    Notes:

    TOMAN, Reta Reta was received into the loving arms of her Saviour on March 21, 2015 to be reunited with her husband Frank (2002), father Orval Coleman (1990), mother Myrtle Bretz (1977), sister Muriel (1921), and brother Lincoln (1995). Loving mother of Gloria Kloetstra (Ray) of Manitoulin Island, Evelyn Russell (Bruce) of Cambridge, Gord (Jennifer) of New Hamburg and Wanda Wilgress (Jim) of Waterloo. Cherished grandma of Chris (Erica), Nathan (Andrea), Gina (Joel), Jaime (Andrew), Samantha (James), Jenelle (Chris), Aaron, Daniel, Rachel, Faith, James, Micah and Jonathan. Dear great-grandmother to Linda, Maggie, Noah, Daniella, Robert, Gideon, Paityn and Kiara. And, loving sister of Miriam Pfohl and Erma Otterbein. Reta was born in New Dundee on January 15, 1928, and attended New Dundee Public and Continuation School before going to Kitchener Collegiate Institute and Stratford Normal School. She taught at S.S.#9, Lower Tenth, S.S.#7, Washington in Blenheim Township, and S.S.#6 Green's School in Wilmot Township, which were all one-room country schools. After her marriage, she continued teaching part-time and volunteered as an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher for a number of years. In her later years, she helped home-school some of her grandchildren. Together with her husband Frank, they founded a plumbing and electric business in 1952, where she assisted in the office until their retirement in 1998. She was also a founding member of Wilmot Senior's Woodworking and Craft Shop where she was Treasurer for 15 years. A member of Bethel Evangelical Missionary Church for 78 years, Reta used her God-given talents as treasurer, Sunday School teacher, pianist, organist, prayer and Bible Study group leader, as well as a Women's Ministry participant. She was also influential in setting up the church's archive system. Her circle of friends also included many International students from the local universities who were entertained in their home in the 1970s, many of whom she maintained contact. Because of this, they often travelled to visit these students in countries such as Liberia, Egypt, India, Mexico, Taiwan and countries in between. As a lasting legacy, and because of an interest in genealogy, she complied a family history in 2007 and a church history in 2008. She also enjoyed hiking, reading, sewing and quilting. Visitation was held at Bethel Missionary Church, 1531 Bridge St., New Dundee, on Tuesday, March 24, 2015. The service was held on Wednesday, March 25, 2015 at Bethel Missionary Church. Pastor Graham Burkhart officiated. Committal service has taken place at Union Cemetery, New Dundee. As expressions of sympathy, donations can be made to "Priscilla's Children," (an orphanage in Liberia with special significance to Reta) or The Gideons.
