(neé Levitsky)
November 12, 1918 – June 29, 2011
Our beloved mother passed away peacefully in Victoria, BC, where she had moved to be near family and because of her declining health in 2005.
Mom was born in Hardieville, AB the eldest of four children and was raised on a farm near Coaldale, AB, where she attended school. She was only able to finish grade 10 and then had to find employment as economic times were difficult.

Anne is survived by eight grandchildren, Mark (Nikki) Sample, Jill (Mark) Shackelford, Eric (Loreen) Winge, Heather (Mehrdad) Azim, Kate Winge, Timothy (Maegan), Daniel and Luke Holland. They were very special to her as were her three great-grandchildren, Breydan, Keene Sample and Nika Azim.
Anne is also predeceased by her husband Hugh (1981) of 41 years and infant son James (1941).
Mom was devoted to her family and placed their concerns and interests before her own. She was a strong principled, independent but fun loving woman who worked hard alongside her husband Hugh on their farm south of Lethbridge.
Also left to mourn her passing is her sister Dorothy (Rod) French of Wetaskiwin, AB; her much loved niece Margaret French of Rocky Mountain House, AB and her nephew David (Virginia) French and their daughter Julianna of North Vancouver.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at OUR LADY OF THE ASSUMPTION CATHOLIC CHURCH, 2405-12 Avenue South, Lethbridge, on Tuesday, July 26, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. A Reception will follow at the church hall, catered by the C.W.L. (of which Anne was a long time member).
