She grew up most of her life in Sherwood, ND and graduated grade 12 in Pullman, WA. An Achilles tendon injury from a high dive disqualified her from joining the Navy, so Mom set off to start a new life. AnnaBelle married Jim Peebles on February 20, 1962 and moved to Canada. She became a Canadian Citizen on June 21, 1971. Mom and Dad lived in a few small towns in Saskatchewan, with most of the time being in Craven and Findlater. She has lived in Regina the past 16 years.

AnnaBelle has had a few different jobs over the years, such as retail, seamstress, Home Care worker, camp cook in Northern Saskatchewan, market gardens, and house cleaning.

Mom was a very hard working, creative and giving person. In the spirit of giving, she has donated her body to the University of Saskatchewan, College of Medicine. A Celebration of AnnaBelle’s Life will be held at Speers Family Centre, 2333 Cornwall Street, Regina, SK on Monday, July 22, 2019 at 1:00 p.m. Interment at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donation may be made to a charity of your choice.
