With heavy hearts we announce the peaceful passing of Wally, after a healthy and well-lived life, at age 96 at Prairie View Lodge, Pilot Mound.

Wally was active on the family farm north of Rosenfeld until he was 75. Always a farmer at heart, he kept up on growing conditions, crop prices and yields. But his adventurous spirit pulled him off the farm as a young man, working winter jobs in Winnipeg, Toronto and Vancouver. This love of travel continued his whole life. After his marriage to Lorraine Braun, he retired to Morden. He remained a devoted member at St John Lutheran Church, Rosenfeld.

He is lovingly remembered by his wife Lorraine (of 26 years); his four daughters Cathy (Randy Wiebe), Sharon (Les Wieler), Elaine (Stuart Janke) and Denise (Len Wieler); seven grandchildren: Nicholas & Matthew; Theo (Carlie), Alyssa (Ryan Friesen), & Tim (Catharine); Jordan (Krystelle) & Regan; and seven great-grandchildren: Zachary & Myles Janke; Félix, Adèle & Rémi Wieler; Quinn Janke and Maisie Friesen; and one sister Hedy Schmidt of Vancouver. Also survived by stepsons Stuart, Lindsey and Murray Braun and their families. He was predeceased by his first wife of forty years, Ruth; brother Harold, sisters Eleanor Sommer and Martha Wonnick.

Funeral service is on Friday, October 29, 2021 at 2:00 at St John Lutheran Church, Rosenfeld. Full vaccinations and masks required.  Interment at Rosenfeld Cemetery following the service.

Viewing will be at Wiebe Funeral Home Altona on Thursday, October 28 from 2:00 - 9:00 p.m. and at the church prior to the service.

Donations in memory of Walter may be made to Canadian Foodgrains Bank.
