(nee Klassen)
April 27, 1945 - February 8, 2026
Anne Neufeld (nee Klassen) of Winkler, formerly of Hochfeld, passed away peacefully to be with Jesus on Sunday, February 8th at the age of 80. She is survived by her son Roger (Helen), grandkids Nici and Mike (Kristen) and his family. She was predeceased by Harry in 2025, her husband of 58 years.
Harry and Anne moved to the farm in Hochfeld 1973 and remained until 2015. She spent many hours in her vegetable and flower gardens, hosting family, friends, and whoever else came through the door. There would always be something on the table and a pot of coffee ready. She knew how to work hard on the farm, and that work ethic transferred to her hosting.
Anne loved to fish and they spent many weekends out at Rock Lake and Grand Rapids with friends. Anne and Harry also spent many winters in Mexico, Chile, Cuba, and Bolivia where they made many friends, some of whom came and visited them here in Canada.
Anne loved her family, especially her grandkids. Many Sunday afternoons were spent with the grandkids at their house playing cards and having faspa or supper together. She loved being around people, which is why their house was the home of many fish fry’s, corn roasts, and evening fires.
Anne was known for her feisty personality. There was very little that she kept to herself. Her loud expressions and honesty made things like playing games extra entertaining. There were always a few people who knew exactly how to get that rise out of her, and even though she knew what they were doing, her response would be the same.
Her strength, work ethic, and feistiness were seen through the last number of years as she dealt with health struggles. From her aneurism seven years ago, to battling double-pneumonia in December, her fight was visible and obvious. She defied many odds throughout the last number of years.
The family would like thank Homecare, Boundary Trails Palliative Care staff, and all those who walked alongside us as we cared for Anne these last years. We appreciated you very much!
