__TOC__
Anne Wiebe: teacher, lay historian, writer, was born 1 July 1918 in [[Rosenthal (Chortitza Mennonite Settlement, Zaporizhia Oblast, Ukraine)|Rosenthal]], [[Ukraine]] to Abram Jacob Wiebe (23 March 1890, Bergmannstal, Ukraine–9 July 1967, [[Kitchener-Waterloo (Ontario, Canada)|Kitchener]], [[Ontario (Canada)|Ontario]]), a teacher at the [[Chortitza Zentralschule (Chortitza, Zaporizhia Oblast, Ukraine)|Zentralschule]] in [[Chortitza (Chortitza Mennonite Settlement, Zaporizhia Oblast, Ukraine)|Chortitza]], Ukraine and Anna Epp Wiebe (22 February 1890, [[Rosenthal (Chortitza Mennonite Settlement, Zaporizhia Oblast, Ukraine)|Rosenthal]], Ukraine–28 August 1970, Kitchener, Ontario). Anne was the oldest of four children, her siblings were Louise, Abram and Helen. Anne died on 28 March 2013 and is buried in Woodland Cemetery in Kitchener, Ontario.

In 1928 the Wiebe family immigrated to [[Canada]], settling first in [[Winkler (Manitoba, Canada)|Winkler]] and then in [[Gretna (Manitoba, Canada)|Gretna]], [[Manitoba (Canada)|Manitoba]]. Anne attended Winnipeg Normal School, 1936-1937 and then began her teaching career. From 1938 to 1945 she was an elementary school teacher in three different southern Manitoba towns: Schoenwiese, [[Gnadenthal (Manitoba, Canada)|Gnadenthal]] and Rosenfeld, Manitoba.

When her family moved to Kitchener, Ontario Anne went with them and continued her education there. At the same time as teaching, Anne studied at Waterloo Lutheran College, then affiliated with the University of Western Ontario from which she received a BA in 1951. She continued graduate studies at Columbia University while living in New York city and received a MA in History & German from that university in 1953.

Throughout her 35 years of teaching Anne taught mostly History and the German language in the following schools in Ontario: a senior high school in Windsor; at [[Eden Christian College (Virgil, Ontario, Canada)|Eden Christian College]] (also called Eden High School) in Virgil; at Galt Collegiate (1956-1957) and Glenview Park Secondary School (1957-1966), both located in the former city of Galt now part of Cambridge, Ontario; and at Waterloo Collegiate Institute (1967-1977). Anne retired from teaching in 1977.

History was Anne Wiebe’s passion; this was evident in her teaching. She frequently used slides from her travels to illustrate the topics she taught such as Ancient History. When Jim Quantrell retired after working for 26 years as the Cambridge city archivist, he told ''The Record'' newspaper reporter: “It was at Glenview where teacher Anne Wiebe’s stories of travelling to Europe to study ancient civilizations sparked his lifelong interest in history.” The archival sources in Kitchener state that, “Anne had great rapport with her students and she was honoured as a teacher several times [with awards].”

Anne’s other passions were recording and documenting family history, travelling, photography, baking and cooking. Having no children of her own, she spent a lot of time nurturing her brother Abram’s six children and later her grand-nieces and nephews. Many summers during her teaching career, she traveled with her sisters and friends to places such as [[Europe]], Ukraine, the Middle East, [[China, People's Republic of|China]], Australia, New Zealand and the Canadian Arctic. One of her notable recollections is of seeing the Great Wall of China, knowing that it was the only man-made structure visible from the moon.

The [[Kitchener Mennonite Brethren Church (Kitchener, Ontario, Canada)|Kitchener Mennonite Brethren Church]] was her church home. She also participated in the [[Mennonite Historical Society of Ontario]]. The [[Ontario Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches]] invited Anne to write the history of the Mennonite Brethren church in Ontario. This was an immense undertaking for which Anne did much research. She wrote nine chapters in all, beginning with how the Mennonite Brethren church came into being in 19th century Ukraine. She completed the manuscript in 1988. The manuscript was never published but several articles resulted from it, as seen in the bibliography below. The original copy of this manuscript is located in the archives of the Centre for Mennonite Brethren Studies in [[Winnipeg (Manitoba, Canada)|Winnipeg]].

Anne Wiebe was influential both in her career as a teacher and in her family. Her life and work were based on her Christian faith and an attitude of service to others.
