IRENE WIENS
Irene Wiens passed away Apr. 1. She was born Sept. 28, 1926 to John and Jesse Fast in Ukraine. The family came to Canada when she was a few months old. By this time, she had lost a sister; shortly after arriving in Canada, she lost her twin, Gredel. She attended Sunday school in a small country church. She accepted Christ at 11. In 1942 the family moved to Ontario. She attended Ontario Bible School 1944-45. She enjoyed going to church, singing and teaching Sunday school. She was committed to discovering and doing God's will. In 1955 she married Nick Wiens of Leamington, Ont. in the MB church in St. Catharines, Ont. She wasn't highly educated, but showed excellent qualities as a wife, mother and grandmother. She was a faithful member of Leamington MB Church for many years. She had a brain tumour, but even in her final 8 days said, "I'm praising the Lord every day." She passed away peacefully at home with family. Predeceased by Nick, she is mourned by children David, Kenneth, Judy, Kevin and Gordon; and 12 grandchildren.
