Obituary of Justina Dueck

Justina Dueck (nee Broesky) went home to be with the Lord on Thursday, December 24, 2020, at the age of 90.

She leaves to cherish her memory 4 sons and 2 daughters. Alvin (Martha), Agatha Cure (Albert), Abe (Ginette), Aaron (Marge), Martin, Kathy. 2 daughters-in-law Emily and Beatrice. 31 grandchildren, 63 great grandchildren and 2 great great grandchildren.

She was predeceased by her husband John and 2 sons Jake and David.

Heaven gained another angel on Christmas Eve named Justina....a woman of strength, determination, stories and teachings. A woman who, in her more able bodied days, always made sure everyone she visited with had full bellies (often soup) and warm feet with a newly knitted pair of slippers. Slipper Grandma, as most of her grandchildren called her, made the journey from her earthly body to her heavenly home in the wee hours of the morning.

She spent her life as a daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt, grandmother, great grandmother and great great grandmother. She taught children with her stories and lectures and taught parents how to teach their children to play. She loved fiercely and knew that her journey on earth would lead her to Jesus when her time here was done.

She believed as long as she had something to teach or to learn she had a purpose here.

2 of her favorite songs were: Silent Night and In the Garden.

When you hear them, think of her. We will miss you terribly, but are so excited you are home with your Lord and Saviour.

Until we meet again!
