WILLA MAURISCHAT (nee SCHMIDT) Peacefully on October 2, 2003 in Ottawa, ON at 90 years of age, Willa fell asleep in death. Beloved wife of the late Emil Maurischat; dear mother of Donald (Myrla) of Diamond Springs, CA, Robert (Lydia) of Huaraz, Peru, Arlene Malkoske (Grant) of Kanata, ON. Loving grandmother of Zachary, Christopher and Erin. She is survived by sister-in-law Elsie of Winnipeg; brothers, Arnold of Winnipeg, Ralph (Olga) of Kelowna, BC and sister Caroline (Carl) Matthews of Winnipeg, also several nieces and nephews. Predeceased by brothers, Herman, Arthur, Leo, George and Ernest. Willa was born on July 19, 1913 in Camper, MB to Rudolf and Martha Schmidt. Willa grew up and lived on the family farm, except for a few years when she worked in the city. In 1935 she and Emil were married and for many years she and Emil were active members of the Ashern congregation of Jehovahs Witnesses. She looked forward to the fulfilment of Gods purpose to make this earth a paradise. We anticipate seeing her in the resurrection (John 5:28, 29). A memorial service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 25 at the Elks Hall in Ashern, MB.
