POLSON â Her family is sad to announce the passing of Annie Catherine Cote Edwards on December 8, 2020, after suffering a stroke. Annie was 94 years old and she resided at the St. Joseph Assisted Living facility in Polson, with her loving husband. Annie was born November 21, 1926, to Joe and Mary Cote in St. Ignatius.
She spent her childhood living on a farm and attending school on the Flathead Indian Reservation. Through her motherâs lineage (Kiernan/Couture) Annie was a proud member of the Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes (CSKT).
After she graduated from high school, Annie left home to live and work in Arlee; and later she moved to Kalispell, where she went to work in Sykes Grocery at the cheese counter. She used to tell us kids that each store employee was also assigned a section of grocery shelves to stock in addition to their primary duties. There she met her future husband Robert who also worked at Sykes as a butcher. (Annieâs sister-in-law Ann Sykes [nee
