Mason Carter Broesky Dec. 21, 2003 — July 3, 2004 After living a life filled with love, joy, and laughter, our sweet baby boy Mason left this earth to begin his journey in heaven. He fought so hard for his little life, but God had another path for him to take. He blessed our lives and touched our hearts with his joyous spirit, his contagious smile, and the twinkle in his eyes. He leaves to cherish his memory, his loving parents Wayne and Carol, sister Brittney, brother Riley, and many family and friends. Mason was our shooting star, beautiful to see, but gone far too quickly. He will be our guardian angel and a part of our lives, watching from above. We thank the awesome doctors, nurses, and staff of the PICU of the Children's Hospital. We are deeply touched by the loving care they gave Mason and our family.

Her mother died when she was four years old. Her father remarried in 1923 to Elizabeth Brandt. Margaret was the second youngest of 13 children. She was predeceased by her parents and her siblings. Her husband Martin B. Dueck died in 1979. Margaret leaves to mourn; her daughter Marion and husband Dave Warkentin and their children Dale, Caris and Nathan Wylie, Leanne and boyfriend Steve Doerksen, as well as her son Melvin and wife Sara Dueck and their children Bethany and Michael. Margaret married Martin on May 30th, 1943. Martin and Margaret ran a honey farm for most of their married life. Although their home was in Kleefeld, their beehives were in many areas of Manitoba. Even though Margaret had polio since 1955, she always worked hard taking care of her family's needs, cooking meals for hungry workers and tending a large garden. After she accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior, she was baptized by her father and joined the Kleinegemeide Church in Kleefeld (later the Kleefeld E.M.C.). A very important part of her life was the sewing circle until she moved to Steinbach eight years ago. Also very important to her was the women's Bible study. The women continued to come from Kleefeld these last eight years. That was definitely a highlight for her. Margaret was a prayer warrior; regularly praying for her family, nieces and nephews and the missionaries. She had a strong faith in the Lord. Margaret passed away June 29, 2004. The funeral services were held Saturday, July 3, 2004 at 2 p.m. at the Kleefeld EMC Church with interment at the church cemetery.

Wiebe was born to Jacob and Helena Wiebe of Grunthal on April 26, 1909.

Peter was predeceased by three brothers Jake, Julius and Neil and four sisters Helen Schellenberg, Mary Friesen, Elizabeth Hiebert and Katherine Friesen. Peter enjoyed the outdoors and spent many years working in the parks and recreation centres in the city of Winnipeg. His love for the outdoors was evident by the many rides and walks he took with family and friends. Peter also enjoyed traveling and seeing new places. After he retired he did a lot of traveling with both his brother Julius and his brother Jake. On July 5, 2004 after a very short illness Peter went to be with his Lord and Saviour. He will be missed by his brother and sisters, many nieces and nephews as well as his friends and family. The funeral service will be held at Birchwood Funeral Chapel on Thursday, July 8, 2004 at 2 p.m. Interment at Sommerfeld Mennonite Church Cemetery, New Bothwell, MB.

For the past 13 years, Dad made his home in the Okanagan where he enjoyed the mild winters and especially the fresh fruit.

GINTER It is with great sadness we announce the sudden passing of our husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother and friend, Jacob S. Ginter of Steinbach, Man., at the age of 85 years, Friday, July 30, 2004. Jacob was born July 10, 1919 at home in Rosengard, Man., the eldest child in a family of 12. At the age of 20 he was baptized in the Chortitzer Church in Randolph, Man. In 1941, at the age of 22, Grandpa went to Clear Lake, Man. to work in a logging camp. After eight months he came back home to help out his Mom and Dad and work on the neighboring farms. June 20, 1942 he married my Grandma, Maria Friesen, who was widowed with three children, Mary, Anne and Pete. Jacob and Maria had two daughters, Agatha and Tina. Tina was born in November 1951 and died several hours after birth. Grandpa felt her loss with deep sorrow. Grandpa will always be remembered for his love of visiting, horses, old machines, and working in the bush. I remember how much Grandpa enjoyed getting out the threshing machine and making hay the old fashioned way, horses pulling the wagon and “Faspa” after. Grandpa was very happy to help out my Mom and came over at the drop of a hat to fix anything or give us a ride to town. Anything that broke down, Grandpa would call my Dad. He was never too busy to stop his work when someone would come to the house; he’d get a glass of water or cold coffee and do some “shpetzeiring.” July 23, 1990, his wife Maria passed away and Grandpa was very lost and lonely. Three years later the sparkle came back in his eyes when he met Mrs. Anna Siemens. Grandpa and Grandma Ann were married Aug. 21, 1993. Grandpa would still work in the bush, cutting wood, until last year. His health wasn’t very good, but he always told me, “Once I get back in the bush and cut wood, I’ll feel much better.” Grandpa will be deeply missed by his wife Anna and her children and grandchildren, daughter Agatha, son-in-law Abe Fehr, their children and grandchildren. He was predeceased by his wife Maria, infant daughter Tina, great-grandson Mason, one sister Katrina, and three brothers, Diedrich, Peter and John. The funeral service was held Wednesday, Aug. 4, 2004 at the Chortitzer Mennonite Church, Steinbach, Man. Interment at Rosengard Cemetery. Arrangements entrusted to Birchwood Funeral Chapel, 150 Penfeld Dr., Steinbach, Man. CHARLES DUBOIS Charles Dubois was born June 12, 1912 at Wampum, Man., and passed away Aug. 11, 2004 at Ste Anne Hospital after a battle with cancer. He was predeceased by his sisters: Mary, Agnes, Cordilia and Dorothy; brothers: Frank, Delphis, Fred, and Chalmer. He leaves behind his caring cousin Irene Dumont, and many nieces and nephews, cousins and friends. Charlie loved to ski, hunt, play cards and he always took great pride in having the nicest garden with many flowers. He was a great violin and accordion player. He worked in the bush for many years. Charlie also took care of the local parks in the area, and was the only barber around. People would come from as far as Piney for a haircut. Charlie will always be remembered as a very personal, honest man. Pallbearers were: Dawson Blacquiere, Roger Chenier, George Garrand, Jim Patterson, Raymond Prevost, and Jerry Semko. Funeral services were held Saturday, Aug. 14, 2004, with viewing at 10 a.m., followed by Mass at 10:30 a.m., at Notre Dame de l'Assomption Roman Catholic Church, South Junction, Man.
