Penner, age 85, passed away peacefully Tuesday, Nov. 9, 2004, with his family at his side, at the Rest Haven Nursing Home in Steinbach, Man. He is survived by and lovingly remembered by his wife Hilda (Voth) of 58 years; children: Pauline (Bill) Wiens, daughter-in-law Eleanor (Frank) Thiessen, J. Ernie (Gladys) Penner, Kathleen (Geoff) Williams, Mary (Harry) Friesen, Geric (Patsy) Penner; grandchildren: Karen (Corey) Wiebe, Cynthia and Laurel Wiens, Andrea (Kris) Kroeker, Darryl (Tricia) Penner, Teresa (Dwayne) Klassen, Nathan (Alisa) Penner, Amber Penner, Candace (Brendan) Bingham, Leah (Julian) Barker, Japheth (Gillian) Martens, Krysta (Daniel) Friesen, Priscilla (Albert) Giesbrecht, Sheri (Tom) Bueckert, Rebecca, Lindsey, Katherina and Clint David Penner; great-grandchildren: Shaylene, Brycen and Karlana Wiebe, Seth Kroeker, Shauna, Mason and Coltin Penner and Faith Bourassa, Taylor Marie and Liam James Martens, Cole, Gabrielle and Sutton Brooke Friesen; sister Margaret Penner and sister-in-law Neta Penner. He was predeceased by his parents, Henry and Agatha (Neufeld) Penner; adoptive parents, Jacob J. and Katherina (Klassen) Penner; one son Henry in 2001; three brothers, Henry, Hans and Peter; and four sisters, Agatha, Anna, Greta and Mika. David was born Feb. 10, 1919 in Jesikowa, No. 3 Russia to Henry and Agatha (Neufeld) Penner. He was the youngest of eight children. David never experienced the joy of growing up together with his siblings, as his parents and 16-year-old brother Henry died of typhoid fever in December 1919. Because of these events, the remaining siblings were not old enough to care for each other and keep the family together. As a 12-month-old baby, just two months after his parents passed away, David was adopted into the loving home of his father's cousin Jacob J. and Katherina (Klassen) Penner and their five-year-old daughter Margaret. The family moved from Russia to Morse, Sask. in 1924 when David was four years old. From there they moved to Stonewall, Man., where David spent most of his youth to young adult life. The next move to Landmark, Man., where the family bought a farm, gave David the opportunity to indulge in his passion for horses - training, riding, driving and in general working with the horses. David was a wonderful brother to Margaret, a constant support to her, especially through her illnesses and struggles with her health. He was also a steady and much needed provider for his parents and Margaret. David got to know Hilda through his sister Margaret. During their early courtship, David and Hilda were both baptized in 1945 in the First Mennonite Church in Winnipeg, Man. They became engaged Jan. 27, 1946, and married July 27, 1946. For the first two years of their married life, David and Hilda settled on a farm in Landmark. During this time they were blessed with their firstborn, daughter Pauline. In 1948 they bought a store in Landmark, which they owned for one year, and during which time their first son Henry was born. When Henry was nine months old, David had the opportunity to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a dairy farmer and the family relocated to Friedensfeld, Man., and was further blessed with four more children, Ernie, Kathleen, Mary and Geric. Although they experienced 40 successful years on the farm, David also had a 24-year battle with cancer, heart and stroke disease. Of the many memories made during this era, some of the highlights included traveling, which took them to places of historical significance, as well as to Europe, Germany and South America. Due to his health problems, David and Hilda retired from the farm and moved to Steinbach in 1993. As his health deteriorated further, David moved into Rest Haven Nursing Home in 2003, which unfortunately prevented him from realizing his last remaining wish, to visit his homeland in Russia. On behalf of the family, we would like to thank Dr. Dyck and Dr. Minnaar, the home care workers and the staff of Rest Haven Nursing Home for their constant care and devotion to David. The funeral service was held Saturday, Nov. 13 at the Steinbach Mennonite Church. Interment at Heritage Cemetery. Arrangements entrusted to Birchwood Funeral Chapel, 150 Penfeld Dr., Steinbach, Man.
