THOMAS, Annie (nee Romaniuk) March 30, 1926 - March 21, 2011 Annie Thomas (nee Romaniuk) of Edmonton, passed away on Monday, March 21, 2011 at the age of 84 years. Annie was born in Edmonton where she became a very active member of Beulah Alliance Church for fifty years. Her powerful and living faith informed every aspect of her life. She was unwavering in her devotion to and belief in the Lord and she met every one of life's challenges with courage and grace. She worked for CN Rail as an investigator for many years but her true passion was her family, friends, her garden, cooking, socializing and entertaining. Friends and family would often drop in unannounced but never unwelcome. Her weekly brunches with friends were an ongoing and important part of her life. Her amazing ability as a cook and baker was demonstrated daily with elaborate and delicious meals produced seemingly effortlessly. Annie loved to travel and went on over twenty cruises with family ranging from Alaska to Europe and beyond. Every spring Annie would begin work anew on her planning her magnificent backyard garden, lovingly planting and tending the flowers. Annie was an extremely humble, gentle and compassionate woman. Her grace, dignity, kindness and love affected all those fortunate enough to enter her life. Annie is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Brenda and Charlie; son and daughter-in-law, David (Boicuk) and Frances and their sons, Noah and Erwang. She is also survived by her sisters, Mary Piska and Alice Romaniuk; sister-in-law Nancy Romaniuk; and numerous nieces and nephews and extended family and friends. Annie was predeceased by her mother Nettie; father Daniel; and brother Alec Romaniuk. Special thanks go to the amazing, loving, compassionate staff at the Mount Royal Care Center, Calgary, where Annie resided for the last four years of her life. Annie loved flowers and floral tributes would be dearly welcomed.
