Ben Anderst went peacefully to meet his Saviour on October 17, 2017 with his family at his side.
Ben was born in Linacre, Saskatchewan on March 4, 1928, to Rosie and Dan Anderst. Ben worked with his father drilling water wells and spent his spare time working on his Harley. When he left home, he decided to pursue mechanics and farming. In 1952, he met his wife, Jean Wessner and they were married on July 2, 1954. They started their life and family together in Medicine Hat, they made their home and raised their family in Morse, Saskatchewan, and finally returned to Medicine Hat for their retirement years.
He is survived by his beloved wife, Jean Anderst of Medicine Hat as well as his children, Coleen (Vic) Klassen of Airdrie, and Grant (Melanie) Anderst of Medicine Hat; great granddaughter, Vanessa (Jason) Smith and their family; two sisters, Esther Krause of Calgary and Martha Schmidt of Medicine Hat as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his brother, Irvine and one sister, Leona Wadosky. Ben will always be remembered and cherished for his kind and gentle spirit and wonderful sense of humour.
