It is with profound sadness that the family wishes to inform of the passing of our dear Husband, Father, Papa and Great-Grandfather Abram Enns of Neepawa, Manitoba. Surrounded by family, he passed away January 25, 2021 at Neepawa General Hospital at the age of 86 years. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife Katharina of 60 years, his daughters Kelly (Mitchell), Teresa (David), and his son Brett (Kim). He was Papa to his grandchildren Kendra, Nickolas, Elizabeth (Duncan), Victoria, Colin, and Cristy. He adored his great-grandchildren: Austin, Nolan and Regan. He is survived by four brothers; Dave, John (Judy), Henry (Dianne), and Bill (Pat), and brotherin-law Don, along with many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents Frank and Maria Enns, his sister Dorothy and brother Ben and sisters-in-law Margaret and Joyce. He was born May 10, 1934 at Lowfarm, MB. He was the second born son to Frank and Maria Enns. The family moved to Arden in 1941. He grew up with five brothers and one sister on the family farm. He attended Ivanhoe School. He married Katharine Unrau June 11, 1960. They resided in Transcona and raised their family. He worked heavy equipment in construction and then as a mechanic at Neil & Watt Esso and then Munroe Husky. In 1990 he took a position at Grey Goose Bus Lines and retired from there in 1999. He and Kathy moved back to the town of Arden. He was very active in town with home repairs, blowing snow and park maintenance. He also helped out his good friend Jim Kyle at Kyle Korral Kleaning. He learned to curl when he moved to Arden. It was his passion of many years until sickness prevented him from playing. He called bingo at the Arden Hall for many years as well. He kept active for many years with the senior bowling league in Neepawa. He was a magnificent musician and played numerous instruments by ear. He entertained at all family functions and was often involved in community events where he would play his guitar and sing. He was an avid gardener and grew many of his own produce. He and Kathy moved to Neepawa in 2018 when the large Arden property became too hard to keep up. In lieu of flowers donations can be made in his name to the Lung Association or the charity of your choice.
