Enid Behrens

WESTMINSTER, Colo. — Enid Mae Behrens died May 7, 2022, at her home in Westminster, Colo., in the presence of her loving daughters, Linda Johnson and Moriah Haley and long-time friend and nurse, Moira Miller. A graveside committal service is set for 2 p.m. Saturday, June 10, in the Riverview Cemetery near Elmore, Minn.

Enid Mae Behrens (nee Little) was born June 12, 1933, in Fairmont, Minn., to parents Giles and Gertrude Little. Enid often told stories of a delightful childhood with friends and family members on her family’s farm near Blue Earth, Minn. She attended grade school and

high school in Huntley, Minn. and college in Mankato. After her time at college, she worked for a few years as an assistant bookkeeper for Railroad Motors in Fairmont, Minn. In 1955, she married Leal Behrens, an officer in the U.S. Air Force. During their miliary service time, they lived on several Air Force bases throughout the United States. Their first daughter, Moriah, was born in 1964, followed in a short decade by second daughter, Linda in 1973. Enid remembered fondly being stationed in England for three years and having visited every state in the union. She was also proud of visiting most of the countries in western Europe, along with Russia, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. After retirement from the Air Force, the family moved to the Denver, Colo. area where Enid worked in several schools, finally settling into a kindergarten teaching position at

Bellview Christian School where she taught for 18 years. Enid was loved by students, co-workers and parents alike. Enid’s special pleasures were snow skiing and playing bridge. She continued playing weekly games of bridge until she was stopped by COVID 19’s isolation. Enid is survived by her daughters, Linda and Moriah; her daughter-in-law, Susie Merrin; her son-in-law, Patrick Johnson; her sister-in-law, Pat Krumwiede; and many beloved and devoted nieces and nephews.
