Alice Albertha Wiebe
Alice Albertha Wiebe of Carman, MB passed away peacefully on April 5th, surrounded by family.
She was born on August 16th, 1945 in Stoutenburg, Netherlands and lived there until her family immigrated to Canada when she was 14. Arriving in a new country proved difficult as she was unfamiliar with the language, so she entered the workforce. She spent several years employed at the Carman Hospital and began to build her life. This included much socializing with new friends; one was a young man she met at the Carman Bowling Alley.
On October 20th, 1967 she married Rollin Jamieson Wiebe, and together they shared 58 years of marriage, raising their children and working on the family farm in Homewood. In her retirement years, Alice was blessed to enjoy her grandchildren, many close friendships, a new home in Carman and travelling adventures around the world with her husband. Unfortunately, she also struggled with the unpredictable consequences of arthritis which limited her choices as the years progressed.
Alice was well known in her family and community for her vibrant personality. She will be deeply missed by all who loved her.
She is survived by her husband, Rollin J. Wiebe; children, Jason, Marcia, Ryan, and Evan; grandchildren, Rhett, Jackson, Ian, Danielle, Blake and Morgan; her brother, Cornelius and sister-in-law, Shirley. She was preceded in death by her parents, Mass and Leintje Ruiter, her brothers, Gus and Pete, sister-in-law Hennie, and granddaughter Ava.
Funeral services will be held on Friday, April 10 at 2:00 pm at Carman Christian Fellowship with Bob Pauls officiating. Interment will follow at Carman Cemetery.
