He died Dec. 11, 2002 at the Virden District Hospital at the age of 80 years. Dad grew up in the Kleefeld area. July 24, 1949, Dad married the girl next door, Margaret Bartel, and together they built up a successful dairy operation. Here they lived and worked and raised their children. They sold the farm in 1977 and moved to a mixed farm in the Elkhorn, Man. area, where they continued to live till their passing. At a revival meeting in the spring of 1940, Dad surrendered his life to God and took Jesus as his Savior and Lord. All his life he faithfully contributed his time, talents and tithes, first at the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite in Kleefeld and then at the Kola Evangelical Mennonite Church in Kola, Man. In his retirement years, Dad enjoyed a variety of activities. He helped his son and son-in-law farm as long as he could. He enjoyed making things with wood and all his grandchildren have "treasure chests" made by their grandfather. Though Dad was a quiet man, we will always remember him for his words of wisdom and his sense of humor. These stayed with him to the end. Since Dad was diagnosed with heart failure at the age of 45, he never expected to outlive Mom. It was a very difficult time for him when she suffered and died of cancer six years ago. Dad lived on the farm until four days before his death. He liked to be independent as much as he could, and never wanted to be a bother to anyone. He appreciated that all his children could spend time with him in the days before his departure. Dad leaves to mourn his passing his stepmother, Lottie Penner Wiebe, his children: Roger (Dawn) of Medicine Hat, Alta., Karen (Lorne) Schellenberg of Tyndall, Man., Gene of Elkhorn, Man., Patsy (David) Schellenberg of Elkhorn, Ivan (Faren) of Stoney Plain, Alta., 17 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren; two brothers, Neil (Adina) of Kleefeld, David (Adeline) of Kleefeld; three sisters, Lottie Penner of Stenen, Sask., Matilda (Bill) Isaac of Camrose, Alta., Lorene (Alfred) Isaac of Birnie, Man.; as well as brothers-and sisters-in-laws, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. He was predeceased by his beloved wife Margaret; his parents John I. and Margaret Penner; a daughter Faythe, and a son Dale; two sisters, Henrietta Wiebe and Margaret Wiebe; and one brother, Albert. A memorial service was held at Carscadden Funeral Chapel at Virden, Man., Dec. 13, 2002. Funeral service and interment was held at Kola EM Church Dec. 14, 2002.
