DAVID ARMIN ENNS David Armin Enns of Sanford, Manitoba was born June 19, 1935 and passed away November 3, 2007 at the age of 72 years. At the age of 10 months he was adopted by Dietrich and Katarina Enns of Sperling. After completing his compulsory grade school, he pursued his first love, farming. He returned to school at the age of 20 to complete high school, then went on to Normal School, later receiving a B.A. from the University of Winnipeg and a B. Ed. from the University of Manitoba. He had several careers in addition to his initial farm experience: housing construction, teaching and real estate. But he never lost his passion for nurturing life, whether human, plant or animal. When he allowed himself the time to indulge his other interests he loved flying, travelling and keeping abreast of world events and politics. All of his life was guided by his staunch faith in a loving God made flesh in Jesus Christ. He showed that faith, not only in his respectful treatment of everyone, but also in his active participation in the life of his home church, First Mennonite Church. Dave will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 25 years, Ruth, brother Willy (Ina) and his sister Erna (Wayne) Warren of Winnipeg, brother Alvin of Raleigh, North Carolina and Ron of Sperling, his brothers-in-law Mel Wiebe (Lola Cuddy) of Kingston, Ron (Clara) Wiebe of Morris, Charles Wiebe (Ellen Anderson) of Toronto and his sister-in-law Vicki Strang of Edmonton as well as nieces, nephews, grandnieces, grandnephews and many friends. A funeral service in memory of Dave will be held on Thursday, November 8, 2007 at 11:00 a.m. at First Mennonite Church, 922 Notre Dame Avenue, Winnipeg. Viewing will be held on Wednesday, November 7 from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Friends Funeral Service, 2146 Main Street, Winnipeg. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to First Mennonite Church, MCC, or Winnipeg Harvest. As a symbol of remembrance, the white rose represents heavenliness and is an expression of spiritual love and respect. The red rose is a symbol for fidelity and true love, stronger than thorns.
