Our dear companion, Mother and Grandmother, Mrs. Helena Toews, was born to Henry and Elizabeth Bartel, April 19, 1893, at Greenland, Manitoba. She lost her mother in her early childhood. Her father, after having found in Anna Dyck a mother for the children, soon moved to Hochstadt, Man. There in the spring of 1910 she found her Saviour and joined the Church of God in Christ, through baptism, and there she was united with me, Isaac Toews, in holy matrimony, on Dec. 20, 1911. We shared joys and sorrows for almost 50 years. To this union were born 7 sons and 2 daughters. On October 28, 1961, at 2:30 A.M. she passed away at the age of 69 years, 6 months and 9 days. The cause of her death was diagnosed as Coronary Thrombosis. She was a true Christian, however not without struggles. She often felt and confessed her shortcomings and mistakes. She was to me a true helpmeet, sharing cheerfully the duties of my ministry. She was a true mother, giving herself in unselfish service to her family and others. She suffered often, more than many realized, yet remained always uncomplaining. Mother will be remembered for her cheerful disposition, her simple, trusting faith, and the many letters she wrote. We made our home at Linden, Alberta until the fall of 1955, then spent 3 years at Sunchild Mission, near Rocky Mountain House, Alberta. Home to us for the last 3 years was Crooked Creek, Alberta. Many precious memories will remain of this short eventide. It was here that, together, we built our first new house. We felt a warmth of love from the brotherhood there. We were at Sinclair, Manitoba, helping our son Dan remodel his house. After writing letters in the evening to all her family, she went to bed and quietly passed away in her sleep. On October 29, many relatives and friends attended a funeral service in our church at Sinclair. We are very grateful for the kindness that was shown us there. She was predeceased by two grandchildren. Those left to mourn her passing are: her bereaved husband; Martha and Harvey Holderman, and Norman and Elsie Toews of Bonners Ferry, Idaho; Annie Toews, Dan and Marie Toews of Sinclair, Manitoba; Sam and Eleanor Toews of Crooked Creek, Alberta; Ben and Pauline Toews of Calgary, Alberta; Alberta and Anna Toews, Milton and Margaret Toews, Gladwin and Luanna Toews of Linden, Alta. 35 grandchildren, 1 great grandchild; four brothers, Henry of Abbotsford, B. C.; John and Jacob of Steinbach, Manitoba, Ben of Greenland, Manitoba, Elizabeth (Mrs. John W. Toews) and Katherine (Mrs. A. F. Reimer) of Linden, Alberta, and many other relatives and friends. We have the assurance that as she walked with Gad in life she is with Him now in death. "Thanks be to God Who giveth us the victory through Jesus Christ our Lord" 1 Cor. 15:57 See you in the morning! Mother, you have gone. Free from each temptation Rest until the dawn. Free from aching body, Free from toil and strife; See you in the morning, In a fuller life. Never hiding teardrops, Underneath your smile; See you in the morning Mother, afterwhile! Funeral services were held at the Linden Mennonite Church, near Linden, Alberta, on Oct. 31, 1961, with Min. Alvie Esay of Crooked Creek, Alberta, and Ministers F. F. Hiebert, Daniel Boese and Jacob Baerg participating. Deacon Pete Thiessen of Crooked Creek, Alberta conducted the graveside services. Interment was made in the nearby cemetery.
