TINA WIEBE (nee PAULS) 1939 - 2009 On Monday June 1, 2009 at Boundary Trails Health Centre, Tina Wiebe, aged 69 years, of Winkler, MB was called to her heavenly home following a short battle with cancer. She is survived by her husband Abe Wiebe of Winkler; four daughters, Jennifer and John Wiebe of Winnipeg, Hazel Wiebe of Winnipeg, Caroline Wiebe of Winkler, Pamela and Harold Dahl of Winnipeg; five grandchildren, Justin, Jeremy, Rachel, Allison and Jason as well as one sister Hilda and Peter Wieler and two brothers, John and Ruth Pauls, Harold and Lynda Pauls; sisters-in-law, Elaine Pauls, Marge Elias, brother-in-law Gil and Thova Wiebe as well as many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents, John and Tina Pauls and brother Victor Pauls. Tina was born on August 21, 1939 in Winkler, MB. She grew up in Reinfeld, MB where the family farmed. She attended elementary school in Reinfeld and high school in Winkler. Following graduation from high school in 1957, she worked at CIBC. She was baptized in 1956 in the Winkler Bergthaler Mennonite Church. Tina married Abe B. Wiebe on September 28, 1958 and they recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. Together they raised four daughters. Tina joined her husband in the family business, Berdick Windows and Doors where she worked in the office for over 30 years. Tina had a passion for music. She received her ARCT piano teacher's degree and taught piano for many years. She made sacrifices to ensure that her children received musical training. Tina encouraged her daughters to pursue educational achievements and to qualify themselves for a career. Her children and grandchildren brought her much joy and she was proud of each of them. She was always very involved in church programs and activities. Tina will be remembered for her faith in God and the love she showed her family. She was always more concerned about other people than herself and was willing to change her plans at a moment's notice to lend a helping hand. Viewing will be Friday from 6:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. and at the church prior to the service. A celebration of Tina's life will take place on Saturday, June 6, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. at Winkler Bergthaler Mennonite Church, 252 6th St. with interment to follow at Westridge Memorial Gardens. If friends so desire, donations may be made in Tina's memory to either Mennonite Central Committee or to the Winkler Bergthaler Mennonite Church Bethesda Ladies Fellowship which will both be available at the church. The family would like to thank the staff at Boundary Trails Health Centre for the care they provided. Wiebe Funeral Home, Winkler In care of arrangements, 325-4201 www.wiebefuneralhomes.com
