Emil Reimer
1928 - 2021
Emil Reimer passed away on January 12, 2021 at the De Salaberry District Health Centre in St. Pierre, at the age of 92.
He had a happy childhood and as a teenager joined the threshing gangs out west. Back in Twin Creek, while hoeing beets, he met the love of his life Tina Peters (who had recently moved from Saskatchewan). Five months before their wedding, Dad's father passed away very unexpectedly and Dad went home to help on the parents’ farm until their wedding.
Dad and Mom were married on July 18, 1953 and after a short honeymoon at Clear Lake, they farmed near New Bothwell from 1953 to 1965. In 1965 they moved to Twin Creek, when God gave them the opportunity to purchase and operate a turkey farm. This later turned into a chicken, turkey and grain farm.
He had a great faith in his Heavenly Father and lived his life with that perspective.
Some of his services in the church included being a S.S. teacher and leader at Prairie Grove Chapel. Later at Blumenort Church he helped with Bible camp, was a S.S. Superintendent, a deacon, and served on several church boards including MCC and the Food Grains Bank. Being a deacon couple gave Mom and Dad many opportunities to serve others.
In 1998, they moved from their farm at Twin Creek to a house in Steinbach; enjoying semi-retirement while their son Lorne looked after the farm. Dad still loved to make regular trips to the farm and enjoyed helping with some combining well into his mid-eighties. In 2011, they moved to Bridgepark Manor which Mom and Dad were able to enjoy together for 8 years.
He is lovingly remembered by his wife Tina, married 67 years; children: Eleanor (Larry), Elaine (Stephen), Kathleen (Ike), Wanda (Sieg), Lorne (Lu);
He was predeceased by his parents, Aron and Margaretha, 4 brothers, and 4 sisters, and 1 son-in-law (Rey Friesen).
A public come and go viewing will be held on Monday, January 18, 2021 from 7:30 - 9:00 p.m. at Birchwood Funeral Chapel, Steinbach, MB.
The funeral service will be held on Tuesday, January 19, 2021 at 2:00 p.m. at Birchwood Funeral Chapel, Steinbach, MB, followed by a private family interment.
