NOVINGER Martha Anne May 25, 1922 - May 17, 2006 It is with great sadness that we announce that our mother, Anne Novinger, died peacefully on Wednesday, May 17, 2006 at the Foothills Medical Centre. Anne was born in Montreal on May 25, 1922. She graduated with a degree in Library Sciences from McGill University before joining the WRENS in Halifax in 1943. Anne married the love of her life, Don, in 1948, and they shared fifty-five happy years of marriage. Anne and Don relocated to Calgary in 1965 with their family. Anne is survived by her five children, Mike (Fiona), Martha Faulkner (Bill), Barbara Cooper (Alan), Louise Novinger Grant (Bob Grant), Janet Lajeunesse (John); thirteen grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren. Anne is also survived by her brother, Brian How (Janet) of Ithaca, NY.; and predeceased by her brother, George How and her sister, Lorraine How. Anne was very involved with Christ Church Elbow Park, Calgary West Rotary Club, bridge, book club, golf, gardening, hiking and cross country skiing in the Kananaskis area. Anne loved spending time with her grandchildren and holiday celebrations with the entire Novinger family. We would like to thank the staff at Eau Claire Retirement Residence for their care over the past two years.
