GERHARD BARGEN
Gerhard Bargen died peacefully Dec. 3 at age 102. He was born Mar. 1, 1903 in Schoenau, Ukraine to Jacob P. and Helena Bargen. He married Suse Wiens Mar. 6, 1926. Later that year they immigrated to Canada where they farmed in the Glenbush, Sask. area. Widowed in 1981, Gerhard retired and moved to Saskatoon. He lived independently until age 101 when his daughter provided a home for him. Prayer and Bible study were essential to him. A well-worn Bible attested to his diligence. He is mourned by his children Henry (Anne), Helena (Arnold) Stobbe, Mary (Lewis) Warkentin, Sue (Bill) Born, Anne Willems, Jake (Laverne), Elizabeth Wallace, Gary (Marg); 35 grandchildren; 73 great-grandchildren; 1 sister. The memorial service was Dec. 8 at the Dalmeny (Sask.) Funeral Chapel.
