In Loving Memory of
ANNE WOROBEY Anne Worobey (nee Evanoff ), of Castlegar B.C., passed away peacefully at the Castleview Care Centre on Tuesday, June 24th 2014 at the age of 94, surrounded by her loving family. Anne was born near Biggar, Saskatchewan on March 14th, 1920 and grew up as a farm girl on the family homestead with her four brothers and two sisters. She lived briefly in San Francisco while her father, a metalsmith, built a metal organ there, before her family returned to rural Saskatchewan where they ran a thriving wheat farm through the Depression years. Anne married George Worobey in November of 1939, and the two were married for 66 years. The couple moved to Castlegar, in 1939, where they welcomed their son George, in 1940, and their daughter Patricia, in 1942. Starting in the 1950’s, Anne worked as a sales person at Eremenko’s store and then at the Eaton’s catalogue and sales office for many years. She had a ‘green thumb’ and long before organic farming became fashionable, she cultivated the most vibrant vegetable and flower gardens imaginable as well as a beautiful rock garden at her home on Arrow Lakes Drive. Our dear Anne made everyone welcome in her lovely home. Any visitor, family member, or friend was treated to the most delicious food. Anne was an excellent cook and will be remembered for her wonderful vareniki and succulent borscht - invariably served, to the bewilderment of those enjoying it, with copious self-criticism and regret. She loved to walk everywhere and every day, often with her dogs Freckles and Blackie. Anne was fiercely devoted to her family and her greatest delight was her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She was also actively involved in charity work and volunteered into her 90’s through the Castlegar and District Hospital Auxiliary Society Treasure Shop and Talarico Place. In 1995, she was recognized as Castlegar’s Citizen of the Year by the Castlegar Kiwanis Club. Anne is survived by her sister Alice; son George; grandchildren Lisa, Paul, Daniel, Teresa, David, Michael, Blair, and Daryl; great-grandchildren Clint, Alex, Nick, Nathan, Noah, Clare, Hazel, Iris, Kate, and Maresa; and other family and friends. Anne was predeceased by her husband George and her daughter Patti. Losing her beloved Patti in 1998 was the greatest sorrow of Anne’s life. The family is extremely thankful for the very special care Anne received at Castleview Care Centre for the last year of her life. She made many friends while there who will miss her way of lifting spirits with her hugs and dancing to the very end. Vincenzo Antignani and Yvonne Magee shared a special bond of love with Anne. A special thanks to the medical staff of the Castlegar Emergency and especially Dr. Ankenbauer for the compassionate and expert medical attention provided to our mother and granny for the last years of her life. Also, to the many friends that visited Anne and helped her on a regular basis as she struggled for the last 5 years of her life. It was very much appreciated and will be remembered. Donations in her memory can be made to the Castlegar and District Hospital Auxiliary Society at the Treasure Shop on 11th Ave. in Castlegar. At her request there will be no formal memorial service; however, Anne’s life will be celebrated with family and friends in October of this year and her ashes will be placed on the Evanoff family farm in Saskatchewan, her favourite place in the world.
This beautiful feisty lady will be missed by all the people whose lives she touched.
