HAROLD WIEBE February 21, 1925 - April 5, 2003 It is with regret and deep sadness that Harold passed away peacefully with his wife by his side at the age of 78 on April 5, 2003 at the Bethesda Hospital. He battled his final illness with calmness and perseverance, even then communicating his love to his wife. Left to cherish his memory is his loving wife, best friend and confidante Mary (nee Wachtendorf) sisters, Gertrude Peters of Vancouver, Laura Heckert of Steinbach; brother Denver Wiebe and his wife Doris of Stapleherst, NE and their families. He was predeceased by his parents, Julius and Susanna Wiebe; brother Harvey Wiebe; brothers-in-laws, Jake Peters and Bill Heckert. Harold was born on February 21, 1925 in the Roland Municipality. As a young boy he moved to Steinbach where he resided his entire life. After attending school he began working for Penner Transfer and then South East Transfer. After leaving the transfer business, he went to work road construction for Brandt Construction and later for Commonwealth Construction. Harold was well known for his many years in sports, playing for both the Steinbach Huskies and Steinbach Millers. He was also an avid curler.
