EDITH WAGNER (nee LEONHARDT) Peacefully, on Tuesday, October 19, 2004 at Grace Hospital, God called Edith home, and took away all pain. Our beloved mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend was born April 1, 1915 in the Russell area, moving to Winnipeg as a young girl. Predeceased by her husband John in 1995, Edith will be missed by her daughter Carol; son John (Judy) and granddaughters, Heather Kozubski (Bob), Cheryl Franklin (Dave), and Lindsay. Also missing her will be her brother Emil Leonhardt (Lynn) sisters-in-law, Laura Leonhardt, Elsie Steiler and Dorothy Huff all of Winnipeg; and many nieces, nephews and extended family residing all over Canada, the United States and Japan. Edith was predeceased by her parents, Mary and Alexander; sister Pauline; and brothers, Ted, Alex, Jack and John. As a young woman entering the work force, she began as a domestic. She then joined Eatons as a sales person in Hardware, China, and Womens Clothing, working into her early 70s. A woman of strong faith, Edith was an active member of Albright Church, participating in the womens ministry and missions. The family wishes to thank the staff of Oakview Place Personal Care Home for their care and kindness. We will celebrate Ediths life on Saturday, October 23 at Albright Church, 3400 DeVries Ave., at 10:00 a.m., with visitation one hour prior.
