HILDA LANGEMANN
Hilda Langemann of Coaldale, Alta. passed away Oct. 14 after a lengthy battle with cancer. She was born Nov. 28, 1911 in Schoenfeld, south Russia, the 2nd of 12 children. Her early years were spent on her grandfather Peters' estate while her father served in the Forestry Service and later as an orderly on the front in World War 1. The family fled to Marienthal. In 1925 the family immigrated to Acme, Alta., later acquiring a farm near Swalwell, Alta. In 1925 she attended Coaldale Bible School. Here she met Nick Langemann; they married in 1933. They bought land in Sardis, B.C., but after the flood of 1948, returned to Coaldale. They lived briefly in Chicago, Wheaton, Ill. and Winnipeg to be close to their children, but returned to Coaldale. Their home was known for classical and choral music, beautiful flower gardens, excellent baking, particularly zwiebach, and the making of many quilts and comforters. She was a nurse's aid in Coaldale Hospital for many years. In retirement, she and Nick spent many hours working in the Lethbridge (Alta.) Soup Kitchen. Her last years were spent in Sunny South Manor, then Sunny South Lodge. Predeceased by Nick in 1991 and a granddaughter, she is mourned by children Rita Stobbe, Ralph, Sigrid Schibler and Helen Masson; 5 grandchildren; 8 great-grandchildren; 4 brothers and 1 sister. A memorial service was held Oct. 18 in Coaldale MB Church, with Lorne Willms and Rudy Heidebrecht ministering.
