Frank Eberle
July 19, 1938 – April 14, 2018

Frank Eberle of the Annaheim District passed away on Saturday, April 14, 2018 at the Humboldt District Hospital, Humboldt, SK. He was 79 years of age. Frank was born in Spalding to Joseph and Augusta (nee Boese) Eberle on July 19, 1938.  He attended Hat Creek Country School for 8 years.  Frank then worked for his dad on the farm and other farmers in the area when they needed a helping hand.  One winter he went to Edson, Alberta to work in a lumber camp; but his passion was the farm. He took over the farm in 1963 with his dad helping him.  They also raised pigs, cows, and chickens.  That same year he met his life partner Judy Tonnies.  They were married February 6, 1965 and have resided at the family farm ever since.  They just celebrated their 53rd wedding anniversary. Frank was a great outdoorsman; he enjoyed farming, hunting and fishing with many trophies on display.  He loved when his grandchildren came to visit and would stay overnight especially because they were a great reason for an afternoon nap.  He could build and fix anything.  “If Frank could not fix it, it was broken.”  Frank continued farming with his son Dwight, helping him until Dwight took over full time, with Frank now being the helping hand.  Even with his health deteriorating he still climbed up in the combine this past fall.  In the hospital, Frank was still giving Dwight farming advice.  Frank will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his wife Judy (nee Tonnies) Eberle; their children: Sheila (Dave) Lefebvre and family Justin (Steph) and Jarvis; Dwight (Lori) Eberle and family Brittany and Travis; Tracy (Kent) Rueve and family Taylor, Bryce, Kalvin and Ethan; brother Ed (Lucille) Eberle of Humboldt; sister-in-law Adelaide Eberle of Edmonton; numerous nieces, nephews, extended family; and members of the Tonnies family. Frank was predeceased by his parents Joseph and Augusta (nee Boese) Eberle; brothers and sisters: Gary Eberle, Len (Lea) Eberle, Werner (Lillian) Eberle, Joe Eberle Jr., Else (Allan) Farncombe, Marga (Frank) Kager, Hilde Eberle, Nora (Hubert Bley) (Leo Harder), Edna (Arnie) Rediger; and parents-in-law William and Sophie Tonnies.  A Funeral Mass was offered at St. Ann’s Roman Catholic Church, Annaheim, SK. on Friday, April 20, 2018 at 10:30 a.m., presided by Fr. Augustine Osei-Bonsu.  Others taking part were: Ethan Rueve, crossbearer; Justin Lefebvre and Taylor Rueve, scripture readers; Kent Rueve and Sheila Lefebvre, intentions; Jarvis Lefebvre, Travis Pfeil, Bryce Rueve, and Brittany Pfeil, giftbearers; Justin Lefebvre and Taylor Rueve, eulogists; Kalvin Rueve, urnbearer; Trina Lefebvre and Steph Pidkowich, memorial table attendants.  Music ministry was provided by organist Lorraine Holtvogt and members of the St. Ann’s Parish Choir.   Interment will be held at a later date.
