She departed from this earthly life on Nov. 14, 1967 in our home in Steinbach, Manitoba, reaching the age of 67 years, 6 months and 1 day. At the age of nearly 16 years she felt her lost condition without a Saviour and was converted. She was baptized by the late Min. Wilhelm Giesbrecht on April 16, 1916 and thereby added to the Church of God in Christ, (Mennonite), remaining true and faithful to her end. On December 26, 1930 she was united in holy matrimony to me, Abe C. Toews by Min. P. A. Penner. We shared joys and sorrows for nearly 37 years. We were blessed with two sons. We lived at Greenland, Manitoba 22 years. After that we moved to Linden, Alberta for 12 years. Here our sons were married. In 1964, wife and I moved onto a farm near Whitemouth, Manitoba. In 1966 we sold our farm and moved back to Greenland for a little while then to Steinbach, Manitoba where we resided at the time of Mary's departure. In the later years Mary was handicapped by the disease multiple sclerosis and finally became a full wheelchair patient. Nevertheless she kept up going to church services as much as possible. On Monday evening the day before she passed away she attended the farewell held for Min. and Mrs. John P. Dueck previous to their going to India. Including in her illness she suffered several strokes and was hospitalized at such times. Her departure came unexpectedly. Several women had arranged to visit her on Tuesday afternoon, November 24. One sister had already arrived. Mary had reached down to get something from her purse and mentioned "what's wrong with my head" and--she passed into eternity. She leaves to mourn her departure me, her deeply bereaved husband and two sons with their families, namely: George and Joyce and 7 children living in West Minister, B. C. and John and Laurel of Calgary, Alberta, also 9 brothers and 3 sisters and many relatives and friends. We fully trust and believe that through the mercies of God and her constant faith in Him she is now resting "Safe in the arms of Jesus." Funeral services included: at the Funeral Home in Steinbach where Min. Abe G. Penner had a short sermon, at the Greenland Church where Dave W. Penner made the introduction and Min. John I. Penner chose for a text Isaiah 40:6-8; John 7:13-17. Interment was in the adjoining cemetery where Min. Denver Wiebe was in charge of graveside services. Dear Sister, you have left us now To be in heaven's glory. In humbleness we also bow To hear of your life's story How you have suffered, many times You could not do as others, But now you rest in sweet sublime Where suffering no more bothers. No heat nor cold can interfere No doubts no fears forever; Where everything to you is clear And disappointments never. So, rest in peace now, Mother dear, And we shall still remember Your works on earth draw us so near To our dear soul's Redeemer. --The Family.
