Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryMARIE (BERTHE) WIEBE It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend, Berthe Wiebe on Tuesday, June 10, 2014 at the age of 94 years. Berthe will be greatly missed by her daughters Linda (John) Reavely and Beverley Fritschy; sons Tom (Gail) and Barry (June); grandchildren Neil (Patti and children Tanya and Dallas) Reavely, Warren (Misty) Reavely, Palmer Fritschy and Samantha Paige Fritschy; close cousin, Corinne Tellier; sister, Aurelie Lacharite; two sisters-in-law, Agnes Wiebe and Susan Dueck; brother-in-law, Henry (Nettie) Wiebe; as well as many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband, Neil, in 1985. Our mother was born in St. Norbert on March 24, 1920. She graduated high school and worked in the family business until she met our father. They married in 1947, bought their first home in St. Vital in 1956, where she lived for over 50 years. Mom was very active. She delivered Meals on Wheels for over 25 years, donated blood regularly, bowled weekly, loved crossword puzzles and playing cribbage. She attended Mass regularly. Mom was an accomplished musician and loved to share her gift with others, playing piano in various venues throughout Winnipeg with several bands. Her great passion, however, was family and how her eyes lit up when we arrived. Mom lived independently until her final months in Tache Nursing Centre. She was so appreciative of the love and care received during her brief but wonderful stay and was much loved by the staff. We are so very grateful to them. A Celebration of Mom's Life will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, June 17, 2014 in St. Eugene Roman Catholic Church, 1009 St. Mary's Road. Wojcik's Funeral Chapel & Crematorium, 2157 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba, 204.897.4665, is in care of arrangements wojciksfuneralchapel.com
