KAETHE NEUDORF
Kaethe Neudorf died Jan. 30 after a lengthy battle with cancer, family members at her side. She was born Oct. 12, 1928 in Schoeneberg, Ukraine and raised in a home deeply rooted in faith. Her father died when she was 8 and Kaethe's mother began to depend on her for many chores around the house. As a teenager Kaethe experienced turbulent war years. The family's move to Paraguay in 1947 and later to Brazil was a time of transition from those difficult years in Europe. In 1948, Kaethe was baptized upon the confession of her faith. She married Jakob Neudorf in 1950. The couple immigrated in Canada in 1958 where they provided a comfortable home for their family. Kaethe modelled gentleness and care, and had a wonderful sense of hospitality. When the world around her seemed to crumble, she was courageous and remained strong in her faith. Although Kaethe earned top grades in school, nothing surpassed her excellence as a mother. Predeceased by 3 brothers; 1 sister; she is mourned by Jakob; children Hildi (Jascha) Boge, Erica (Willy) Martens, Ursula (Bob) Betker, Adiena (Rudy) Loewen, Jake (Denise), Vic (Barb), Ingrid (Tim) Hiebert, Harvey (Stacy Douglas); 25 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; 2 brothers. The funeral service was Feb. 3 at North Kildonan MB Church, Winnipeg.
