ANITA LOEPP

Survived by her five children, Rudi (Barbara), Edie (Len), Ingrid (Jim), Karl (Gayda), and Heidi (Paul) and 11 grandchildren, Colin (Bronwyn), Josiah (Sara), Jonny (Tessa), Nick (Chiara), Ally (Eddy), Jordan (Bethany), Thomas (Wiebke), Austin (Nikki), Natasha (Ari), Anneli (Joshua), Joanna (Nolan) and great-grandchildren, James, Audrey and Henry.

Predeceased by her beloved husband Henry in 2002, her dear son-in-law Mike, and Tante Michi Loepp.

Anita was born in 1929 in Ukraine and was tragically orphaned at age seven. To escape the ravages of war she fled west and in time made her way to Canada. She and Henry were married in Winnipeg in 1953. She delighted in caring for her “big family”, as she called it, proudly caring for her five children. She eagerly supported her husband Henry in the development of Valour Decorating, and together they bought and revived an old cottage at Westhawk Lake. At the age of 70 she and Henry made a big move from Winnipeg to Waterloo, fully embracing their new adventure. She felt deeply blessed and saw Canada as one of the best things that could have happened to her. Her final prayer was “Thank you Lord for my big family.” Her family will miss her enormously and are deeply grateful for the way this amazing woman has shaped them.

The Funeral Service will begin on Friday, June 7, 2024, at 1:00 p.m. EST. To view the livestream and recording of the service, please visit www.erbgood.com
