ANDERSON, Yvonne Marie (nee Leibel)
December 8, 1952 – September 7, 2015

It is with great sadness that the family announces the sudden passing of our mother and grandmother, Yvonne Marie Anderson, on September 7, 2015 at her home in Calgary, Alberta. She will be truly missed and lovingly remembered by her children, Lisa (Ben) Sader, Jeff Anderson, and Dan Anderson, as well as her grandchildren Laura and Kiri Sader. Yvonne loved gardening, cooking, baking, spending time with her kids and grandkids, and took any opportunity to gather us all together for a homemade turkey dinner complete with a dozen (or more) side dishes and three kinds of pie. She was a devoted mother and grandmother who always put our needs before her own. We are so grateful to have made so many happy memories on our recent family vacation that we can cherish forever. She impressed us all with her determination to keep up with us on long hikes, scuba diving, and sampling the assortment of tequilas. Mom, Grandma Pickle, we will miss you forever and remember you often. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made directly to the Hospice Calgary Society (1245-70 Ave. S.E., Calgary, T2H 2X8). At the family’s request, there will be no funeral service. To send condolences, please visit Yvonne’s obituary at www.wheatlandfuneralhome.ca.
