Anna "Anne" (Linton) Beerman

In Loving Memory of

Anna “Anne” Beerman

1919 – 2014

It is with sadness we announce the passing of Anna (Anne) Beerman on Monday, March 31, 2014 at 94 years of age at the Crocus Court Personal Care Home in Roblin, Manitoba.

Anna Linton was born on April 11, 1919 at Mendam, New Jersey, USA, the fourth of nine children born to Robert and Margaret Linton, who had emigrated from Ireland to Canada in 1912.  They met and were married in Winnipeg, Manitoba, living there for several years before moving to Mendham, where Anne's father was employed. When Anne was two years of age, the family returned to Canada to make their home on a farm in the Deepdale, Manitoba district.

Anne received her education in Deepdale and attended Sunday School at Sunnyslope.  After leaving school, she helped her family on the farm, and also worked as a domestic in the Deepdale district and later in Dauphin, Manitoba.

Anne was united in marriage to John (Jack) Beerman of the Makaroff district on December 18, 1943. in Dauphin.  Following their marriage, they took over the Beerman farm from Jack's father.  Jack and Anne were blessed with four children, Lenore, John, Brenda and Brian.

In 1973, Jack and Anne sold the farm and moved to Roblin. They enjoyed many happy times with family, friends and neighbors in their retirement years.

Anne was a devoted and loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grand mother.  She was also a kind and thoughtful sister, sister-in-law, aunt, friend and neighbor.

In 2011, Anne became a part of the community of Crocus Court Personal Care Home and remained there until her passing.

Anne was predeceased by her parents, Robert and Margaret Linton; her beloved husband Jack in 1997; her daughter-in-law Mary in 2004; and her son Brian in 2012. She was also predeceased by her sisters, Elizabeth Halvorson, Gladys Linton (as an infant) and Ruby Stinson, and her brothers David, Robert Jr., Matthew, William and Thomas Linton, as well as sister-in-law Bessie Charman, brothers-in-law, Philip Beerman, George Charman and Jack Stinson, nephew John Halvorson, as well as many neices and nephews and extended family.

Anne will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by her daughters Lenore (Glen) Matcyk of Chestermere, Alberta, and Brenda Beerman of Roblin, her son John Beerman of Roblin, as well as  granddaughters Lisa Matcyk of Airdrie, Alberta and Tanya (Gino) Demichele of Calgary, Alberta, and grandsons Brent (Nathalie) Beerman of Roblin, and Ryan (Coralie) Beerman of Roblin, great-grandchildren Emily and Alexander Demichele, Heidi Beerman, and Hailey, Levi, Sawyer and Sadie Beerman. She will also be remembered by sister-in-law Eileen Linton, and nieces, nephews and extended family.

HER JOURNEY'S JUST BEGUN

Don't think of her as gone away----

her journey's just begun,

life holds so many facets--

this earth is only one..

Just think of her as resting

from the sorrows and the tears

in a place of warmth and comfort

where there are no days and years.

Think how she must be wishing

that we could know today

how nothing but our sadness can

really pass away.

And think of her as living

in the hearts of those she touched....

for nothing loved is ever lost--

and she was loved so much.
