The daughter of Henry and Ida Unruh,
Annie Voth was born in Harvey, N.D . on
January 22, 1899. Together with her family
she moved to the Hepburn, Sask. district in
1905. She turned to the Lord for salvation in
her youth and was baptized and joined the
Mennonite Brethren church.
Able to read and write in two languages,
Mrs. Voth's special love was to read her
Bible. She made doll clothes for hundreds of
children and contributed much of her craftwork to MCC.
She married Jacob A. Voth on March 26,
1918, a union blessed with seven children.
She had a special concern for the spiritual
welfare of her family. Although she frequently
experienced illness, her faith in Christ
never wavered. In spite of declining health,
the Voths were able to celebrate their golden
anniversary in 1968 with all children and
grandchildren present. The Voths remained
on their farm until ten years ago, when they
moved into Hepburn.
The Lord took her home quietly on
October 29. She leaves to mourn her husband, Jacob; three daughters, (Mrs.) Elsie
Wood, (Mrs.) Elma Peters, and (Mrs .) Irene
Kliewer; two sons, Allan and Dave; 22
grandchildren; 4 great-grandchildren; one
sister; two brothers; one step-sister and one
step-brother.
