HENRY SCHMIDT With sadness, we announce the unexpected passing of Henry Schmidt. Born December 12, 1929, God called him home on August 27, 2011. He is survived by his wife Ruth, children Rick (Sara Jane), John (Phyllis), Lori (Kerry) Enns, eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. He is also survived by siblings Nick (Lily), Anne, George (Rita), Vic (Vanita), Margaret (Jake) Loewen, John (Frieda), and sisters-in-law Lena and Olive (Len). He was predeceased by brother Peter and sister Frieda (and Ernest) Pauls. Henry grew up near Elm Creek, spent 22 years as an educator, and then 25 years building an insurance brokerage. He also loved to share his skills and time with his church community. He had an active retirement, and enjoyed travelling with Ruth. Second only to his devotion and commitment to his Savior and Lord, was his love for his family. All were prayed for daily by name and were his pride and joy. A celebration of Henry's life will be held Thursday, September 1, at 11:00 a.m. at Eastview Community Church, 3500 DeVries Avenue, Winnipeg, with viewing one hour prior to the service. Interment will follow at Glen Eden Memorial Gardens. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Family Life Network or a charity of your choice.
