Tina Thiessen(nee Wiebe)

1938 - 2002

Cancer consumed her body; her life and soul belong to the Lord. At 13 she acknowledged her need of a Saviour; at 17 she was baptized, andmarried at 18 to Peter Thiessen. Together they had 8 children (the 3rdson, who was mentally handicapped, is now with the Lord). Though life presented many challenges to her, she used them to bring her closer to the Lord. She died as she lived - a testimony to God’s grace. Her fourweeks in palliative care were filled with prayer, praise, and songthrough a haze of pain and drugs. There were no complaints, no anguish of soul, no laments, no curses. Her mind was on heaven. We will miss her for now. The family thanks the staff at the Boundary Trails Palliative Care Ward - you were professional, but more than that - you cared.Funeral service was held Saturday December 14, 2002, 2:00pm at Zion Mennonite Church, Rev. Bill Thiessen officiating.  Interment followed at the Zion Church Cemetery.  Donations may be made to Boundary Trails Health Centre Foundation, Palliative Care.
