• Notes

  MRS. ERMA DETTWILER (nee Cressman) 1930 - 2007 Erma departed this earth, at Pinehaven Nursing home, on Wednesday, July 25, 2007. Erma was the daughter of the late Daniel W. and Magdalena Cressman. In her early teens, it was her desire to become a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ and was baptized into Christian Fellowship and remained faithful throughout her life. In 1953, Erma and Mahlon Dettwiler were united in marriage. Her life lives on, as she was a loving and devoted mother to Wesley (Janet) Dettwiler, Charlene Hudson, Debra (Arthur) Dettweiler and Andrea (Dennis) Freund. A dear grandmother to Benjamin and Deeanna Dettwiler, Kyle Hudson, Christopher and Brent Dettweiler and Autumn, Hannah and Carter Freund. Erma suffered many years with the crippling diseases of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Osteoporosis. She fought them valiantly. In December 2005, she moved to Pinehaven Nursing Home which became her new home. She was welcomed by all. Her responsibilities included putting things in their proper place and tiding up, which she did as long as she was able to walk. She never complained or asked about home. As a family, we sincerely thank Dr. Pope, the nurses, the staff and caregivers for the love and care they provided Erma. For this we are truly thankful and wish you God's abundant blessing. The family will receive friends and relatives at the Dreisinger Funeral Home in Elmira on Thursday, July 26 (today) from 7-9 p.m. and Friday, July 27 from 2-4 p.m. only. At 11 a.m. on Saturday, July 28, transfer will be made to Elmira Mennonite Church for funeral service at 1: 30 p.m. with Rev. Fred Redekop officiating. Interment will follow at St. Jacobs Mennonite Cemetery. As expressions of sympathy, donations to the Alzheimer Society, Parkinson Society Canada or Osteoporosis Canada would be appreciated by the family. The Record Newspaper 26 Jul 2007
