MELANE GUNTHER
1933 - 2016
On the evening of October 20, 2016 Melane passed from this world to her eternal Home. Melane was born on May 23, 1933, the 6th child of 7, to Peter and Louise Kroeker. Her childhood was spent on the farm with a large extended family in the small town of Landmark,
Manitoba. She attended the Prairie Rose EMC church where she was baptized and met her future husband Pete Gunther.
She was a strong woman who prevailed through many adversities and we, the family, are sad that she had to leave us but we celebrate who she was and rejoice in the knowledge of God's promises.
Melane was predeceased by her son Edward and son-in-law Adrian. She is survived by her husband of 62 years, Peter, her children Peter (Marita), John (Ingried), David(Teresa), Philip (Janine) and Ruth(Craig), many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, as well as her oldest brother Ed and youngest sister Elvira, sister-in-laws Sara, Gertrude, Leni, Lydia and Jake Skjaerlund, Macy Hildebrandt and Margaret Frey.
Interment will be held on Thursday, October 27, 2016 at 11:00 am at Maclure Road Mennonite Cemetery, 33965 Maclure Road, Abbotsford, BC.
