She died at Betel Home Foundation in Selkirk, Manitoba. She was predeceased by her husband Carl in 2002, her parents Robert and Frances Piec, and her six siblings. She is survived by five children: Fr. Carl, Patrick (Brenda), Mary (Terry) Whitwell, Frances Hallson, and Eugene (Elizabeth); seven grandchildren: Philip (Sheila), Paula (Jason) Sowany, Janelle, Heather (Chris) Pakkala, Denise (Clint) Bishop, David (Jennifer), and Michelle (Tyler) Zitting; ten great-grandchildren; one sister-in-law, Anita Tarnopolski and numerous nephews and nieces. Anna was born in Fish Creek, Saskatchewan in 1929, the only member of her family - recently arrived from Poland - to be born in Canada. In 1944, she and her parents moved to Windsor, Ontario, where in 1946 she met and married the man to whom she gave her heart and life, Carl Tarnopolski. In 1948, the family moved to East Selkirk, Manitoba, where Anna resided until being forced by illness to take up residence at Betel Home in Selkirk in 2009. Since 1948, Anna was a faithful member of St. Stanislaus Parish in East Selkirk, and was recently awarded her 40 year pin as a member of the Catholic Women's League of Canada. In 1953, she began her career as a psychiatric nursing assistant at the Selkirk Mental Health Centre, at a time when it was not customary for rural women to be working outside the home.

Baba, I love you and will miss you forever. I will miss playing with your hair, and the funny yet direct way you would tell me I had "Zits". I'm sure from now on whenever I get a pimple, I will giggle a bit and think of you. At Christmas time, I will sing softly the one polish song I know, just for you and Gigi. "Ge Shi Betlehem". I'm sure I spelled that wrong!! Anyway, just like the book says "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my Baba you'll be." - Posted by: Heather Pakkala (grandaughter) on: Feb 01, 2014
