GEORGE BERGMANN
George was born in Ruckenau, Ukraine on June 16, 1921. In 1926 his family immigrated to Canada, eventually settling in Ste. Anne, Manitoba.
In January, 1944, George found his personal relationship with Jesus. Later that year he was baptized and became a member of the Steinbach Mennonite Brethen Church. His faith never wavered, and carried him through his life's journey. Dad loved the church! He served on many committees, and together George and Esther served as deacons for 25 years.
On October 15, 1950 he married Esther Regehr, his sweetheart. They enjoyed nearly 69 years of marriage. George and Esther created a home filled with unconditional love. Dad treated mom like a queen, and there was never a lack of affection for her. She was his 'sweets'!
George is survived by his wife Esther; children, Art (Lois), Judy (Art) Lautt, Lin (JC) Peters, Jan (Harold) Kehler, Kathy (Bob) Winkler and Rick (El); 19 grandchildren and their families; 39 great-grandchildren (and two on the way!).
He was predeceased by his parents and seven siblings.
Honorary pallbearers are George's grandchildren.
We are grateful for the many years we had with George, and will miss him immensely.
Visitation will be held on Monday at 7:00 p.m. at Birchwood Funeral Chapel with a meditation at 7:15 p.m.
Celebration of Life service will be held on Tuesday, October 8 at 11:00 a.m. at the Steinbach Mennonite Brethren Church corner of Second Street and Lumber Avenue in Steinbach.
Interment will be held prior to the funeral service.

When I was working for Manitoba Conservation, George had a timber Sale in the Sandilands Provincial Forest east of Richer. With his son Art, they were were honest, pleasant and always very fair to everyone. George always asked and he kept everyone informed of all his plans. The hydro pole market was very good in the 70's and he always made sure everything was logged properly. George would never complain if something became a hardship. He was a true gentleman. Rest in peace George and may God comfort the your family at this difficult time. - Posted by: Jack Kowalchuk (friend) on: Oct 05, 2019
