EDNA SIEMENS
1942-2020
Edna Helen Siemens of Tofield, Alberta passed away peacefully after unexpected illness on November 10, 2020 with her niece, Cindy (Loewen) Drutz, by her side.
Edna was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, to John and Helen (Funk) Siemens of Steinbach, Manitoba, and is survived by one sister, Mildred Loewen, and numerous nieces and nephews and their families. She was predeceased by her immediate family: son, Michael; husband, Tom; daughter, Marcia; as well as brother, John, and sister Ruth (Klassen).
Edna was loved in each of the senior’s lodges where she resided over the past few years; most recently a move to Tofield, AB, to be near family. She made friends easily, always eager to help others, playing piano for sing-alongs, building puzzles, and engaging in conversations that brought laughter and joy. Edna was an avid reader and had a love for genealogy that enabled her to meet many new relatives. We will miss her dearly but are thankful to know that we will be together again one day.

So saddened to hear of Edna’s passing. Though she experienced many tragedies, she remained upbeat. I remember her as conscientious, and studious, but more than happy to share a chuckle. I wish her peace and happiness in this, her next journey! - Posted by: Elma Mantie Schade (Classmate ) on: Nov 30, 2020

My sincere condolences on your loss. I pray that memories of happier times will see you through your time of grief! "God gave us memory so we might enjoy roses in winter. " Edna was a classmate through most of our school lives.
