PENNER April 16, 1934 - July 31, 2014 Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. (Isaiah 40:31) It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Henry R. Penner. Henry passed away peacefully, during an afternoon nap at home on July 31, 2014, with his loving wife by his side. Henry leaves behind his life partner of 53 years, Donna (nee Bell); children Layna Penner and her husband Fred Goeke, Mona, and Lucas and his wife Jackie Hogue, as well as his grandchildren, Kirsten, Signe, and Lara Penner-Goeke. He was predeceased by his parents, David F. and Helen Penner, parents-in-law Clarence and Ethel Bell, his sisters Anita and Evelyn, and in-laws John, Arno, Peter, Glen and Elizabeth. He is survived by his siblings, Elnora, Mary, Stan, Caroline, Wes, Winston, Leonard, and Ken and their families, as well as in-laws Dan Giesbrecht, Clare and Donna Bell. Henry was born in Lorette, MB and moved to Landmark at a young age where he attended school. He continued his education at the University of Manitoba where he obtained a B.A. and B.Ed. It was at Manitoba Teachers' College where he met Donna, whom he lovingly referred to as "the woman of my dreams". In his early years, he worked at several family businesses including the family farm, Penner Puff Wheat Company, and a logging operation in National Mills, MB. He enjoyed all his teaching years, including schools in Tourond, Plumas, Gladstone, Thompson and Winnipeg. His last 17 years of teaching were spent at Springfield Colony, where he made many lifelong friends. Henry always loved camping and travelling, especially during his 25 years of retirement. In the summer of 2013, Henry and Donna spent 46 nights camping at Falcon Lake among family and friends. Henry had a strong Christian faith and a generous spirit which led him to spend many years volunteering for churches and other organizations, including 22 years at Harvest Ministries on Nassau Street. He played and coached sports, and was the first president of the Hanover-Taché Hockey League. Henry and Donna raised their family on a farm, which Henry liked to refer to as "the first farm in Eastern Canada", as it was located near a sign marking the centre of Canada. They later moved to Landmark and then St. Vital, where Henry loved his daily walks along the Seine River. The family would like to thank the health care professionals and the Palliative Care Team, who made it possible for Henry to spend the last few months at home with his family. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to EMC Missions or Mennonite Central Committee in memory of Henry. His funeral will be held at Prairie Rose Evangelical Mennonite Church in Landmark on Wednesday, August 6 at 2:00 p.m. A fellowship meal will be provided by Heartland Community Church after the service. Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea, But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell, When I embark; For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crost the bar. - Tennyson As published in the Winnipeg Free Press on August 02, 2014 (As of this posting, there is no headstone.)
