Irene Ruth Neufeld (nee Ens)
1951 ~ 2021
It is with great sadness we announce Irene Ruth Neufeld, Winkler formerly of Altona passed away at Boundary Trails Health Centre on Monday November 1, 2021 at the age of 70 years.
She leaves to mourn her husband, Henry, son, Derek (Tracy) children, Jessica (Caleb, great grandson Christopher), Jenna (Johnny) and Chloe, son, Dwight (Marla) children, Jonah, Autumn and Moses, daughter, Denita (Abe) children, Summer and Austin.
Irene met her Lord and Saviour at an early age and was baptized upon the confession of her faith in the Blumenort Mennonite Church in Rosetown. She married the love of her life, Henry in 1972 and they were blessed with 49 years together. Irene enjoyed baking, family gatherings, sewing and she loved her children, grandchildren and great grandchild. She never missed a school concert, dance or piano recital, hockey game, horse show or soccer game. They always knew she was there cheering for them. She also enjoyed coffee and dessert with the ladies at Gingerwood Lane. After a 2-year courageous battle with cancer, she is now resting with her Lord Jesus. She chose the joy of the Lord daily, with a selfless and positive attitude; always thinking of others first and never complaining.
Private service with interment at Westridge Memorial Gardens.
