KRAHN - It is with deep sadness that we say goodbye to a loving mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, Anna Krahn. She passed away peacefully on Monday, October 19, 2009, after a brief and courageous battle with cancer. Anna was born on October 17, 1922, to Henry and Anna Froese at Blumenhof, SK. She married John Krahn in 1946, and they were blessed with three children, Dennis (Marilyn) Krahn, Eleanor (Neil) Peters, Doug (Kate Kewish) Krahn; her grandchildren, Lisa (Mike) Staley, Michael Krahn and mother Linda Krahn, Jolene (Mike) Giesbrecht, Jocelyn (Jay) Lamotte and Alyssa Krahn; her great-grandchildren, Chance, Kole and Tai; her sisters, Betty and Kay; and her brothers, Hank and Bob. Anna was predeceased by her husband, John; a grandson, Jeffrey; a sister, Helen; a brother, Red; and many in-laws and friends. She accomplished many things. She was a teacher, grain farmer, dairy farmer and of course a wonderful mother. She was always willing to lend a hand to anyone in need. She retired with John in 1996. They moved to Swift Current and always maintained an active role in the church and her children’s lives. She loved to share her faith in God with anyone and memorizing Bible verses, the last one being Psalm 100 which was very important for her to accomplish. She also enjoyed having coffee with friends, knitting, crocheting, reading and playing games. Anna was a humble woman, she was recently told by a close friend that she was a special person, she replied by saying, “I am not a very special person, but I know someone who is.” Anna will be forever missed by her family and many friends.
