ANNE HEIBERT passed away with grace and dignity on Wednesday, October 28, 2009, at St. Michael's Palliative Care Unit in Lethbridge, surrounded by her family, after a full and happy 90 years of life. Anne was born is Steinbach, Manitoba, in 1919, the second youngest of the six children of Marie and George Goossen. She was baptized in her early teen years in the river Seine, close to Ste. Anne, Manitoba. At the age of 20 she went to Guelph, Ontario, where she stayed with her brother Irvin and attended hairdressing school. In the late 1940s, she moved to Lethbridge, where she met and married Bill Heibert, who had been stationed at Pierce, Alberta, during the Second World War. They lived for 34 years in the home that Bill and his dad built on 14th Avenue South, and had 3 children, Gail, Lorne, and Gerald. Anne and Bill were founding members of McKillop United Church; Anne was very active with UCW, and helped Bill from time to time at the family business, Jack's TV. Anne's greatest joy was raising her family in a loving and nurturing environment. In 1986, Anne and Bill moved to Osoyoos, BC, where they had a very happy retirement in their lakefront home. When Bill passed away in January, 2006, Anne moved back to Lethbridge to be closer to her family.
