passing she left the family farm and made her
home first in Steinbach, Manitoba, and then
in Winkler. She always maintained a great
concern for the welfare of the family . A
funeral service was held at the Horndean
Mennonite Brethren Church with Hev. G. D.
Pries and Rev. A. A. Hyde ministering.
She leaves to mourn her children: Annie
(Mrs. Andy) Brandt of Abbotsford, B.C.;
Peter and wife Helen of Steinbach; John and
wife Jessie of Plum Coulee; 14 grandchildren;
nine great-grandchildren; five sisters; four
brothers; and many friends and relatives.
