ANNABELLE (TREIBER) VERMETTE

ANNABELLE (TREIBER) VERMETTE November 4th, 1925 September 7th, 2024
It is with heartfelt sadness that the family of Annabelle Vermette announces her passing after 98 years of a life well lived.

Annabelle was born on November 4th, 1925, in Warner, AB and passed away in Bow Island Long Term Care on September 7th, 2024. Mom was born into a farming family in the Goddard area. She had three sisters and one brother.

As a young adult, she attended Henderson Business School in Lethbridge and became a secretary for the RCMP.

Our dad, Alex Treiber, left the Schuler area to work as a grain buyer in Foremost. He befriended mom’s brother, Ray Collin and this is how the romance began. Mom and dad were married November 11th, 1951. She was a homemaker, raised their three children and worked as secretary for the Village of Foremost from home as there was no physical office at that time. We remember council meetings taking place around our kitchen table. In 1962, mom accepted the secretarial position at Foremost School where she worked for 25 years. Every kid in school knew Mrs. Treiber.

Mom belonged to many clubs and organizations over the years such as Community Club, Royal Purple and CWL. She had the distinction of being a CWL member for 70 years. She was a curler and gifted sewer making our clothes and quilts. Annabelle was an avid Blue Jays fan. She attended a game in Toronto for her 85th birthday. She loved travelling and especially all the camping trips with both sides of the family. If only the motorhome could talk! They winter holidayed in Mesa, AZ for a few years.

After the passing of our dad, mom moved to Medicine Hat. She then married a family friend, Emile Vermette. They had five good years together until Emile’s passing. At that time, mom moved into a condo and had many enjoyable years socializing and making new friends. Tony Shatz became a great companion for her. In 2014, mom decided it was time to move to the Pleasant View Lodge in Bow Island. Here she spent nine years enjoying the company of new and old friends and the excellent care of the staff.

Mom was a very petite lady and was the measuring stick for our children and grandchildren. The common phrase was, “I am taller than Grandma Annabelle now!”

Annabelle leaves to cherish her memory her son, Craig (Thelma) Treiber of North Battleford, SK; daughter, Carlene (Wayne Foss) of Foremost and their three children, Melanie (Jim Peterson), Cara (Lee Belcher) and Alissa; daughter, Adele (Craig Metheral) of Hilda and their four children, Jay (Kristy), Jordy (Tanya), Casey (Jennifer) and Trish (Josh Helman) and 13 great grandchildren.

She was predeceased by her parents, Joseph Fortunat and Florence Collin; her husband, Alex and grandson, Dalton Foss. Annabelle was the last remaining member of her family being predeceased by Marcelline, Melvina, Mary and Ray.

A private service will be held to lay our mom to rest in the Foremost Cemetery.

“Your mother is always with you. She’s the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street. She’s the smell of certain foods you remember, flowers you pick, the fragrance of life itself. She’s the cool hand on your brow when you are not feeling well. She’s your breath in the air on a cold winter’s day. She is the sound of the rain that lulls you to sleep, the colors of the rainbow, she is Christmas morning. Your mother lives inside your laughter. She’s the place you come from, your first home, and she’s the map you follow with every step you take. She’s your first love, your first friend, even your first enemy, but nothing on earth can separate you, not time, not space….not even death.” – unknown
