Obituary of Anneliese Ursula Elsbeth Hannouche

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Anne (nee Kuhne), wife, mother, grandma, great grandma, and friend. In the early morning of July 7, at home, Anne passed peacefully, with her husband of 40 years, at her side. Though Anneleise was born in Bergen, Germany, in 1934, she had a great love for Canada, the country she called home for almost 70 years. She immigrated to Montreal, in 1954, where she started her family and helped run a horse camp. She moved to Calgary in 1980, with husband Saad, and began to work as a teaching assistant with the Calgary Public School Board. Anne loved working with children. After their retirement in 2000, Anne and Saad moved to the house they had built themselves, on Columbia Lake, in Fairmont, making it their full-time home.  

Anne has left behind her husband Saad, daughters Birgit and Kris (Brian), grandchildren: Kirsty, Amber, Sam (Rachel), Jo (Sander), great grandchildren Sammie and Jules, brother Hank (Karen) and sister Babbel. She is predeceased by her mother Ursula. 

Anne planned many great adventures when her grandchildren came to visit in the summers. Her other passion was gardening, as she loved trees, flowers and all things in nature. Anne was a lover of all animals, big or small, but especially horses.  

Anne will be greatly missed. If you would like, donations in Anne’s name could be made to your local Humane Society.
