LEPP: Louise Lepp (nee Neufeld), age 91 years, passed away on Wednesday, August 11, 2021 at Dinsdale Personal Care Home with family present for her last moments here on earth. Louise was born on June 10, 1930 in Niverville, Manitoba. Louise's love for music began at an early age as she helped the family hoeing sugar beets to earn enough money to buy a piano. Throughout her life playing the piano was both a comfort and a joy for her. Louise received her early education in Niverville, MB. In 1945 the family moved to the Rivers area. Here Louise worked at the Gilchrist Drugstore and later at the Brandon Mental Health Centre. As a young adult Louise was ready for adventure and travelled to BC by train to visit cousins. While in BC, Louise realized her need for salvation, and mentored by a cousin there, she committed her life to Christ. She worked on fruit farms, did housecleaning and earned enough money to pay for Bible school in Abbotsford. When she returned to Manitoba, she also attended Elim Bible School in Altona. After returning home to Rivers she met the love of her life, Peter Lepp, and they were married on August 8th, 1954. Louise was a devoted farm wife and mother of 5 children. She loved entertaining in her home and you could usually find friends and family around her kitchen table on a Sunday afternoon. Peter and Louise were very dedicated to their church and Louise was most often found at the piano playing for the choir, a quartet, or various special music selections. In her later years her grandchildren were her joy and delight. All 11 grandchildren had a special place in her heart. She encouraged them all in their activities, but especially music. She loved to attend band concerts, recitals, festivals, sporting events and motocross. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband Peter and children: Ingrid (Brian) Wilson, Robert Lepp, Dan (Ev) Lepp, Alvin (Collette) Lepp, Eileen (Randy) King, 11 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren. Louise is predeceased by 1 sister and 3 brothers and 2 great grandbabies.
