Simple Wonder, Peculiar Generosity: A Tribute to Annie Janzen

Annie Janzen earned no degrees and was never elected chair of a church council. She did not start a church, write a best-seller or perform for large audiences.

She did cook at Canadian Mennonite Bible College in Winnipeg for 27 years, travel the globe and make an unlikely diversity of friends. She lived a good, simple life. It was also a decidedly unconventional life.

Annie died in Winnipeg on Dec. 14 at the age of 91, after a brief stay in hospital following a stroke.
