HELEN NEUFELD

Helen Neufeld died peacefully Sept. 23. She was born Apr. 17 to Jo- hann 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. He- len loved her Lord and Saviour and had a great concern for the lost, demonstrated by her sup- port 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.
