<center><h3>MRS. MARY DUECK</h3></center>

The entire life of (Mrs.) Mary'Dueck (nee
Braun) was characterized by service. Many
families knew her as "Tante Mariechen"
because of her service in their homes as a
nurse and helper. She was born in Russia,
the daughter of the Henry Brauns, and
graduated as a nurse from the Morija
Nursing School in Halbstadt, Russia. After
moving to Canada she continued her nursing
duties in private homes whenever possible,
and cared for her aged parents. At this time
she also enjoyed teaching Sunday school at
the Kitchener (Ont.) Mennonite Brethren
Church.
Later in life she married Mr. H. Sukkau of
B.C. After his passing she married Peter
Dueck of Winnipeg. Mothering and grandmothering these families gave her much
pleasure. No occasion passed where she did
not remember everyone of her family with
visits, letters and other tangible tokens of
affection.
When the time came for her to enter a
home for the elderly she did it graciously,
planning every step and adjusting well. The
last years of her life were spent in the Tabor
Home in Clearbrook, B.C. Her life of service
ended in March, 1976, when the Lord called
her home.
She is survived by one brother, Henry
Braun and his wife Mary, in the U.S.; one
brother Jake, and family in Russia; and
many nieces, nephews, and friends.
