On Friday, January 17, we said goodbye to Jessie Steinwand - wife, mom, grandma, great grandma, sister and friend.

Justine (Martens) Steinwand was born on March 11, 1936, in Herbert Saskatchewan, the oldest of 9 children and grew up in the Herbert/Main Centre/ Gouldtown area.  She moved to Alberta when she married Rudy Steinwand and they farmed together in the Holden area until they retired to Camrose in 2001.

Her memory will live on in her children, Valerie (Jerry) Boettger, Dennis (Jacquie), Darlene (Don) Klumpp, Gerald (Marla), son-in-law Dallas Upton, 11 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren, numerous family members and friends.  She was predeceased by her husband, Rudy and daughter Lynnette Upton.

Mom’s gift was hospitality, and her door was open to all she knew, whether you were family, friend or neighbour.  The coffee pot was always on and many times there was good home baking to go along with the coffee.

Mom was also a strong woman of faith, and lived her faith quietly and faithfully.  She was a prayer warrior and daily prayed for her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, family, friends and neighbours, and her prayers will be missed.

Mom, you have traded your earthly body along with the pain and sorrow of this world, for a new heavenly body free from the cares of this life.  We will miss you, but we know that we will see you again and spend eternity with you.

Love you forever.

A funeral service will be held at 2:00 p.m., Saturday, January 25, 2025 at Rose City Baptist Church, Camrose, AB. Interment will follow at the Camrose Valleyview Cemetery.

Memorial donations may be made to Tribal Trails or to the Salvation Army.
