Annwin Sather Obituary

Sather
ANNWIN (BORCHERT) SATHER
March 7, 2019
On Thursday March 7th, Annwin Sather passed away, or in her words, "snapped off the twig".
Annwin silently and anonymously helped many people in our community. She may have helped you, or at least someone you know. Annwin supported many charities but preferred what can only be described as "Guerrilla Philanthropy" by helping people directly, silently and unconventionally. This obituary could easily fill this entire page of newsprint, but we were instructed/threatened by her to keep it short.
Not only did she help others, she also showed by example how to be kind and enjoy life to the fullest. Annwin was strong willed with a stronger character. Everyone has a great "Annwin story". She was an extraordinary Wife, Mother and Grandmother.
Annwin was the daughter of Paul and Niente Borchert and sister of Renny Borchert. She is survived by her children Pauline and Mark and three beloved grandchildren. She was the surrogate mother to every employee of LVW Electronics.
A celebration of Annwin will take place at a date to be determined. There will be bottles of Coors Light.

Just learned that Annwin "transitioned". We met in 1st grade at Cheyenne Mt. School. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

So very sad to hear of Annwin's passing! I was very fortunate to have known her for well over 20 years, she was one of the most genuine and caring people I have known and she will be missed by many but never forgotten!

My sincere condolences to the family,
Christina
