Penner slipped peacefully into the waiting arms of his Lord. He passed away in the palliative care ward at the Assiniboine Centre in Brandon, Man., just 17 days shy of his 90th birthday. Archie grew up on a homestead in Landmark, Man., the seventh child of Peter M. and Mary W. Friesen Penner. After his father died when he was 18, Archie became a fervent believer in Christ and this faith guided his entire life. While teaching at Steinbach Bible Institute (now SBC), Archie fell in love with one of his students, captivated by her beautiful brown eyes. She returned his affections and on May 18, 1947, Archie married Elvira Suderman Friesen and they had three children between 1948 and 1956. Archie always insisted that his wife get equal credit for his accomplishments. Without Elvira’s support, sacrifices, and income, Archie’s education and subsequent teaching would not have been possible. Archie was ordained a minister in the Steinbach Kleine Gemeinde Church (now EMC) in 1953 and immediately provided leadership for the small group of Mennonites. He wrote the constitution for the Evangelical Mennonite Conference and was elected the first moderator of the Conference. He continued his service to the Steinbach EMC both as minister, then pastor, and continued teaching at SBI until 1961 when he and his family moved to the U.S. for further education. Archie pursued theological studies and a liberal arts education at Winnipeg Bible Institute, Goshen College in Indiana, Wheaton College in Illinois, and the University of Iowa. Archie had a PhD and MA, which aided him as a freelance preacher and a Bible college and seminary professor. During this time, he enjoyed spending his summers farming with his sons in Kola, Manitoba. Archie loved to preach and teach, and was especially passionate about instructing others in radical Anabaptism. At the age of 82, Archie taught his last class at Steinbach Bible College. He then turned full-time to writing. A near-death experience in 2005 after the amputation of his second leg gave Archie renewed energy, and he finished two more books before his passing. In all, he authored seven books, plus many manuscripts and pamphlets. Archie often declared how much he loved Jesus, his wife, and his family. His optimism, encouragement, and passion for truth will be deeply missed. Archie is survived by his wife of 60 years, Elvira, of Brandon; son James (Joy) Penner of Calgary; daughter Lucille (Bob) Yutzy of Kola; son Earl (Florence)Penner of Kola; 11 grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, and sister Ruby (Archie) Plett of Landmark. Archie was predeceased by his parents, four brothers, and three sisters. The funeral service was held December 5, 2007, at Prairie Rose Evangelical Mennonite Church in Landmark, with burial at the church cemetery. - His Family as printed in the Messenger, vol. 46, no. 3, February 6, 2008
