Alma Young (nee Kwast)

1914 - 2007

On Tuesday, November 13, 2007 at Pembina-Manitou Health Centre, Alma Young of Manitou aged 93 years passed away peacefully.

Although her official birth date is registered as January 15, 1914, Alma’s family always celebrated earlier on October 15^th because “the pumpkins and cabbages were in the field when she was born”.

She leaves to mourn her passing 1 daughter, Linda Pincock; 4 sons, Kenneth Boyd and Lois, Murray and Marilyn, David and Bonnie, Jim and Susan; 15 grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren as well as 4 sisters-in-law, Lydia Kwast, Milly Kwast, Marie Kwast, Ollie Rach; 1 brother-in-law, Stuart and Mary Young and numerous relatives and friends too many to mention.  She will be sadly missed by everyone who knew her.

She was predeceased by her parents, August and Maria (nee Lips) Kwast; beloved husband, Alex (1994); son, Glen Young (November 13, 2007) and granddaughter, Heather Jesperson (2001).

Viewing will be from 2:00 pm til 4:00 pm on Sunday, November 18 at Wiebe Funeral Chapel 1050 Thornhill St in Morden and at the church prior to the service.  Funeral service will be held on Monday, November 19, 2007 at St. Andrew’s United Church in Manitou at 2:00 p.m.  Interment to follow at Manitou Cemetery.
