She peacefully passed away June 3, 2016, reaching the age of ninety. Anna lived her early life in Swalwell, and at the age of ten, she moved with her family to a homestead near Crooked Creek, Alberta. Anna was baptized upon confession of her faith into the Church of God in Christ, Mennonite, on March 27, 1940, by Min. Frank Hiebert. Anna married William (Bill) Purves on January 6, 1952. They moved to a farm near Claimont, Alberta, where five children were born to them. In 1969, they moved to a farm near Hythe, Alberta. Four years ago, Anna moved to various nursing homes and eventually moved to Points West Living in Grande Prairie, Alberta. Anna held the roles of mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, and friend, but she is best remembered for her simple Christian faith, loving-kindness, patience, and gentleness. She demonstrated a Christlike, unconditional love to all she met. She worked hard on the farm with her husband, doing chores and providing meals for her family and anyone else who came to the door. Friends and family came for her fried chicken dinners but stayed for the welcome and love she gave to all. She loved African violets; the house overflowed with them. She loved horses, sewing, knitting, and crocheting. Most of what she made she gave away. Those left to cherish fond memories are her daughter, Helen and Ashif Khan and their two children; daughter, Lorna Purves and Dave Price and their two children; son, William and Liz Purves and their three children; daughter, Mary Anne and Dan Finley and their five children; and son, Sam and Sherri Purves and their three children. She also had many great-grandchildren. Anna is survived by three sisters: Matilda, Ella, and Mable. Anna was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, six brothers, four sisters, and one granddaughter. Funeral services were held June 11, 2016, at the Living Springs Congregation at Hythe, Alberta. Min. Frank Banman officiated. Burial was in the Hythe Cemetery.
