PLETT 1941 — 2008 It is with earthly sadness that we mourn the loss of Lena Plett, a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and especially a friend to many. Lena leaves to cherish her memory, her daughters Bernice and Brenda, her son Barry, her grandchildren, Shawna, Morrissa, Meralie, Andrea, William and Mitchel as well as a great-grandchild Trey; her siblings Peter Penner, Abe (Lilian) Penner, Clara (Peter) Harms, Ben (Claudia) Penner, and Martha (Ike) Fehr. Lena was predeceased by her parents, Peter and Helen Penner, her husband Walter in 1996, two sisters-in-law, Helen and Lydia Penner. But we don't mourn as those who have no hope. We, the family and friends, share the joy of Lena's graduation to heaven, to join Jesus and the many others that went before her. We, as believers, can share their joy because at the age of nine, Lena accepted Jesus as her Lord and Saviour, was baptized on the profession of her faith at the Steinbach MB Church and followed Jesus till her passing. We rejoice that Lena is enjoying the precious promise of Jesus who said "I go to prepare a place for you." We, the family, wish to express our appreciation and gratitude for all expressions of sympathy and kindness especially the doctors and nurses and staff at the Bethesda Hospital in Steinbach, and the many friends who stopped by to pray and encourage. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the following two charities: Operation Outreach, 908 Lancaster Blvd., Milton, ON L9T 6A4 or Canadian Bible Society, 952 St. Mary's Road; Wpg., MB R2M 3R8.

SCHELLENBERG With family by his side, during the early evening hours of Thursday, Nov. 6, 2008 and after a brief illness, our father, grandfather and great-grandfather passed away peacefully and entered his heavenly home. Left to cherish fond memories, are: son Gordon, wife Diana; son Gary, wife Val; daughter, Carolyn Joy Hildebrand, husband, Wayne; daughter, Ruth Martens, husband Eric; son, Danny; daughter, Arlene Riediger, husband, Al; grandchildren and great-grandchildren: Karlana Reimer, husband David, children, Natalya and Tristan; Krista Friesen, husband Nathan, children, Kai and Navi; Kevin Schellenberg, wife Melodie; David Schellenberg, wife Leanne, children, Jenelle and Riley; Jo Dee Rempel, husband Tim, son Cole; Lisa Gillespie, husband Scott; James Riediger, wife Sheila, daughter, Cadence; Tania Bueckert, husband, Danny. Dave was predeceased by his son David Leroy in 1950 and beloved wife, Helen in 2002. He is survived by brother, William. Dave, born in Steinbach in July of 1917, was a humble and compassionate man who devoted his life to God and Family. Dave and his wife of 62 years, Helen, served in the mission field in both Saskatchewan and northern Manitoba. In the 1950s Dave worked at the Steinbach Rest Haven for a number of years, serving both as an orderly and administrator. In the 1960s he and Helen started a church in Portage la Prairie, where along with the family, they lived for six years. In addition, Dad served as editor of The Messenger (EMC) Conference publication for 25 years, a position that he greatly enjoyed. Many a grandchild graced the cover of the magazine. Throughout his life, Dave pursued a life of learning. In 1985, Dad attained his Bachelor of Religious Studies (BRS) degree at Steinbach Bible College. An excerpt from one of his journals reads: I doubt there was a prouder graduate than was 67-year-old Dave Schellenberg, when in 1985, he received his BRS. Another memorable time in Dad's life came when he was awarded the distinction of Archivist Emeritus, while working as the archivist for the EMC conference, a vocation he greatly enjoyed. Our father had a passion for photography for much of his life. Back in the 1950s he would avidly develop black and white photos in our bathroom. Often the vinegary smell of photographic chemicals could be detected coming from his homemade lab. During the last 20 years of his life, Dave took an interest in computers and digital photography. He loved to take pictures of his family and the wonders of God's creations, especially sunsets. His latter years saw him publish numerous memoirs on the computer and develop a much loved blog site for all of us to enjoy. We will dearly miss our father, grandfather and great-grandfather. We are all so thankful that his illness was brief prior to his passing. After all, a week before he left us, he was motoring around Steinbach on his scooter. God bless him in his heavenly home. The family would like to thank Dr. Kaethler and the nursing staff at Bethesda Hospital for ensuring Dad's comfort in his last days. Dave's children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will miss him dearly. The funeral service was held Sunday, Nov. 9 at the Evangelical Mennonite Church in Steinbach, MB with interment at Heritage Cemetery. Arrangements by Birchwood Funeral Chapel 346-1030 or 1-888-454-1030 JEAN SCHULTZ Jean, sweetheart of Duane for 31 years and best mom in the world to Hayley, Brooke and Taylor left to join her Heavenly Father, son Del and her mother in heaven on Monday, Nov. 10, 2008. Besides her loving husband and daughters, she is survived by her father, John J. B. Funk; her brothers and sisters Leo (Kathy) Funk, Elayne (Peter) Goertzen, Mel (Margaret) Funk, Phillis (Eldon) Kroeker, Stacey Funk (fiancé Steven Scott); her mother and father-in-law Gilbert & Doreen Schultz; sisters-in-law Sheryl (Dale) Epp, Janelle (Jim) Yakubowski, 30 nieces and nephews, as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and many friends. She was predeceased by her son Del Alan, mother Eva Funk, brother Dennis and sister Connie Maxine. Jean was born in St Pierre, MB, June 1, 1956. She grew up in Steinbach where she attended elementary and high school. She continued her education and graduated from Winnipeg Bible College (now Providence College) with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in 1978. While at WBC she met the love of her life, Duane, and they were married Oct. 6, 1979. Jean left the familiarity of her family and, together with Duane, moved to start a new life in Saskatchewan. She worked hard alongside her husband and poured herself into homemaking and raising a family. Jean and Duane were blessed with a son, Del Alan born May 13, 1981 followed by their first daughter, Hayley Paige July 8, 1985. Sadly Del died Nov. 18, 1985. Another bundle of joy, Brooke Kara, arrived Jan. 28, 1987 followed by Taylor Drew born June 30, 1991. Jean devoted her life to her faith. Her relationship with God can best be expressed through this quote: "I care not if I never raise my voice again for Him, if only I may love Him, please Him. Perhaps in mercy He shall give me a host of children that I may lead them through the vast star fields to explore His delicacies whose fingertips set them to burning. But if not, if only I may see Him, touch His garments, and smile into His eyes—ah then, not star nor children shall matter, only Himself" (Jim Elliott). We will miss her and forever honour her memory in our hearts. A celebration of life service will be held at the Dalmeny Bible Church, (Corner Wakefield & Main), Dalmeny, SK, Friday, Nov. 14, at 2 p.m. Interment to follow at Dalmeny Bible Church Cemetery. If friends so desire, memorial tributes may be made to Compassion Canada—releasing children from poverty in Jesus' name. (Gift cards available at the church).
