Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryHENRY E. PLENERT September 30, 1923 - August 10, 2013 Henry passed away peacefully last Saturday evening at the Grace Hospital, after a short illness. In his last weeks he was surrounded by friends and family. He will be greatly missed! Dad was born on September 30, 1923 in Prijut, Ukraine to Henry and Agnes (Neustadter) Plenert. In late 1925 the family emigrated to Canada and spent their first winter in Rosthern, Saskatchewan before homesteading in the Rabbit Lake area. In 1949 he married Mary Friesen and they started their life together in Winnipeg. In 1950 they bought their house on William Avenue where they raised their family, hosted many family and friends gatherings and lived for the next 63 years! Dad loved all things mechanical and electrical and it was reflected in his working life. Those days included Hart Radio, Burnaby Venetian Blinds, CAE (Canadian Aviation Electronics) and finally the City of Winnipeg - traffic and signals department. Henry was predeceased by his parents. He is survived by Mary, his wife of 64 years, his children Ron (Linda), Marilyn (Dave), Arthur (Tracinda) and Harold (Heidi), grandchildren Jennifer (David), Kimberly (Jeremy), Erin, David, Lisa (Ryan) and Tim, five great-grandchildren, and his sister Mary Elias. The family would like to thank the staff at the Grace Hospital - 4 South for the care dad received in his final days. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of your choice. A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, August 20, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. at First Mennonite Church, 922 Notre Dame Avenue, Winnipeg.

My sincere condolences to Mary Plenert and Family. Henry was a “leader” when I was in boys league at First Mennonite. After becoming good friends with his son Arthur, I went on outings with the Plenert family, like camping and snowmobiling. In 1977, I started working in the same building on the same floor with Henry in the Streets and Transportation Department. Henry and Mary volunteered to serve coffee at my Mother’s 90th birthday celebration. In the past couple years, I visited with Henry at Misercordia interim care when Mary was there. - Posted by: Edd & June Schellenberg (Friends) on: Aug 18, 2013
