TENA REMPEL
(nee FALK)

Tena Rempel, passed away peacefully December 4, 2020, at Salem Home in Winkler.
She was born to Johann and Elizabeth Falk on February 7, 1931, at Kleinstadt, Manitoba (near Altona). Mom, along with her twin sister Mary were the fourth and fifth of seven children. Mom was baptized upon confession of her faith in the spring of 1948. She grew up on the family farm where she eventually met David Rempel. They were married in the Altona Sommerfeld Church on May 23, 1948, and were blessed with one daughter & three sons, and nearly 60 years together.
Mom worked in the Altona sewing factory for 22 years. When she was still well enough, she prided herself on going for walks daily. Mom's interests included journaling, reading, crossword puzzles and quilting. She loved quilting and made many, many quilts and passed them on to three generations of her family.
After Dad passed away, Mom took several road trips to Alberta and BC. Mom enjoyed visiting with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Shortly after Dad passed away in 2007, Mom moved to Winkler where she met many new friends and resided until August of this year, when she moved to Salem Home where she made many new friends once again. Everyone who got to know her, including her care givers, loved her gentle and kind nature.
Tena was predeceased by her parents Johann and Elizabeth Falk, her husband David Rempel, three brothers and three sisters and one grandson Chadwynne. She is survived by her children Irene (Jake) Buhler, Ron (Marilyn) Rempel, Harold (Carol) Rempel, and Ken (Kathy) Rempel, her 12 grandchildren, Valerie (Peter) Dyck, Gerald (Anhelia) Buhler, Allan Buhler, Loretta (Randy) Dyck, Harvey (Lindsay) Buhler, Matthew (Yvonne) Rempel, Bradley (Sarah) Rempel, Dustin (Justine) Rempel, Lindsay (Kevin) Bouchard, Rebecca (Jake) Harder, Rose (Herman) Rempel, and Sharon Rempel, and 33 great-grandchildren.
A private funeral service was held with burial at the Hochstadt Cemetery.
On behalf of the family, we would like to say a big thank you to the staff at Salem Home for the great care of Mom received. Thank you also to Wiebe Funeral Home of Altona.
