MATILDA (TILLIE) DORIS MARSHALL SNEAD 1930-2006 Peacefully, June 20, 2006, Tillie passed away with family by her side as she lost her year-long battle with cancer. Her memory will be lovingly remembered by her only son Kerry, daughter-in-law Susan, grandchildren, Blake and Brittney; brothers, Eddie, Ray (Mildred), Lorne (Rose); sisters, Margaret, Mavis (Walter); and brother-in-law Ken (Audrey). She was predeceased by her husband Norman and parents, Tom and Doris, as well as two sisters and three brothers. Tillie was born in Vita, Man., July 4, 1930, and raised in the Woodmore, Man. area. Always helping at home, she soon learned to be a wonderful cook and baker of bread and buns. In 1951, she married Norman Snead and they farmed in the Woodmore area until Norman passed away in 1993. She was an active community member, working hard for over 50 years with the Woodmore Women's Institute and as a 4-H leader for 15 years right up till the age of 75. Her teaching and active role with youth in the 4-H club kept her young at heart. After Norman's passing she moved to Steinbach, Man., where she could be closer to her family, especially her grandchildren, Blake and Brittney, whom she adored. She soon became the neighborhood grandma for Fernwood Bay and Coral Crescent. Tillie was an active member of the Steinbach United Church and the Serving Seniors organization, which included helping with the preparation of meals for the Meals on Wheels Program. Tillie enjoyed playing various card games, and learned to play bridge at the age of 64, sewing with her 4-H girls, and knitting many mittens and afghans kept her busy. We would often come home and be pleasantly surprised to find the counter full of meat pasties, buns, cookies, pickles and pies, as well as the ironing done. She had a green thumb when it came to her garden and flowers and looked after her own yard right up until a year ago. Last summer she was diagnosed with cancer and fought through chemo and radiation treatments. The hardest blow came with the loss of her eyesight, but she met every challenge with determination. We would like to take this opportunity to express our deepest gratitude and heartfelt thanks for all the love, prayers, acts of kindness, visits, phone calls and support shown to us from all of our family and friends during Mom's illness. To the wonderful staff from Steinbach Home Care Program, the support of the Steinbach Cancer Care Staff, the dedicated care of Dr. Gordon Dyck and the Bethesda nursing staff, we thank you for making Mom's journey of this dreaded disease bearable. Aunt Margaret - no words can express the love and support you have given our family. Truly there is no sister like you and we will be forever grateful to you.

MARIE NORDSTROM Marie Blanche Olive (Pollard) Nordstrom passed away unexpectedly June 15, 2006 at the Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria, B.C. She was born May 18, 1928 in Pinewood, Ont. She married Lloyd Duane Nordstrom in 1953 and had four daughters, Debbie, Rhea, Bernice and Colleen. We are brokenhearted by our sudden loss. She was a remarkable woman, born ahead of her time. She was a woman of strong faith and vision, with a kind and generous spirit, adventurous, outspoken, entrepreneurial, and fiercely independent. She believed education was the key to life, and was herself a life-long learner. She had a passion for traveling, country life, the ocean, Northern Manitoba, horticulture, quilting and cooking. She was committed to family and community service and her role as a mother was most important. During her working life she had many jobs and her final position as a counselor was her most rewarding. She loved shopping and derived immense pleasure in giving. She is survived by her immediate family: Debra Andersen, Bernice and Lynn Humphrey, Colleen and Gerry (Hunt) Nordstrom; her grandchildren whom she adored, Bo Erik Andersen, Peter and Manon Humphrey; her sisters, Lynn Prestidge, Rose Delorme, Jean (Noella) Bleeker, Helen Schmidt, and her brothers, Jules (and Helen), Joe (and Margaret, deceased), Harvey, and John (and Peggy) Pollard; her Nordstrom family: Lawrence and Ruth Nordstrom, Clarence and Fern Nordstrom, Arnold and Selma Nordstrom, Lil and John Hebel, Mary and Dave Klippenstein, and Elaine and Karl Tosberg; many nieces and nephews whom she loved like her own children, who often sought her valued advice; numerous extended family members and friends in Alberta, Manitoba, British Columbia and New Zealand; and, last but not least, very special friend, Cecil Gracey, who adored her and brought her much happiness. She was predeceased by her husband Lloyd in 1998; beloved daughter Rhea Dawn Friesen in 1994; mother Olive (Bruneau) Pollard in 1989; father Joseph Theodore Pollard in 1997; sister Rae Penner in 1998; father-in-law John Nordstrom in 1963; mother-in-law Jennie (Lind) Nordstrom in 2002; and her precious grandson, Tim Humphrey, in 2005. In spite of tragic losses and significant health challenges, she remained fully engaged in life with optimism, determination, poise, and humour. She was one-of-a-kind who will be sorely missed by all whose life she touched and will remain in our hearts forever.

Keeping occupied was not a problem for our mother. She loved to be intellectually stimulated by reading, doing crossword puzzles, playing Scrabble and other board games. She crocheted numerous afghans for each family member, participated in volunteer work at her church and in the community, and quilted at the Steinbach Heritage Village Museum. Mom liked to garden and walk to keep in shape and to travel (she drove her car well into her 80s).

