Annie will be missed deeply by her loving sons Tim (Jackie), Trevor (Janelle) and Todd (Sara); her grandchildren Amanda (Justin) Dieno, Dustyn Hordos, Aria Hordos, Hayden Hordos, Liam Hordos, and Zane Hordos; her great grandchildren Denae and Kason Dieno; and her sister Linda Kuli Annie was born on August 30, 1940 and raised in Essex County, Ontario. She was the oldest daughter born to John and Rose Kuli. She had one brother, John, and two sisters, Linda and Judy. Linda and Judy would always talk about how they looked up to their big sister, admiring how she dressed and how she set her hair. Despite the distance between them, Anne would always keep in touch with her family – you all know what I mean… I’m sure there have been a few times when you have tried to call her, and the line would be busy. She loved to keep in touch, talking to her friends and family on a regular basis. She was definitely the link between Ontario and Saskatchewan, always knowing what was going on in everyone's lives. While we often rely on technology such as Facebook, she preferred to hear your voice. When it came to friends and family that had already passed on, she often brought them up in conversation. Obviously always on her mind. One of Anne’s first jobs was working in the tobacco fields. Shortly after starting on this new path, she met and began dating a man by the name of Joe Unhoser. They were eventually married. This union was cut short however, as Joe was in a tragic car accident, and he didn’t survive. In the Fall of 1965, Anne was invited to visit family in the Punnichy area. She decided to venture to Saskatchewan, and see what the prairies were all about. It was during this visit that she met John. Through the grapevine, and some talk amongst neighbours, John heard that there was an available young lady visiting from Ontario. He was interested in seeing what all the talk was about, so he went to where she was staying to meet her. This is where Annie first laid eyes on her tall, dark-haired Hungarian. They courted for a couple of months, Anne even moving in with Aunty Vicky and Uncle Steve, before heading back home. John had taken quite a liking to Annie, and went to visit her and her family in Ontario at Christmas time that year – and we all know what it took to get John to travel! After a few more days together, and after meeting Annie’s family, the two were definitely smitten. While sitting in Annie’s parents front room, Annie popped the question, asking John to marry her. Of course he said “Yes!” They were married for 49 years, before John passed away in 2015. John and Annie started their life out on their farm, just south of Quinton. This is where they were blessed with three beautiful sons. Timothy John was born in 1967, Trevor Joseph in 1976 and Todd Jonathan soon after in 1977. All three boys were always there to help Annie out when she needed it, always dependable and willing to lend a hand. Tim, Trevor and Todd are all happily married, giving Annie a total of six grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. Annie’s grandkids were her pride and joy, and she enjoyed talking about them to anyone who would listen. John and Annie moved to Wynyard in 1983. This is where they would settle for good, calling Wynyard home. Annie enjoyed listening to polka music, playing card games with friends, coffee visits at the bakery, colouring, doing word search and cross word puzzles, and just generally being around friends and family. She loved talking on the phone, and leaving messages – I know we’ll miss hearing her voice on the answering machine telling us, “No message.” We’ll miss the smell of her freshly made donuts, eating her cabbage rolls and scuffles, and hearing her muttering Hungarian words when she didn’t want us to understand what she was saying. Most of all, we will miss the lovable person that she was. Her face would light up when her family was around, and to hear her belly laugh was something that would always make you smile. Annie always had the ability to love people for who they were, teaching her boys to be strong and respectful. She left her friends and family with memories that will always be cherished. As author Helen Keller once said, “What we have once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes a part of us.” Donations in memory of Annie may be made to Westview Lodge, Wynyard, Saskatchewan.
