Obituary:
Harvey H. Ebben, 78, Hortonville, died at Living Tree Assisted Living Estates in Greenville, Saturday morning, Aug. 14, 2010, with family by his side. Harvey was born in Mackville, Wis., on May 17, 1932, the son of Peter and Mary (Rueden) Ebben.
He served in the United States Air Force from 1951 until his honorable discharge in 1955. On June 3, 1953, Harvey married Delores Mae Thern at Hortonville Baptist Church. He worked for Wisconsin Electric for 39 years, from 1956 until his retirement in 1995.
Harvey is survived by his wife, Delores Mae Ebben; children, Randall (Sandra) Ebben, Pardeeville, Wis.; Colleen (David) Ninneman, Waupaca, Wis.; and Kaylene (Jack) Engel, Oconomowoc, Wis.; grandchildren, Chris (Justyna) Ebben, Nathan Ebben, Brooke (Russell) Stainbrook, Joshua Ninneman, Brittany (Scott) Rollins and Kayla Ninneman (special friend, Mike Peotter); great-granddaughter, Kiley Peotter; sister, Lillian Kolmos; and brothers, Mike (Rose) Ebben, Jim (Judy) Ebben and Fran (Joanne) Ebben.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Mary and Peter; and siblings, Virgil Ebben and Evelyn Peters.
Harvey remained optimistic throughout his four year courageous battle with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). He was a true witness of living his life for God by using his gift of stewardship to help others.
