Marie Rempel was married to Justina's oldest son and Henry is another of Justina's sons and they stopped by the AM1250 Studio to help us celebrate their mother and mother-in-law, Justina Rempel who turned 108 years old on Sunday!! 

Thank you to Marie and Henry for sharing some of Justina's life story with us. Justina was just 6 years old and living in the Ukraine when World War 1 began. She lived through SO much. At age 15 they came to Manitoba and although it was a better place to be, it was still a struggle every day. 

The biggest change, which Justina recalled on her 100th Birthday was the coming of electricity to the farm. No more lanterns -- just a switch that could turn on the lights, a dial that would give instant heat to the stove and a refridgerator -- no more keeping butter cool in the well or making use of the ice house. Amazing story!! 

HAPPY 108TH BIRTHDAY JUSTINA from us all!!
