<center><h3>MRS. ANNIE KRAHN</h3>/center>

(Mrs.) Annie Krahn was born July 9, 1905
to Mr. and Mrs. George Sawatsky at Aberdeen, Saskatchewan, and went to be with her
Lord on May 20, 1977. She had a happy
childhood and at the age of 13 years accepted
Christ as her Saviour. She was baptized by
Rev. David Dyck in 1920 and joined the
Aberdeen Mennonite Brethren Church.
With Peter Krahn, whom she married on
November 15, 1925, she lived on a farm at
Aberdeen, and it was here that God blessed
them with four sons and one daughter.
Physical and financial hardships followed
during the depression years. After her husband's serious illness, Mrs. Krahn was left
alone to rear the family and provide for their
needs. In spite of hard times, she never gave
in to discouragment, but always tried to
keep up the family morale. She seldom
missed a Sunday church service, and the trip
back and forth was usually accompanied by
family singing. In 1956 Mrs. Krahn moved to
Saskatoon and joined the Central Mennonite
Brethren Church. Soon after she became
seriously ill, but through God's grace he gave
her 20 more years. She was hospitalized in
February, 1977, and cancer was diagnosed.
On May 20 the Lord relieved her of her
suffering and peacefully took her to himself.
Mrs. Krahn's last days were a source of
strength to many. She never wavered in her
faith but was calm in the thought that God
would take care of her. She leaves to mourn
her children: George and Hildegard of Vancouver; Henry and Luella of Saskatoon;
Herb and Anne of Calgary; Breata and
Henry Klassen of Calgary; and John and
Evelyn of Saskatoon; 10 grandchildren; one
great-grandson; one brother and five sisters;
and numerous relatives and friends.
