Deconess [sic] Called By Death at Beatrice

SISTER SARAH REMPEL SERVED IN MENNONITE HOSPITAL FOR 27 YEARS

Beatrice, Neb. — Funeral services were held at the First Mennonite Church here Friday, Jan. 10, for Sister Sarah Rempel, 75, member of the deaconess sisterhood of the Mennonite hospital who served at the hospital for 27 years before her retirement in 1945.

Sister Rempel died at the Deaconess Home on Jan. 7.

A native of Henderson, Neb., she homesteaded in Canada from 1903 to 1911, and also served for a year at the children's home and home for aged at Hillsboro, Kan. Coming to Beatrice soon after the Mennonite hospital opened, she completed her nurses training here and then received further training at the Bethesda Deaconess hospital in Cincinnati, graduating in 1918.

She is survived by one brother, Gerhard Rempel of Beatrice; one sister, Mrs. Gertrude Peters of Newport, Wash.; three half-brothers and a half-sister living in Saskatchewan; and a niece, Mrs. Louie G. Wiebe of Beatrice.
