BETTY BARKMAN January 30, 1929 June 2, 2006 Quietly in her sleep at 5:15 a.m. at home in Steinbach, surrounded by her loving family, Mom went to be with her Lord. She was the daughter of the late Jacob and Katherine Wedel of Winnipeg. Mom is survived by her loving husband of 57 years, L. Peter Barkman; one son, Alan and Joy Barkman of Steinbach; two daughters, Carol and Keith Braun of Steinbach, Kathy and John Milinkovic, also of Steinbach; nine grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. She was baptized upon confession of her faith at the age of 13 and subsequently became a member of North End MB Church, where she remained until her marriage in 1949 when she moved to Steinbach, and joined the Steinbach EMB Church where Mom and Dad worshipped for many years. In later years they were members of the Emmanuel Evangelical Free Church, where many friends and supporters surrounded them during Mom's 15-month struggle with cancer. The family would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to the dedicated and caring Palliative Care team that made caring for Mom at home possible during these past weeks. Viewing will be at Birchwood Funeral Chapel, Monday, June 5 at 7:00 p.m. with the funeral service at 11:00 a.m., Tuesday, June 6 at Emmanuel Evangelical Free Church, 360 Mckenzie Ave., Steinbach.
