It is with profound sorrow that we share the news of Anka Mavis Louise Prince’s passing on Monday, January 13, 2025. Anka is now reunited with the spirits of her beloved mother, Sylvia Rose Prince, who left us on January 22, 2022, and her dear brothers, Cory, who passed away on February 20, 2022, and Matthew on March 30, 2024.
Left to cherish her memory are her brother, Jerry Smith, and her beautiful children: Tira, Halee, Taylor, Kaylee and Cory. She also leaves behind a loving network of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins who will forever hold her in their hearts.
Anka’s life was a complex tapestry of joy, struggle, and resilience. Anka never wanted to be defined only by her addiction and mistakes, she was so much more than that. She made it clear if she was to ever pass with the hope that honesty about her life, her story could help break the stigma about addicts and get people talking about the problem of addiction that is taking away so many lives. With great hope, she wished that by sharing her story, she could help dismantle the stigma surrounding addiction and encourage conversations about this pervasive issue that affects so many lives, young and old.
Growing up in a foster home in Alonsa, MB, Anka formed lasting bonds with her cousins and baby brother. As a little girl, Anka was the sweetest, gentlest child who took a challenging turn as she faced the grip of addiction in adulthood, a sad reality that can happen to anyone. Anka was raised with love and is loved by many; she made a loving family within the Anglican Community in Kinesota, MB. Fiercely outspoken and compassionate, Anka always sought to help others, demonstrating an immense capacity for love.
She cherished the moments spent singing in the St. B church choir, participating passionately in community events, and supporting those in need. Despite the significant trauma she endured, she had a remarkable ability to light up a room with her smile and infectious sense of humour, especially for her dirty humour.
That was Anka: this amazing woman should be remembered for this and not her mistakes. Anka didn’t want me to hide her addiction, but if her story could help just one addict push even harder for another day of sobriety, encourage an active user to choose recovery or shine a light on this horrible epidemic, then it would be worth coming out of the shadows. She was very open about her struggles and now is not the time to change that. This strong attitude with a fierce drive and a loving, beautiful heart that wanted to help others when she barely had anything is one of the many things that she can be defined by, not her addiction. Anka wanted to live. She had dreams of a future career, trying to rebuild relationships with her children and fought hard all the way until the end, one day away from entering detox, but she couldn’t break the chains of this demon that was wiping out a generation. Addiction doesn’t discriminate, it will take hold and destroy anyone in its path, including the families and people who love them. Addiction hides in the faces of everyday people all around us.
She dreamed of her bright future and a gift that the world lost and can never be replaced. Her deep love for her family, especially her children, never wavered. Anka often expressed her regrets about her past choices while radiating pride in her children. She believed wholeheartedly in second chances, maybe because she craved another chance for herself and for others who fell. Anka understood that sharing her struggles could help illuminate the path for others, promoting recovery and understanding.
In her journey, she embodied strength and compassion, always willing to extend a hand, even when she had little to give herself. Anka was a warrior for her dreams—a loving mother who fought tirelessly, even until her last days, as she sought to conquer the chains of addiction that too often bind individuals and their families. She recognized that addiction knows no boundaries, affecting people from all walks of life.
Anka was not merely a statistic or “another one lost too soon.” She was a beautiful spirit with a kind heart, filled with aspirations for a brighter future. The loss of her vibrant presence is unforgettable. To honour Anka, let us all take a moment to reflect before passing judgment on those facing the challenge of addiction. Compassion and understanding are needed now more than ever.
She will be deeply missed by all who knew her, leaving a legacy of cherished memories and her spirit of love.
Traditional Wake will take place at Long Plain Spirit Lodge on Friday, January 31, 2025 beginning at 4:00 pm. Traditional Feast and Service will be held at Long Plain Spirit Lodge on Saturday, February 1, 2025, at 12:00 pm followed by burial at Long Plain Cemetery.