She put her faith into practice, demonstrating patience and choosing wisely the ways of peace throughout the challenging experiences of life. Our mother constantly sought God's comfort and strength through prayers and Bible readings. Despite life's difficulties, she retained a gracious and thankful spirit, blessing everyone she met with genuine goodness. The family wishes to thank the home care workers at Fernwood Place, the personnel at Vita P.C.H., and Dr. Karen Toews for the years of understanding, compassionate care they gave to our mother.

REIMER Frank Friesen Reimer was born in Steinbach, Man. on June 23, 1908 and died peacefully at Calvary Place in Winnipeg, Man. on June 24, 2006, the day after his 98th birthday. He was predeceased by our mother, Margaret (nee Penner) on May 20, 1971, and by his second wife, Evelyn (nee Tibstra) on Nov. 25, 1995. He leaves behind three sons and one daughter, 11 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren: Delbert (Noreen) Reimer - Marcia (Tim) Fretheim (David, Sara and Erin), Debby (Doug) Harink (Elizabeth and Allison), Judi Reimer (Jillian and Taya), Ross (Wendy) Reimer (Alex and Riley); Donald (Anne) Reimer - Doug (Dawn) Reimer (Jordan, Tyler and Keegan), Jim (Sandy) Reimer, Kelly (Sydney) Reimer (Alessandra, Arianne); Gerald (June) Reimer - Darcy (Tara) Reimer ( Hannah and Joshua), Sheri (Merlin) Braun (Kristen and Matthew); Grace (Ken) Betzold - Patricia (Grant) Wainikka (Abigail, Victoria and William), Stephanie Betzold. He was predeceased by two infant great-granddaughters - Leah Reimer and Rachel Reimer. Our father was also predeceased by his parents, Peter B. and Helena Reimer, and his stepmother Katherine, as well as siblings, Otto, Anne, Katherine, Werner, Paul and Charlotte. He is survived by siblings, Amanda, Carl (Annie), Eric Menno, Peter (Gwen), Henriette (Victor Reimer), Arlie (Wally Roberts), and brother-in-law Christopher Kennedy. For the first years of his life, Dad lived in the hamlet of Giroux, Man., near Steinbach, where he attended school and also spent his first years of employment, after which he moved to Steinbach, where he worked with his father, Peter B. Reimer, for the Reimer Trading Company. Our father was an energetic entrepreneur and a merchant. In Steinbach he managed P.B. Reimer & Sons and the Steinbach Feed Service Mill. He was generally known about town as `Carload Frank' because of his penchant for purchasing merchandise by the carload, which he then both retailed and wholesaled from his hometown. In 1952 he assisted his son Donald in founding Reimer Express Lines Ltd. Our father was a man of great faith, having put his trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as a young man. He had an amazing ability to encourage everyone he met and because of his friendly, gregarious nature he met many more people than most do. He served on the boards of various Christian Ministry organizations throughout his life, including his church, Prairie Bible Institute, Evangelical Free Church of America, Greater Europe Mission (25 years, several as chairman), as well as Bibletown in Boca Raton, Florida. As his age made it more difficult for Dad to move about, his prayer ministry expanded. He prayed on a daily basis for all his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, as well as for many other people, ministries and needs. The day our father passed away, many members of our family gathered to reminisce about his life and the impact he had upon ourselves and others. There were some amusing incidents that we recalled, including the one about his driver's licence. The day Dad died he still had a valid driver's licence with five merits, of which he was justly proud. During his recent stay at St. Boniface Hospital he realized that it was licence renewal time. He was hoping to get it renewed once more because at the end of this month his current licence will expire. His family had a difficult time convincing him that it would no longer be possible for him to answer the necessary questions on the licence application form honestly. Life became very difficult for our dad during the past few weeks, but thankfully he was still able to communicate understandably on his birthday with some of his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Although we will all miss him deeply, we are thankful that God has chosen to relieve him of his pain and take him to his heavenly home where he has now met his Saviour face to face. He frequently quoted the Scripture verse, "Eye hath not seen, not hath ear heard not hath entered into the heart of man the things that God hath prepared for those who love Him." Now Dad is experiencing those wonderful things which the rest of us cannot even begin to imagine. Funeral services will be held Thursday, June 29, 2006, 2 p.m., at Winnipeg Evangelical Free Church, 500 Lagimodiere, with viewing at the church Wednesday, 7 to 8 p.m., with a devotional at 7 p.m. A private graveside service was held Thursday at 10:30 a.m. at Green Acres Memorial Gardens. Honorary pallbearers: Dr. John Foerster, Mr. Arnold Heron, Mr, Howard Moore, Mr. Neil Rempel and Mr. Joe Freed. We want to express our most heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the various medical and other personnel who took such good care of our beloved father during the past few months, including the following: his dear friend and personal physician, Dr. John Foerster, his special aide and friend, Mr.Willy Zienkiewicz, Mr. Kevin Friesen, Dr. Duane Hartley and the compassionate, caring staff at Calvary Place, as well as the doctors and staff at the St. Boniface Hospital. Thank you too, to his sister, Amanda Reimer, for her faithful support and concern. Arrangements entrusted to Friends Funeral Service, 339-5555.
