Cornelia Lehn, known to friends as ?Nellie,? was born Dec. 15, 1920, at Leonadawka, Ukraine, the daughter of Gerhard and Sara Enns Lehn. The family emigrated to Hanley, Sask., in June 1926 and moved to Greendale, B.C., in 1941.
Lehn worked in overseas service in Europe with Mennonite Central Committee. Afterward, she attended Canadian Mennonite Bible College in Winnipeg, Man., and Bethel College in North Newton, Kan. She earned a master?s degree in journalism at the University of Iowa.
Lehn traveled extensively in North and South America and Germany to promote the Foundation Series, and while in Kansas was commissioned to write her first books.

Also in Kansas, Lehn sponsored a group of Vietnamese immigrants who attended Bethel College Mennonite Church in North Newton, Harder said, and was an avid supporter of nonpayment of war taxes.
Following her retirement, Lehn returned to Greendale, B.C., where she was a church deaconess and led Bible studies for women.
Cornelia was the author of God Keeps His Promise, Peace Be With You, I Heard Good News Today and The Sun and the Wind, the latter a retelling of one of Aesop?s fables. She also wrote The Homemade Brass Plate, a biography of Mary Jackson, a pioneer physician in northern Alberta.
Cornelia Lehn died July 2, 2005 - her funeral service was held July 6 at First Mennonite Church of Greendale.
