ANNE TRIETHART After a lengthy illness Anne Triethart (nee Zimmer), devoted mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully on Sunday, April 8, 2018 at the age of 91. Left to mourn her loss are her daughters, Nancy Dykstra and Betty-Jean Moyer (Michael); her three grandchildren, Kristin Sarlas (Angelo), Kevin Klyne and Jacqueline Dykstra; and her two great-grandchildren, Sebastian and Violet Sarlas. Also remaining to cherish her memory are her siblings Alma Zamzow and Alfred Zimmer, as well as many nieces, nephews, and close friends. She was predeceased by her husband Jack in 1985; her brothers Emil and Joe; and sisters Elizabeth, Martha, Margaret and Bertha. Anne was born on November 12, 1926, in the Rural Municipality of Bolton, Manitoba, to Albert and Maria Zimmer. Anne was the seventh of nine children. In 1946, Anne moved from her parent's farm to Winnipeg, where she worked as a nanny and later as a prep cook in the kitchen of a downtown businessmen's club. In January of 1952, she met her husband Jack Triethart and they were married on December 6 of that year at City Hall. The newly married couple settled in the St. James neighbourhood of Winnipeg, where they raised their two daughters. Anne found pleasure in spending time in her yard tending to her flower and vegetable gardens, visiting with friends, reading books and doing "brain games", babysitting her grandchildren, and attending regular faith-based meetings and conventions. Anne had a gift with children, which she likened to the fact that she was really a "child at heart". Most important to Anne were her family, her friends, and her faith. She will be remembered most profoundly for her devotion to others. Anne had an open door policy for her extended family and her friends - a place where they could stay at any time, and have a home-cooked meal. Anne will also be remembered for her sharp wit and keen sense of humour, her love of story telling, her silly jokes, and the impromptu history lessons of her life growing up on the farm. Anne left behind a legacy of caring for others, unconditional love, and beautiful narratives of her memories with her beloved Jack, which her family and grandchildren will cherish always. A service honouring Anne's life will be held on Saturday, April 14 at 10:00 a.m. at Chapel Lawn Funeral Home, 4000 Portage Avenue in Winnipeg, MB. Cremation has taken place. In lieu of flowers, should friends desire, donations can be made in Anne's memory to CancerCare Manitoba or to the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba. Her daughters would like to thank everyone for their support and well wishes during their mom's illness, as well as the care she received by the wonderful staff at Golden Links Lodge.

Condolences & Memories (4 entries)

  • Our hearts go out to Nancy and Betty Jean at the loss of their mother. Anne (& Jack when he was alive) cared for our three children over many years of their lives. They all remember “Anna Banana” with great fondness. Both Anne & Jack were so much more than child minders to our family. They cared for our children like they were their grandparents. We still have the chair that Jack re-finished and re- upolstered for us. Anne was a wonderful lady who touched many hearts and moulded many young lives for good in her time on earth. You will miss her very much. It was a joy and a priveledge to have spent time with her. Thank you for sharing your mother with us.

  • Shirley told me of your Mom’s passing. Although I have not seen her for many, many years I still have fond memories. Shortly after meeting Uncle Jack and while she was working at the Manitoba Club she took me, as barely a teenager, to lunch and a movie. This was a real treat in those days. While I was doing my nursing as a student at the former Winnipeg General Hospital she always made me welcome when I walked over to your home. I feel blessed to have known her. May God comfort you and your families at this time. Cherish the memories. Tom and Joan Beggs - Posted by: Joan Triethart Beggs (Niece) on: Apr 20, 2018

  • Nancy - Marian and I were so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom. We know she held a special place in your heart. Having been there with the loss of a mother, we fully know how difficult a time this must be. Take comfort in knowing that you are in the thoughts and prayers of others. We hope you find some comfort in knowing that the spirit of your Mother will live on with you through each and every day. May God be with you.
