Helen Dueck passed away Oct. 29. She was born Sept. 15, 1908 to Jacob and Eva Reimer in Grunthal, Man. The family moved to a farm near Dunelm, Sask. in spring 1910. She was interested in the Christian faith and accepted Jesus at 26. She was eager to learn more and attended Herbert Bible School. She enjoyed teaching Sunday school; sewed clothing for relatives' children; and worked in a bakery in Swift Current, Sask. and as a seamstress at Swift Current Hospital. In 1968 she married Jacob Dueck. They farmed near Lucky Lake, Sask. until retirement. In December 1985 they moved to Swift Current and joined Bridgeway Community Church. They moved to Herbert (Sask.) Heritage Manor in May 1998 and later to Herbert Nursing Home. The funeral was Nov. 2 in Bridgeway Community Church, with Cliff Janzen ministering.
