Anne Popovitch of Lethbridge, beloved wife of the late Fred Popovitch, passed away peacefully, after a short illness, at Chinook Regional Hospital on Thursday, October 3, 2024, at the age of 92.

Anne was born in Lethbridge to Tony and Katherine Palychuk in 1932. She married her soulmate, Fred, in July of 1952 and remained happily and lovingly married to Fred until his passing in 2017.

Anne was always a loving, hard-working lady, both at home and in the workplace, where she exceptionally maintained her office management and bookkeeping skills until her retirement at the age of 70.  We are especially going to miss “Anne’s Bakery”, as Mom continued her passion of feeding her family and baking bread and goodies until early summer of this year.

Anne was predeceased by her father, Tony Palychuk, mother, Katherine Palychuk, brother, Vic Palychuk and sister, Florence Wilson.

Anne is survived by her loving son and daughter, David Popovitch and Michelle Sinclair (Joe), her cherished granddaughter, Jasmine Sinclair and her “adopted daughter”, Dannielle Skelding.  She is also survived by her sister, Vickie Ford, along with numerous adored nieces and nephews, great-nieces and nephews, great-great-nieces and nephews and her grand-cat-babies.

As per Anne’s wishes there will be no service. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made in Anne’s name to an animal rescue of your choice.

Thank you to the nurses, doctors and staff on floor 5A at Chinook Regional Hospital for the wonderful care and attention provided to our mother.
