She peacefully passed away at the Maplewood Manor in Steinbach, Manitoba, on March 15, 1997, reaching the age of eighty-two years. Most of childhood her years were spent a Linden, Alberta and Cudworth, Saskatchewan. Her father passed away when she was thirteen years of age. The following year she moved back to Linden, Alberta, with her mother, two brothers, and two sisters, and two years later on to Crooked Creek, Alberta where she later took out a homestead. At the age of ten she got converted, and at seventeen she reconsecrated her life. On July 18, 1932, she was baptized into the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite, by Min. Frank Hiebert. She embraced this faith until the end. On September 10, 1944, she married our father, John D. Penner, becoming a minister's wife and a mother to his twelve children. This union was blessed with eight more children. In 1975 Mother and Father moved to Swan River, Manitoba, so they could be near to the younger family. In November of that year Father passed away, leaving her lonely and with the responsibility of the sons living at home. After her son Monroe passed away in 1981, whom she had spent many hours caring for because of his being handicapped, she was more lonely. She loved to come to our homes and spend time helping wherever she could. In 1984 she moved into an apartment at the Maplewood Manor. After a short while she moved back to Swan River. When she found it difficult to care for herself, she returned to the Maplewood Manor where she resided until her death. Those left to cherish her memory are eleven sons and five daughters: Darrell and Carolyn of Sherwood Park, Alberta; Rick and Karen of Swan River, Manitoba; Wayne and Phyllis of Benito, Manitoba; Ken and Darlene of Swan River, Manitoba; Janet and James Goossen of Swan River, Manitoba; Melvin and Elvera Penner of Rosenort, Manitoba; Dolores and Phil Miller of Kelowna, British Columbia; John and Naomi of Grandview, Manitoba; Leonard and Evelyn of Sinclair, Manitoba; Vera and Alvin Nightengale of Okeene, Oklahoma; Elmer and Esther of Morris, Manitoba; Gladwin and Ella of Morris, Manitoba; Menno and Pauline of Swan River, Manitoba; George and Martha of Grandview, Manitoba; Rosina and Ed Goossen of Rosenort, Manitoba; and Betty and Walter Goossen of Grandview, Manitoba; two sons-in-law, Bert Penner of St. Mary's Ontario, and Lee Hiebert of Blossom, Texas; one daughter-in-law, Naomi Penner of El Campo, Texas; eighty-two grandchildren and ninety-seven great-grandchildren; two brothers, Don and Bea Dierker of White Rock, British Columbia, and Edward Dierker of Grand Prairie, Alberta; one sister, Emeline and Norman Builder of Vernon, British Columbia; one brother-in-law, Sam Duerksen of Langley, British Columbia; one aunt, Rose Dierker of Cudworth, Saskatchewan; three sisters-in-law and one brother-in-law; and many nieces, nephews, and friends.
