Obituary

Peter H. Froese, 78 of Steinbach MB., passed away peacefully surrounded by family, on Thursday, May 22, 2025, at Bethesda Regional Health Centre, Steinbach, MB.

He is survived by his beloved wife Aganetha, children Artur (Adina), Helmine (Jacob). Anton (Marisa), Edward (Marzelline), and Reinhold (Elfriede). Mouring his passing are also their 12 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. He is also survived by one brother, his wife and one sister. Peter also leaves behind six brothers-in-law and seven sisters-in-law.

Growing up in Paraguay created many challenges for Peter and his family. They immigrated to Canada in the early 80’s as a young family. Life in Canada started on the farm but was soon moved to the city of Winnipeg once Peter received his immigration papers. Life would take them back and forth between Paraguay and Canada a few times before they settled in Steinbach where they retired. Peter spent his last working years at Barkman Concrete in the maintenance shop. Peter was known for his dedicated and hard work.

Peter and Aganetha were married for 57 years, minus 2 months.

The funeral service will be held on Friday, May 30, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. at the Peace River Gospel Church, 32107 McKenzie Ave., Steinbach, MB., with viewing one hour prior to the service. Interment will follow at the Mitchell Memorial Gardens, Mitchell, MB.

Special thanks go out to our mom, the Bethesda Hospital staff as well as to family and friends for their support during this time of grief. He will be missed.
