MARY PAULS
Mary Pauls of Abbotsford, B.C. passed away July 3. She was born Oct. 20, 1914 to Peter and Elizabeth Martens in Warman, Sask. She accepted Christ at an early age. She was baptized and joined the MB church. She married Henry H. Pauls Nov. 14, 1935. They moved to British Columbia. Life was not always easy, but Mary had a positive outlook on life. When troubles arose, she would say, "Don't worry; God knows what He is doing, and He knows best. He'll take care of us if we will only trust Him." She and Henry served on the church catering committee and in other ways. Henry died in 1986. She moved to Evergreen Village in Abbotsford. She hosted her family the day before her sudden death. Predeceased by Henry and 2 brothers, she is mourned by her children Wilmer, Ron, Ed, Jake, Grace, Marlene, Audrey, Vic, Carol and Dan; 26 grandchildren; 18 great-grandchildren; 2 sisters and 1 brother. The memorial service was held July 8 in Clearbrook MB Church, Abbotsford, with Jay Neufeld and Eldon DeFehr ministering.
