Read More	Agnes Penner Bartel was born to Jacob M. and Margaret Barkman Penner at Landmark, Manitoba, on September 24, 1907. She peacefully left this world on January 4, 2004, at the Maplewood Manor, Steinbach, reaching the age of ninety-six years. In her early childhood, Mother moved with her parents onto a farm in Greenland where she grew to womanhood. Mother's happy childhood was touched with sorrow when her younger brother Willie died. Even greater was her sorrow when she lost her mother at the age of eleven. The care of the family of seven fell largely on her and her older sister Mary. It was a big responsibility, but Mother loved children. She lovingly cared for the six-month-old baby, and she was heart broken when Baby Annie died six months later. Fortunately, they soon got a new mother. It seemed her sorrow-filled childhood only made her more compassionate and tender hearted toward others. Mother was converted at the age of seventeen. She was baptized into the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite on May 9, 1925. She was steadfast to her faith until the end. On December 18, 1927, she was joined in marriage to our father, Ben Bartel. They shared the joys and sorrows of life for nearly sixty-three years. Their early married life wasn't easy in the midst of the depression, but their strong faith in God helped them to endure courageously. Mother's shy, gentle nature endeared her to people. It wasn't unusual to have people call her for remedies when their children were sick. Sometimes she would send a pot of soup to a sick neighbor. Mother was gentle yet strong, bearing ten children at home and tenderly caring for them. A special memory is her account of a time when they were very poor and she didn't know how she'd feed her family. She sighed a prayer, and just like that a prairie chicken flew in the window, and there was supper. We cherish a lifetime of memories of her unselfish ways and gracious manner. Little children were very important and special to her. She enjoyed handwork and hemmed countless dresses for her granddaughters. She dearly loved her family and was interested in her children's and grandchildren's lives, often asking about them. She would often admonish them to not do anything they would regret later. The family's spiritual welfare was important to her. Her ever-present smile cheered everyone who met her. In May, 1989, Dad and Mother moved to the Maplewood Manor. Father died October 6, 1990, leaving Mother lonely. We are comforted with the assurance that she has gone home. Those left with precious memories are her children: Gladwin and Audrey, Qualicum, British Columbia; Lorena and Levi Boese, Linden, Alberta; Jacob and Lorraine, Nanoose, British Columbia; Eldon and Paulina, Benito, Manitoba; Albert and Louise, Whiterock, British Columbia; Clifford and Vivian, Saltcoats, Saskatchewan; Adeline and Dewayne Warkentin, Ste. Anne, Manitoba; and Larry and Connie, Norquay, Saskatchewan; fifty-six grandchildren; 154 great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild; four sisters: Linda Wiebe, Steinbach, Manitoba; Elda and Erwin Giesbrecht, Whitemouth, Manitoba; Tina and Jonas Toews, Whitemouth, Manitoba, and Marlena and Alfred Goossen, Rosenort, Manitoba; four brothers: John and Evelyn, Norquay, Saskatchewan; Ed and Amanda, Grandview, Manitoba; Marvin and Luanna Martin and Grace, Whitemouth, Manitoba; and one sister-in-law, Kathryn Penner, Steinbach, Manitoba. She was preceded in death by her husband, one daughter-in-law, one grandson-in-law, her parents, three sisters, and five brothers. Funeral services were held January 7, 2004, at the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite, Greenland, Manitoba. Ministers Elroy Penner and Melvin Penner officiated. Interment was in the church cemetery.
