    __________________________

    Heritage Awards presented to diverse group: Honouring a time of memories-
    Alice Koch has been involved in many and varied activities during herlife - education, family, church, community and literary.


    She was born Feb. 1, 1913, the d/o Menno and Amelia (Bergey) Nahrgang, and recently celebrated her 92nd birthday at her home on the farm on Haysville Road where she was born.

    She attended Haysville Public School, SS No. 6 Wilmot, and passed her Entrance examinations at the age of 12, having completed the eight grades in 6 yrs. Her mother thought she was too young to attend high school, so kept her home for a year. For 3 yrs, starting in 1926, she attended New Hamburg Continuation School. Her fourth and last year she attended KW Collegiate, Kitchener and completed the required form five upper schoolclasses (Gr. 13) and middle school physics. Getting to the Collegiate meant walking the two miles to the train station, commuting on the regular passenger train with students from Shakespeare, New Hamburg and Baden. To return in the afternoon, she had to meet the train at 4 o'clock and ride the freight train with an old style passenger car. This was often a time-consuming ride since freight cars often had to be left atstops along the way.

    Alice began attending Stratford Normal School in Sept. 1930 to prepare for a teaching career, her long time dream. (Her mother and grandfather,David Bergey had been teachers). She started teaching in 1931, first at Rosebank, SS8 Wilmot, for one year, and then for 8 yrs at Clachan, SS No.3 North Easthope. Both schools were one-room classrooms with 8 grades,and large enrollments varying from 40-50 pupils - no small challenge for a beginning teacher.

    Family responsibilities would occupy the next several decades. On Aug.14, 1940 she married Lester Koch of Conestoga, a partner in Koch Brothers Butchers, in St. Jacobs and later Kitchener. On Dec. 31, 1942 they moved from the city house to the farm of her father. Life on the farm was busier than in the city, with a whole house, garden, lawn, flower beds,field work and chores. By 1956 there were 10 children as well as her father to manage (he lived until 1962 and died at the age of 95).

    The education of her family was always a priority. She saw to it that each child was keeping up in school, and encouraged them to go on. It is a tribute to her that all ten of her children graduated from Waterloo-Oxford District Secondary School. Most of them have pursued post-secondary education, and some graduate degrees. They are involved in education, nursing, ministry, publishing, silo-building and other agri-business.

    By the fall of 1962, all the children were attending school in public, high and university. This gave Alice time to devote to church andcommunity interests. She now was able to teach an adult Sunday School class at Biehn Mennonite church, which she continued to do until she was almost 90 yrs old, help with Summer Bible School at Blenheim Church, and attend sewing circle. She served on the Women's Missionary and Service Commission Executive Committee, including several years as president.Along with Lester she attended Haysville Home and School meetings, and later became involved with the KW Home and School organization, serving several years as president. With changes in education, Haysville Public School was closed and the building purchased by the community.

    In April 1976, she began working at 50 Kent Ave., Kitchener, two days a week as supervisor of the Mennonite Cutting Room. It stocked fabrics for quilts and crafts for the MCC Relief Sale held annually in New Hamburg,and various items needed for MCC projects. She was an employee until 1996 and then a volunteer doing the same work as before, until she retired in Oct. 2001.
    Piecing tops from an assortment of patches and quilting is a source of challenge and satisfaction that she still enjoys. Many have been given to the Mennonite Relief Sale. She also donated items to Conrad GrebelArchives and to the Archives at Castle Kilbride.

    Alice also assisted in assembling family trees for her family. Her familly and friends appreciate her contribution to their lives. In 2002 she published for their benefit, a 75 page book, 'A Time for Memories'."

    Myrtle Kathleen SNYDER

    It is with heavy hearts we announce the peaceful passing of Myrtle, on Tuesday, November 23, 2021, at Sunnyside Home, Kitchener, with family by her side. Myrtle was in her 88th year.

    Beloved wife of Vernice Snyder for over 66 years. Proud and devoted mother to Duane Snyder (Marion), Gwen Snyder and Pam Townsend. Adored grandmother of Tim (Ashley) Snyder, Scott Snyder, Jessica Kolaritsch, Chelsi (Kevin) Rego, Jason (Pam) Kolaritsch, John (Julie) Townsend, Trevor (Christy) Townsend, Tyler (Ali) Townsend. Cherished Great-Grandmother to 12. Predeceased by her husband Vernice, grandson Matthew Snyder, brother Sonny Snyder. Sadly, missed by his sister Betty Yantzi as well as several nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends.

    Born, April 5, 1933, in Baden, Wilmot Township to the late Delton and Beatrice Snyder. Myrtle was a driving force in the community life, Sunday School teacher at Shantz Mennonite Church, custom swathing for neighbours, involved in Snyder Transport, one of the first lady school bus drivers in the area (drove to age 70). She loved her Mennonite Relief Sale crepe rosettes booth, and other charities. New Hamburg Fall Fair, Queen of the Fair. Myrtle was a very busy and hardworking lady as all that knew her came to know. Myrtle also loved her holiday and family times, and we fondly remember our trips to Chesley Lake and Florida with friends and willing pranksters. As well as her motorcycle, bowling, cards, neighbourhood bonfires. Family and friends meant the world to her and we will miss her greatly.
    In keeping with her wishes, there was a private family interment in the Shantz Mennonite Church Cemetery, and there will be a "Celebration of Life" for Vernice & Myrtle Snyder together in the spring. Date and location to be announced at a later date.

    In lieu of flowers, expressions of sympathy may be made as donations to the Canadian Diabetes Association or to the Alzheimer Society of Canada through the funeral home and directly on Myrtles obituary page on the funeral home website.

    Personal condolences and donation information available at www.markjutzifuneralhomes.ca
