Eden's Funeral Home
Judith Dyck (nee Martens) was born the third daughter of Jacob and Anna Martens in Rosthern, Sask on May 15, 1922. After the death of her father and the remarriage of her mother, the family moved to the Lower Mainland of BC, when she was a young child.
She went to work in Vancouver as a nanny and housekeeper in her early teens and often spoke of the many good friends she made during that time. One of those friends, Kate Goertz, introduced her to a handsome cousin from Alberta, who won her heart and married her within a few months.
She moved to Coaldale with her new husband, Henry Dyck, and was soon plunged into the life of farming with a large new family. They farmed in Coaldale until 1949 when they moved to a farm in the Chipman Creek district of Pincher Creek. There they farmed, joined into the community activities and were very active members of the Springridge Mennonite Church.
In 1976 they retired from farming, moving to the town of Pincher Creek. They were both still driving school bus at that time. Many in Pincher still remember riding Mrs. Dyck's bus. Others knew her as Grandma Dyck and some even called her Mommy Dyck. In town, mom spent many happy hours quilting, working in the hospital tuck shop, looking after and spending time with grandchildren, fishing with dad, playing cards with family and friends, bowling, and spending time with her church family.
Mom was pre-deceased by her parents, 3 sisters and 2 brothers, as well as her husband Henry, her infant son Henry, and her son-in-law Jake Janzen. Also, by numerous other in-laws from both sides of the family.
She is survived by one half-brother, Peter Vonniessen, two brothers-in-law, Nick and Abe Dyck, one sister-in-law, Laura Vonniessen, four sons, John (Petra), Nick (June), Gordon, Fred (Anne), one daughter, Beverly Janzen, 12 grandchildren with spouses, 20 great-grandchildren and 2 soon to be born, as well as many nieces and nephews.
Mom went to meet her Lord on May 12, 2015, just 3 days short of her 93rd birthday. She will be missed and not forgotten by all who knew and loved her. Her life was full and blessed and she would tell you so. Rest in peace mom, we love you.
