<center><h3>MRS. MARGARET HIEBERT</h3></center>

October 24, 1911 in Jelanskaja, Ufa in
Russia, the daughter of John and Katherine
Neumann. In 1925 the family moved to
Canada, settling first in New Hamburg,
Ontario and then moving to Port Rowan,
Ontario a short time later. This town remained her home until her passing on
November 28, 1977. She accepted Christ as
her Saviour in her younger years and was
baptized in the Port Rowan Mennonite
Brethren Church in 1928. Henry Hiebert
became her husband on February 18, 1934.
Their marriage was blessed with 10 children,
two of whom predeceased her as infants.
Mrs. Hiebert, though quiet and reserved
by nature, was always ready and willing to
serve and enjoyed working with the ladies'
Missionary Group at the church. The warmth
of her friendship and her hospitality to both
friends and total strangers was truly a godly
example. The Word of God and joy in the
Lord were her strength, and her life was
characterized by faithful devotion to her
family.
Left to mourn are her loving husband,
Henry; her children: Carl of Waterloo, John
of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Gordon of Beamsville, Paul of Simcoe, Henry of Port Rowan
and Helen of St. Catharines, Ontario; Laura
of Elm Creek and Eleanor of Carman,
Manitoba; a brother, John Neumann, and a
sister (Mrs.) Susan Hildebrand, both of Port
Rowan; 22 grandchildren; and many friends.
