Church Triumphant - Mervin Ottemann

Mervin Richard Ottemann entered the Church Triumphant on December 14, 2011. Pastor Bruce Berggren presided at the December 17th funeral at Martin Luther Church.

Mervin, a lifelong member of MLC, was a farmer and continued to be active on the farm until this past year.  We celebrate with his family in that Mervin had been a child of God while here at his earthly home for over 91 years. 

MLC church family extends their sympathies to Lila, his wife of 65 years;  and to his children, Kenneth Ottemann and wife, Annette; Sharon (Ottemann) Kuti and husband, John; and Joyce (Ottemann) Badertscher and husband, Roger; and also to Mervin's 9 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.   Lila, Ken and Annette are current members of MLC.  Sympathy is also extended to a brother and sister-in-law, Arnold and Laura Ottemann, who are members of MLC. 


Jesus said to her [Martha],
"I am the resurrection and the life. 
Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live,
and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die."
John 11: 25-26
