Helga Hamm died May 22, 2011. She was born Jan. 21, 1938 in Osborne, Man. to Jacob and Anna Pauls. Helga accepted Jesus as Saviour and was baptized as a teen into Domain (Man.) MB Church. Her favourite verses were Proverbs 3:5–6. She attended Winkler Bible Institute, where she met Edward Hamm. They married June 11, 1960. Helga faithfully supported her husband during his studies and 43 years of pastoral ministry. During his 14 years of chaplaincy at Meadowood Manor, volunteering as pianist and assistant for programming sing-alongs gave her much pleasure. Helga sang in ladies ensembles in Main Centre, Sask.; at MB Biblical Seminary, Fresno, Cal.; Central Community Church, Chilliwack, B.C.; and Morrow Gospel Church, Winnipeg. Helga had a genuine love for people, befriending newcomers and long-time church members alike. Her sense of humour and interest in others encouraged everyone. Predeceased by 1 sister, Helga is mourned by Ed; children Beryl, Murray (Joanne); 2 granddaughters; 4 siblings.
