Anna Katherine Harder

Anna Katherine Harder (May 10, 1976 to November 10, 2023) Anna Katherine Harder, our much loved daughter and sister, passed away quietly on November 10, 2023 at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center. Born in American Falls, Idaho, Anna moved with her family to Quincy, Washington in 1984 where she spent the remainder of her childhood. After graduating high school, she attended Northland Baptist Bible College in Dunbar, WI where she graduated summa cum laude in 1999 with a degree in Home and Family Management. After graduating, she returned to Northland as the Secretary to the Registrar, a role she faithfully and excellently fulfilled for the next twelve years. In 2011, Anna moved to Corvallis, Oregon to care for her grandmother, Wilma Toevs. For the next nine years, Anna was her faithful and steadfast companion, first at home and for the final three years at Willamette Springs Memory Care Community. Shortly before Wilma passed away in March of 2020, Anna was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer. For the past three and a half years, Anna faced the ravages of both cancer and its treatments, with quiet grace and strength. Through its darkest days, her steady faith in God gave her assurance that however the fight would end, her eternity was sure. As her final days drew near, she delighted to spend time with those who were able to be with her, still reading Dr. Seuss to her nieces and nephews. She is survived by her parents, Gene and Marcia Harder of Quincy, Washington. Her siblings: John and Abbey Harder, Erica and RJ Krystowiak, Stephen and Kristina Harder, David and Martha Harder, Jacob and Katie Harder, Elise and Caleb Gillespie and Cerena Harder, as well as twenty-one nieces and nephews. Extended family and friends around the world also join with us as we miss her quiet gentle spirit, her quick step and smile, her willingness to roll up her sleeves and join in the task at hand, and her ready ear to listen. A public memorial service will be held at 3pm on December 2, 2023 at McHenry Funeral Home in Corvallis, Oregon. We welcome all who knew her and are able to attend to join us at that time.
