Anne Beach, resident of Grande Prairie, formerly of Drumheller, Alberta passed away on thursday, July 28, 2018 at the age of 92 years.
Anne was born in the Ukraine on March 17, 1926. At the age of 5 1/2 the family moved to Drumheller where her father started a market garden. Anne married the love of her life Glen Beach on April 10, 1944. They were married 33 years and had 3 boys,Richard, Allan and Ronald. Glen worked for Alberta Power and the family lived in Drumheller, Forestburg and Grande Cache. Anne always felt the most at home in Drumheller. She moved to the Grande Prairie Care Centre in 2012 to be closer to her son Allan. She enjoyed dressing up and accessorizing. She loved to dance and spent many weekends at community dances around the area. She also had a love of bingo and played a minimum of once a week, making family go with if they were in town for a visit. Playing was more cards than most could handle!
Anne is survived by her children, Allan (Chris) Beach and Ron (Mary) Beach; granddaughter Melissa (John) Buck (nee Beach); and great-grandson Jace (Beach) Buck.
Anne was predeceased by her husband Glen, son Richard, her parents, and all but one of her eight siblings.
