Mary Siemens (Fleming) 90, passed away peacefully at Portage District General Hospital in Manitoba on February 5, 2023. She was surrounded by her five living sons.
Mary was born on July 3, 1932 in Carman Manitoba. She was the youngest of the five children of Johann and Eva (Rempel). Mary’s father Johann died at the young age of 24, when Mary was only one year old, and this contributed to a difficult childhood.
Mary married Cornelius in 1955 and had six beloved sons. Mary loved life on the farm and had a profound love of animals. She was at home raising chickens, growing food in her garden, and taking care of her family. She loved to bake for her boys and her boys loved to eat. Mary had a happy heart and chose to see the good around her. She loved to sing about her savior Christ Jesus to her sons.
Mary also loved to read, instilling a love of reading in her sons. She loved doing crossword puzzles, wordsearch, and also the look on her son’s faces when they enjoyed the foods that she made. Favorites were her cinnamon buns and cookies. She also made cottage cheese from raw milk, which she put inside her delicious homemade perogies. Her sons considered themselves blessed to have a mother who cared enough to do these things. Mary loved her children unconditionally, even though her patience was tested many times.
Mary’s family would like to express their appreciation to her sons John and Phillip, for their unwavering support in allowing Mary to live in her own home until the end, as she wanted.
Mary was predeceased by her husband Cornelius, son William, her siblings Annie (Roy), Katharina (Frank), Johnny (Lorraine), and Eva (John). She is survived by her sister Helena Martin (Peter), and her sons David (Betty), John, Frank (Elaine), Phillip, and Daniel (Linda).
Funeral service will be held on Friday, February 10, 2023 at 2:00 p.m.at Doyle’s Funeral Home, Carman.
