Aganetha Block of Clearbrook, B.C. passed
away Mar. 16. She was born June 21, 1908 to
John and Katherine Peters in Hochfeld,
USSR. In 1924 the family immigrated to
Mexico, where she accepted
the Lord. In 1926 they immigrated to Rush Lake, Sask.
She re-established contact
with Peter Block; they married Nov. 27, 1927. They lived
in Herbert, Sask. They were
baptized and joined Herbert
MB Church, where they had
their first experiences of service and fellowship. They were poor but
happy. In 1937 they moved to Swan River,
Man. A farmer at heart, she enjoyed milking
cows and tending her garden. Seven years
later they moved to Yarrow, B.C., where they
had a beautiful home and garden. In 1951
they moved to Clearbrook, where Peter operated a service station. They were involved in
various church ministries; she belonged to a
ladies' singing group that served at funerals
and other occasions. She showed strength of
character during Peter's 2 heart attacks,
learning to drive so she could visit him in hospital. Peter died in 1979. She stood up well to
the loneliness, growing beautiful roses. She
spent her last 5 years in Tabor Manor. She
seldom complained, was thankful for her care
and looked forward to meeting her Lord. Predeceased by her husband, son John and 2 sisters, she is mourned by her children Erna of
Prince George, B.C., Dora Friesen of Clearbrook and Ernie of Prince George; 13 grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; 1 brother
and 1 sister. The funeral was Mar. 21 at
Woodlawn Funeral Home, with J.E. Klassen,
John C. Dyck and Peter Dueck ministering.
