Anna Maria Pfahl nee: Faechner, of Hanna
Anna Maria Pfahl passed away January 4, 2004 at the Hanna Nursing Home at the age of 93.
Anna was born on October 23, 1910 to Dan and Lydia Faechner in the Hand Hills, Alberta area. She grew up on the farm and attended Golden Hill School. She took music lessons from Mrs. Reuteman, the Pastor’s wife. She was baptized and confirmed in Friedens Evangelical Church and continued to serve Jesus Christ faithfully all her life.
On November 2, 1930 she married Reinhold Pfahl and they lived on the same farm as his folks for five years. They took over the farm when his folks retired to Medicine Hat in the fall of 1935 and resided on the family homestead until they moved to the former Reinhold Fano farm in 1962. They moved once more in 1967 to the former Mike Litke farm before retiring in 1979 in Hanna.
Anna had a great love for music and took great pleasure in playing the organ, the piano and the accordion. She enjoyed quilting, as well as crocheting and left her family beautiful keepsakes of her handiwork. She thoroughly enjoyed her family - her grandchildren meant the world to her. And in later years, her great grandchildren gave her so much pleasure.
She was predeceased by her mother and father, her husband Reinhold of 66 years; and three brothers, Daniel, William and Herbert.
Anna leaves to mourn her passing, one son Lester (Ruth) Pfahl of Hanna; one daughter Betty (Noel) Peterson of Ponoka, four grandchildren: Tara (Keven) Racette of Cranbrook, BC; Trevor (Melania) Pfahl of Sarabaya, Indonesia, Irvin (Shauna) Peterson of Elnora, and Dale (Genie) Peterson of Red Deer, three great grandchildren: Kelsey and Cordell Peterson of Elnora, and Justin Peterson of Red Deer, as well as two sisters Bertha Faechner of Calgary and Edna Bye of Calgary, one brother Harvey (Iris) Faechner of Hanna, and one sister-in-law Terry Faechner of Hanna, and numerous nieces and nephews and friends.
A celebration of Anna’s life will be held at Bethel Evangelical Missionary Church on Thursday, January 8, 2004 at 2:00 p.m. with Pastor Laurie Burridge officiating.
If friends so desire, donations may be made in honor of Anna’s memory to STARS or to a charity of their choice.

Myrtle Edith Stokke
(July 13, 1920 - February 1, 2012)
Myrtle Edith Stokke, longtime resident of Wembley and then Grande Prairie, passed away at the Grande Prairie Care Centre on February 1, 2012 at the age of 91 years.
Myrt was born on July 13, 1920 in Edmonton, Alberta, the youngest of four children to William and Minnie George. She told us of many adventures of her childhood. She came up to Wembley to work for the Stokke’s at harvest time and met Wes Stokke who she would marry on February 12, 1938. They had four children. Wes and Myrt farmed their entire life east of Wembley until their retirement in 1961. They were also longtime members of Wembley Baptist Church.
Myrt participated in curling and had fond memories of many fun times at bonspiels. Following and watching her children participate and succeed at their many sports endeavors also brought her great pleasure. She was a great cook and we will miss her meals, squares and pies. She was very proud of her entire family and especially enjoyed the great-grandchildren. She loved the outdoors and enjoyed day trips around the peace country with Ray and many of her grandchildren. She even went on a riverboat ride at Pipestone at the age of 90.
She will be sadly missed by her children, Ray (Elaine) Stokke, Joyce (Dan) Balisky, Dale (Diane) Stokke and Sharon Norton; her grandchildren, Brad (Vickie) Stokke, Deanna Ward, Craig (Karen) Stokke, Derek (Michelle) Stokke, Brent (Laura) Balisky, Leann and Al Boyd, Cheryl (Greg) Schindel, Dean (Dawn Marie) Balisky, LeAnn Wooley, Nancy (Surinder) Dhaliwal, Marcus (Heather) Stokke, Natalie Norton and Scott Norton; 18 great-grandchildren and one great great-grandchild; her sister Lillian Waller of Edmonton and many nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her husband Wes Stokke; grandson Lance Balisky; son-in-law Ken Norton and brothers Art and Harold.
A graveside service is being planned for the spring/summer of 2012 and details will be published at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Wembley Baptist Church or a charity of one’s choice.
