She passed away at Bethesda Hospital, Steinbach, Manitoba, December 1, 1980, reaching the age of 86 years, 2 months, and 13 days. She grew to womanhood in Greenland. At the age of fifteen, she found repentance and forgiveness, and was baptized into the Church of God in Christ, May 10, 1910. On October 19, 1913, Mother was united in marriage to Peter D. Goossen by Min. William Giesbrecht. Our parents shared life's joys and sorrows for over fifty-eight years, when Father passed away suddenly on March 18, 1972, leaving Mother very lonely. She spent almost eight years in an apartment at the Maplewood Manor by herself. Mother was hospitalized July 17, 1980, and on August 6, 1980, she had surgery, and she did not regain her strength. She spent the remaining days in the hospital. Mother was of a quiet nature, completely giving herself in working and caring for the family. She had a concern and prayed for them. She went through many struggles and trials, but it seemed she also found victory. In her sickness, she was resigned to leaving this world for a better home. She sang a verse of the song, "0 Think Of My Home Over There" in German to herself. Left to mourn her passing are nine sons and four daughters: Frank and Margaret, Ste. Anne, Manitoba; Anna and Dick Janzen, Whitemouth, Manitoba; Marie and Clarence Toews, Elma, Manitoba; John and Lizzie, Ste. Anne, Manitoba; Linda and John Friesen, Blumenort, Manitoba; George and Agnes, New Norway, Alberta; Tina and Alvin Bartel, Steinbach, Manitoba; Peter, Crooked Creek, Alberta; Aron and Doreen, Aldergrove, British Columbia; Daniel and Rosella, Pincher Creek, Alberta; Roy and Vivian, Mt. Lehman, British Columbia; Robert and Florence, Edberg, Alberta; Gerald and Ellen, Ferintosh, Alberta; seventy-one grandchildren; sixty-two great-grandchildren; one brother, Peter and Margaret Reimer; three sisters: Marie and John Reimer, Tina and Jake Loewen, Susan Reimer.

Funeral services were held at the Greenland Church on December 4, 1980. Ministers Jesse Friesen and Alfred Barkman were in charge. Graveside services were conducted by Min. Orville Friesen.
