Anne was predeceased by her parents Aganetha and Corny Friesen, her sister Tina Funk and brother Johnny Friesen, brothers-in-law Chris Baschuk and Abe Fuchs, sister-in-law Fran Friesen and her granddaughter Jestina Wajda; her father and mother-in-law Joseph and Lena Ladyka and sister-in-law Olga. Left to mourn are her husband of 50 years, Harold Ladyka, their children Gordon Ladyka (Helen), Wendy Nederhoed (Albert), Miranda Wajda (Mark), Leroy Ladyka (Rachelle) and Tracey Peel (Blaine); grandchildren Jared, Dale, and Emily Nederhoed, Amy Wajda, Laura and Troy Peel, Beth and Joseph Ladyka, Mackenzie and Kayla Ladyka.

Anne was born in Grunthal, MB, married in Winnipeg in 1964 and moved to Thompson, MB in 1969, where she raised her five children, retiring to Miniota, MB in 2005. Until her stroke in 1989, Anne was an avid reader, enjoyed crocheting and was an accomplished seamstress. Her family was her pride and joy and she gave selflessly and asked for nothing in return. She will be remembered for her witty humour, infectious laugh, caring nature and her ability to carry on when others would have quit. The family would like to thank the 3rd Floor nursing staff at the Brandon Regional Health Centre, including, Dr. Smith, Dr. Carpenter and Dr. Cartagena, where she spent seven weeks. Also, they'd like to thank the wonderful staff and Doctors at the Hamiota Health Centre, with special thanks to Tara (LPN).

Our thoughts and prayers and with your entire family. Anne was a wonderful sister and aunt to us. Always full of chuckles and jokes she always made us smile and made us feel welcome on our visits. We were honoured that Anne and Harry trusted us to care for her children on their trips to the city. Our summer visits to Thompson were the best. Mom has great memories of Anne's great singing back home on the farm with their brother Dave. It will be with great honour and pleasure that when the day is chosen to celebrate her life here on earth we will be there. With Love the Smadella family - Posted by: Betty and Henry Smadella (Sister and brother in law) on: Jan 25, 2014
