AGNES KORNELSON Jan. 24, 1919 ­- Feb. 26, 2004 Agnes Kornelson (nee Nikkel), 85, passed away peacefully Thursday, Feb. 26, 2004 at the Steinbach Bethesda Hospital. She leaves to cherish her memory, her husband, John D., of Steinbach, Man.; sons, Ronald (Sue) of Steinbach, Gordon (Becky) of Mitchell, Man., George (Chris) of Regina, Sask.; daughters, Mary (Abe) Hiebert of Steinbach, Agnes (Jac) Friesen of Steinbach, Marge (Gary) McLean of Mitchell; 18 grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; and two sisters. She was predeceased by her parents, Erdman and Maria Nikkel; eight brothers; six sisters; four half-sisters; as well as one great-grandson. She was born Jan. 24, 1919 in Rosenfeld, Man. Mom was baptized upon her confession of faith on May 29, 1939 at the Rosenfeld EMM Church by Bishop William H. Falk. She met Dad while working in the Rosenort, Man. area and they were married June 28, 1942 in Rosenfeld by minister Peter W. Friesen. Mom made Dad's family her own, like the text at their wedding, found in Ruth 1:16, "Entreat me not to leave you or to return from following you; for where you go I will go and where you lodge I will lodge; your people shall be my people and your God my God." She also transferred her membership to the EMC in Rosenort. Their first few years together were spent on the Kornelson farm, followed by a brief stay in Dryden, Ont., at a CO camp. They moved back to Rosenort for a short period of time and then decided to move to a farm in the Bristol, Man. area with their two sons. Here they lived in a small two-bedroom house and four more children were added to their family. Two years after the birth of their youngest child, the family was excited to move into a two-story, four-bedroom house complete with running water and indoor plumbing. Circumstances required Mom to become an at home nurse, learning quickly how to administer insulin shots. Following a struggle with a heart condition for many years, Mom had successful major heart surgery in 1996 and we thank God for granting us another eight years with her. After 49 years of living on the farm, Mom and Dad decided to move to Steinbach, first to an apartment and then into Woodhaven Manor. Throughout their lives, Mom and Dad had the opportunity to travel to many places, such as Europe, Hawaii, Australia, Inuvik and Belize. During Mom's life she was active on the farm and in the community, helping out at the museum as a volunteer on many special occasions. She spent many hours quilting with the Mission Sisters, as well as making blankets for her grandchildren and her great-grandchildren. She was an excellent cook and seamstress, and enjoyed puzzling and playing table games. Singing was a passion of Mom's and this was evident when she helped start the Mitchell senior choir. Mom and Dad both felt that it was their mission to help a young church grow and so when the Evangelical Fellowship Church was established, they transferred their membership and became involved. She was a kind, caring and wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and Oma, who will be sadly missed. The family would like to thank Dr. Thiessen and the nursing staff at the Steinbach Bethesda Hospital for the compassionate care given to Mom. The funeral service was held at the Steinbach Evangelical Mennonite Church Monday, March 1, 2004 at 2 p.m. Interment followed at Heritage Cemetery. Arrangements entrusted to Birchwood Funeral Chapel, 150 Penfeld Dr., Steinbach, Man.

Adam will always be remembered as a caring young man who had a heart for other people, particularly kids. He went out of his way to make new students at school feel welcome. His positive smiling nature always lit up any room he entered. At work, he was considered reliable and a hard worker who got along well with his coworkers. When Adam was around you could be sure that you would receive one of his many big bear hugs that he always gave so freely. Adam was a kind, caring, loving son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin and friend who will be very sadly and deeply missed. Donations may be made in memory of Adam to South East Helping Hands, Box 332, Steinbach, MB, R5G 1M3 or to Winnipeg Harvest, 1085 Winnipeg Ave., Winnipeg, MB, R3E 0S2, as this concern was very close to his heart.
