Anna Fast (nee Olfert) age 102 years of age passed away peacefully with her families at her bedside at Bethesda Personal Care Home of Steinbach, Manitoba on Friday June 17th, 2011. Anna was born November 8, 1908 at Wymark, Saskatchewan and was the 3rd child of 15. She is predeceased by her parents Franz and Elizabeth Olfert, her first husband Peter Giesbrecht after 47 years of marriage and her second husband George Fast after 16 years of marriage. She is also predeceased by 10 brothers and sisters and is survived by sisters Helen, Mary, and Nettie and brother Jake. From her first marriage she was predeceased by sons Tony and Frank and daughter Norma and survived by daughter Barbara, several grandchildren and great grandchildren. From her second marriage she is survived by her step family, Harold and Nettie Fast, Milton and Gladys Fast, Henry Fast, Vern and Edith Fast, Grace and Clarence Kliewer, Ernie and Elfrieda Reimer and families. Anna was baptized into the membership of the Sommerfeld Mennonite Church in 1928 at the age of twenty. In 1955 she joined the Tabor General Conference of Mennonites church. It was in Tabor through the ministry of the Free Church that for the first time she believed that Jesus died for her sins and rose again so that she might be forgiven and have everlasting life. When she moved to Kleefeld in 1977 she joined the Evangelical Mennonite Church, the church of her husband George Fast. But it wasn’t until she became a resident of Bethesda Personal Care Home in 1993 that she could say with confidence, “I am a child of God by the grace of God that I have received in Jesus.” The family thanks everyone for the condolences and thanks the staff and residents of Bethesda Personal Care home for their care and friendship over the many years it was her residence. The funeral service will be at Birchwood Funeral Chapel, Monday, June 20th, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. with interment at Kleefeld EMC Cemetery.
