WOLFF - Mrs. Anna (nee Skarzynska). Anna was born in Warsaw to an old family of Polish nobility. Persecuted during the Second World War, she joined the Polish Resistance movement as a young girl. As a member of AK (the underground army), she actively participated in the 1944 Warsaw Uprising. The post war years of Communist rule proved particularly difficult for her, but she learned to act with patience and grew up with perseverance. Anna emigrated to Canada in 1962 and, because she knew the French language, she first settled in Montreal. In 1978, she moved to Calgary, quickly overcoming the difficulties of the English language and entered the real estate business. She proved talented, hard-working and personable. She earned great professional success working till the end, maintaining highest professional standards, always adding great personal charm to whatever she did. Anna was a member of the Progressive Conservative party. An avid swimmer, golfer and fitness fan, she was also a member of the Calgary Glencoe Club, and was interested in social bridge. All her life she kept active, and will be remembered for her energy, integrity, cheerfulness and love of life. "Spij Anno w Pokoju Wiecznym!" She is survived by her sister Maria Meers; brother-in-law Joe Meers; nephew Paul Ruminski and wife Hanna, and children, Lukasz, Tomasz and Malinka; and cousin Zula Blendowska. From her Colleagues: Anna was consistently a top performer at Century 21 Bamber Realty for the past three years. She was a pleasure to be around and work with; her zest for life and sense of humor were contagious, and she will be greatly missed. She went through some tough economic times during her long career, but she came out on top. Her success was well deserved because of her incredible work ethic, integrity and attention to her clients' needs. Everyone who met Anna loved her right away and respected her. Prior to her three years at Century 21 Bamber, she worked for a short time at Century 21 New Bar Realty and prior to that, for approximately ten years, was at Boardwalk Realty.
