MARTHA KLIEWER June 6, 1920 - August 21, 2014 Peacefully on August 21, 2014, with family at her side, mom passed away into the loving arms of Jesus, at the Bethania Mennonite Personal Care Home. Mom was born in Sady Poland to Zacharias and Elizabeth Bartel. She met dad in Germany after the Second World War and together they immigrated to Canada in 1949. On March 4, 1950, mom and dad were married in the South End (Central) MB Church. Mom was a stay-at-home mom and enjoyed cooking, baking, gardening and entertaining. Mom had a strong faith and close relationship with God. She loved singing and participated in the church choir at Central Church and later in the "Liebthaber" choir at Elmwood Manitoba Church. She was also involved with the Willing Helpers fellowship and the Senior's group. Due to failing health, both mom and dad moved to Bethania Haus in 2005 and then to Bethania Mennonite Personal Care Home in 2012. Mom is survived by two children, Henry (Ellen), Dorothy (Winston); grandchildren Candice (Randy), Cheryl, Aaron, Connie (Jon), Reena; great-grandchildren, Alisha, Brennen, Preston; brother David, and numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents, sister Agatha and three siblings in infancy. The family would like to thank the staff at the Bethania Personal Care Home for their loving care, compassion and love. A celebration of mom's life will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, August 27, 2014 at Elmwood Mennonite Brethren Church, 145 Henderson Hwy in Winnipeg, with viewing prior to the service, with interment at Glen Eden Memorial Gardens.
