MARY STRIEMER

Mary Striemer died Nov. 25. She was born Jan. 9, 1934 on a farm near Hague, Sask. to David and Maria Penner. She married John Striemer Oct. 22, 1952. Throughout her life, Mary devoted herself to the Lord, her husband and 12 children. Mary loved gardening, singing, reading and doing her daily devotions. Times weren't always easy for Mary, especially with such a large family, but she worked hard to teach her family about God and the value of family and life. She kept a positive attitude and found time to discuss many issues with her family. Predeceased by John in 2003; son Abram; she is mourned by children Shirley (Gordon) Weenk, Wes (Shirley), Martha (Albert) Levesque, Mary Ann (Ron) Smith, Harvey (Cathy), Hilda (Brian) Finlay, Olga (Mike) Fletcher, Ruth (Harvey) Loewen, Margaret, John, Cheryl (George) Havoshi; 24 grandchildren; 5 great-grandchildren.
