Elizabeth Mandel

Elizabeth passed away on August 20, 2010 in Brooks, Alberta. She was born at Raley, AB in 1924, daughter of Rev. David and Rachel (Walter) Hofer.

On confession of her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; Elizabeth was baptised on March/1947; and the same year exchanged wedding vows with her life partner, Peter Jacob Mandel, on June 22/1947.

A couple of years later they moved to and resided in Pincher Creek area; at Brocket Colony; working hard but enjoying the farm life. Her children and grandchildren were her life; insisting to consult with them daily. When God took her husband unto Himself, on January 13/2001; her days were empty to the core. With spiralling health issues; Orchard Manor of Brooks, became her new home; (and most recently Sunrise Gardens) where loving care was always evident. What a Blessed reunion she is experiencing g with God in Heaven; also her husband, and family members and friends!

Elizabeth was predeceased by her parents, David and Rachel; and siblings-Jacob, Rachel, Annie, Mary, Barbara, Kay, David, Walter, and infants Rebecca and George and son-in-law Lloyd Hofer.
