MARTHA WIEBE (BERGEN)
Born: May 09, 1959
Date of Passing: Aug 24, 2013
Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryMARTHA WIEBE (nee BERGEN) It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved wife and mom, Martha Wiebe on Saturday, August 24, 2013 after her courageous fight against cancer. She is survived by her husband Grant, children Kristyn, Justin and Jared (Allison) as well as eight sisters, three brothers and their families. She is predeceased by her mother, Helena, father Jacob, and her brother, Benjamin. Martha was born May 9, 1959 in Chaco, Paraguay to Helena and Jacob Bergen. She and her family returned to Canada and settled in Plum Coulee, Manitoba in 1965. It was here where she met her husband, Grant and began the start of their relationship, which led to 33 years of marriage. Martha worked for 28 years with Penner Foods (which later became IGA, then Sobeys) until she retired in 2010. She then embarked on a new journey with Crosstown Civic Credit Union. She finally accomplished one of her dreams this past year when she and Grant purchased their own cottage at Moose Lake Provincial Park, where many other family members reside as well. Martha had such zeal for life. Her attitude and infectious smile impacted so many clients and friends on a daily basis and her laughter helped to light up a room. She leaves behind an irreplaceable hole in the lives of so many loved ones. All are welcome to come and celebrate the life of Martha Wiebe, which will be held at Eastview Community Church, 3500 De Vries Avenue, East St. Paul, MB at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, August 29, 2013.

We spent many summers at the lake enjoying swimming, tubing, camp fires, s'mores and sing alongs with Justin, Krysitn and Jarred. Martha always had the best stories...and ideas... she was always a warm and loving person. We are so happy that you are back at Moose Lake, a place I know Martha always loved. In our sadness we also have so many memories. It is those memories Martha helped give that will help thru the loss. Our prayers and thoughts are with all of you. - Posted by: The /Frayer/Danylchuk Family (Moose Lake) on: Sep 02, 2013

My heartfelt condolences to Grant, Kristyn, Justin, Jared, Allison and the Bergen family. May the Lord comfort you. It saddens me to see that Martha had had cancer and passed away. Martha and I worked together at Jeffery's IGA in the 80's. She was a fun co-worker and friend. I have fond memories of her outspokenness, enthusiastic approach to life and strong faith in God. It was a treat to catch up with her over the years at Penners/IGA/Sobeys. Her bubbly personality will be missed. - Posted by: Caroline Brandt () on: Aug 29, 2013

Sincere sympathy to you, Grant, and your family on the untimely passing of Martha. I really enjoyed working with Martha, she was very diligent and a real people-person. I enjoyed her upbeat attitude and sense of humor. I remember how well she communicated in her first interview and her genuine interest in helping people. And this she did well at Crosstown while I worked with her. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Wiebe family at this difficult time. - Posted by: Jim Neufeld (former co- worker at Crosstown Civic CU) on: Aug 28, 2013

Sadness and sorrow comes upon us when someone like Martha has been taken away. I will always remember and cherish the fun times we had living on Taunus while our kids were growing up. Tax time will not be the same without Martha coming over and sharing a few laughs. Heaven has another angel. Our deepest condolences Grant, Kristyn, Justin, Jared and Allison. - Posted by: Karen Podolsky (Maxcine & Matthew) (Neighbor and Friend) on: Aug 28, 2013

Our sincere deepest sympathy goes out to you at this time to the entire Wiebe Family. Martha will be sadly missed by anyone who knew her. Her infectious laughter could make anyone's darkest day brighter. Heaven has certainly gained a special angel and created a huge void down here on earth. There are many times Grant that I share the great times we had together at dinner functions and occasions that we looked forward to seeing Martha because she had that special something that made everyone feel welcome and we all felt like a big family. Those days will always hold a special place in my heart and Grant you and Martha mean more to me than you will ever know. We are all grieving with your family at this time and hoping time can ease the pain. Martha it is not good bye but so long for know. Till we meet again. We all love you and we are thankful and cherish the times we spent together with your family. Thinking of all of you at this sad and most trying time. Darryl, Jackie, Courtney and Amanda. Miss you lots. - Posted by: Darryl and Jackie Yeo (Friend and co-worker.) on: Aug 27, 2013
