Tina Neufeld
TINA (DOERKSEN) NEUFELD On Sunday, December 9, 2001, one of the angels of the earth was taken from us and from this life of joy and hardship to her rightful, eternally joyful home. The void left by her passing is only our sense of loss, not the sadness of an unfinished life or anything left to be done. Tina Doerksen arrived on this earth on June 27, 1927 in Barkfield, MB, to Isaac F. and Susanna Doerksen, the third of 10 children. Although she surely felt the hard bite of the Depression in her early years, she was loved by her parents and grew up in the strength of a closely knit family, in evidence to all of us through the years and to the day of her death. In her own words, though, the adventurous journey of her life began in 1943, when, at the age of 16, she accepted a ride home in a 1920 Pontiac from Harry Neufeld. They were married on April 25, 1948, in Steinbach, MB, where they lived all their lives, except for a year and some months in Paraguay in the late 1980s. Although her occupation might have been listed as homemaker, Tina worked for several small businesses, not only because she wanted to augment the family income, but because she genuinely enjoyed the interactions and relationships in those circumstances. As well, the steady departure of bread, soup, preserved goods, cakes, and pies from her kitchen to other tables made it clear that she was in part a homemaker to many. She often said that a good appetite was a blessing, and many of the stories we tell about her have something to do with the great production and consumption of food in our home. Few of us, it should be added, have memories that do not include images of her with knitting needles or a sewing machine. No summary of Tina's life would be complete, and especially to her, without a mention of her faith. She was baptized into the EMC Church on July 30, 1944, and never wavered in her commitment to her Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, or in her belief that in all things there was a purpose related to the Kingdom of God. This belief formed the basis for all her values and decisions, and while we knew that it was the goodness of her being which led her to do so much for others, she always maintained she was nothing without her God. We do not diminish any other part of Tina's life by saying that nothing on this earth meant more to her than her family - her husband, her children, her sons and daughters-in-law, and her grandchildren - and nothing gave her greater pleasure than to see as many of them as possible at one time, preferably around one of her ample tables or at the cottage, the centre of family life in the summer. She was predeceased by her husband Harry and her daughter Joanne, and leaves to mourn Harry and Jean (Johnson) of Calgary, Ken and Kaaren (Peters) and Twila (Cruikshank) of Winnipeg, Lois and Dave Penner and Don Janzen of Steinbach, and David of Portland, OR; her grandchildren, Michael, Jeremy, Megan, Joshua, Bryan, Mark, Matthew, Timothy and David John; brothers and sisters; nieces and nephews. We will always remember her as the one who gave us life and food and humour; who gave us our instincts for kindness and for the life of the spirit; who showed us how to deal with death and seek the life beyond it. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in the name of Tina Neufeld to Canadian Foodgrains Bank. Funeral services will be held on Thursday, December 13 at 2:00 p.m. at the Steinbach Evangelical Mennonite Church, 422 Main St., with viewing at the church prior to the service.

Born in Winnipeg, he was the son of the late Frederick and Georgina O'Connell. He joined the Royal Canadian Naval Volunteer Reserve in 1939. He was one of the first 25 sailors sent to H.M.S. Raleigh where, eventually 150 Canadian sailors were trained as officers in the British Navy. Following receipt of his commission he served on several ships of the Royal Navy and Canadian Navy and received the North Atlantic Star, the South Atlantic Star and the Mediterranean Star, all awarded to those who saw combat in those seas.

William Poole
WILLIAM REGINALD POOLE 1941 - 2001 Peacefully at home, surrounded by family and the loving support of many, Bill Poole passed away on December 11, 2001. Left to miss his many gifts are his wife Marilyn; his children, Brad (Barb), Laurel (Dave) and David; his mother Evelyn; sister Lois (David); sister-in-law Judy; and nieces and nephews, Allison (David), Ross, Airdrie, Ashleigh and Erin; as well as many extended family members and dear friends. He was predeceased by his father Stewart, brother Ross, and first wife Roberta. Bill was born
in Deloraine, MB, and grew up on the family farm near Goodlands. His love for the land began in his childhood and became the focus of his career. After graduating with a degree in Agriculture from the University of Manitoba he served as an agricultural representative in both Killarney and Swan River and wrote for an agricultural publication, The Westminster, in Regina. In 1968 he returned to farm the family land and added the role of manager of the Turtle Mountain Conservation District in 1977. While Bill was manager of the TMCD, he became interested in Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) programs. In 1989 he was invited to join DUC as their Provincial Agrologist. In this role, he implemented the agricultural component of the North American Waterfowl Management Plan in Manitoba. He became involved with many soil and water conservation and wildlife-friendly farming initiatives, such as Winter Cereals, Forage Programs & Zero Till Extension work. His job grew to encompass national issues involving land use policies and DUC vision; developing mission statements and participating in Task Force groups. Bill was the editor of two native plant revegetation manuals, which have gained international recognition. He was heavily involved with the formation of the new DUC subsidiary, Native Plant Solutions, and as Bill would say, "The rest is history." The apex of Bill's commitment to the soil and water conservation ethic was reached when he became president of the Soil Conservation Council (SCC) of Canada. DUC graciously provided time for him to be available to undertake this significant role. Bill served on the executive of SCC for seven years, the last three of those as president. He worked very hard during that time to help the SCC gain national recognition. In addition, Bill served on the Board of Directors of the Red River Co-op. Bill gave generously of his gifts: his intelligence, integrity and sense of humour. He was enormously proud of the accomplishments of his family and supported them in every endeavour. He was steadfast in his dedication, love, and strength. Bill believed you should love what you do and do what you love and encouraged his family to do the same. A memorial service to celebrate Bill's life will be held on Saturday, December 15 at 1:00 p.m. at Silver Heights United Church. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Native Plant Solutions in care of Ducks Unlimited. THOMSON FUNERAL CHAPELS 783-7211
