Obituary For Nelson Victor Senft
We are grieved to share the news that Nelson Senft has suddenly passed away. He went to be with the Father on Monday, July 7, 2025.
Nelson is survived by his loving wife, Margaret Senft, and his children, Hannah (Caleb) Semenyna and Ben (Heidi) Senft. His grandchildren, Josie Semenyna, Seth Semenyna and Charis Senft, will miss him too.
Nelson was born in 1964 in Fort Qu’Appelle, Saskatchewan, to parents Victor and Eileen Senft. He had four older siblings: Ruth, Clifford, Dennis, and Donna. He was predeceased by his parents and Clifford Senft, and survived by Ruth (Norman) Porter, Dennis (Trudy) Senft, Donna (Wayne) Roeder, and sister-in-law Kathryn Senft. He is also survived by Margaret’s siblings, Elmer (Cathy) Enns, John (Louise) Enns, and Irene (Dave) Weiseth, and many nieces and nephews on both Senft and Enns sides. Nelson had been the pastor of La Glace Bible Fellowship Church for 29 years, a calling which he loved. The people are feeling the loss deeply, for they have lost their earthly shepherd.
Nelson got much joy from restoring his 1964 Chevy truck (“Old School”) and his John Deere 4010, reading books about 20th century history, and spending time with his family. The Lord blessed him with quiet compassion, a quick wit, a smooth singing voice, and a strong mind. We will miss his love and leadership in family and church, as well as his heart for God.
The funeral service will be held at the Grande Prairie Alliance Church (15502 102 St) at 2:00 pm on Monday, July 21, 2025.

The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;
you hold my lot.
The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
You make known to me the path of life;
in your presence there is fullness of joy;
at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Psalm 16:5-6,11
