Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryESTHER HEINRICHS (nee SUDERMAN) Esther Heinrichs passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, October 31, 2015, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on September 10, 1931, to Jacob and Susie (nee Buhler) Suderman, in Dalmeny, Saskatchewan, the middle of nine children. Esther went to Normal School in Saskatoon, and taught school for two years before attending Bethany Bible Institute in Hepburn, SK. There she met her future husband, Neil Heinrichs; they married on June 15, 1957. The family lived in the Battlefords then Winnipeg. Esther worked as a nurse until her retirement. She lived a life characterized by love for her family and service to the church. Her love was unconditional and her children and grandchildren never doubted her love for them. She volunteered at MCC thrift shops and several boards. When Neil and Esther moved to Bethel Place, they quickly became part of the active senior's community. Esther was predeceased by her parents Jacob and Susie (Buhler/Bartsch) Suderman, her brother Reuben Bartsch, sisters: Linda Baerg, Elma Penner, Viola Froese, and Shirley Krause; and young son Darcy Heinrichs. She is survived by Neil, her loving husband of 58 years, four children: Barry (Darlene) Heinrichs, Karen Heinrichs, Donna (Norm) Heinrichs-Gale, and Laura (Dan) Dyck; eight grandchildren: Rebekah, Sam, Jericho, Glynis, Graham, Anna, Selena and Caley; and sisters Evelyn Schellenberg and Dolores Wiens, and brother Henry Suderman. The family extends special thanks to the Grace Hospital staff and the Community Palliative Care nurses and support staff.

We are so sorry to miss the memorial where we know Esther will be honored and her life celebrated. We will remember her as a dutiful wife, devoted mother and selfless server. Her courage in living with many years of cancer is an inspiration to us. We also remember her hospitality when we visited, especially her delicious toast, made with home-made bread! We believe Esther's legacy will be a loving lived life for her Lord. May the comfort of the Holy Spirit rest on all of you, her family. - Posted by: Abe & Marcyne Heinrichs (brother to Neil) on: Nov 03, 2015
