BECKY CHARMAINE JANZEN

Becky Charmaine Janzen of Olds, Alta. passed away Dec. 31 after being hospitalized for an apparent case of pneumonia. She was born July 25, 1980 to Ike and Frieda Janzen in Saskatoon. She was born with spina bifida, which meant many doctor appointments, surgeries and nights in hospital. At 3, she began school in Hague, Sask. She also attended school in Three Hills, Midway and Linden, Alta. and graduated from Olds Horizon School at 19. She was baptized Jan. 3, 1999. She had a passion for God and an ability to cheer people. She loved praying, reading the Bible, going to church and Bible studies, playing Uno, talking on the phone, playing on the computer while listening to music, drinking Tim Horton's coffee, being taken out for supper and having company. She is remembered for her strong hugs, phone calls, lopsided smiles, amazing memory, stubbornness and unconditional love. She is mourned by her parents; grandparents; siblings Tracey Colyn, Eric, LeeAnn Fehr, Wanda Goossen and Amy Janzen ; and special friend Dustin James. The funeral was Jan. 4 in Prairie Tabernacle, Three Hills, with Konrad Loewen, Howard Peters and Ralph Klassen ministering.
