Annie D. Walter

It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister and friend. Annie D. Walter, 83, of Prairie Elk Colony passed away peacefully, into the loving arms of her Savior Jesus on March 5, 2025 with her family by her side.

Annie was born on July 19, 1941 to Darius and Rebecca Hofer at Cranford, AB. She lived at the Lakeside Colony for 15 years. She then moved to Walsh, AB where she lived until she married the love of her life, Darius, on June 14, 1964. Together they raised 9 children at Surprise Creek Colony. She resided there until 2006, she then moved to Prairie Elk Colony, near Wolf Point, MT, in June 2006 where she resided until her passing.

Mom was a hard worker all her life. No task was too hard for her. Mom loved to cook, garden, sew, and knitting was her favorite hobby. Mom’s grandchildren and great grandchildren were the joy of her life. Mom was a people person and enjoyed company.

Mom loved to go for rides with Dad, to look at the crops and in the summertime, she loved to sit outside and soak up the sun. She missed Dad terribly when he passed away.

Mom also leaves to mourn her many friends and extended family.
