Obituary
Anne (Dzendzel) Argue was born in Poland on April 20th, 1925. Soon after, her father immigrated to
Canada, with Anne and her mother following …. Ianding in Halifax on May 1st 1930 … On the trip they met
an iceberg which they very narrowly missed. She recalls the panic there was as lifeboats were made
ready and lifejackets put on!! The unsinkable Titanic went down when it hit an iceberg but they were
saved by the grace of God!!
The family settled in the Vonda district in Saskatchewan where she received her public and high school
education. In 1944 Anne went to Saskatoon Normal School to become a teacher. She recalls life at the
time of the 30’s … drought … grasshoppers … armyworms and dust storms!! Those were the days of hobos
riding the freight trains going from one end of the country to the other looking for work. They begged or
did anything to survive .. often being in groups called Hobo Jungles!! War started in 1939 and many
young people enlisted … not for patriotic reasons but to get some decent clothes and 3 meals a day.
After teaching for 4 years Anne married Ormie Argue and they settled in the Sanctuary district where
they farmed and raised their 4 children.
In 1958 Ormie and Anne met and accepted the true gospel which enriched their lives and brought them
peace and contentment and guidance. It also brought them into a worldwide fellowship of dear friends.
In 1983 they moved to the town of Kyle to spend their retirement years. Ormie was able to and enjoyed
helping the boys with whatever he could and they were glad for his help.
Anne’s first love was her service to God …. then her dear family of children, grandchildren, great-
grandchildren and great-great grandchildren. She enjoyed her many friends and later learned to
correspond with many the world over by E-mail on her computer. She enjoyed her garden, flowers and
many handcrafts.
Anne is survived by her 4 children … Lois Woods (and her son and family of Vancouver and their three
children …. her daughter and family of Bow Island … their 3 children and one grandchild …)
Lorraine Wyman of Edmonton.
Lloyd and family on the home farm and their 3 children, 22 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild
Lyle and family also on the home farm and their 3 children and 7 grandchildren.
Anne is survived by 8 grandchildren, 24 great-grandchildren and 2 great-great grandchildren …. all very
much loved by gramma!. .. also one brother and his wife and four daughters in Saskatoon and one sister
and her husband of Kelowna BC. She also has many dear and close friends-many in the same fellowship
she enjoys.
