Reimer, Helena
Helena Reimer of Morden, MB passed away with family by her side at the age of 75 on Thursday March 18, 2021 at the Tabor Home.
Helena, a contented sunbeam, was a happy and very caring person. She had a stroke at the age of 17 and was in a wheelchair and used a tripod cane to walk. A couple of years after her mom died, she lived with family and caring strangers. Eventually, she got a place at the Tabor Apartments. With the help of homecare, she was able to live on her own which made her very happy. When she was unable to walk any more, she was moved into the Tabor Home. When she heard of someone in Tabor who was sick and dying, she would go and pray with them and their families. She was not afraid to share the Gospel. She was a firm believer of faith and prayer. She received many thank yous from families that she had prayed with for helping them through their hard times and loss.
She is survived by three brothers and three sisters and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents, Jacob and Susanna Reimer, two brothers, David and Peter Reimer as well as three siblings in infancy (two brothers and as sister) and three brothers-in-law.
Funeral service at Wiebe Funeral Chapel, Morden with interment at the Chortitz Old Colony Mennonite Church Cemetery. The family would like to thank the Tabor Home staff for the kindness and care that they provided over the years. Thank you to her many friends for visiting with her and a special thanks to Pastor Jay Wiebe for the many times he went to visit and pray with and for her. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Helena’s memory to the Tabor Home or to the charity on one’s choice.
Here is Helena’s favorite verse:
All the way my Savior leads me
What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His faithful mercies?
Who through life has been my guide
Heavenly peace, divinest comfort
Ere by faith in Him to dwell
For I know whate'er fall me
Jesus doeth all things well
All of the way my Savior leads me
And He cheers each winding path I tread
Gives me strength for every trial
And He feeds me with the living bread
And though my weary steps may falter
And my soul a-thirst may be
Gushing from a rock before me
Though a spirit joy I see
And all the way my Savior leads me
Oh, the fullness of His love
Perfect rest in me is promised
In my Father's house above
When my spirit clothed immortal
Wings it's flight through the realms of the day
This my song through endless ages
Jesus led me all the way
