ANNE CHYZ
1920 - 2020
Anne was born on September 19, 1920 in the RM of Grandview. She grew up on the family farm north of Grandview and received her education at Wicklow School.
Anne was united in marriage to Paul Chyz on November 21, 1946. They were blessed with eight children, farmed and raised their family together south of Grandview. Tragically, Paul died in 1969 from injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident.
Anne was a long-time resident of Grandview until declining health necessitated moving into her daughter Sharon (Chris) Molberg's home in Winnipeg in 2017. She became a resident of Holy Family Home in January of 2020 and lived there until her passing.
Anne was predeceased by her parents, Matthew and Mary Kowal (nee Huska); her husband Paul Chyz; her daughter Sandra Smith; her son-in-law Bob Nairn and all of her siblings. She was also predeceased by Paul's siblings and their spouses and other extended family.
Anne is survived by her children, Diane Nairn, Dwayne (Hazel) Chyz, Sharon (Chris) Molberg, Bryon (Wendy) Chyz, Mervin Chyz, Doreen Chyz (Al Furneaux), Donna Chyz (Rob Stobbe) and her son-in-law, Richard Smith.

It seems strange to say that I have know Anne for 35 years because those years have passed so quickly. For the past 28 years she has been my mother-in-law and took care of me as my mother had passed away soon after Donna and I married. It was Anne's nature to welcome and care for anyone who was blessed enough to meet her. For those of us who married into Anne's family the welcome was that much stronger and lasting and her caring that much more full of love which grew deeper and deeper over the years. Her gift was also to serve her family and put them first which she demonstrated at all of my visits to her home and all the family gatherings I ever attended. To my mind and experience, her cooking and baking were legendary and the volume and quantity of food she prepared was hard to grasp as freezers and fridges filled to over flowing. Of course everyone left her house with a trunk full of food! That was only one of the very tangible ways she would care for us and let us know we were loved. More gentle and tender was the love that flow out of her in the form of kisses and hugs, the warm hellos and tearful goodbyes, the late night welcomes we received upon arrival in Grandview and the image of her waving at the window when we drove away. The legacy of that caring and love lives on in her sons and daughter and it has spread to her grand children and now her great grand children and Maya her sweet great great grand daughter. I recognize her smile and feel her heart in them as I receive their enthusiastic hugs and absorb the love they offer from their hearts that carry Anne's finger prints, her legacy. Those finger prints will never fade from our hearts because they were placed there in Mum's loving ways.. Goodbye for now Mum, I look forward to our next meeting. It will be Wonderful!

I had gotten to know Anne for almost 2 years and just loved her! I affectionally called her mom as that was her beautiful nature! I was so lucky to have had her as my client! Her family we as warm and welcoming she raised them well! That was one thing she could never doubt was the love she had for her family and anyone who came through her door! My Deepest Sympathies to all her family at this time! Sandi McLeod Hill Community Health Care Aide - Posted by: Sandi McLeod-Hill (Community Health Care Aide ) on: Apr 09, 2020
