Leonard George Tyerman

December 6, 1930 - March 31, 2023

Len Tyerman passed away peacefully on March 31st. He was a man who wore many different hats, a husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather. His early years were spent in the Kelwood area, he was the oldest son of Fletcher and Mary Tyerman, brother to Effie, Elda, Roger, Ron and Bryan.

Growing up he was interested in gardening and had a top 4-H garden, winning him a trip to Ottawa but due the polio epidemic he was unable to fulfill his dream of going. He was an avid curler, curling in the high school provincials, losing out in the final game in Winnipeg but won the Ressor Event in Brandon.

As an adult he was an active member in the Boy Scouts of Canada in Killarney and Plumas. He coached ball and minor hockey. As he aged, he became an avid supporter of his kids, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, as they were involved in various activities.

He taught school for a total of 25 years in Winnipeg, Killarney, McCreary and finally Plumas. He met and married Gwen Dear of Arden. They both taught in Plumas, where Gwen still lives. They raised three children Gayle (Arnold) Hogg of Brandon, Shannon Yandeau of Plumas and Garth Tyerman of Ft St. John. Grandchildren: Matt (Casey), Ryan, Chelsey (Chris), Zac (Leah), Parker and Kylee (Sean). Great Grandchildren: Cassandra, Keeran, Liam, Tristen, Tyson, KC, Everett, Jemma, Gunner, and Wyatt.

Len was involved in many organizations over the years, President of the Sports Com. and Plumas Curling Club, where he curled until his health prevented him from doing so. He was an avid bowler and bowled in the Western Canadians. A member of the Plumas United Church and the Plumas Seniors Club. He spent many hours at the seniors club after retirement, competing in senior sports. Charter member and President of the Plumas Lions Club, where he received the Melvin Jones Fellowship Award for outstanding dedication and Humanitarian service.

Every May through August Len worked for Barkers of Brandon as an insurance broker, field man and a chief hail adjuster. When he wasn't working he was honing his golf game. He loved a good game of golf and took every opportunity to take in a round. Even after the accident, he enjoyed the game. Gardening was a favorite pastime, often being the first to have peas in the ground. He shared the love of working in the dirt with all three of his children. Camping was also an activity he enjoyed, he made friends at every campground. Otter Lake and the wonderful spot by the water was a welcome getaway. Many memories made around the fire, in the canoe or sitting on the deck. A life well lived.

Predeceased by his parents Fletcher and Mary, his brothers Bryan and Roger, Sister Elda, In-laws Teddy and Lydia Dear, and brother-in-law Bill and his wife Louise.

The family would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. G. Ong, Neepawa and Gladstone Hospitals, the staff at TCM for their compassion, friendship, care and concern over the past three years.

In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Plumas United Church - Box 67 204, Anderson St. Plumas MB, R0J 1P0 / Manitoba Brain Injury Association - Sherbrook St., Winnipeg MB R3A 1M5

Sarah Clauss (nee Strohman)

Sarah Clauss (nee Strohman), of Neepawa Manitoba, passed away on March 26th, 2023. While 80 years of age, her death was sudden and unexpected.

Sarah was a bold and industrious woman, bursting with curiosity and a thirst for adventure. She was determined. Once she set her mind to something, she seldom could be deterred, save with two exceptions: her faith and devotion to Jehovah and her love for her husband, Norman Clauss (predeceased). Sarah was not one to sit still, and she truly took charge of defining her reality.

Born on September 4th, 1942 to Raymond and Mary Strohman, Sarah was one of five children (siblings: Barrie, George, Jean and Rosemary). She grew up on the family farm in Brookdale, Manitoba where she received most of her education, graduating from Neepawa Collegiate. Later, Sarah moved to Winnipeg and graduated from Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology with a secretarial degree. After beginning her career, Sarah later moved to Saskatoon where she met and fell in love with Norman. They were married on May 14, 1966, and later began their married life together serving in the ministry in Rosetown, SK. Later they took up the missionary work in West Africa, where they served for over five years. Sarah truly loved this time in their lives, as it represented a perfect balance of what moved her heart. She would, decades later, continue to share her experiences in Africa with anyone she met.

After the missionary work, Sarah and Norman returned to Canada, residing in Neepawa, Brookdale and Carberry areas over the years. They continued to travel when they could, including frequent excursions to Mexico. Sarah loved the arts. Wherever she lived, her home was always filled with beautiful art and music. Whenever she had the chance to enjoy a live performance, she would seize the opportunity with great enthusiasm.

If you had an opportunity to meet Sarah, you would likely remember her. She was generous and giving, sharing with everyone she came across. Sometimes she would share a quiet word of support, advice or admonishment and other times she would share a neatly wrapped and discretely given bit of jewelry, as her sisters, nieces and family well know.

Sarah left this life as she lived it. It brings her family some comfort in knowing that Sarah's final moments were likely preparing to attend one of the things that gave her the most pleasure, gathering with her brothers and sisters at the local Kingdom Hall of Jehovah Witnesses. While her husband has already passed, and she did not have any children, her death leaves an empty space in the lives of her family and those who knew her well.

Sarah was predeceased by her husband Norman Clauss, her brothers Barrie Strohman, and George Strohman and sister Jean McAllister. She is survived by her sister Rosemary (Patrick) Hanratty of Surrey, BC, sister-in-law Gabriele (Gary) Lobinsoff of Victoria, BC, sister-in-law, Joyce Strohman of Neepawa, cousins Wilma (Erwin) Sawatsky, Peggy Jones, Robert (Jennifer) Fleming. Sarah will also be missed by her nieces and nephews Natalie, Michelle, Corrine, Nigel, Laura, Jeffrey, Katherine, Jennipher, and Rebecca along with their 16 children.

Theodore Grant Hoehn

November 23, 1944 - April 8, 2023

It is with great sorrow, the family of Ted announces his passing. Ted is survived by his devoted wife Odelia; his children Shelly, Jeannie, Chantelle, and Durand; and his grandchildren Kirsten, Brooke, Thor, Cora, and Nya. Ted grew up in the Waldersee, Grass River area of Manitoba.

Ted’s adventurous spirit started as a teenager when he left the farm to start working. Over the years he worked in mining and construction in many northern and remote communities including Flin Flon, Thompson, Snow Lake, Churchill, Stewart and Galore Creek. Ted settled on the farm after marrying Odelia and continued to mine over the winter for many years.

Ted loved the outdoors, enjoying fishing, hunting, mountain hiking, and camping with his family. He enjoyed big family gatherings and could always be found sitting at the card table. He had a good sense of humour and loved sharing stories and telling jokes.

Ted developed a love for travelling in his later years. He travelled to Texas, Arizona, Uta, Cuba, Morocco, China, South America, and many other places. He spent many winters in Osoyoos, BC, yet he liked coming back to the farm and his weekly coffee outings in Glenella. The family expresses deep gratitude to all the doctors, nurses, and health care providers who provided exceptional care.

It was Ted’s wishes to be cremated and have no memorial service. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a charity of your choice.
