To this union were born six children. Two died in infancy. There remain, his beloved companion, 4 daughters (Elvina, Magdalena, Salena, and Edna), his aged parents who live in Pennsylvania, 4 brothers and 2 sisters -- Sidney, Leah (Mrs. Jacob Brubaker), Lovina (Mrs. Elam Martin), Elias, and John of Pennsylvania; and Menno of Alberta, also an uncle, 2 aunts, and many cousins and other relatives. He was a kind husband and father, well liked in the community. He was ailing for over a year, so that he could not do much work. He consulted several doctors, but it seemed they could not do much for him. Later they took X-ray pictures and found he had enlargement of the heart, Bright's disease, and cancer of the stomach. He grew weaker as time passed. About the first of October he took his bed, and the last four weeks failed rapidly. He bore his affliction patiently, never complaining. His desire was to go to Jesus. It was hard to part, but God's ways are not our ways. The funeral was held Nov. 1 -- brief services at the house conducted by Jesse Bauman, with further services at the Mennonite Church near Elmira by Jesse Bauman and Urias Martin. Texts, Phil. 1 and I Cor. 1: 18. Burial in adjoining cemetery.

LIFETIMES: From Old Order Mennonite to nursing instructor, Cindy Bolger broke a lot of moulds
Lucinda (Cindy) Bolger of Waterloo, born: Sept. 25, 1921, in Yatton, Ont., died: Dec. 6, 2017, of age-related illness

Cindy Martin was only 12 years old when she left home to work as a mother's helper, where the jobs usually entailed assisting a pregnant mother around the time of birth. These were all temporary positions and it would soon be time to move on, a total of 40 different households before something stirred in Cindy, something that made her decide to make more of her life.

Born the eldest of six into an Old Order Mennonite family in Yatton, in rural Waterloo near Elmira, expectations for the child were limited by her upbringing.

Cindy wrote in her memoir how her parents thought she might possibly complete Grade 8 but they knew with certainly she would end up being a "submissive wife" with a whole passel of kids.

Cindy had seen her fair share of Mennonite women on the farm, working hard, raising families. She was having none of it and surprisingly, her parents supported their head strong, determined daughter. Cindy would eventually become a nurse and nursing instructor as well as a bit of a mother hen to dozens of student nurses at what was then called Kitchener-Waterloo Hospital School of Nursing.

Cindy's rise to this position came after years of struggle.

In his eulogy, oldest son Jim Bolger recalled how his mother's early days were shadowed by extreme poverty.

"Many would describe her family as 'poor Nelson Martin's family' often dependent on others for food and money," he said.....

Obituary
Woolner, Elvina - July 15, 1925 - January 16, 2021

Elvina Woolner (nee Martin) completed her earthly journey after a short battle with COVID-19 at the age of 95. She was predeceased by her husband Leonard, son Jerry, and siblings Cindy, Urias, Maryann, Nelson, and Abner. She will be deeply missed by her three daughters Sharon (Larry), Marlene (Dave), and Gloria (Steve); 7 grandchildren Laura, Kathryn, Jackie, Joanna, Adam, Jessica, and Becky; and 12 great-grandchildren Caleb, Brenna, Halle, Clayton, Yuna, Elora, Ara, Isaiah, Jia, Jadon, Alex, and Jessica's soon-to-be born baby. She is also survived by her sisters-in-law, Vera and Ann, and many beloved nieces and nephews. Elvina cherished her relationships with her many dear friends and neighbours who appreciated her spirited wit, caring heart, generous hospitality, and memorable meals. Many hours were spent reminiscing about life on the farm and sharing her joy of gardening. Elvina was an avid scrabble player and jumble scrambler and was rarely seen without a book in her hand. Every evening at 7:30 you could find her watching Jeopardy. She enjoyed music and singing and always loved when her grandchildren and great-grandchildren sang her favourite songs like Suppertime, I Come to the Garden Alone, and Sleep My Child. Elvina was an active member at First Mennonite Church in Kitchener and later attended Bethany Community Church in St. Catharines. Her enduring faith in God sustained her through challenging times. She leaves a legacy of faith for us to carry on.
The family would like to express their gratitude to all the staff at Tabor Manor in St. Catharines who loved and cared for Elvina. Thank you for your exceptional care, compassion, and expert knowledge.

