Otto Toews, aged 88, passed away peacefully on September 8, 2025, at Pembina Place Personal Care Home in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Born on June 30, 1937, in Eigenhof, Manitoba, Otto dedicated his life to learning and teaching. His career in education spanned decades, during which he inspired countless students and colleagues with his deep commitment to helping others grow. He also developed a program called Knowledge Builder to teach thinking and writing skills.
He is survived by his daughter Eleanor, daughter-in-law Annette, sisters, Esther, Bertha and Waldina and their families, and stepchildren, Leslie, Gordon, and Gregg, and predeceased by his son Konrad, wife Joan McCreath, parents, Erdman and Anna, and brother Peter. His legacy will live on through the many lives he touched both in and out of the classroom.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, September 26, 2025, at Chapel Lawn Funeral Home, 4000 Portage Avenue in Winnipeg.
