Anne Helen Wiebe (Baher), beloved wife and soul mate of Frederick Wiebe of Hardisty, Alberta formerly of Grassy Lake, passed away suddenly on Monday, August 21, 2000 at the age of 57 years.
Anne was born the daughter of John and Josephine Baher on February 1, 1943 at Natel, B.C. She was raised in Elk Valley and moved to Fernie in the 1950’s following her fathers death. She returned to Elk Valley when her mother re-married and completed her schooling. She worked as a telephone operator for a British Columbia Telephone company. Anne met and later married Fred Wiebe on May 11, 1961. She was very outgoing and a cheerful person capable of any type of work and not intimidated to face new challenges. She raised a family of four children and owned and operated a successful restaurant in Grassy Lake. Anne looked forward to a new challenge of a career in farming and moved with Fred to Hardisty where she tended her cattle and the homestead. Anne will be remembered for her helping hand to anyone in need and her perfectionism in making crafts which she did with pride. Most of all, Anne was proud of her family and doted over her grandchildren and will be deeply missed by them.
