JACOB PAUL WOLLMANN With his family at his side, Jacob Paul Wollmann, age 71, passed away Friday, March 16, 2001, at Riverview Health Centre after an 11 month battle with cancer. Jacob was born September 17, 1929 in Bernard, Manitoba. He was predeceased by his first wife Barbara (nee Waldner) sons, Jake and Jonathan; brother Joseph; sister Mary Waldner and parents, Paul and Sarah (nee Stahl) Wollmann. Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife Dorothy (nee Howard Haughland) children, Martha Karagiannis (Barry), Marion, Ruben (Christine), Bertha Monrose (Keith), Sam (Amy), Sarah Maines (Keith) daughter-in-law Maryanne Wollmann; step-daughters, Debbie Chan (Tom), Susan Trefz, Kathy Galovics (John), Barbie Adams (Neil) grandchildren, Tasia, Melina and Alex Karagiannis, Christopher and Stephanie Wollmann-Olson, Shania Wollmann, Matthew Monrose, Joshua, Jordan and Lucas Wollmann, Brandon and Tyler Maines; step-grandchildren, Mons, Erik, Mikael and Konrad Chan, Jonathon Trefz, Michael and Bobby Galovics, Brad and Brooke Adams; brothers, Paul (Marie), Martin (Annie), Ben (Katie) and many cousins, nephews, nieces and friends. Jacob was a devoted husband, father and grandfather, compassionate, gentle and full of humour. His strong work ethic took him from farming to sales resulting in overseas trips and other achievement awards. His faith relationship in God demonstrated itself in his love for reading the Scriptures, praying and Christian music which led him to a deep devotion to the work and mission of his church. This inspired him to take on elder, deacon and Sabbath School teacher roles, which allowed him to share the love of God with others and the hope he had in the final resurrection of Gods children. Viewing will be held at Chapel Lawn Funeral Home, 4000 Portage Ave., Monday, March 19, between 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. Funeral service will be at 11:00 a.m., Tuesday, March 20 at Henderson Highway Seventh-day Adventist Church, 1314 Henderson Hwy., with viewing beginning at 10:00 a.m. Interment at Chapel Lawn Memorial Gardens to follow service.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Silver Heights Seventh-day Adventist Church building fund, 2140 Ness Ave., Winnipeg, R3J 0Z4. In tears we saw you sinking, We watched you fade away, You suffered much in silence, You fought so hard to stay. You faced your task with courage, Your spirit did not bend, But still you kept on fighting, Until the very end. God saw you getting tired, When a cure was not His will to be, So He put His arms around you, And whispered "Rest in Me". Thanks for all the years you gave us, And for the times we shared, We only pray that when you left us, You know how much we loved you You know how much we all cared.
