NIEBRUGGE:
It is with great sadness the family announces that Mrs. Anne Niebrugge (nee Kainer), 69 years of Humboldt, passed away on Monday, January 28, 2013 with her family by her side. Anne was born on July 25, 1943 to Michael and Helen (nee Einsiedler) Kainer in the Bruno District. Anne attended Kildrum School, high school in Saskatoon, St. Ursula's Academy and graduated from St. Elizabeth's Hospital School of Nursing in 1964. It was at a dance at Stony Lake where Anne met the love of her life Reynald Niebrugge. After a short courtship they were married on July 3, 1965 at St. Bruno R.C. Church. Together they began their 36 year career of farming in the Fulda area. Anne worked side by side with her husband throughout their time on the farm. They were blessed with three beautiful daughters of whom they were proud. Anne continued to work at St. Elizabeth's Hospital until 2007 when she retired. In 1990 she also began casual employment at Bethany Pioneer Village and then worked at both facilities until retirement. Anne was a very dedicated, patient, gentle and caring nurse who loved her position of serving people in need. Anne was always busy helping someone. Her large beautiful flower beds and vegetable gardens were manicured to perfection every row was straight and not a weed to be found anywhere. Anne also loved sewing and creating tasty dishes for her family especially her buns and bread. Faith and family were number one in her life, she was a wonderful grandma and always made time for birthdays and gatherings. She was active in sports and enjoyed curling and golfing. Volunteering came easy for Anne. She was very active with the St. Augustine CWL and St. Elizabeth's Ladies Auxiliary. Moving to Humboldt in 2001 Reynald and Anne enjoyed camping with their family and traveling to warm destinations in the winter with their very good friends.
