Mary Dorothy Hiebert (nee Enns)
1936 ~ 2023
On Friday August 18, 2023, Dorothy Hiebert our beloved mother, grandmother, Oma, sister, sister-in-law and friend entered the presence of the Lord peacefully in her sleep at the age of 87 years.
She leaves to mourn her passing three daughters, Barb (Harv) Unrau, Shelly Jones, Bev (Rick) Wiebe, six grandchildren, nine great grandchildren, two sisters, three brothers as well as many nieces and nephews.
Dorothy was born May 18, 1936 to parents, Jacob and Agatha Enns. She grew up and was educated in Schanzenfeld. She worked as a sewing machine operator and waitress before marrying the love of her life, Neil Hiebert on August 24, 1958. They started their married life farming in Graysville, MB. After ten years of farming, and being blessed with four children, Wes, Barb, Shell and Bev, they moved to Winkler where mom was a homemaker and seamstress. She sewed many coats, pants and wedding dresses for others and many bright dresses that we girls would have preferred not to wear (Well not all of us don’t like wearing dresses!). They purchased Valley Transport and mom did all of the paperwork as she did when they owned the Car Wash in Winkler. After the kids left home, Mom began her career as head cook at the Winkler Bible School until they closed their doors. This was something she enjoyed immensely, feeding the students. She also always remembered the grand and great grandchildren’s favorite baked goods, which she made more often after Dad passed away in 2020. When she moved into Crocus, some things she looked forward to every evening were playing Skipbo with her sister-in-law, Anne Wiens from 7-11pm, going for breakfast with her sisters, Mabel and Lorrianne, supper with her brother, Ed who would join them. After the Bible School closed, Mom and Dad began to spend winters away in Texas volunteering for Maranatha Missions where Mom taught the ladies how to sew. For health reasons, they stopped travelling so Mom continued to volunteer in the fabric department at the MCC store in Winkler. Mom’s faith in the Lord was very strong right until she went to her eternal rest.
Funeral service at 2:00 p.m. on Friday August 25, 2023 at the Winkler Bergthaler Mennonite Church with interment at Westridge Memorial Gardens. Donations may be made in Dorothy’s memory to the Boundary Trails Health Centre Foundation designated to Palliative Care.
