MARGUERITE REMPEL
Marguerite Rempel (nee Barg) died Aug. 4. She was born July 24, 1915 in Tiege, Russia and came to Canada with her family in 1926, settling in Vineland, Ont., then moving to Kitchener. She married Cornelius (CJ) Rempel in 1938. When Cornelius became the first executive secretary of Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) in Canada, Marguerite had the opportunity to travel to numerous countries and welcome many guests from around the world into her home. There was always room for friends and family around her table and she loved to cook for a few or a crowd. Marguerite lived a life of service to others through her commitment to Kitchener (Ont.) MB Church, MCC, the Gideons, her family and friends. Predeceased by Cornelius, she is mourned by children Carol (Norman) Giesbrecht, Paul, and Betsy (Ron) Petker; grandchildren; great-grandchildren. The funeral was Aug. 8 at Kitchener MB Church.
