HOMER KENNETH JANZEN
November 15, 1927 - November 21, 2020
Homer was born on November 15, 1927, in Waldheim, SK, where he grew up on a small family farm with his parents Isaac and Nettie Janzen, and his sisters, Jeanette (Neufeld) and Pearl (Richert). He married Margaret (Gredi) Janzen, of Arnaud, MB, on June 14, 1957. They have four children: Gordon, Enid, Bonita, and Pat.
Studies at CMBC and then medical college in Winnipeg and Saskatoon were followed by a career in medicine, serving as a missionary in India and Nepal for many years. In Canada, he did his residency in Saskatoon and later practiced family medicine and surgery in Rosthern, SK, and Steinbach, MB.
Church was an essential part of Homer's life. His love for God was always lived out in the community of the church. He was an integral part of several church communities in Saskatchewan, India, Nepal and Manitoba. In later years Homer and Gredi cherished the deep friendships they made at Steinbach Mennonite Church.
Homer is survived by his wife of 63 years, Margaret (Gredi) Janzen, his sister, Pearl Richert, son Gordon (Linda Enns) Janzen, daughters Enid (Mel) Letkeman, Bonita Janzen, and Pat Janzen (Wilf Neufeld), 10 grandchildren, and one great-grandson. He was predeceased by his parents Isaac and Nettie Janzen, and his sister Jeanette Neufeld. Homer will be lovingly remembered by his family and friends.
A service to celebrate Homer's life is being planned by the family.
