My friend Anne and I met at Women’s Aglow Bible studies with Ethel Beck in the 80’s. We shared our interests as nurses too. We made an annual trip to The Forks to watch fireworks at New Years and Canada Day. Then we’d walk back to EK. Great memories! - Posted by: Susan Popkes (Friend) on: Jan 29, 2025

We are saddened to hear of our beloved aunt’s passing. Aunt Anne was always included in our family gatherings where she would share with us stories of her worldly travels. She was always very loving toward us. Anne and Kate were like two peas in a pod experiencing life together to the fullest. A life well lived! Rest In Peace lovely lady.❤️ - Posted by: Paul and Heinrich Kehler and Sandy (Nephews) on: Jan 25, 2025
