Marie Quiring of Winnipeg passed away Feb. 11, after a prolonged illness. Born
the youngest of a large family, she grew up on a farm near Hepburn, Sask. Her
outlook on life was forged by hard work, hard times and a strong faith in God.
These enabled her to overcome obstacles through effort and a unique sense of
humour. She married John Quiring Oct. 15, 1944. They farmed 4 years in
Saskatchewan and 5 years in Ontario, then spent 4 years in Winnipeg while John
prepared for the ministry. She was a major source of encouragement to John as he
pastored churches, first for 2 years in Aberdeen, Sask., then for 6 years in
Portage la Prairie, Man. They settled in Winnipeg in 1965. In 1967 she began a
16-year career in health care, working as an aide and activity assistant at Park
Manor and Bethania Nursing Homes. She lovingly supported her children,
sacrificed her own needs for others, was practical and thrifty and had a desire
to serve others, whether feeding dinner guests at home or caring for nursing
home residents. She enjoyed fellowship at Elmwood MB Church in Winnipeg. During
her last 5 years of declining health, John and others cared for her at home.
Predeceased by all 14 brothers and sisters, she is mourned by John; son Ken;
daughter Myrna Klassen; and 5 grandchildren. The funeral was Feb. 15 in Elmwood
MB Church, with Keith Poysti and Jake Pauls ministering.
