The Funeral Service will be held at the University Drive Alliance Church, 55 Columbia Boulevard West, Lethbridge on Saturday, September 25, 2010 at 1:00 P.M. with Pastor Dave Acree officiating.
Besides her loving husband Elvin, Tina is survived by her children Andy (Sarah) Reimer of Calgary and their children Troy, Luke, Katie & Jack; Rob Reimer of Winnipeg; Amy (Trevor) Viney of Lethbridge and their children Payton, Teagan & Griffin; Dorita (Korry) Friesen of Lethbridge and their daughter Alyssa. She is also survived by four sisters Helen Kornelsen of Steinbach, Mary (Ken) Loewen of Blumenort, Elma Plett of Steinbach and Annie (Elden) Penner of Giroux; four brothers Tony Kornelsen of Steinbach, Henry (Tina) Kornelsen of Steinbach, Cornie (Linda) Kornelsen of Winnipeg and Harvey Kornelsen of Abbotsford; two sisters-in-law Darlyne Kornelsen and Adina Kornelsen both of Winnipeg as well as by numerous nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by four children Sylvia (1969), Ivy (1970), Alex (1971) and Lionel (1973); two brothers Bill Kornelsen and Alvin Kornelsen; three sisters-in-law Mary Kornelsen, Elizabeth Kornelsen, Yvonne Kornelsen and brother-in-law Stan Plett.
Tina was born April 25, 1939 in Giroux, Manitoba - the ninth of eleven children born to Annie (nee Warkentine) & George Kornelsen.
Tina met Elvin Reimer and they married in 1961. Their family quickly grew by five children; Sylvia arrived in 1963, Alex in 1964, Ivy in 1964, Lionel in 1967 and Andy in 1968. Between 1969 and 1973, Tina and Elvin lost “Four Buds in their Bouquet” when Sylvia, Ivy, Alex and Lionel were all lost to heart disease. Tina cried, but never lost hope, faith or her sense of humour. Amy arrived in 1971, Dorita in 1974 and Robert in 1977. Grandchildren began arriving in 1995.
In 1995 Tina was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease - something she knew very well after having cared for Parkinson’s patients as a home care worker and nurse. Parkinson’s took so much, but never her love for Elvin, her children, her grandchildren or her extended family. She never complained through it all.
If friends so desire, memorial tributes in Tina’s name may be made directly to the Parkinson's Society of Southern Alberta, Lethbridge Chapter Office, 1254 - 3 Avenue South, Lethbridge, Alberta T1J 0J9.
