Mom loved volunteering or any chance she got to help someone out. Mom enjoyed her time making blankets and baking up a storm for coffee breaks for her friends and neighbours. Mom loved cooking and baking, gardening and canning, but her favourite was spending time with her family and especially her grandchildren. Mom was funny and she was kind and would do anything for anyone. She was a great listener and never judgmental. Her love was unconditional. She loved everyone and everyone loved her.
The family wishes to thank Dr Fraser, Morris Hospital staff, Dr Kroeker, Rosenort First responders, Margaret Klassen, the staff at Rosenort Housing and our community for the love and support through-out the years.
At this time when we grieve and miss her so much, we are truly blessed, knowing that she is now free. We cherish all the memories we have and those that have shared their memories of her too.
Thank you for your love, support and prayers. Mom, we are proud of you.
We love you, Bye for now.
The private graveside funeral service for Charlotte Wiens will be held at Rosenort EMC Cemetery.
Public Viewing will be held Thursday November 18th from 12pm-9pm at Morris Funeral Home.
My tribute to my sister Charlotte Henrietta Reimer Wiens
It is an honor for me to say a few words—or more about my dear sister Charlotte. She was my little sister, and I always loved her, and always tried to protect her.
She was only 8 years old when our mother died, and we had some hard years growing up, but I did my best to stick up for her and did not back down when our dad angrily confronted me.
But in spite of all this, Charlotte grew up to be a loving, cheerful person. When Helen & I got married & had babies, Charlotte was the one who knew what to do with dirty diapers – cloth diapers in those days – and she loved our babies and was most helpful.
Then she got married, had babies of her own, but still, she often babysat our kids.
We know that Charlotte had some difficult times, but after she moved to her condo, and we came to see her, she was always welcoming & warm. She was one of the most generous people I have ever known, and we never left her place without a jar of soup, a jar of pickles and canned tomatoes, and then she’d “say what else can I give you?”.
She loved her children & grandchildren so much, and prayed for them daily, and those prayers will go with you all as long as you live.
She often said, Syd don’t you dare die before me! And now she’s gone, and I guess, I’m free to go now, too!
I have lost my last sibling, my dearest sister and will always miss her, but I’m thankful for the years we had together.
Your loving brother, I love you Charlotte.
Syd.
Our love and prayers go out to you and your family at this time. ✝️🕊 I apologize this is late. Thankfully I found out about this website from Uncle Syd Reimer.
We will all miss Auntie Charlotte.I have many happy memories spending time in her home and with you guys. She always made it nice as possible for us and she was such a good baker!She kept a beautiful garden. I remember when we really flooded the sandbox. She put up with a lot of our shenanigans!😃She shared her love by blessing many people. I was personally inspired by her faith in the Lord. She read her Bible regularly and was open, kind and patient to talk about it with love. and patience.Specifically she showed grace and humility not lording over people with judgment over their faults and failures.We can truly praise God for that!Thank you Auntie Charlotte for sharing your love for the Lord with us from your heart in word and in deed.
Charlotte would also give herself to conversation giving comfort, loving advice and always ready for humor! My mom always enjoyed calling her regularly. They talked about once a week. She visited our family often and sent delicious Canadian chocolate and treats when we were apart. She cooked and baked many delicious things. I loved her buns and feranake..
Her blankets she sewed are a tangible memory of her thinking and caring for others in long hours of service. It was like receiving a lasting hug! She sewed each one with love and it showed. I felt special for myself and my babies receiving her blankets! Each designed piece she made with excellence and her own personal touch. They are truly family heirlooms.💕
Auntie Charlotte we love you! We know you are in Glory enjoying the thrill of Gods presence and your beloved family members! My mom Nita and Auntie Louise are probably roaring with laughter right now!
Love to you all from our family to yours,
Sandy (Sandra) Hogue Kopalchick

I remember when Charlotte & Louise would visit my parents, Jake & Helen Kehler. It was always a happy time when Dad visited with his cousins & Mom made a good faspa.
Our 💐 condolences!!
It is with a heavy heart hearing of Charly’s passing, Doris and I ( uncle Neil’s twins ) had such a wonderful time growing up with her and those memories have and will last forever, her struggle medically was a challenge but she never gave up, and was a blessing to everyone in her life, Rest in Peace with love forever
As a young child I would run to Reimer’s house to play with Charlotte when her nickname was Lottechjene, given to her by the older Aunts & Uncles. We always had good times there. RIP “Lottechjene”. Reuben
Deepest condolences. Charlotte was my Mom’s cousin. So many wonderful memories.
Love to all of you.
