Annie grew up on the family farm near Lancer, SK and graduated from Lancer High School. Upon graduation, she worked at a dress shop in Regina, SK, and a bank and post office in Abbey, SK. Later she took a bookkeeping job for the Catholic parish at Lancer. When the parish priest, Fr. Loran+ OMI, was transferred to Denzil, SK., she accompanied him to assist in his relocation and eventually remained as his bookkeeper/housekeeper.

While at Denzil, she met her future husband, Roy J. Engel through the local baseball team. Fr. Loran coached the team. Annie kept score and drew up the batting line while Roy was the team manager.

Annie married Roy J. Engel October 4, 1954 at Denzil, SK. Fr. Norbert Engel+,OMI, brother of Roy, officiated their marriage. The couple moved to Allan, SK where they farmed until Roy’s death. Annie also worked as a bookkeeper at the Admore Co-op in Allan for over 10 years.

Annie loved to garden, sew, quilt and other handwork. She made many items for family throughout her life. She sewed baptismal bibs for her parish for many years. She enjoyed taking care of her grandkids, spoiling them with love and silly stories.

Annie loved to socialize with her family and friends and always had time to visit with those who were kind enough to drop by. She especially enjoyed seeing family members at Getz family reunions and gatherings.

Annie served throughout her life in various volunteer activities. She was a lifetime member of the CWL. In the last years of her life, she volunteered her time in the nursing home where she resided. She found great joy assisting and comforting people in whatever capacity they required.

The family would like to express sincere gratitude to Annie’s many caregivers during her illness. Particular appreciation is extended to her daughter-in-law, Lorraine Engel, who looked after many details of Annie’s life and well-being throughout her declining health. Annie frequently expressed to us appreciation for Lorraine’s genuine concern, comfort and care. A short graveside memorial only, will be held at the cemetery in Allan, SK.

Matt 14-30

For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted to them his property. 15 To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. 16 He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more. 17 So also he who had the two talents made two talents more. 18 But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master’s money. 19 Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them. 20 And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents; here I have made five talents more.’ 21 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ 22 And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me two talents; here I have made two talents more.’ 23 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ 24 He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed, 25 so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.’ 26 But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed? 27 Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. 28 So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents. 29 For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 30 And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
