LISA MARIE DOERKSEN On June 10, 1985, at approximately 5:20 a.m., we were blessed with the quietest, floppiest, little girl. She weighed 5 lbs, 10 oz, 19 inches long and we named her Lisa Marie Doerksen. It was a struggle from day one for her to survive. Lisa spent her first month in the hospital because her throat muscles were too weak to swallow. The blood tests that were done at the time left her bruised from head to toe. Her determination to survive got stronger over time and she grew to enjoy her school years, youth group and work at the Red River Workshop. Her loves in life were babies, cats and dogs, music, her sister Jennifer, and brothers Christopher and Andrew. As Chris got married, her relationship with Tess grew, and when they had Keaton, her life bloomed with wanting to do all she could for him. Lisa was looking forward to a visit to Grande Prairie, AB, where Jennifer moved to be closer to Paul Bergen. Lisa hated to see Jennifer leave, but her love for her was so much that she was OK with it. Lisa had full intentions of going to Grand Prairie now in spring, but God had different plans for all of us. Lisa was baptized on May 16, 2005, into the Stuartburn Sommerfeld Mennonite Church, where she attended from the time she was about eight years old. We will miss her very much and the wedding planned for May 17, 2008, will also be different, we're sure. We have peace in knowing that Lisa loved Jesus and is resting without any pain or need for medications to make her days go on. Lisa Marie passed away Thursday, Jan. 31, 2008, at approximately 5:05 a.m. at the Bethesda Hospital in Steinbach, MB. It looked like she just peacefully kept on sleeping after taking her bi-pap mask off. She leaves to cherish her memory her parents, Henry and Susan Doerksen, one sister Jennifer and fiancée Paul Bergen, two brothers, Christopher and wife Tess, and Andrew, and one nephew Keaton. She is also survived by her grandparents George and Mary Klassen and Cornelius and Elma Doerksen, many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Lisa also leaves her special friends at the Red River Workshop in St Malo. Thanks to family and friends for all your love, prayers, meals, phone calls, and cards. A special thanks to Dr. Horne and the staff in emergency at Bethesda Hospital the night of Jan. 27, 2008, and to Dr. Duerksen and the staff that cared for Lisa until God called her home on Thursday, Jan. 31, 2008. The funeral service was held Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2008 at the New Bothwell Sommerfeld Church, with interment at the Church Cemetery. Thank you, Lisa's family.

In 1962 they purchased a farm in the Tourond area raising chickens and growing a variety of crops. Mom enjoyed farming along side dad and preferred working outside as opposed to housework and cooking. She loved gardening and flowers and no matter where they lived mom and dad always had large gardens where they grew a variety of vegetable and fruits. Mom had a great love for music. She could always be found listening to and humming along with gospel music or Eduard Klassen playing the harp.
