<center><h3>MARY RICHERT</h3></center>

Mary Richert died Sept.
4. She was born June
28, 1918 to Aron and
Helen Wiens in
Sagradovka, Russia. Her
father died when she
was 3 and the family
moved in with her
grandparents. They im-
migrated to Tourond,
Man. in 1928. When
she was 14 she began working in Winnipeg
and lived in the Mary Martha Home. She ac-
cepted Jesus and was baptized. She married
John Richert Oct. 5, 1952. They farmed near
Niverville, Man. John died in 1987. She loved
to cook, bake, knit, crochet and garden. She
loved books, so she found her blindness in
2000 difficult. She served others, was soft-
spoken and refined yet opinionated. She lived
out her faith, knowing that "He would never
leave her or forsake her." Predeceased by John
and 1 brother, she is mourned by sons John,
Victor, Walter and Harold; 7 grandchildren; 1
sister. The funeral was Sept. 8 in Fourth Av-
enue Bible Church, Niverville.
