JOHN PETERS 1929 - 2013 Our Heavenly Father decided on Saturday, December 14, 2013, it was time for Dad to take his final breath and to be brought home to a place where there was no more suffering. Our Dad, Grandpa and Great-Grandpa passed away peacefully with his family by his side. Left to cherish his memory are his children, Lois and her husband, Jake Derksen and their three daughters, Amanda and Jason Pellegrino (Katelyn and Megan), Gina and Janesa Derksen; Marilyn and her husband, Larry Unrau and their three daughters, Stephanie and Russ Thiessen (Brody and Norah), Jolene Unrau, Candace and Ryan Landry (Saphira); Connie and her husband, Arden Bergstresser; Dad's brothers, Pete Peters, Henry and Lydia Peters, Abe and Barb Peters, Fred and Gloria Peters, Cornie and Linda Peters, Ben Peters and Dad's sisters, Susan Friesen, Mary Penner, Anne Enns, Tina Holenski, Trudy and Dave Derksen and two sisters-in-law, Nettie Peters and Esther Peters, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
