PETER PAULS August 10, 1929 - August 5, 2004 Peter was the youngest of nine brothers (six served in Second World War) and two sisters born to Henry and Anna (nee Hiebert) Pauls, of Winkler, MB. They were suffocated by children even so he was pampered by doting parents who were delighted in this late in life gift. Having just laboured the previous lot, they thought they might as well relax and enjoy Peter, expecting to rear no superstar. He was baptised and accepted as a member of the Winkler Mennonite Brethren Church at the age of 14. He transferred his membership to the Winkler Bergthaler Church, Nancys home church, prior to their August 24, 1952 wedding (which was postponed due to the endemic polio ravishing the community). Surviving siblings are Albert, Daniel, Corny, Anna and George. Deceased are Jake, Hank, Eva, Levi and Frank. His soul has now been returned to our Creator. Dearly missed by his precious wife, Nancy (nee Enns) children, Erroll, Marla, Wendell, Celia, Lyle and Nina and his grandchildren, Jodie and Jeffrey, Alana and Kyle, Dallas, Lindsay and Nykolas, Aidan and Angus, Lacey, Jessica, Alyssa and Stephen. Special "hello" and "good-byes" to his boyhood friends of his first 20 years. Thank you to the wonderful Barkfield students and their empathetic parents for their patience and tolerance for this his first full time paying job; to Dr. Elliot and his instructors and the many fellow students in medical technology in Brandon; to the doctors and co-workers in the Freemasons Morden General; to the doctors and co-workers at Treherne; and to the "100 odd" doctors and the wonderful family of co-workers during his last 26 years at Bethesda. There will be a brief memorial service on Sunday, August 8 at 2:00 p.m. at the Birchwood Funeral Chapel, Steinbach. The University of Manitoba, Faculty of Medicine will, in due time, take charge of the private memorial rituals for the recently bereaved members at the assigned Honour Section of the Brookside Cemetery. Flower and memorial donations are respectfully declined. - The family.
