Mrs. Anna Behne

February 15, 1922 - April 26, 2019

Mrs. Anna Behne of High River, AB passed away on April 26, 2019 at the High River Hospital at the age of 97 years. Anna is survived by her grandchildren, Darylynn Laliberte (Jean-Guy Laliberte) and Darren Schueller (Theressa Schueller); great-grandchildren Miriam, Elisabeth and John Laliberte; and several nieces and nephews in Germany. Sadly, Anna’s remaining sister, Margret, passed away suddenly, just one day after Anna’s death. Anna was predeceased by her husband, Walter Behne in 1979, and her daughter Heike Schueller, and son-in-law, Daryl Schueller in 2015. Anna was born in Thedinghausen, Germany where she lived until she immigrated to Canada in 1953. She had resided in the Stettler area, Brooks, Calgary, Nanaimo, B.C., and finally High River. Anna was a very spirited and active person. She enjoyed travelling to many places over the years, and she loved hiking and cross-country skiing even into her 90’s. She took on many challenges such as hiking the Great Wall in China, as well as hiking down into the Grand Canyon on her 80th birthday. We would like to thank the staff and caregivers of Seasons Retirement Community for making Anna a welcome member of their family, as well as the wonderfully caring hospital staff who looked after Anna during her time in the hospital. At Anna’s request no service will be held. To send condolences and view Anna’s Tribute Page please visit www.lylereeves.com .
