Fern was born August 12, 1919 in Littleport, Iowa to John and Louise Bendschneider Enderes. She was an incredibly giving lady. She taught 8th grade in Palo before teaching 1st grade at Cleveland Elementary for over 35 years. Teaching was an honor and delight for her and the hundreds of students who passed through her classroom have as fond memories of her as she did of them. She enjoyed sitting on her front porch swing, talking with neighbors, and sharing candy with neighborhood kids. She will be remembered for her delicious cookies, cakes, candies, and pies, but most for her loving touch with people.

In lieu of flowers memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of Mercy.
