She was born near Kamsack and was the second oldest of five children. Anne graduated grade 12 and worked at the local Sears store in Kamsack. She enjoyed playing softball, riding horses, playing scrabble, sewing/crocheting, reading, gardening, cooking, baking and dancing at the local community halls. She met her husband Tom Tranfananko at one of the dances. They later married on November 24, 1951. They resided on the family farm near Wroxton. Soon after they started their family and had two children; Melvin and Louise. Anne was predeceased by an infant brother Alex, her son Melvin, parents Doris and Fred, Sister Lorna, brother Fred and George and Husband Tom. Anne predeceased all 19 of her in-laws as well as a niece Elaine and nephew Dennis. Surviving to Anne is her daughter Louise and Husband Blaine of Roblin. Grandchildren Kevin of Winnipeg, Derek (Karissa) and Great Grandchildren Elena and Emmett of Roblin; and Koren of Brandon. She was a hard worker raising chickens, geese, turkeys, pigs and cows. Her large garden kept her busy all summer and fall planting, weeding, harvesting, freezing and canning, her labour of love. She will be remembered by her countless meals and baking she served her many friends, neighbours and family. Everyone was welcomed with open arms to Anne and Tom’s home and before you knew it the coffee pot was on and lunch was served. Anne and Tom sold their farm and moved into Yorkton into 1994. Anne's pride and joy were her family. She spent many hours reading to her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. At 94 years of age, she still loved to play scrabble and could beat anybody she played, she would even teach her great grandchildren to play. Anne was quiet, kind, and generous and had a sharp mind right until the end. We will miss you Mom and Grandma, Rest In Peace. Service Details.
