Helena Wall of St. Catharines, Ont. passed away Mar. 14. She was born Aug. 3, 1908 to Kornelius and Justina Fast in Ukraine. Her mother died when Helena was 8; her father married Helena Wiens a year later. He died when she was 13, and she went to live with the Kroeker family. She accepted Christ at 17 and was baptized and joined the MB church May 25, 1925. At 21 , she, 2 sisters and her brother-in-law went to Germany, where she worked with sick and dying children in the refugee camp where they stayed. They immigrated to Paraguay, settling in Village No.4. She married Heinrich Wall Sept. 15, 1932. In 1973 they moved to St. Catharines, joining Scott St. MB Church. Heinrich died in 1991. She considered her grandchildren and great-grandchildren a blessing from the Lord. She spent her final years in Tabor Manor. In her last words to her children, she rejoiced in the truth of Phil. 1:6. Predeceased by Heinrich and a grandson, she is mourned by her children Erna Boldt, Lydia Klassen, Gerhard, Kathy Hein, Ernst and Herbert, all of Canada, and Heinrich, Sara Enns and Magda Flaming, all of Paraguay; 28 grandchildren; 50 great-grandchildren; 1 brother and 1 sister. The funeral was Mar. 16 in Scott St. MB Church, with Paul Fast and Marvin Klassen ministering.
