She was predeceased by her husband Peter in 1999. Hilda is survived by her daughters Irene (John Sawatzky), and Ursula (Erni Wiebe). She is also survived by five grandchildren Tamira (Elle), Cynthia (Greg), Robert (Anjali), Jonathan (Jennifer) and Philip (Cassondra); four great-grandsons Maxwell, Thomas, Fischer and Ellis; and an extended family that includes four sisters-in-law, many cousins, nephews and nieces. Hilda was born in Kamenskaya, Ukraine, on December 21, 1919 to David and Katharina Froese. During The Second World War she fled to Germany where she worked until immigrating to Canada in 1948. She met her husband Peter Mierau in Winnipeg and they were married in 1954. Together they showed their love for God and His people by serving the Winnipeg Central Mennonite Brethren Church as deacons for many years. During the summers, their cottage at LacLu, Ontario was a favorite place to entertain family and friends. They also enjoyed many trips together. Family was very important to her and she loved being Oma and Omi to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She will be greatly missed. Funeral service for Hilda will be held on Thursday, September 25, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. at Elmwood Mennonite Brethren Church, 145 Henderson Hwy. with viewing prior to the service. Interment in Glen Eden Memorial Gardens. In lieu of flowers, if friends so desire, donations may be made to Mennonite Central Committee or to Square One World Media (formerly FLN).

Emotions couldn't not be held when reading about her passing! I was at their place, for 6 months, while participating at the MCC International visiting program. Peter Mierau, had been a colleague of my grandpa, medical doctor as he was, some time in Russia. They were the ones to indicate the family to me when applying to stay in Canada! I always have good memories of the whole family! That is what life is about, one comes and goes, but certainly we leave a mark! Tante Mierau, certainly left a positive one! TO all of us, I am sure! Love, from Brazil, Anne - Posted by: Anne Ehlert (Brazilian visitor guest through MCC) on: Oct 03, 2014
