PATER, Anna Johanna Pater
With grateful hearts for a life beautifully lived, and with deep sadness at her unexpected passing, we share that Anna Johanna Pater was welcomed into the loving arms of her Heavenly Father on July 22, 2026.

Deeply loved by her family, Anna was fiercely devoted to her family and faithfully committed to her Savior throughout her life. She will be remembered, by all who had the joyous pleasure of knowing her as a kind generous human, who helped anyone in need. Her home and heart were always open, welcoming family, friends, and all who crossed her path with a warm smile and laugh.

As a devoted wife to Albert, who preceded her in death in 2023, Anna carried their love in her heart every day. She was predeceased by her parents, Henk & Janny Ryper (2018 & 2025), and her brother, Henry (1991). Anna is survived by her children Mike (Sarah), Leah, and Keith; grandchildren Evan (Erica), Ty, Zachary, Samantha, Jordan and Jeremy; and Amber (Gary) and their children who became family. Additionally, Anna leaves behind a very large circle of beloved siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Though her earthly journey has come to an end, the love she gave, the faith she lived, and the lives she touched will continue to echo through generations. She leaves behind a legacy of love that time cannot diminish. Anna will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
