Lena is survived by six children, 17 grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren: Nancy and Jerry Friesen of Rosenort, Man. and their children; Orville and Jenni Kehler of Rosenort, and their children; Angela and Peter Siemens of Rosenort, and their children; Rebecca and Don Reimer of Mitchell, Man. and son Dustin; Christine and Jim Warkentin of Yorkton, Sask., and their children; Paul and Lisa Kehler of Steinbach, Man., and their children. She also leaves one sister, Anne Krueger of Steinbach, and one brother, Paul Enns of Tampa, Florida. She was predeceased by one daughter, Mary Jane, in infancy; one grandson, Adam Kehler, in infancy; and one brother, Erwin Enns. Lena was born in South Russia on May 1, 1924, and immigrated to Canada with her parents, Isaac and Helena Enns, and younger sister Annie. They settled in Morris, Man., where Mom spent her youth. She enjoyed working side by side with her father, who owned the Morris Jewellery Store. Spending time boating on the Morris River, playing piano for her church, or just enjoying spending time with friends and her siblings, Annie, Erwin, and Paul, kept Mom very happy. Sadly, in 1947 her father died of tuberculosis, and Lena took this very hard. Mom met Dad in 1948 at a social function and they got married Oct. 16, 1949 in Morris. They spent their married years between Altona, Rosenort, and Steinbach, raising their six children. Mom loved to knit sweaters and touques for her 17 grandchildren. Many beautiful embroidered pictures and tablecloths were made for her girls. In early April, Mom's health took a turn for the worse, as she suffered a number of strokes. On May 4, at Bethesda Hospital, Mom was relieved of her earthly suffering, and went home to be with her Lord and Savior. The family would like to thank the nursing staff on the first floor and the rehabilitation department at the Bethesda Hospital for their gentle care of Mom. We would also like to thank the home-care staff at Woodhaven, which had been a great blessing to Mom and Dad. We would also like to express thanks for the pastoral visits, the extended help we have received in planning two funerals, and for all of the prayers, cards, food, and visits during this time of loss. The funeral service will be officiated by Reverend John Dyck and Ben Friesen. Viewing will be held at the EMC, Main Street, in Steinbach at 7 p.m., Thursday, May 11. Funeral services will be held at the EMC at 2 p.m., Friday, May 12. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Mennonite Central Committee.
