text of obituary:
MRS. SARA DYCK
(Mrs.) Sara Dyck went to be with the Lord after a lengthy illness on September 2. She was born on March 20, 1911 in the village of Sharapov, near Omsk, Russia, the daughter of Johann and Margareta (nee Dyck) Giesbrecht. Though a weak child, she distinguished herself in doing good and helping others. She accepted the Lord as her Saviour at an early age and was baptized at the age of 14 in Neu Samara. She moved with her family to Canada in 1926. She graduated from the Winkler Bible Institute four-year course in 1938 and went on to nurses' training in Winnipeg. She worked as a nurse at Winnipeg's Concordia Hospital until she married Jacob I. Dyck in 1956. The family was overjoyed at the birth of a son in 1958. Her beloved husband passed away in January, 1976.
The first symptoms of chronic leukemia were diagnosed in 1968. For a time it could be controlled medically, but she often lacked strength. Her firm faith in the Lord sustained her, and though she wanted to live and care for her son, she realized her serious condition and found solace in God's Word. Although she would have liked to remain alive, she committed her personal life to the Lord and was prepared to accept his will.
She will be sadly missed by her two daughters, (Mrs.) Nelly Klassen and (Mrs.) Kriemhilde Wiebe; a son, Jacob; four grandchildren; two great-grandchildren; and many other relatives and friends.
