Walter Edwin Kreidel, age 87, of Franklin, TN passed away August 21,
2019.
Walter and his wife Mary Nelle Kreidel served as missionaries in Brazil for
over 30 years. There, they planted churches, teaching and investing in
the lives of men and women who are still carrying on the work of
evangelizing to this day!
After he retired, they made their home in Franklin, TN to be closer to
their children, where they have lived for the past 14 years, continuing to
serve and invest in the lives of others.
Walter leaves a legacy that is personal yet far reaching. He had an
infectious love for others and passion for making disciples. His everpresent
smile and joyful laugh will be missed. Though Walter passed from
this earthly home, he has gained his reward in heaven.
