Honny, the latest surviving child of Christian & Frieda Wenger, passed away Sunday, August 28th at the Joseph Creek Care Village where she resided for the last 18 months.
Honny Wenger was born December 21st, 1923 in Bern, Switzerland.
The Wenger family emigrated to Canada in 1937 settling in the Invermere valley where she met and married John A. Jones (Jack). They lived in what was then a small and close-knit community where they raised their family. As a homemaker during her childrens’ early years, Honny’s focus was on her family and she was actively involved in her community. A faithful & loyal friend, bonds were formed that remained intact for a lifetime. Eventually as happens with many families there were changes in Honny’s life. She met & married Loren Allen in 1978, relocating to Edmonton until his retirement in 1992, when they established a new home in Cranbrook so Honny could once again be close to friends and family, which now included many grandchildren, all of whom brought her great joy. As well she had strong ties with her extended family in Switzerland where she returned many times. Honny was predeceased by her husband Loren in 1999, her parents Christian & Freida Wenger as well as her siblings: Nelly, Christian,
Sepp, Herb, Yolande, John, Erika and Othmar.
She is survived by all of her children: Peter, Sonya, Kathy, Frank & Wayne, and many great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Honny brought joy, compassion and laughter into the lives of those she
touched during her life journey. She will be sadly missed & will forever hold a special place in the hearts of many.
Honny will be laid to rest along with her beloved brother (also recently deceased) and their mother Frieda Wenger, on Saturday, September 24th. A small service will be held at Mount View Cemetery in Invermere.
At 2 p.m. nephew Cliff & wife Linda will host a “Celebration of Life” at their home in Invermere. Cliff and Linda, well known & loved by their family & community alike have been instrumental in keeping the
extended Wenger family informed, in touch & together throughout the years. Once again they have generously offered their support, time and home so our family can bid farewell to Othmar & Honny, the last
surviving Wenger family members of their generation here in Canada. Those willing to remember Honny & Othmar can make a donation to the Alzheimer’s Society.
