SUSANNA VOTH

Mrs. H. S. (Susanna) Voth was born in 1882 in Haskett, Manitoba. As a child she spent a good deal of her time in her father's class room and learned to read at five. At an early age she accepted Christ as her Saviour, and joined the Winkler MB Church in 1900. She attended Winkler and Gretna schools, but being the oldest child of a large family was needed at home to assist her mother. The Voths were amongst the earliest pioneers in the Winkler area.

In 1904 she married Henry S. Voth of Bingham Lake, Minnesota. For 49 years they shared joys and sorrows. Since her husband was an evangelist and often away from home, much of the training of the family fell upon her shoulders.

Soon after their marriage, a move was made to Oregon, where her husband served the Dallas and Portland congregations for 7 years. After a stay in Mountain Lake, Minn., they settled near Roland, Manitoba, and after 1945 in Winkler, where Mr. Voth served as church leader for 19 years. After Mr. Voth's death in 1953 Susanna moved to the Tabor Home and later the Salem home, where she remained until her death. Her last years were marred by a gradual decline in health after a stroke in 1970. She died on December 20 at the age of 90. In her diary she had written: "Christ gives life the spiritual dimension without which life has no ultimate meaning."

Funeral services were held in the Winkler M.B. Church with H. R. Baerg, F. H. Friesen and G .D. Pries officiating . Left to mourn are 3 daughters, 3 sons, and their respective families, including 12 grandchildren, as well as 3 sisters and 4 brothers.
