<center><h3>HELEN NEUFELD</h3></center>

Helen Neufeld died
peacefully Sept. 23. She
was born Apr. 17 to Jo-
hann and Helena
Neufeld in Nikolaipol,
Russia during the time
of revolution and
famine. In 1923 her
family immigrated to
Canada, where she
quickly learned English
and persevered to become a teacher. She loved
young children and taught mostly grade 1. He-
len loved her Lord and Saviour and had a great
concern for the lost, demonstrated by her sup-
port of the church and many missionaries. She
was known for her hospitality, had a flare for
gardening, and loved to memorize Scripture
and poetry. Predeceased by sisters Mary and
Kay and brother Henry, Helen is survived by her
siblings Nettie, John, Lydia, Elma, Frieda; and
numerous nieces and nephews. The funeral
was Sept. 27 at Herbert (Sask.) MB Church.
