JEAN NEUFELD

Jean Neufeld died peacefully in her sleep June 27. She was born to John and Martha Schmidt July 28, 1935. Jean grew up near Waldheim, Sask., then attended business college in Saskatoon. In 1955, she married Wilmer Neufeld. This pleasant union resulted in 3 children, Cheryl, Douglas, and Brian, and 5 grandchildren who were the centre of Jean's attention and dedication. Near the end of her working years, Jean and Wilmer relocated to Abbotsford, B.C, where Jean's volunteer work with the Mennonite Central Committee book department and the Mennonite Historical Society of B.C became her passion. Her efforts will be remembered as fruitful in the ministry of the MB denomination. The funeral was July 3 at Bakerview MB Church, Abbotsford.
