PEARL HELEN REIMER It is with sadness and sorrow that we announce the peaceful passing of our mother and grandmother, Pearl H. Reimer, on June 30, 2011, at the age of 94, with her family by her side. Our mother was born on March 21, 1917 in Roland, Manitoba. Our mother worked hard on the farm. Horses were a big part of our mother's life and she was a horse jockey herself. Our mother moved to Winnipeg where she met our father, Peter Reimer. When dad passed away at the age of 46, mom was left to raise five children alone. She made her career as a Dietary Aide at Bethania Personal Care Home and the remainder of her career in Melita, Manitoba. Mom then moved back to Winnipeg, where she enjoyed gardening, riding her bike, volunteering many hours at the Bethania Personal Care Home and caring for her beloved pets. When mom was later diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease, she lived out the remainder of her life at the Concordia Personal Care Home. Mom was predeceased by her husband and our father, Peter James Reimer, daughter Jean, sister Margaret, brothers Cecil and Vincent. Mom is survived by her sister Phyllis Carter, her five children James (Arlene), Jeannie (Rick), Janet (Jim), Brian (Karen), Patricia, her nine grandchildren and her eight great grandchildren. Thank you to the amazing Nursing Staff at the Concordia Personal Care Home for the care our mom received and for the support to our family during our mom's final days. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Alzheimer's Society at 10-120 Donald Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3C 4C2. A private family service was held. Every single day you will be missed. You are, and will be, Forever in our Hearts. We Love You Mom.
