MARIE
“BERTHE” WIEBE
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the
peaceful passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend, Berthe
Wiebe on Tuesday, June 10, 2014 at the age of 94 years.
Berthe
will be greatly missed by her daughters Linda (John) Reavely and Beverley
Fritschy; sons Tom (Gail) and Barry (June); grandchildren Neil (Patti and
children Tanya and Dallas) Reavely, Warren (Misty) Reavely, Palmer Fritschy and
Samantha Paige Fritschy; close cousin, Corinne Tellier; sister, Aurelie
Lacharite; two sisters-in-law, Agnes Wiebe and Susan Dueck; brother-in-law,
Henry (Nettie) Wiebe; as well as many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased
by her husband, Neil, in 1985.
Our mother was born in St. Norbert on March
24, 1920. She graduated high school and
worked in the family business until she met our father. They married in 1947, bought their first home
in St. Vital in 1956, where she lived for over 50 years.
Mom was very active. She delivered Meals on Wheels for over 25
years, donated blood regularly, bowled weekly, loved crossword puzzles and
playing cribbage. She attended Mass
regularly. Mom was an accomplished
musician and loved to share her gift with others, playing piano in various
venues throughout Winnipeg with several bands.
Her great passion, however, was family and how her eyes lit up when we
arrived.
Mom lived independently until her final
months in Tache Nursing Centre. She was
so appreciative of the love and care received during her brief but wonderful
stay and was much loved by the staff. We
are so very grateful to them.
A Celebration of Mom’s Life will be held at
10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, June 17, 2014 in St. Eugene Roman Catholic Church, 1009
St. Mary’s Road.
