The family sadly announces the peaceful passing away of Marie (nee Schmollinger) Zimmer of Roblin, MB.  Marie left this world to be with her Lord Jesus on Friday, January 2, 2015 at Roblin District Health Centre, at the age of 98 years.

Marie was united in Holy Matrimony to William Zimmer of the Shevlin District on October 19, 1939 at St. John's Lutheran Church in Shevlin. God blessed this union with three daughters.  Marie and Bill raised their family and farmed in the Shevlin District and in 1990 they retired to Roblin.
