GUENTHER – 1941 – 2008
Annette Maureen Guenther, beloved wife of Ben, passed away suddenly at the Rockyview Hospital on September 25, 2008 at the age of 67 years.
Annette was born September 16, 1941 at Nordegg, Alberta to George and Annie Innocento. She spent her childhood at Nordegg and Rocky Mountain House. Annette moved to Calgary in 1957 where she met her loving husband Ben. She attended Marvel Beauty School, graduated in 1959 and was a beautician for 51 years Annette especially enjoyed working with senior citizens. She also enjoyed devoting her life to people with disabilities and was a board member with the Wheatland Special Needs Society. Annette was a kind person who always gave more to others and expected nothing in return. Her true joy was to see the less fortunate succeed and live an independent and happy live. Annette was also a devoted Christian who gave herself to the Lord and was blessed with many happy occasions because of the belief in her faith. One of her greatest joys was to spend quality time with her family and friends over one of “her home cooked meals” and just having a lot of laughter and fun.
WORDS OF REFLECTORY
Her helping hand was always first
To render any aid she could.
Her voice was always raised in praise,
Her words were wise and good.
Dear Mother, since you’ve gone away,
The ones you loved so true
Try hard to carry on the way
We know you want us to.
The void in our hearts will remain until we meet again.
Annette is survived by and will be sadly missed by her loving husband Ben, four children Barry (Aggie), Brian, Tami (Dan) and Danny, two grandchildren Cory and Cody and sister Angelina Bednarz
Annette was predeceased by her parents George (Annie) Innocento, a brother Angelo Innocento and a niece Carol Bednaraz.
