iese Neufeld died
peacefully Mar. 22 . She
was born June 2, 1907
in Margenau, Russia to
Gerhard and Barbara
Reimer. She enjoyed
a happy childhood.
At 14, Liese accepted
Jesus Christ as her Sav-
iour, was baptized upon the confession of her
faith, and joined the MB Church in Margenau.
After WWI, the family immigrated to Germany
and lived in a refugee camp. They decided to
move to southern Brazil where they had a hard
beginning clearing the jungle. Liese married Jo-
hann in 1932 and they moved to Curitiba where
Liese enjoyed singing in church choirs. After her
husband's death, she moved back to Germany
to join some of her children and, in 1966, they all
immigrated to Canada. Liese was blessed by the
spiritual nurture she received at North Kildonan
MB Church, Winnipeg. It was her prayer that
her whole family would accept Jesus as Saviour.
