Justina Fehr-Sawatzky
(nee Dyck)
March 5, 1928 - September 6, 2025
It is with sadness and hope in Christ that the family of Justina Fehr-Sawatzky announces her passing. Justina was born March 5, 1928, in Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua, Mexico, to Peter and Justina Dyck, Canadian Mennonite emigrants from Manitoba. In 1935, the family returned to Canada, settling near Morden.
On July 6, 1947, Justina married Jacob (Jake) Fehr, and together they raised seven children on their farm west of Morden. She was the heart of her home, known for her faith, generosity, delicious cooking, and remarkable seamstress skills. A devoted member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, she instilled in her family a deep love for Jesus, Scripture, music, and education.
She is survived by children Justina (Ron), David (Loretta), Sara (Richard), Betty (Rudy), Cornelius (Joy), and Paul (Cindy); 14 grandchildren, 24 great-grandchildren, and 6 great-great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband Jake (2008), her second husband John (Scortch) Sawatzky (2022), and her son Kenneth (Debbie).
Her final hope was in the resurrection morning, when she will see her Savior and be reunited with her loved ones.
A private family interment will take place prior to the service.
