Helena P B Isaac

Lena Reimer Isaac was born to Peter I. and Margaret Reimer on December 31, 1920, at Greenland, Manitoba. She passed away at Bethesda Hospital, Steinbach, Manitoba, on October 10, 2007, at the age of eighty-six years.
In her mid-teens, she answered God's call and was baptized by Min. John A. Koehn into the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite on July 15, 1934. She remained faithful to her vows.
She lived at home with her parents until she was united in marriage to our father, Klass F. Isaac, on July 4, 1948. They lived a busy life on the dairy farm at Kleefeld, Manitoba, until they moved to their retirement home in 1987. Mother and Dad loved visiting and having company. The trips they made were highlights in their lives. They kept up contact with their in-laws, uncles and aunts, and friends. In 2002, she moved to Stonebridge Villa in Steinbach, Manitoba. Her last few months were spent at Maplewood Manor and Bethesda Hospital.
Mother was an energetic person. Her hands were never idle. She always was up to something-sewing, making quilt tops, washing, gardening, cooking-whatever it took to keep us all going. Her family's welfare was very important to her. Family gatherings, babysitting, visiting, and keeping up with family events were her specialty. She loved her children and grandchildren dearly.
She faced the challenges of life with courage and faith that encouraged us all. Singing and Bible reading exemplified her desire to be close to God, and family devotions were important to her.
She is fondly remembered by her children: Willard and Katherine; twin daughters, Lorna and Leana; Kenneth; and Russel and Kim; seven grandchildren; brother, Herbert and Ella; sister-in-law, Katie Reimer; in-laws: Jessie and Walter Braun, Herman and Frieda, Helen and Ray Leduc, and many nieces, nephews, and friends.
Her husband, two sons (one in infancy), her parents, three brothers, and two sisters preceded her in death.
Funeral services were held on October 13, 2007, at the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite, Kleefeld, Manitoba. Officiating ministers were Ralph Wiebe, Marshall Toews, and Edgar Wohlgemuth. The burial was in the adjoining church cemetery with Min. Lorne Schellenberg officiating.* Reference: Find A Grave Memorial - SmartCopy: Jan 24 2022, 3:28:34 UTC
