She was born on May 13, 1916 in (Kronsthal) New Bothwell on the same section that she was living on until her passing. She enjoyed every minute of life and was a hard worker and did whatever had to be done willingly. She helped on her parents farm until she married Peter on September 17, 1939, and together they built up the store and post office in New Bothwell. They worked together in this business until he passed away in 1963 after which she ran the business on her own for many more years. She was a correspondent for the German Steinbach Post for many years and many will miss her columns. After she retired, she moved into the house next door that was owned by Edna and Erwin Vogt and built by her husband Peter. She spent the rest of her days there on her own until her illness on November 3rd when she was taken to the Bethesda Hospital where she passed away November 6th. During this time she said goodbye to her family and her many dear friends that came to visit her. The family can’t express in words our thankfulness for the love and kindness that was shown to us and to those that opened up their homes to us during her hospital stay. We thank the staff at the Bethesda hospital in the emergency room and on the ward for their compassionate care. We are also grateful to the community of New Bothwell for being her family, she loved all of you. We let her go with sadness, but rejoice that she went from a good home to a glorious home with Jesus.
