FUNK- Maria Funk, aged 99 years, passed away at the Palliser Regional Care Centre in Swift Current on Friday, May 31, 2013.

Maria was born on February 22, 1914, in the Wymark area, the fifth child of Isaac & Elizabeth Wiens. Maria was married to Abe Funk on November 22, 1936, in the Wymark district. They enjoyed 53 years of life together. Mom & Dad farmed in the McMahon area until their move to Swift Current in 1983. She worked hard during those years. She was the keeper of the large vegetable garden, while Dad looked after the yard and the farm. In 2000, Mom moved to the Golden West Manor, and when she needed more care, moved to the Herbert Manor. In 2010, she was admitted to the Palliser Regional Care Centre. Maria was a member of the Evangelical Mennonite Church since 1958, at which time she found the real joy of salvation and the blessedness in the assurance of sins forgiven. She loved Jesus, her Savior and had a concern for other people's salvation. Mom had a very special love for her family, her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and the people she met. She was a faithful prayer warrior who will be deeply missed. The Funk family wants to thank all the staff at the PRCC, doctors, nurses and care aides for their tender, loving, and compassionate care of our mother. We have been blessed by your caring service. God bless you. The Funeral Service was held on Friday, June 10, 2013, at 10:00 am from the East Side Church of God, Swift Current, SK with Pastor Kevin Snyder officiating.
