Obituary

Henry Voth, aged 94 years, of Grunthal, MB., passed away on Thursday, February 6, 2025, at his residence.

He is survived by Helen, his wife of 69 years, daughters Leona (Rod Parmer), Eleanor (Daryl Braun), Karen (Gerald Friesen) and son Norman (Lorraine). Also left to mourn his passing are 12 grandchildren and 28 great-grandchildren, one sister, one brother and many nieces and nephews.

Henry was predeceased by one son-in-law, John Kipe, his parents, and three siblings.

Dad was born on February 5, 1931, to Heinrich and Anna Voth (nee Klassen) in Roland, MB. He was the oldest of six children and the family provider from a young age when his father became unable to do so. This resulted in Dad not having any formal education beyond elementary school.

In the spring of 1955, Dad was baptized at the Elim Mennonite Church in Grunthal, MB. He and Mom were married on September 4 that same year. In 1958, he realized his dream of owning a farm and that’s where they raised their family. They sold the farm in 1986, and moved into Grunthal where Dad spent countless hours volunteering. In recent years he spent a lot of time at the community garden and helping the team grow corn for sale with proceeds going to the food bank. His experience of extreme poverty in his early years influenced his passion to help the marginalized. In honor of Dad, we’d like to invite you to bring a tin for the bin in support of the local food bank.

The funeral service will be held on Monday, February 17, 2025, at 11:00 a.m., at Elim Mennonite Church, Grunthal, MB., with viewing one hour prior to the service.
