ANNE FRIESEN After a life of love and adventure, God called our mother, Anne Marie Friesen, home at 8:15 p.m. September 27, 2010. Anne was born to John and Elena Schellenberg on August 25, 1931 in Cartwright in southwestern Manitoba. She is predeceased by her husband, John, in 1997, and her son, Murray, in 1996. She is survived by two sons, Norman (married to Barbara Simler) and Daniel (married to Margaret Schellenberg). Anne was a member of the Portage Avenue Mennonite Brethren Church of Winnipeg. After her husband's sudden passing, Anne moved to Abbotsford, BC, finding a home at the Bakerview Mennonite Brethren Church, and joining many of her siblings who had retired there. During her final years, Anne lived at the Deltaview Rehabilitation Centre in Delta, BC. Both Anne and her family are enormously grateful for the assistance she received there, and especially to the kind staff who provided help and support so generously. A celebration of Anne's life will take place with family and friends at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, October, 23 2010 at Friends Funeral Service, 2146 Main Street, followed by interment at the Sunnyside Cemetery in the Birds Hill area.
