NETA WARKENTIN Nettie Helen (Neta) Warkentin (formerly Bergen) (nee Peters) 86, passed away on Wednesday, January 6, 2016 at Maplewood House Senior Care Facility in Abbotsford, BC. She was born in 1929 in Gnadenthal, MB. She grew up on a farm near Winnipegosis, MB and attended the Bicton Heath School. She married Alfred Bergen in 1952. They lived in British Columbia for about 20 years and then moved back to Manitoba in 1975 to a farm in the Fork River area. A tragic accident claimed Alfred's life on April 19, 1989. Neta married John Warkentin in 1991. In 2013 Neta moved back to Abbotsford, BC to be near the care and attention of her immediate family members living there. Neta was predeceased by her husband Alfred Bergen, two sisters, two brothers, Art and Henry, and one niece. Neta is survived by her husband John of Winnipegosis, MB, her six children, their spouses, 22 grandchildren, and 10 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by two brothers, two sisters, seven in-laws, and many nieces, nephews and their families. Neta will also leave behind the Warkentin stepfamily of six, plus their spouses and families. Neta's gifted sewing, baking, and gardening abilities overflowed in generous portions, and flooded our lives with truth and love. Services will be held in British Columbia at Clearbrook Mennonite Brethren Church on January 18; and at Nordheim Mennonite Church in Winnipegosis, MB at 11:00 a.m., February 6. www.dignitymemorial.ca
