Gertrud Annelies Befus

Annelies Befus passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 18th, 2018 at the age of 93, after a six-year struggle with dementia. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 62 years, Edward Befus; son Wayne (Darlene); daughter Wynne; five grandchildren – Craig (Lisa),Kimberley, Kendall, Shelaine, and Darin; and two great-grandchildren – Oliver and Charlie.

Born in Dresden, Germany, Annelies completed a Master’s Degree in Hand Weaving before emigrating in 1953 to Canada. She married in 1955 and settled in the Calgary area and then Drayton Valley while raising her two children. Later she and Edward moved to Vernon BC where Annelies fulfilled her dream of living close to the lakes where she could often be found swimming into her late 70’s.

Annelies had a love for music and will be fondly remembered by her dozens of organ, accordion and piano students for her creativity and enthusiasm for learning.
