<center><h3>MRS. HELENE JANZEN</h3></center>

(Mrs.) Helene Janzen (nee Wiebe) was
'born on July 29, 1896 in Russia. After several
years of illness she passed away on October 9
while a resident of Tabor Manor, St. Catharines, Ontario.

She was married in 1920, and in 1922 was
baptized and received into the Mennonite
Brethren Church.

During the Second World War she was
separated from her husband and most of her
family. Consequently only she and her young
son Jim came to Canada in 1947. They
settled first in Manitoba, and five years later
moved to Ontario where she was reunited
with her son John. She lived in Beamsville
until about one year ago, when she moved to
Tabor Manor.

She is mourned by two sons and their
wives: John and Elfrieda of Beamsville, and
Jim and Hertha of Grimsby, Ont.; one
daughter Lena in the Soviet Union; four
grandchildren; three great-grandchildren;
and other relatives and friends.
