It was in 1950 that she married Pete Schellenberg of Gladstone, Manitoba; together they raised two children, a son Rod and a daughter Barbara. She kept herself busy as a homemaker and in raising her children. It was at this time that she made a personal commitment to the Lord. She loved singing and sang in several choir groups and was active in the local ladies church group. She was a founding member of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Manitoba Agricultural Museum. In 1975, having sold the farm, she bought a dress shop in MacGregor, Manitoba. In 1977 the entire family moved to Endiang, Alberta and in 1978 she earned her real estate license. In 1986 Anne’s time was spent caring for Barbara who passed away in 1989 after a lengthy illness.
