ANNIE PLETT
(nee Brandt)

Annie Plett (nee Brandt) went to be with the Lord on Monday, May 11, 2015, at the age of 90, at Bethesda Place, Steinbach, MB.

Annie was born on March 1, 1925 in Landmark, Manitoba to John and Katherine Brandt. She was baptized on July 26, 1942. Annie married Aaron Plett on November 11, 1989.

She is survived by two stepdaughters, three stepsons and their families, one brother, three sisters, one sister-in-law and their families.

Annie was predeceased by her husband Aaron, one sister, one brother, two brothers-in-law and one step grandson.

As far back as we can remember, Annie was an accomplished seamstress and would sew for family members and herself. She was willing to help out her sisters when they had babies. At family gatherings, she was very organized and did much of the work of planning and serving for the family. If family news needed to be shared it was Annie who would call everybody.

All of us, nephews and nieces, benefitted from her sincere spiritual concern for us. She spent many years cooking at various bible camps, and also at Rest Haven. She was always in touch with many missionaries, loved to hear their stories, financially supporting them, and faithfully praying for them. When Blumenort did a door to door blitz, she was the prayer warrior. When her father needed care, she came home to take care of him. Shortly after Dad passed away, Mom had a stroke, and she then took care of Mom for almost 10 years until Mom moved to Rest Haven.

At 64, she was thrilled to marry Aaron Plett and they enjoyed a happy marriage for 13 years. As a mother, she was very organized with making and preparing meals, putting extras in the freezer for the unexpected guests. She was faithful with sending Christmas and Birthday cards including a cheque and a “praying for you note.” She lovingly cared for Aaron before his passing.

In October 2013 when she moved to Bethesda Place, she found it hard to give up her independence.

Lately she was “waiting to go home!” We will remember her as, living a humble life of service.

The funeral service for Annie Plett will be held on Saturday, May 16, 2015 at 10:30 a.m. at Blumenort Evangelical Mennonite Church, Blumenort, MB, with viewing at the church prior to the service. Burial will follow at the church cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Annie may be made to Mennonite Central Committee, 134 Plaza Drive, Winnipeg, MB, R3T 5K9.
