ELVIRA DUECK It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our dear and precious wife, mother and grandma Elvira Ann Dueck on Thursday May 15, 2008 at the young age of 55 years, with her family by her side. She leaves to cherish her memory; her beloved husband Ben; her children, Marcia (Mark) Loewen, Brent, Sherrilynn (fiancé Jared Hildebrand), and Andrea Dueck. Fun-loving and energetic grandma to Josiah, Ethan and Seth Loewen. Also left to mourn this huge loss is her mother Anne Dueck; siblings, Irwin (Marilyn) Dueck, Elmer (Christal) Dueck, Ruth (Gerald) Thiessen, Dianne (Glenn) Friesen, and Judy (Allen) Friesen. Missing her deeply is Ben's family, Nita Dueck, Henry (Leona) Dueck, Dan (Bev) Dueck, Mary (John) Dyck, Jake (Diana) Dueck, Alvin (Elma) Dueck, Clarence (Marlene) Dueck, Leona (Arnold) Warkentin, plus numerous very special nephews and nieces. Mom loved landscape design, the people at Morris School, her yard, and most importantly her friends, family, and God. She had the energy of a hundred people; it was a trait many people admired in her. Her love of life made her very easy to be around. She exemplified how to both live and die; she was positive till the very end. No one could question whether she was going to Heaven because she didn't shy away from the topic of God's presence and where she stood in her Christianity. She will be missed tremendously and will never be forgotten. We wish to thank the oncology staff at Victoria Hospital, and friends and family that have made Elvira's life as special as it was. The funeral service will be held today, Tuesday May 20 at 2:00 p.m. at the Rosenort Evangelical Mennonite Church. MORRIS FUNERAL HOME Phone 746-2451 Toll Free 1-866-746-2451
