We Remember

WAHL, Anne Lizet
—
Our hearts are heavy as we say goodbye for now to a beloved Mom, Ooee (grandmother) and fabulous friend, Anne Wahl, who left us on September 7, 2025. She left this world surrounded by love, leaving behind a legacy of strength, resilience, and kindness that will never be forgotten.
Anne was a woman of quiet courage and unwavering determination. Life gave her many challenges, but she faced every one of them with grace and fierce strength, never letting hardship define her. Known for her fiery spirit and strong mind, she lived life on her own terms and was never afraid to speak her truth.
She was more than just strong – she was a fighter. But she was also thoughtful and full of warmth to those she loved, and she was not afraid to tell them if they were being a knucklehead. Geez Louise~ and what a sense of humour. Her strength never overshadowed her softness, and her presence left an imprint on every life she touched.
Anne is survived by her daughter Samantha (Steve) and her “Peanut” & granddaughter Angelina; her son, Shawn; and her siblings Rita, Vicki, Valerie, Roland (Debbie), and Ted (Vicky) – who will continue to honour her by living with the same courage, and strength she did.
Her late husband, Erhardt Wahl, being the gentleman he was, will be waiting for her at the gates of heaven with open arms, along with her mother, Alma Anette Ozolins, and her sister Ritma.
Though our hearts are heavy, we take comfort in knowing that her love lives on within us, a flame that will never be extinguished, especially in her daughter Samantha and granddaughter, Angelina.
Mom, you were our rock. Thank you for fighting so hard for us and for showing us what it means to live with strength and love. And thanks for all the amazing meals – cooking was your forte and dinners will never be the same again~ there will be many lucky angels. Most of all, you will be forever missed by your two “gerls”, forever loved, and never forgotten by many.
We will gather to celebrate her life on FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2025, at 10:00 AM (PDT), at SPRINGFIELD FUNERAL HOME, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC. A reception will be held following the service. Interment will take place at 1:30 PM, at Kelowna Memorial Park Cemetery,1991 Bernard Ave, Kelowna, BC.

SPRINGFIELD FUNERAL HOME
Her friend circle sends love and light to Samantha, Angelina and Steve and to all her family. She kept us giggling and we will miss her madly.
To the family, our heartfelt condolences. Anne was our neighbor, just above us on Arthur Court, for many years. She (and Erhardt) often spoiled us with items from their garden and kept us abreast of the goings on in the ‘hood. Anne willl be remembered fondly as an incredibly strong woman and we will miss her feistiness, dark sense of humor, and her “can do” attitude.
Our sincere condolences to you Sam, Angelina, and Steve. Annie meant so much to us. We will fondly remember her in so many ways, like playing Mexican Train, her German Cabbage, Key Lime Pie, beautiful heart, and quick wit. Three years ago, for our wedding, we wanted to use flower petals as confetti to throw as we walked out. Annie collected and dried, I’m sure, over a hundred flowers to help make this vision a reality. She even spent time at Bylands and snuck some flowers home to dry to ensure we had enough flower confetti. She told us she was so scared she was going to get caught- haha! It stills makes me laugh. She cared so deeply for everyone around her. While Annie is our parents’ best friend, she was and will always be more like family, and will be missed as such. I hope you find strength in each other at this time and know you have a fierce guardian angel watching over you.
