Christel Bense Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
She was a very beautiful, kindhearted, and spirited woman with a heart of gold. Christel was also one of the strongest individuals in the world, as she put up a near 10 year fight with cancer without ever backing down. She was a fighter for sure. She was a one-of-a-kind individual that put the needs of everyone she loved before her own.
Christel loved to travel all over regardless if it was the forest or beach she loved being a foodie and the outdoors experiencing all the adventures and fine cuisine of her travels, but most of all she loved her family and all the times spent with them.
Christel is survived by her loving husband Jonah Bense, Daughter Maraya Sisk, son Thomas, son Oxford and grandsons Isaac, Greyson, Wesley and Beckett. She is also survived by her parents Ray and Theresa Logemann, brothers Justin, Nathan, Quentin, and Vincent Logemann and sisters Misty Sease and Kinley Logemann. Along with in-law's and several nieces and nephews.
She is proceeded in death by grandparents, Kenneth and Marie Beymer, Leonard and Clarabelle Logemann, Father-in-law Daryl Bense and her aunt Connie Beymer.
A visitation will be held 10am Saturday morning, October 25, 2025 at Peace Lutheran Church. Service will follow starting at 11am with interment at Calvary Cemetery concluding services. In lieu of flowers donations can be sent to family to assist with care of the children.
