Read More	Paul Toews was born to Henry L. and Katie Unruh Toews on January 12, 1916, at Sunnyslope, Alberta, in their old homestead shack. He lived a full life, reaching the age of ninety-four years. He passed away peacefully on April 17, 2010, at the Linden Nursing Home, Linden, Alberta, with most of the family by his side. Dad grew up on his father's farm together with his seven brothers and sisters, learning to love work and make the best of life. He was taught good principles. Dad found a need for the Savior and was converted. He was baptized on February 11, 1932, becoming a member of the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite. He remained faithful to his vows. On August 18, 1940, Paul married Agnes Baerg of Linden, Alberta. This summer would have marked their seventieth anniversary. About a year after they were married, Dad gave four months of Conscientious Objector service at Jasper, Alberta, where his work consisted of landscaping at the hospital and road building. Dad was a farmer. His winters were spent logging west of Linden. He moved his family to the bush for the winter and ran a sawmill. Dad was a lover of song and composed numerous songs and poems. He loved to meet people, often getting their addresses. Later in his travels he would visit them, even in other countries. In the fall of 1963, Dad moved the family to the Peace River country, helping start the new congregation of Heart Valley, Alberta. Dad thoroughly enjoyed grain farming and clearing land with his boys until his retirement in 1985. That's when our parents took the challenge to spend two and one-half years as caregivers at the Seniors' Home at Hill Top Mission, Fort Vermilion, Alberta. They enjoyed this time very much. In 1997, the folks again were drawn back to Linden, Alberta, where they had grown up and spent their school years. Because of failing health, Dad moved into the Linden Nursing Home in 2005. Those left to cherish fond memories are his wife, Agnes; nine children: Gerald and Audrey, Pincher Creek, Alberta; Lorna and Eldon Toews, Linden, Alberta; Carolyn Klassen, Abbotsford, British Columbia; Gilbert and Phyllis, Sexsmith, Alberta; Verel, Linden, Alberta; and Doreen Toews, Alberta Beach, Alberta; Burt and Susan, Linden, Alberta; Darcy and Shirley, Sexsmith, Alberta; Monica and Rob Wohlgemuth, Crooked Creek, Alberta; and Wanda and Roland Thiessen, Stavi, Ukraine. Also remaining are one brother, Walter and Lydia, Linden, Alberta; and two sisters, Lottie Wiebe, Crooked Creek, Alberta, and Olive and Paul Baerg, Linden, Alberta; two brothers-in-law, Arnold and Anne Baerg, Linden, Alberta, and Dave and Dorothy Duerksen, Enderby, British Columbia; four sisters-in-law: Margaret Toews, Abbotsford, British Columbia; Anna Baerg, Linden, Alberta; Verda Toews, Linden, Alberta, and Lydda and Walt Regehr, Linden, Alberta; forty-four grandchildren and sixty-eight great-grandchildren. His parents, three brothers, one sister, and one son-in-law preceded him in death. Funeral services were held at the Linden Congregation, Linden, Alberta, on April 20, 2010. Officiating ministers were Bev Toews and Roland Toews. The interment was in Linden Cemetery, Linden, Alberta, with Min. Roland Toews in charge.
