September 10, 1926 – March 8, 2023

On March 8, 2023 with much love, we said Good-bye to our Mother Winifred Mayhew Pedersen (Anderson). Wyn was born on September 10, 1926 to Winifred Mary Anderson (Mayhew) and Jack Edward Anderson in Winnipeg and moved to BC in the 1930’s.

Wyn is predeceased by her parents, her husband Pete (Harold) and her sister Eileen Darlington (Anderson).

Wyn is survived by 1 son, Kris Pedersen (Margaret), and 3 daughters, Dawn Devlin (Ron), Lynda Bowors (Mike) and Laura Ansley; 12 Grandchildren: Scott, Tanya, Deanne, Karl, Terese, Doug, Todd, Melanie, David, Zachary, Skylar, Tahawnie: 18 Great Grandchildren: Tyson, Tanner, Tessa, Isaiah, Talia, Benji, Chase, Hudson, Emma, Carter, Daniel, Ethan, Jayden, Isaac, Sophia, Emily, Emma, Zenaida.

Wyn was a gifted person, a Mother/Wife/Grandmother/Care giver first but she was also an Artist, following in her father’s path, with watercolours and oil paints – she has passed this gift on to some of the Grands. Wyn loved music, her father was a musician and she appreciated all music but especially Country and Gospel…. She would often be spotted humming along to a tune while doing her chores. Her many crafts of sewing, knitting, crochet, tatting & painting have been taught and passed on to the next generations.

Wyn and Pete cared for 38 foster children in their time together while raising their own children. Wyn was a devoted Christian that supported her own Community and knitted garments faithfully for Missions for years.

Wyn was quiet and private, strong, and dependable, full of love and support, we miss her!
Thank you to all of the Staff and Caregivers at Red Deer Hamlets for your excellent care of our Mom!
