HILDA ANDERSON ( nee PRUDEN ) Peacefully, after a lengthy battle with Alzheimer's Disease, it is with deep regret that we announce the passing of Hilda on December 21, 2006 at Heritage Lodge Nursing Home in Winnipeg, Manitoba. She celebrated her 90th birthday in September with family and friends. Remaining to forever cherish Hilda's memory are her daughters, Eydie Fraser, Marilyn Mcfarlane, Gail (Dennis) Kitzul, Winnie (John) Skrenski, Judy (Tom) Buchan; son Neil and daughters-inlaw, Joan Anderson and Carol Lutz. She is also survived by grandchildren, Gerry (Kathy), Kenny, Reggie, David and Jennifer Anderson, Tony, Dale (Susie) and Dan Fraser, Ric Kitzul, Cheryl (David) Williams, Kevin, Darren and Ryan Skrenski, Diana, Shauna and Debra Thompson and many great-grandchildren; two sisters, Gertrude Moar and Ileen (Irwin) Hayes and many nieces and nephews, relatives and friends. She was predeceased by her husband George (Shorty); sons, Alvin and Ron; parents Robert and Winnifred Pruden; brothers, Kenneth and Alex Pruden and brother-in-law Jimmy Moar. Hilda was born and raised in Kinnesota, Manitoba. She married George Anderson on July 31, 1935 and they lived in Bluff Creek, Manitoba until moving to Atikokan, Ontario in 1952. She had many achievements but her greatest one was raising her seven children. Hilda worked for many years at Leishman's Pharmacy in Atikokan. She was a lifetime member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 145, a member of the Hope Rebekka Lodge #364 and the Anglican Church of the Good Shepherd. She enjoyed volunteering her time working for these organizations. She also enjoyed fishing, bingo and playing cards. A memorial service will be held in Atikokan at a later date, where she will be laid to rest with her husband George (Shorty). A special thank you to the doctor, nurses and staff at the Heritage Lodge for their support and kindness given to Hilda and her family. The extra special care they gave to Hilda this last week meant so much to all of us. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Hilda's memory to the Alzheimer's Society or to the Atikokan General Hospital. PEACE Peace is not something you wish for; it's something you make, something you do, something you are, something you give away. Hilda's arrangements have been entrusted to the Family Owned Funeral Chapel of: WOJCIK'S ALL BELIEFS FAITHS FUNERAL CHAPEL CREMATORIUM 897 4665
