Mary Anne (nee Brinkman) Ramler of Humboldt, SK, (and formerly of Annaheim, SK), passed away at Humboldt District Hospital on Friday, July 28, 2017.  She was 89 years of age.  Mary was born on September 12, 1927, to Henry and Anna (nee Meyer) Brinkman at home on their farm in the Lake Lenore district. She was raised there and attended Solo School, which was located on her parents’ land.  On October 19, 1949, Mary married Urban Ramler in St. Anthony’s R.C.
