PETER I. HOEPPNER Peter I. Hoeppner, 80, went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, September 1, 2002. He was born on July 7, 1922, to Isaac and Elizabeth Hoeppner at their home south of Morden. As a young man, Peter accepted Christ as his Savior and was baptized in the Glencross Mennonite Church in 1943. His earnest desire to be a living testimony for the Lord was very evident in his life. He participated actively in the church until the debilitating effects of Parkinsons disease no longer allowed him to. Even though his health failed, he never lost his faith in God or his deep love for his family. Peter will be remembered and sadly missed by his wife Annie (nee Rempel) four sons and three daughters, Leonard and Evelyn Hoeppner of Morden, Eunice and John Fehr of Winkler, Ed and Verna Hoeppner of Morden, Art and Hilda Hoeppner of Altona, Grace and Flo Poiron of Morden, Joyce and Rod Neufeld of Morden, Tony and Linda Hoeppner of Brandon; 19 grandchildren; his brother Henry; sisters, Annie and Susan Hoeppner, and Margaret Sawatzky. Peter was predeceased by one daughter and one grandson, both in infancy, and by three brothers and six sisters. The funeral service will be held Friday, September 6 at 11:00 a.m. at the Morden E.M.M. Church, 610 1st St., Morden. Interment to follow at the Glencross Cemetery.
