It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Alfred Penner who went to his heavenly home after a short illness. During this time, he was continually surrounded by his wife, children and grandchildren. Alfred’s strong faith and deep love and devotion to his wife and family left a legacy that will live on forever. We will miss his love, wisdom and strength.

Alfred was predeceased by his parents Katherina and Johanne Penner; sister, Marie Murray; and brothers-in-law, Henry Kroeger and Bill Murray. Alfred was born and raised in Osler, SK.
