ERNA REIMER
Erna was born in the village of Somoljowka, Ukraine on July 15, 1925. Her parents, John and Kaethe (Martens) Reimer along with Erna, immigrated to Canada in November 1925 and settled on a farm at Meadows, Manitoba.
Upon completing her high school, she worked at Winnipeg Supply during the winter months and helped on the family farm in the summers. Her next employment was found at Canadian Red Cross, where she became the driver for blood clinics held throughout Manitoba and Northwest Ontario. From there she moved on and studied and worked in the Microbiology Department at St. Boniface Hospital for 26 years.
After retirement, she enjoyed her many interest including gardening, reading, golf, crossword puzzles, painting in watercolors and travelling – including the three car trips to see the Rocky Mountains at the age of 92, 93 and 94!
She was predeceased by her parents, John 1971, Kaethe 1988 and brother Paul in 2014.
She is survived by her three sisters, Elizabeth Doell, Johanna (Peter) Bergen and Helene, as well as three nephews and three nieces and their families.
At her request, a private family service will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to Siloam Mission, Habitat for Humanity, or a charity of your choice.

Helen. Our deepest sympathy on the passing of Erna. It will be very lonely for you. Where one sister was, the other was also. - Posted by: Emil & Katie Hoas (Friend ) on: Jan 11, 2021

Dear Helene, I will miss seeing the two of you together. Where there was one of you there was always the other - which I loved. I know you were close. I am very sorry for your loss and honoured to have been able to get to know you both over the past number of years. You've done a lot of good and the world has lost a very special soul. Warm regards, Patti Smith - Posted by: Patti Smith (Friend) on: Jan 11, 2021

Hi Helen, My deepest condolences. How I wish I could come to see you, but circumstances won't allow it. Please know that I think of you. The fondest memory of Erna and you is when you came to pay us the unexpected visit in Aylmer, ON. Be well. Love, JL - Posted by: MaryAnne (Friend) on: Jan 09, 2021

I was so very sorry to hear of Erna’s passing. I loved our visits and especially enjoyed hearing about all the travel adventures Helene and her went on. Erna’s talent as an artist was unbelievable. Erna will be sadly missed. God’s blessings. Love, Vernelle - Posted by: Vernelle Mirosh (Friend) on: Jan 09, 2021
