ELIZABETH BLOCK

Elizabeth Block of St. Catharines, Ont. passed away July 22. She was born Aug. 15, 1910 to Peter and Liese Petkau in Orenburg, south Russia. In 1926 the family immigrated to Canada. She was baptized and joined Steinbach (Man.) MB Church June 7, 1927. She married Abram J. Block Oct. 20, 1929 at Oxbow, Sask. She was a skilful homemaker. She faithfully supported Abram, whose ministry as a preacher and teacher required many moves. She did not complain. Her family was her first priority. She loved music, had a beautiful singing voice, encouraged her children to be involved in music and enjoyed playing guitar duets with Abram. In 1980 they moved to Tabor Apartments. Predeceased by Abram in 1982 and son Peter in 1992, she is mourned by children Elsie, John, Agatha Braun, Abe, Frieda Peckham, Lydia Wiens, Daniel, Dave and Walter; 25 grandchildren and 52 great-grandchildren. The funeral was July 26 at Scott St. MB Church, St. Catharines, with John Block and Tom Friesen ministering.
