Katarina (Katie) Hinz of Hepburn, Sask. passed away Mar. 26. She was born Mar. 17, 1905 to August and Maria Hinz at Laird, Sask. In 1910 the family moved to Hepburn. She accepted Christ at 13, was baptized Sept. 18, 1918 and joined Hepburn MB Church. She worked at home and did housework for others at Laird, Milden and Delisle, Sask. She worked at Waldheim (Sask.) Central Office for a while. She lived with friends in Saskatoon for a while. She hurt her back in a car accident. In 1941 she moved to the Saskatoon Sanatorium due to tuberculosis, staying 2 or 3 years; parts of 7 ribs were removed. She still managed to do housework, knit, crochet and make things. She lived alone most of the time. She was not known to complain. She was friendly and kind and had many friends. She never doubted her salvation and remained true to the end. She passed away peacefully at home. Predeceased by 5 sisters and 4 brothers, she is mourned by sisters Helen Friesen, Olga Unruh, Esther Fehr and Miriam; and brother Abe. The funeral was Mar. 31 in Hepburn MB Church, with Ross Penner and Jeff Peters ministering.
