On May 27, 1950 Edith and Walter Janzen married and in 1958 entered full-time pastoral ministry serving churches in U.S.A. and Canada. She was strengthened throughout the years by her unwavering faith in her salvation and eternal life through Jesus Christ. Her endless loving kindness was a lifeline for her children, grandchildren, siblings, siblings-in-law, nieces, nephews, friends and neighbours. All of us have been loved and appreciated by this dear person and our lives positively and forever changed for the better. She was predeceased by her parents and by her husband Walter Janzen on May 15, 2000. Her passing is mourned by everyone who knew her and specifically by her children Les (Lynda), Marilyn (Larry), Richard (Judi), Ken (Jill), Barbara (Peter); her grandchildren Jerrit, Jason, Janelle, Tegan (Mark), Michael (Katie), Genevieve, Becky (Calvin), Joel, Henry; her great-grandchildren Madelyn, Camryn, Greyson; and her siblings Helen and Josh.

Her day has come not gone Her sun has risen not set Her life now changed Beyond the reach of death or change Not over, but begun.

  • I am so sad. Very recently, Edith and I reconnected at the funeral of a cousin. She was so vibrant, funny and irreverant (in a good way). There are many wonderful Ediths in our extended family, and I was pleased to see that she measured up to the name. My sincere condolences to Edith's family, and to my other cousins, Josh and Helen. - Posted by: Eleanor Andres (Cousin) on: Jan 13, 2015
