At the age of 12, Annie immigrated to Canada from Russia with her parents Frank and Katherin Dyck and siblings. They settled in Manitou, Manitoba.

Annie was a lifelong learner reading until four months before her passing. She enjoyed making meals for her family, hosting guests, interacting with people of other backgrounds, growing plants and travelling. Her faith in Christ helped her negotiate the difficulties of life. She will be missed by sons Franklin (Esther), Hermann (Mary); daughter Helena; daughter-in-law Lois; 10 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; and sister Lydia Froese. She was predeceased by husband David (1972); sons John (1990), Ben (2006) and Harry (2009); grandson Billy (1980); two grandchildren born prematurely; and brother John Dyck.
