Mom was born on her parents' farm at Swalwell, Alberta. She had a happy childhood growing up with her two sisters and five brothers. Mom attended the Fertile Valley School for eight years, and took ninth grade in Swalwell. Mom gave her heart to the Lord when she was thirteen and was baptized, becoming a member of the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite, on December 20, 1943. She would gladly testify of God's love and grace in her life. Mom carried a concern for the spiritual welfare of all her family and left us with an example of selfless living. The trips Mom went on in her youth were a highlight in her life. She took a six-week trip with her mom, dad, and sister, Beulah, to visit relatives in various states. When she was twenty, her family spent a winter in California, where Mom worked in the Turlock Hospital. On August 16, 1953, she married our father, Ervie Toews. Mom was a constant support to him, sharing life's joys and sorrows for sixty years. Together they raised five children. As a young mother, Mom had poor health and spent about half a year living with her parents while Dad and Cal stayed at his folks and Lois stayed with Uncle Alvins and Uncle Crists. After thyroid surgery, her health improved, and she enjoyed good health. Together Mom and Dad shared their hearts and home with anyone who came to their door. Mom's career was homemaking. She loved gardening, was an exceptional cook and a talented seamstress. If you stopped by in summer, you would leave with garden vegetables or fresh-cut flowers. She enjoyed having company and babysitting her grandchildren. In recent years, Mom struggled with dementia. In April of 2013, she began having mini-strokes. Dad and Mom moved from their home to West View Suites this past January. They lived there together until March 13 when she broke her hip. Mom relied on Dad to answer for all her frustrations in her memory loss. He became her total support, and she was never relaxed if he was not close by. The last nine weeks of her life were spent in the Three Hills Health Centre. These left to cherish fond memories are her husband, Ervie, and their five children: Calvin and Norma, Swalwell, Alberta; Lois and Nelson Wohlgemuth, Stettler, Alberta; Ruth and Gary Klassen, Linden, Alberta; Dorothy and Brian Reimer, Dewberry, Alberta; and Eldo and Sally, Linden, Alberta; along with twenty-three grandchildren and twenty-seven great-grandchildren; two sisters: Beulah Isaac, and Joann and Elmer Esau; one brother, Dewey and Doreen Unruh: five sisters-in-law: Margaret Fehr, Margaret Unruh, Helen Unruh, Selma Unruh, Marj and Jim Baerg; and one brother-in-law, Melvin and Vera Toews. Loved ones gone before are a stillborn son, one sister, four brothers, and one great-granddaughter. Funeral services were held at the Linden Congregation, Linden, Alberta, on May 27, 2014, with Ministers Roland Toews, Gary Klassen, Bert Toews, and Andrew Koehn officiating. Burial was in the Linden Cemetery.
