On July 10, 1931, a precious girl was born and suddenly the world became a better place. Bennie Pfeil was greatly loved by her mother, Sudie Wilson, but her mother died when Bennie was 18 months old. Her father then abandoned the young girl, but her grandparents took her and raised her. She spoke often of her longing to see her mother, whose death date was January 16, 1933. On Wednesday afternoon, January 14, 2015, Bennie was received by Jesus into Heaven and finally got to see her mother after 82 years of separation.
Bennie was a blessing to many people, and was happy to be able to spend the last several years of her life working with family members and friends at the Kingdom Keys Network. Her work at the radio station was fulfilling to her and an asset to the ministry. She loved her family and was excited about grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She served the Lord and longed for His return. She left a wonderful legacy, and finished her course well.
She is survived by her son, Ricky Pfeil and wife Diana of Amarillo; daughter, Debbie Shelton of Amarillo; 5 grandchildren, Michael Shelton and wife Letty of Amarillo, Jeremy Pfeil and wife Erin of Amarillo, Rachel Gallagher of San Antonio, Mark Shelton of Austin and Nathan Pfeil and wife Megan of Austin and 4 great grandchildren, Liviya, Phoebe, Favor and Enoch Pfeil.
She was preceded in death by her parents; and husband, Art Pfeil in 1996.
