Erika Schmidt of Waldheim, Sask. passed
away May 3 of cancer.
She was born Oct. 6,
1929 to johann and
Sara Isaak in Moscow,
Russia. Weeks later,
they immigrated to
Manitoba. They
moved to southern
Saskatchewan, then to
Glenbush, Sask. She
had to work hard because her mother was
sick. At 14, she accepted Christ; in 1947 she
was baptized, joining
Glenbush MB Church.
She attended Bethany
Bible Institute for 1 1/2
years, returning home
to care for her siblings
when her mother died.
After her father remarried, she became a
teacher for 3 years; later, she began the
kindergarten program
in Waldheim, which
she taught 11 years.
She married Vernon
Schmidt july 19, 1956.
She worked hard at
raising a family, gardening, sewing and
cooking. After 1965,
she and Vernon were
involved with the
Gideons. They made
trips to jamaica, Bahamas and Europe and
took family vacations
each summer. She
taught Sunday school
most of her adult life
and was involved in a
number of ministries in
church, including 8
years on the board of
administration. She
volunteered at the
MCC store. Community involvement included Home and School
Association, figure
skating club and local
news reporting. After
Vern died in 1992, she
stayed on the farm as
long as possible. In
1996 she moved to
daughter Loretta's
home. In 1998 she
moved to Waldheim.
She enjoyed reading,
doing crossword puzzles and playing Scrabble. She entertained
many people over the
years, including missionaries and Bible
school students. In
1994 a battle with cancer began. Numerous
surgeries and treatments helped for a
time. In 1999, after a
trip to Hawaii, ill health
returned. Throughout
these struggles, her
faith never wavered
and she remained
grateful. Predeceased
by Vern and 1 brother,
she is mourned by children Larry, Loretta
Bueckert and Lanny, all
of Waldheim, Lavonne
Derksen of Rosthern,
Sask., Lucille of B.C.
and LeeAnne of Saskatoon; 14 grandchildren; 1 sister and 3
brothers. The funeral
was May 7 in Waldheim MB Church, with
Clarence Peters ministering.
