From the time Annemarie was born until the end of her life she was faced with trials of many kinds. With odds being stacked against her she courageously endured medical, spiritual, and physical adversity, all the while insisting she would be alright and worried more about her loved ones.
Annemarie was a very loving, sensitive, sympathetic and kind-hearted soul. The love she had for her daughters and granddaughter was immeasurable. She was always eager to hear about family news and loved being included in what was happening in the lives of her family and friends.
She would listen intently and would give honest advice that came from a place of love and understanding. Her daughters especially valued being able to openly talk with her.
Even though throughout her life her faith wavered and she was continuously tested, God would always bring her back to the right path. Her perseverance was an inspiration to her family and friends.
You may now finally have peace. You have touched many with the light of your soul and you will never be forgotten, Mom. We will love and cherish your memory forever.

BRETTON JAMES PRESTON HOPE 1976 – 2021 It is with profound sadness that the family of Brett (B.J.) Hope announce his sudden passing on September 23rd, 2021. Brett leaves to cherish his memory his grandmother, Phyllis Schneider; father, Bill Hope; his stepchildren, Tiahna and Josh Blaquiere; his sister, Nichole (Mark) Neubauer and their children Logan and Evie; sister, Bobbi (Rodney) Read and their children Tyson and Beau. He was predeceased by his mother, Linda (Sherwood) Hope.
Brett and Joanne Burns made a life together with their children Tiahna and Josh, in Redcliff, Alberta. As a family, they enjoyed camping, traveling to the mountains and spending time at the cabin at Elkwater. Brett was always up for backyard beers, with the promise of a good meal and entertaining stories that would be filled with his infectious giggle. Always a cheerleader, Brett loved attending sporting events featuring Tiahna, Josh, Logan and Evie. While Brett enjoyed watching hockey and football, he was an avid NASCAR fan and you could find him in front of the TV any given Sunday. Brett’s firm handshake was his trademark and he was great at building friendships with anyone who was lucky enough to cross his path.
Early in his career, Brett traveled extensively throughout the prairies working in the oil and gas industry. From there, he put in a good shift as a hired-hand at the Triangle Ranch in the Cypress Hills. This is where he developed a strong love for the land and formed a spiritual tie to this ranch that was never broken. He then transitioned to Landmark Feeds as a feed mill operator and thanks to his strong work ethic and charismatic personality, he was later promoted to the Regional Sales Coordinator with Trouw Nutrition.
Brett’s family plans to hold a private celebration of his life at a date in the future. Those who wish to remember Brett with a donation, may do so to “halo” c/o Southern Alberta Medic Air Society. (Please make cheques payable to Southern Alberta Medic Air Society). Condolences may be made at http://www.gracememorial.com. Arrangements are made by Grace Memorial Affordable Burial & Cremation
