NORMAN JAMES MACKIN
Aug. 15, 1937 — Sept. 23, 2005

Norman passed away suddenly, Friday morning, Sept. 23, 2005, after suffering a heart attack. Norman had been enjoying retirement with his beloved wife June, and visiting family in their native Liverpool, England. Norman and June had spent the summer touring around Europe. They had just returned to England from a wonderful week in Portugal when Norman collapsed in the Manchester airport. To everyone's loss, he was never revived.

In addition to his wife June, he is also survived by his mother Charlotte; his sons, Roy, Paul and Norman; his daughters-in-law, Michele and Stephanie; and his grandchildren, Jonathon, Andrew and Alyssa. Others who will miss Norman are his two best friends and brothers-in-law, Frank Pauls of Port Coquitlam, B.C. and Richard Pauls of Winnipeg, Man., and their respective wives, Margaret and Shirley, Carol and Bernard Sebastian of Port Coquitlam, Edna Pauls of Liverpool, England, and countless other family in Liverpool and friends from Winnipeg, Ste. Anne and Steinbach, Man.

Services for Norman are taking place in both Liverpool, England and Winnipeg, Man. While services are being conducted in Liverpool, a memorial service will be held at the same time at Green Acres Funeral Home, Oct. 5, 2005, at 9 a.m.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Norman's favourite charity, the Muscular Dystrophy Association of Canada.

Grandma enjoyed cooking, baking, sewing, gardening and all types of farm animals. In 1974 they sold the farm to retire near Ste. Anne, Man. They resided on a hobby farm until October of 2002, when they purchased a home near Beausejour, Man., to be closer to Sean and Joanne. Here she still enjoyed having fresh vegetables from her garden this summer, with the help of her sister-in-law, Eve Washnuk, who tended to it with Emily's husband Mike. Her dear and close friend, Gladys Hastmann, was always there to help her out with many other things through the years.

A special thanks to her homecare worker, Dorothy; also Dr. Van Rensburg and to the Beausejour ambulance attendants.

JACOB F. KORNELSEN

Oct. 9, 2005, our husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Jacob F. Kornelsen, passed away peacefully at Ste. Anne Hospital, after a short battle with cancer.

Our dad was born July 31, 1931 to Isaac and Elizabeth Kornelsen at Heuboden (Kleefeld), Man. He was baptized in 1948 at Blumenort, Man. At the age of 17, he moved with his parents and siblings to Mexico. It was here that he met and married his wife, Elizabeth Hein, June 29, 1952, at Quellen Colony. Dad was always a hard worker, working at many different feed mills while farming at the same time. Life was hard in Mexico, with many disappointments. In 1958, the parents, with three young children, tried their hand at making a new life in Belize, then British Honduras. This did not work out well either, so 2 1/2 years later they moved back to Mexico. In 1971, the family moved to Canada, where they lived in Blumenort while Dad worked at A.K. Penners for a few years. Later Dad and Mom moved to Regina, Sask. for a few years, where Dad again worked at a feed mill. Moving back to Manitoba around 1985, they settled in Steinbach, and began attending the Calvary Chapel, where they felt accepted and loved. Dad was a great prayer warrior, who for many years attended prayer meetings on a weekly basis. His faith in God was sincere and his great desire was to see his family know and live for Christ. Dad and Mom were well known for going for coffee every day. Dad was also a family man, who loved nothing more than getting together with family for wiener roasts or supper and especially to play table games. Who can forget his excitement while playing "Aggravation?" Three weeks ago, Dad was taken to the hospital, where his health continued to decline until his passing.

Jacob is survived by his wife of 53 years, Betty; two sons, Abe (Marcy), Frank (Elizabeth) of La Broquerie, Man.; and one daughter, Sarah of Winnipeg, Man.; also by 10 grandchildren, Lilly Rempel (sons Ethan and Quillan), Lucy (Willie) Friesen, Tony Kornelsen, Joey Kornelsen, Charles, Cheryl and Andy Kornelsen, Rachel Bueckert (daughter Samantha), Sarah (Dan Pelletier) and Isaac Bueckert (fiancée Suskya Geerligs). There are also two brothers and five sisters left to mourn his passing. He was predeceased by his parents, three brothers, son Richard in 1975, and two children in infancy, as well as one granddaughter, Felina, in 1985.

A service in memory of Jake was held Wednesday, Oct. 12 at Birchwood Funeral Chapel, with interment at Heritage Cemetery, Steinbach, Man.

From the heart of
MARIA HARDER

I, Maria Harder, was born Oct. 8, 1917 to Peter and Maria Klassen in Pansy, Man. I lived there till I was 10 years old when together with my parents and siblings, I moved to Paraguay. When I was 13 years old my mother died of a poisonous snakebite, leaving behind her husband and nine children. Because I was the oldest, I was left to take on the responsibility of my younger brothers and sisters.

At age 18 I was baptized upon my confession of faith in Jesus Christ by Elder Martin C. Friesen. At age 19 I married Cornelius F. Harder, with whom I shared the joys and sorrows of life for 50 years - minus two weeks. In our life together we did a variety of things. We owned a farm in Volverk, Paraguay, farming cotton and peanuts. We had a fruit orchard and many heads of cattle. I also loved working in my flower garden. I especially loved the roses. Our hearts' desire was to raise children who needed a home, so we took in many children who brought us much joy. We had the opportunity to welcome Neta and Deidrich into our home, and decided to make them family. As a family, we decided to move to a leprosy mission and worked there for a year. A few years later we decided to add to our family and took in Victoria and Suzie. As we got older and the farm got too much for us, we built a house and moved to Loma Plata. We kept the farm and cattle in Volverk for a while. We lived in Loma Plata till Cornelius died on Sept. 29, 1986. While Cornelius was still alive we would work closely with the Native Indians, building homes for them and teaching the ladies to sew blankets and clothing. I would like to take this opportunity to thank those of you from Canada who shipped clothes and supplies to help with our mission work. After my husband, Cornelius, passed away, I decided to make my home in Canada, where most of my brothers and sisters and children lived. Since 1988 I have made my home in Winnipeg, Man. For the most part I have enjoyed it here, but found English language difficult to speak and understand. Praise God for the German church services, Bible study group and ladies meetings I was able to attend whenever possible.

Predeceased by: my husband Cornelius F. Harder; parents, Peter and Maria Klassen-Funk; four brothers: Abram Wiebe, Peter Klassen, Johann Klassen and Frantz Klassen; two sisters: Agatha Klassen and Neta Klassen; two sisters-in-law: Anna Klassen and Agatha Wiebe; and one brother-in-law: Johann Wiebe.

Survived by: four children: Nettie (Ben) Toews, Diedrich (Anne) Dueck, Victoria Wiens, Susie Klassen; and many grandchildren and great-grandchildren; two sisters: Tina Wiebe, Anna (Johann) Giesbrecht in Winnipeg; one sister-in-law: Tina Klassen in Paraguay; many nieces, nephews and friends.

Maria passed away Monday, Oct. 10, 2005 at Concordia Hospital in Winnipeg at the age of 88 years.

The funeral service was held Thursday, Oct. 13, 2005 at the North Kildonan Mennonite Brethren Church, Springfield and Gateway, Winnipeg, Man. Interment at Grunthal Cemetery.

If friends so desire, donations may be made to Family Life Communications, 200 - 600 Shaftesbury Blvd., Winnipeg, MB, R3P 2J1.
