PETER T. MARTENS 1911 - 2000 Of Steinbach, MB, quietly, in the early hours of December 12, our dear father was called to his eternal home. Left to mourn his passing are his wife Susan; three daughters, Lillian (Justus) Leschied of Dryden, Ont., Evelyn (Larry) Hohn of Edmonton, AB, Rosana (Helmut) Neufeld of Amaranth, MB; three sons, Leonard (Glenda) of Barrie, Ont., Larry (Lise) of Ottawa, Ont., Richard of Toronto, Ont; 13 grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; five stepchildren, and their families. He is also survived by two brothers, George (Lena) of Grunthal, Ben (Mary) of Winnipeg; and four sisters, Lena Schellenberg, Steinbach, Mary (Frank) Doerksen, Nettie (Pete) Funk and Annie (Herman) Froese all of Grunthal, MB. He was predeceased by his first wife Annie in 1984; one child in infancy; three brothers and two sisters. Dad was always a cheerful and positive person, encouraging those around him.
