She married Peter Belyk and together they had three children, Sophie Anne, Nestor and Andrew. Annie survived the Depression and the loss of her first husband and second child. She later married Nick Kytyk and moved from full-time farming, retiring in Saskatoon. She took great pleasure in gardening and always gave thanks for small miracles like rain and sunshine. Annie is survived by her daughter Sophie Anne Penney; her son Andrew Peter Belyk; grandchildren, Melodie Anne, Kirk, Kerrie, and Merrin; brothers, sisters, cousins, nieces, and nephews. We will miss shelling peas with her, the taste of summer borscht, gazing in amazement at her wonderful garden and the sparkle of her eyes...windows to a soul who knew much pain in this life, but gave great joy.
