Philip Loewen of Hepburn, Sask., passed
on to be with the Lord on June 17 at the age
of 67. He was born on October 22, 1907, the
first child of his parents, at the family
homestead at Langham, Sask. He grew up
in a God·fearing home and enjoyed many
happy experiences with his parents. In his
later teens he found salvation through
Christ and on August 4, 1930 he was
baptized upon his confession of faith and
became a member of the Hepburn (Sask.)

he was not spared inner struggles, he
always found new strength in the Word
of God. He attended Bethany Bible Insti·
tute and graduated with the first class in
1928.
On November 26, 1933 he was united in
marriage with Tina Friesen of Hepburn, a
marriage blessed with two sons, Edmund
and John. They spent many years farming at
Hepburn and enjoying the fellowship of the
church. His first wife passed away in 1969.
He was given a second helpmate in Betty
Loewen of Yarrow, B.C. in 1970, a union
that brought many happy times together.
He is survived by his wife Betty; two
sons, Edmund and John, and their spouses,
of Saskatoon; seven grandchildren; four
brothers, and their families and two sisters
and their families; and his mother, at the
Holiday Home in Langham, Sask.
