ANNE REDEKOP
Anne Redekop died Jan. 26. She was born April 5, 1929 to Cornelius and Anna Andreas on a farm near Herbert, Sask. Anne attended school in Rosefarm and Greenfarm, and went to Bible school in Herbert where she met Harry, the love of her life. The couple was married Dec. 17, 1952. Anne accepted the Lord as her Saviour in the Greenfarm MB Church and later was baptized. She took an active role in the church and worked at the Herbert senior citizens home. In 1995, Anne and Harry sold their farm and retired to Swift Current. They loved living in the city and spent many hours entertaining friends or going for coffee. Anne's life revolved around her family and grandchildren. She was interested in all aspects of their lives, and enjoyed attending car shows, helping paint their houses, attending their sports games, and baking cinnamon buns for them. She had numerous friends and neighbours that she held close to her heart. The most important thing to Anne was her faith and she stressed the necessity of a personal commitment to Christ. Life completely changed for Anne when she was diagnosed with inoperable colon cancer, yet she was not afraid of dying and talked about meeting Jesus and what a day of rejoicing that would be. Predeceased by Harry in 1996, she is mourned by children Garry (Helen), Bryan (Laurie), Angela (Tim) Hasler, and Teresa (Brent) Nelson; 5 grandchildren; 2 sisters; 1 brother. The funeral was Jan. 30 at Bridgeway Community Church, Swift Current, Sask.
