Arthur G. Toews Obituary –
It is with deep sadness that our family announces the passing of our father and grandfather, Arthur Toews on Tuesday November 25, 2025 at the age of 100 years.
He is predeceased by his wife Hilda, and eldest son Ken.
He will be missed by his son Vernon (Wendi), and grandchildren Jessika (Travis), Katarina and Kole, as well as, his sister, Margareta Toews, and brother Edgar Toews.
Arthur was born in April 16,1925 to Isaak and Margaretha Toews of Arnaud, MB. He was the oldest of 8 children and spoke fondly of growing up on the farm with uncles, aunts and cousins living in close proximity. He also spoke of the challenges of living during the depression, and how it was a simpler time. He enjoyed his relationships with his siblings, and looked forward to opportunities to connect with them as they all got older.
As dad started his teaching career, he met Hilda Loeppky from Halbstadt, MB. He was smitten and in August 1948, they were married and spent 75 years together. During this time, they relocated several times in southern Manitoba as dad took on different teaching positions, and finally settled in Morden.
Dad was a full-time teacher for 38 years, and in addition to his teaching duties, dad and mom were active members in the Morden Mennonite Church. Dad was a committed Christian, and his faith guided him in everything that he did.
Dad found enjoyment in a variety of community sporting activities, including golfing at Minnewasta Golf course, curling and badminton. He enjoyed teaching in another form by being a Driver Education instructor, where many High School students and widows learned how to drive under his patient guidance. He also gave back to his community by being a volunteer ambulance driver for several years.
In his retirement years dad found ways to keep active, and these activities included owning and managing an apartment block, delivering motorhomes for Triple E in Winkler, going on trips with my mother, carpentry and gardening.
Dad loved and appreciated his grandchildren. He really enjoyed hearing about their accomplishments and milestones, and was always interested in knowing what they were up to.
We, as a family give thanks to God for the long-life dad was given, and we will cherish the memories he left us with.
