Kathy Wiebe (nee Klassen) was born in Georgsthal, Southern Russia on June 23, 1925; a year later her family moved to Canada and in 1942 they moved to a farm near Rivers. Kathy left the district in 1943 but returned nine years later with a husband (Abe, deceased 2008) and two children (Dennis and Shirley). The years 1952-54 were spent living in Oak River and in August 1954 they moved to Rivers, where Kathy remained until 2011 when failing health necessitated a move to Onanole to live with her third and last child, Janey Brown. In July of this year Kathy was able to move back “home” when a suite was available in Riverdale Personal Care Home in Rivers.
