We Remember

ELLENBERGER, Adam

March 1, 1931 — January 17, 2026

With great sadness, we announce that Adam Ellenberger, our dear Schatzi, Dad, and Opa, has gone home to his heavenly Father, after a brief illness and a life full of love in this world. He was 94.

Adam left behind his faithful and loving wife of 61 years, Edith; along with his children, Verena (Paul), Ingmar (Kirsten), and Ben (Christine Marie); and six beloved grandchildren and their partners, who blessed him with seven great-grandchildren and one more to be born in June.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Evangel Church Missions Fund in memory of Adam.

The family will gather for a private graveside service.

A longer obituary will be posted soon, along with information about a Memorial Celebration, to be held in March.

If you wish to send a condolence, post photos, or share a memory, please scroll down the page to the area called “Condolences”.

    I am so saddened to hear of Adam’s passing. He was Willf’s ushering partner at Evangel for so many years and we always enjoyed chatting with him and Edith every Sunday. I’m sure Willf was there to greet him with a hearty hug and handshake when Adam entered Heaven. My sincere condolences to Edith and your whole family.
