ANNE HARDER

Anne Harder was born on January 24, 1930, at Oxbow, Sask. When she was six, her parents moved to Hepburn, Sask., where she received all her education, from grade one to twelve. Here she also received Christ as Savior and at the age of sixteen was baptized and received into the Hepburn Mennonite Brethren Church.

On August 23, 1952 she was joined, in marriage to Arley Irwin Harder and for 18 years they were able to labor side by side. God blessed their union with three sons, Keith, Glenn and Brian. In the fall of 1960 they moved to Three Hills, Alta., where Arley accepted a teaohing position. In that same summer it first became apparent that she was suffering from latent Hodgkin's disease. Though early treatment seemed to arrest the disease, it became active again two years ago and on August 31 she went to be with the Lord. She reached the age of 40 years. Among her family's most treasured memories will always be her steadfast and living faith, in her Savior and Lord.

She is mourned by her husband, Arley; her three sons; her parents, four sisters, six brothers and a host of relatives and friends.
