MEGYESI: Anna
July 11, 1919 - February 20, 2014
The death of Mrs. Anna (nee Toth) Megyesi of Humboldt, SK, occurred at St. Mary's Villa, Humboldt, on Thursday, February 20, 2014. She was 94 years of age. Anna was born to Janos and Julis (nee Kovac) Toth, on July 11, 1919, in Duna Pentele, Hungary. In 1923, at the age of four, she immigrated to Canada with her family and they settled in the Wakaw area. Anna attended a country school not far from the family farm until Grade 8 and then she stayed home to help on the farm. On March 27, 1940, Anna married Steve Megyesi in the United Church at Wakaw. They resided on the Megyesi homestead and helped Steve's parents on the farm. Four children, two daughters and two sons, were born to them. Around 1950, after Steve's parents died, they took over the operation of the farm. In 1975, they semi-retired and moved into Humboldt. In February of 2005, Anna moved to Bethany Pioneer Village, Middle Lake, and for the last five years, resided at St. Mary's Villa. In her earlier years, Anna found great pleasure tending to her garden and flowers, as well as quilting, knitting and sewing. Other favorite pastimes over the years were watching television and listening to music. She loved old-time polka music, but especially delighted in listening to her children play music. Anna was a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Anna will be lovingly remembered by her three children, 11 grandchildren, and 24 great-grandchildren: LORI Humphrey (Noreen Gunn) of Vancouver, BC, and family, Curtis (Kristi) Humphrey and their children Mitchell and Megan, and Jason (Chad) Humphrey; DIANE Kirtzinger of Humboldt and family, Cory Kirtzinger and his children Jessica, Jordan, and Ethan, Tracy (Val) Kirtzinger and their children Amanda and Tanys, and Jeff (Debbie) Kirtzinger and their children Justin, Colton, Dillon, and Regan; and KEN (Diane) Megyesi of Cudworth and family, Scott (Kim) Megyesi and their children Kirk, Luke, Paige, and Kira, Darwin Megyesi, Waylon Megyesi (Karen), Ross (Nancy) Renneberg and their children Rachel (fiancé Matt) Rebecca, Mathias, and Catherine, Randy (Susan) Renneberg and their children Megan, Justin, and Lindsey, and Dean (Janelle) Renneberg and their children Joshua and Gavin.
