It is with heavy hearts and deep sadness we say goodbye to our husband, dad, papa, and friend to many. Abe Froese, 67 years of Winkler, MB passed away peacefully on Tuesday June 21, 2022 surrounded by his family.
He is survived by his wife, Cynthia, daughter, Amanda (Josh) Hildebrand, three grandchildren, Gabrielle, Gavin and Quinn along with his sisters, brothers and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his father, mother, sister, Marge, and brother, John.
Abe was born August 10, 1954 to John E. and Helen J. Froese. His dad passed away when he was very young and he quit school to help out on the farm. He had very fond memories of his childhood, the fun and the trouble they got into. He was self employed and hauled loads to and from Winnipeg for 37 years for Winkler Meats. He was an avid farmer working hard to provide for his family whether it was hauling bales, sugar beets, or helping neighbours and friends in his spare time. Abe was always willing to lend a hand to anyone in need and offered his advice freely. Abe was loyal to his commitments whether they were work related or family. He was a hardworking, devoted man. We will always remember him for his love of life, joking around and making us laugh. He always had a good story to tell. On September 8, 1982, Abe married Cynthia Renton of Morden and started their married life south of Winkler. They were blessed with one child, Amanda. From the day of her arrival, she was the apple of her dad’s eye and stole his heart right away. The feeling was mutual. There was nothing Amanda would not do for her dad. Abe loved his family very much and his grandchildren were number one. He could not get enough of them. He loved to spend time teasing, playing and visiting with them. If anything was wanted, they would seek out their papa! Thank you, Abe, for loving us. We will miss you dearly but look forward to reuniting with you in Heaven.
We would like to thank the staff at Boundary Trails Health Centre for the care that was received.
