Anne Marie Doll

Anne Marie Doll (nee Fleckenstein) passed away peacefully on

January 24, 2015 at the age of 85 years old, surrounded by her family. Anne was one of twelve siblings born in Fox Valley, SK to Lukas & Rosa Fleckenstein. Early in her childhood, the family moved to Medicine Hat, Alberta, where Anne first entered the work force at MH Greenhouses. She traveled to Fairview, Alberta in 1950 to visit her sister, Christina, and while working for the Daniel Doll family, she met and eventually married Paul Doll. They farmed north of Fairview for the first few years of their life together and then relocated to the original Doll family farm in 1957. Anne was an industrious mother who raised three children, helped with life on the farm, ran her own small poultry business and, eventually went to work at the Fairview College for some fourteen years. She thoroughly enjoyed life at the Friedenstal farm, and took great pride in keeping their farm site pristine. She had many close friends in the community and at her work place in the college. Anne remained on the farm until 2004, when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer Disease. It was at that time her family relocated her to Canmore, Alberta, where she resided at the Golden Eagle View Care Facility, until her passing.

Anne was predeceased by her husband, Paul in 1986 as well as by her parents Lukas & Rosa Fleckenstein, three sisters, Christina, Lydia and Marlene and by three brothers, Lukas, Emmanuel and John. Surviving Anne are her three sons, Herbert (Linda), Albert (Fran) and Wilbert (Cathy), five grandchildren Cheryl, Cindy, Leslie, Curtis and Lucas and six great grandchildren.

The family would like to extend a sincere Thank You to all the medical staff involved over the years and especially to the staff at Golden Eagle View / Canmore Hospital.

Funeral Mass was celebrated on Saturday, September 26, 2015
