She peacefully left us on June 2, 2004, at the Ridgevalley Home, Crooked Creek, Alberta, reaching the age of ninety-two years. In her growing years, she, as one of a large family of twenty-one brothers and sisters, helped her parents on the family farm. As a young girl, she gave her heart to the Lord, committing her life to Him. She was baptized into the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite. Her faith was precious to her all her life and was a source of strength that sustained her through the many experiences, joys, and difficulties of a long and full life. On March 27, 1932, she married Gerard Thiessen. They shared over seventy years of married life together until Dad's death on December 9, 2002. Motherhood for Minnie consisted of much hard work raising her family in true pioneering conditions unique to the homestead country of Northern Alberta. Mother and Dad opened their home to many other needs of various people as they gave themselves to the service of the Lord and the Church. In 1965, Mother and Dad moved to Armstrong, British Columbia, where there was a young congregation. Here Mother cared for numerous seniors in her home. In 1978, they retired to Enderby, British Columbia, where they lived until 1992. Then they returned to Crooked Creek, Alberta, moving to the Ridgevalley Home, where she resided until her death. Even though in her later years, she had some difficulty expressing herself, her smile and chuckle lit up her face and radiated to those around her. Left to share memories are her children: Lorne and wife, Josie, Crooked Creek, Alberta; Melvin and wife, Lena, Grande Prairie, Alberta; Eva and husband, Willard Toews, Crooked Creek, Alberta; Percy and wife, Eunice, Armstrong, British Columbia; and Pamela and husband, Jake Barkman, Abbotsford, British Columbia; twenty-nine grandchildren, forty-one great-grandchildren. Also surviving are three sisters: Amanda Reimer, Ida Reimer, and Rozella Esau; and two brothers, Carl and Fred. Her husband, her parents, six brothers, and nine sisters preceded her in death. Funeral services were held on June 6, 2004, at the Rosedale Church of God in Christ, Mennonite, Crooked Creek, Alberta. Ministers Lee Wohlgemuth and Trevor Penner conducted the service. Burial was in the Rosedale Cemetery, Crooked Creek, Alberta.
