The death of Anne (nee Witt) Becker of Humboldt occurred on Thursday, November 11, 2010, at the Humboldt District Hospital, Humboldt, SK. She was 87 years of age. Anne was born to Albert and Helena (nee Klassen) Witt at their farm 6 miles South of Carmel. She attended Valley View School and helped raise her siblings on the farm. Anne worked at the post office and general store in Carmel. On June 17, 1947, she married George Becker at Immaculate Conception Church, south of Carmel. Anne and George moved into Humboldt where they lived and raised their family of six. In 2008, due to failing health Anne left her home, eventually moving to St. Mary's Villa. In her younger years, she was a good athlete and brought home medals for her running ability. Throughout her life Anne was active. She enjoyed bowling, curling, bike riding, skating and cross country skiing even in her 70's. She was also a gifted home maker and loved cooking, sewing, gardening (both vegetable and flowers) and with her cheery outlook she usually would sing while she worked. Supporting her children in their extracurricular activities: hockey, figure skating, piano or whatever they were doing gave Anne a great deal of pleasure. She also found time to socialize, they often had company and enjoyed visits with family and friends. In her later years, she played Canasta with a group of close friends. A member of the CWL and the St. Elizabeth's Hospital Auxiliary allowed her to be more involved with her church and community. She was a positive person who exemplified a strong faith.
