'']] Mary Elizabeth Kolb Derstine: teacher, pastor’s wife; b. 11 August 1901 on her grandparents’ farm near [[Breslau (Ontario, Canada)|Breslau]], [[Ontario (Canada)|Ontario]], [[Canada|Canada]] to parents Elias Kolb (3 March 1865-8 July 1848) and Lucinda (Betzner) Kolb (5 September 1865-18 September 1937). Mary was an only child. On 5 July 1927 she married bishop and evangelist [[Derstine, Clayton Freed (1891-1967)|Clayton F. Derstine]] of [[Kitchener-Waterloo (Ontario, Canada)|Kitchener]] and became an instant mother to his three daughters. The couple had four children together. Mary died 11 March 1971 in Kitchener.<br />
<br />
Although born in Ontario, Mary grew up on the [[Saskatchewan (Canada)|Saskatchewan]] prairie, where her parents went to homestead in 1904. There she learned to handle horses and guns. By the time that drought forced her family to return to Ontario, Mary was a schoolteacher in her early 20s—an attractive, lively young woman. This was a time of controversy at [[First Mennonite Church (Kitchener, Ontario, Canada)|First Mennonite Church]] in Kitchener. The issue was whether to make it compulsory for women to wear the bonnet. Due to this controversy, a group of people left to form the [[Stirling Ave. Mennonite Church (Kitchener, Ontario, Canada)|Stirling Avenue Mennonite Church]]. In the midst of this turmoil, Mary made a commitment to Christ and chose to worship at First Mennonite Church, where a woman’s commitment was defined by a strict dress code. She was baptized there in 1925 by her pastor, C. F. Derstine, whose wife died a few months later. C. F. and Mary were married in July 1927.<br />
<br />
A gracious and dignified pastor’s wife, Mary allowed no gossip, either at home or at church. She was a role model to other women in her cheerful acceptance of plain clothing. She participated in the women’s groups at First Mennonite, directed a women’s singing group and led a huge children’s choir during summer Bible School. However, Mary made her greatest impact on the women and girls of her congregation as a Sunday School teacher. She wrote an article for the Mennonite paper, [[Christian Monitor (Periodical)|&lt;em&gt;Christian Monitor&lt;/em&gt;]], on the qualities of a good teacher and taught a Bible study to the end of her life. Over the years, she served as a spiritual mentor to many women at First Mennonite.<br />
