Siegfried Rempel

December 2, 1950 – January 14, 2026

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” —Simple Abundance by Sarah Ban Breathnach

Siegfried Rempel lived a very happy life in Freeport, Nova Scotia (summers) and Patagonia, Arizona (winters). Siegfried shared his wonderful life with his wife, Terri Schindel; Robbi Schindel, sister-in-law; Caleb Rempel, son; Joel Schindel, stepson; Jade Facie-Rempel, grandson; and extended family and friends in both Canada and the United States.

Siegfried was the recipient of a kidney from a special donor that extended his life by several years. We would like to thank all of you for your support and prayers throughout our transplant journey.

There will be no memorial.

In lieu of flowers and gifts, please donate to the Patagonia Regional Aquatic Center (PRAC) in memory of Siegfried Rempel at PRAC, P.O. Box 1052, Patagonia, AZ 85624
