SARA ANNE JANTZEN

Sara Anne Jantzen passed away Feb. 9 at Central Haven Nursing Home, Saskatoon. She was born July 16, 1911 to Gerhard and Sarah Berg in Goessel, Kan. In 1913 the family moved to a farm near Brotherfield, Sask. When she was 11, the Lord said to her, "Cheer up. Your sins are forgiven you" (Matthew 9:2). Soon after, she was baptized. She married Edward P. Jantzen Oct. 28, 1932. They farmed near Brotherfield. In 1974 they retired to Waldheim, Sask. They both enjoyed singing in the church choir and Golden Age Choir. She enjoyed teaching Sunday school for 31 years and ministered to others by playing organ and piano. She was alert to the end; her last words reflected Jesus' love for her and others. Predeceased by Edward, 3 brothers, 2 sisters and a grandson, she is mourned by her children Alvina Block of Winnipeg, Archie of Arelee, Sask. and Grace of England; 7 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; 3 sisters and 1 brother. The funeral was Feb. 12 in Waldheim MB Church, with Clarence Peters ministering.
