It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Anne Koch, on April 10, 2013 at Providence Place in Moose Jaw. Anne had just past her 97th birthday in March. She was born in Winkler, MB on March 22, 1916, the younger of two children born to Frank and Elizabeth Janzen. She was predeceased by her parents, and husband, Henry in 2012.
