1927 – 2021
In the peace and comfort of her home, with loving family around her, Anna Clara Engdahl left us to rejoin her beloved Harold once again.
Anna was born in Poland, just outside of Krakow on April 6, 1927, to Vincent & Victoria Bielka. They moved to Lintlaw, Saskatchewan when she was 1 year of age. Her humble beginnings taught her to work hard and thrive. She would later meet the love of her life and forever mate, Harold. She was a pioneer woman of faith, a good wife and mother extraordinaire. Her great spirit and creative ability gave her the capacity to meet all challenges. In 1956, with 5 children in tow, they moved to Wilmer, Invermere and then Windermere where she lived until her last days. Three more children were added to the family, making a total of 8, yet she still had time to welcome anyone into her home. No one was ever turned away and hardly anyone left her home empty handed, be it fresh buns, baking or another home-made item.
