HANNA PLETT
Hanna Plett died Jan. 17. She was born July 29, 1915 to Peter H. and Mary Jantzen and grew up on her parent's farm in the Waldheim, Sask. district. In 1927, she was baptized and received into membership at the Brotherfield MB Church where she enjoyed singing in the choir led by her father. At 24, she married Wilfrid Plett and together they built up the family farm where they lived for the next 54 years. She saw her role in life as that of a supportive helpmate, giving behind-the-scenes assistance as she could. Hanna tended and harvested an enormous garden, first for the family's welfare and later to donate produce and canned goods to Bethany Bible Institute. When most of the children were grown, Hanna and Wilfrid adopted a son and spent their early senior years raising him. Hanna was actively involved in the Brotherfield Church for over 73 years, participating in Ladies Aid quilting bees and other projects. She and Wilfrid often brought flowers from their garden to adorn the worship space or added produce to the Thanksgiving display. Predeceased by son David; 5 siblings; she is mourned by Wilfrid; children Esther, Ruth (Thor) Skafte, Geri Vee, Gladys Neufeld (Clayton Beish), Jane (Murray) Epp and Jeffrey; many grandchildren and great- grandchildren; 1 brother; 1 sister.
