He passed away at the Queen Elizabeth II Hospital in Grande Prairie, Alberta, on October 13, 1999, reaching the age of seventy years. The first part of his childhood was spent at Crooked Creek, Alberta. In 1941 he with his parents moved to Linden, Alberta. They moved to Abbotsford, British Columbia, in 1948, where he resided until 1953. He was married to me, Maryana Wohlgemuth, on November 22, 1953, at Sunchild Mission, on the Sunchild Reserve, near Rocky Mountain House, Alberta. Our first winter was spent at Rocky Mountain House, Alberta, where Irvin worked in a sawmill. We moved to Linden, Alberta, for the following summer. In the fall of 1954 we moved to Crooked Creek, Alberta. For a few years he worked at the Dairy Pool in Grande Prairie, Alberta, but in later years his main occupation was farming. In 1997 we moved off of the farm into our retirement home in the hamlet of Ridgevalley, Alberta, where we resided until the present time. On July 9, 1941, upon the confession of his faith, he was baptized and became a member of the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite, at Crooked Creek, Alberta. Struggles as well as poor health often assailed him, but he endeavored to press on. He renewed his vows to God and was faithful to the end. This past year, though he was battling with cancer, was special for the family as they observed his calm trust and confidence in God. In his last days he was eagerly awaiting his call to go home. Those left to cherish fond memories are: his loving wife, Maryana; five sons: Arvid and Linda Thiessen, Neal and Kathleen Thiessen, Crooked Creek, Alberta; Ed and Val Thiessen Grande Prairie, Alberta; Clifford Thiessen, Clairmont, Alberta; and Ryan of the home; also four daughters: Sandra and Mark Raber, Crooked Creek, Alberta; Nina and Clint Wearden, Grande Prairie, Alberta; Leanna of the home; and Eva and Cam Peaster of the Brooksville Congregation, Macon, Mississippi; eighteen grandchildren; two sisters, Julia and Alex Szabo, Penticton, British Columbia, and Arlene and Al Adams, Yarrow, British Columbia; twenty brothers and sisters-in-law; and a host of relatives and friends. He was predeceased by his parents, one sister in infancy, and two brothers-in-law. Funeral services were held on October 18, 1999, at the Rosedale Congregation, Crooked Creek, Alberta. Ministers Adin Klassen, Trevor Penner, Lee Wohlgemuth, Dennis Toews, Ben Hiebert, and Henry Enns officiated. Burial was in the Rosedale Cemetery, Crooked Creek, Alberta, Min. Edward Boese officiating.