Memorial celebrations will be held in the future when family and friends can gather. Donations in Elvina's memory can be made to a charity of your choice. Your memories of Elvina and expressions of condolence can be sent to: elvina.woolner@gmail.com

Notes:

On a weekly basis, I have been Zoom chatting with my grandmother. Along with any family members who could join in the call, I have been asking her questions about her life.

In the spirit of Valentine's Day this week, I asked her about the dating years with my grandfather, Noah. In short, it was over a 4 year period and he would visit her at her parents farm or whatever home she was at as a "househand" earning money. (She is Mennonite) They got married when his stepmom was getting married herself and Noah needed a woman to care for him. My grandmother moved into her empty in-laws home after the wedding. She told us her summer honeymoon was spend in the pea patch that was planted by her step-mother-in-law during the spring.

Obituary of Wilbur Alexander Lichty

Peacefully passed away on Sunday, July 18, 2021 at John Noble Home, Brantford, at the age of 95.

Wil was born on September 21, 1925 and was the beloved husband and best friend of Verlin Irene (Cope) Lichty. They were married September 6, 1950, and lived near or in Elmira until September 2018, when they moved to Waterloo.

Loving and wonderful father to Lisa Anne Lichty Klaehn. Proud Gramp to Donald Scott Klaehn, his wife Loralie and their twin daughters Evie Marie and Madison Esme; Nathan Thomas Klaehn, his wife Samantha Cavanagh and their daughter Amelia (Millie) Jayne Cavanagh; and granddaughter Alissa Leigh Klaehn.

Wil joined the Royal Canadian Engineers at the age of 16. He was a dispatch rider during WWII riding a Harley in England and a 'Snortin' Norton' in Europe. He was wounded in Elbeuf, France near Boulogne, and spent a year in Purley, England for rehabilitation, exploring small English towns with train trips on leaves, making friends everywhere.

Wil was the co-owner of Elmira Insurance Agency Limited, having joined with Fred C. Forwell in 1948, and sold Elmira Insurance Brokers in 2012. He took on leadership positions in the Junior Chamber of Commerce (Jaycees), locally, provincially, and nationally. Wil was involved with the Court of Revision - Waterloo County, was President of Waterloo Insurance Brokers, and Director of Ontario Insurance Brokers. He was a member of the Elmira Town Council for two years, and treasurer of the Elmira Fairboard Association for 22 years (later Elmira Raceway). He was active in the Lions Club and Masonic Lodge, and a member of the Drumbo hunt club.

He enjoyed many fishing trips, and travelled the world with Verlin, returning to England several times. He took pride in their home in the country, always busy to keep it in top shape. He loved riding his motorcycle and trail rides on his snowmobile - and had endless patience to dig young snowmobile riders out of drifts when they got stuck, and to shovel the pond for skating. He was a gracious host, had a quick wit and enjoyment of wordplay, an avid reader, taught Lisa and the grandkids to play cribbage (and sometimes they would win). He enjoyed theatre and the KW Symphony, movies, and playing bridge with friends.

He is survived by his sisters-in-law Donna June Cope Lindsay and Emma Buehler Cope Dundon. Also survived by Emma's children, Warren Cope, his wife Stacy and their children Melina, Colin, Shelby and Hayley; Stewart Douglas Cope and his wife Brenda and their children Melissa (Cody McDonald) and Clifton Andrew; Donna Louise Cope Herteis and Jeff Herteis and their children Valerie, Rachel and Steven.

Predeceased by parents Harvey Lichty (1927) and Salome Roth Lichty (1971) and by his sisters Beatrice (1938), and Edith Turnball (Matthew) (2011); and brothers-in-law Clifton Reginald Cope (1983) and Rowland Angus Lindsay (1996).

At Wil's request, cremation has taken place. In lieu of flowers, donations to Doctors Without Borders or Mennonite Central Committee would be appreciated as expressions of sympathy, and can be made through the Dreisinger Funeral Home, Elmira.
