HENRY H. WIEBE
Henry H. Wiebe, formerly of Vineland, Ont., passed away June 22. He was born Apr. 22, 1912 to Heinrich and Katharina Wiebe in Omsk, Siberia. In 1926 the family immigrated to Elm Creek, Man. In spring 1927 he accepted Christ; he was baptized Aug, 7, 1927, joining Elm Creek MB Church. He enjoyed singing in a quartet and the church choir. He married Katie Penner June 9, 1935. They farmed in Elm Creek. They moved to Beamsville, Ont. in 1941, then to Vineland. They joined Vineland MB Church. They farmed near Vineland and St. Catharines, Ont. He also worked for General Motors for 34 years, retiring at age 70. In his 50s, he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. With treatment and prayer, the disease remained largely in remission; he was in good health, working hard on the farm until age 82. On Mar. 13, 2000 they moved to St. Catharines. In the past 2 years he suffered poor health, but though he often was unable to speak clearly, he prayed fervently for his family. Predeceased by 2 brothers, 4 sisters and 6 siblings in infancy, he is mourned by Katie; daughters Mary Leveille, Katie Hochhalter, Anne Neufeld and Erika Sawatzky; 9 grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; 3 step-grandchildren; and 7 step-great-grandchildren.
