HELEN NEUFELD
Helen Neufeld died peacefully Sept. 23. She was born Apr. 17 to Johann and Helena Neufeld in Nikolaipol, Russia during the time of revolution and famine. In 1923 her family immigrated to Canada, where she quickly learned English and persevered to become a teacher. She loved young children and taught mostly grade 1. Helen loved her Lord and Saviour and had a great concern for the lost, demonstrated by her support of the church and many missionaries. She was known for her hospitality, had a flare for gardening, and loved to memorize Scripture and poetry. Predeceased by sisters Mary and Kay and brother Henry, Helen is survived by her siblings Nettie, John, Lydia, Elma, Frieda; and numerous nieces and nephews. The funeral was Sept. 27 at Herbert (Sask.) MB Church.
