Penner & Anna Friesen From the Chilliwack Progress: On Thursday, October 20, 2005 Mary Rempel passed away peacefully in her sleep at the Chilliwack General surrounded by loved ones. She was born Jan. 21, 1918 in Tatjanowska, Siberia, to Peter and Anny Penner. In early childhood she lost her hearing due to illness. Her early years were fraught with hardship, with her family moving several times to avoid persecution by authorities during a time of political and social upheaval in Russia. The family fled to Germany through Poland upon the outbreak of World War II. The Mennonite Central Committee assisted her and her 5 sisters and 1 brother to immigrate to Canada in the spring of 1948. After arriving in her new country she worked in nursing homes in both Ontario and Yarrow. In 1958 she married Neil Rempel, a widower with 7 children — 5 grown with children of their own, and the 2 youngest still at home in need of a mother’s care. She embraced her large, ready-made family without reservation, raising the 2 youngest as her own and delighting in each new family baby as the years went by. Whatever challenges life presented to this remarkable lady, she met with determination and resolve, armed with an unshakeable faith in her Savior, Jesus Christ. She was predeceased by her parents, 4 brothers and a sister in Russia, her husband, Neil, her sister, Annie Goertzen of Clearbrook and a grandson, Larry Rempel.
