Helen Neufeld Heppner passed away peacefully at the age of 98 on Thursday, November 3, 2022 with her daughters by her side.
She is survived by her daughters, Valerie (Bob) Fudge and Shirley (Bill) Cavers, seven grandchildren, ten great grandchildren and six great great grandchildren. She is also survived by her sisters Doris (Earl) Hyde, Edna Konechny, and sister-in-law Helen Hildebrand.
Mom was a very special aunt to many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her first husband Frank Neufeld, second husband Abe Heppner, one son, one daughter, three grandchildren, one great grandson, three sisters and three brothers.
Born in 1924 to Peter J. Hildebrand and Helena Hildebrand (nee Kroeker) north of Plum Coulee, MB, Helen was the oldest of 9 children. She raised her children in Morden, MB before calling Winnipeg home in the early 1990’s. She was a bright light in the lives of everyone who knew her. She loved crocheting and making blankets and pillows for her family. She loved walking, trips to the malls and made the best cinnamon buns. In her younger days she loved road trips to BC to visit her family and friends. She lived for her family and doted on them, especially her grandchildren. If you asked her what the best job in the world was, she would have said it was looking after her grandchildren.
“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine”.
