deborah) Enzminger of Yakima, WA. There are 9 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. Ken was very proud of his family.
Ken retired as a Chief Warrant Officer 4 (CWO-4) in 1972 having served 30 years in the Navy. He then worked at Melco Mfg. for 11 years as Plant Engineer.
The memorial service will be at Family Bible church at 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 12. Please send memorials to Doctors without Borders or Missionary Aviation Fellowship.
