HENRY LOEWEN
Henry Loewen passed away Oct. 18 at Donwood Manor Personal Care Home in Winnipeg. He was born Dec. 24, 1916. In early 1917 he was adopted by the Abraham J.D. Loewen family of Dolinsk, Russia. His parents were German prisoners of war living in that part of Russia at that time. When he was 9, the Loewens immigrated to a farm in Beechy, Sask. During the Depression, he worked in Manitoba with harvesting. He met Mary Isaak there, marrying her in 1938. They lived in Saskatchewan, British Columbia and Manitoba. His main occupation was carpentry. He last worked at Eaton's in Winnipeg for 25 years. He retired in 1980. He was a devoted, loving father. His steadfast Christian faith guided him throughout his life and was the source of the serenity during the health problems he had later in life. Ps. 31:14 was important to him. He was a member of Springfield Heights Mennonite Church, Winnipeg. Predeceased by Mary in 1997, he is mourned by children Martha Klassen, Adeline Klassen, Victor, and Mervin Scott; 10 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. The funeral was Oct. 25 at Klassen Funeral Chapel, Winnipeg, with Frank Isaac, Laura Friesen and Henry Kliewer ministering.
