Mrs. Tanape was born March 6, 1936, at Nanwalek.
She lived in the area all her life. She worked at the English Bay Store and the
English Bay School as a cook.
She was a member of St. Sergius and St. Herman
Orthodox Church. She enjoyed fishing in all seasons and weather, bingo and pull
tabs.
The family wrote, "First of all, Annie Tanape
was a devoted wife full of romance and love for her husband, Herman Tanape. She
expressed her love for her seven children, their partners, grandchildren and
great-grandchildren, four sisters, friends and local village children through
story telling, jokes, laughing and smiles. Annie was a wonderful elder teacher
for subsistence food gathering and preservation techniques for our Suqpiuq
Native people and children.
"When she was playing bingo and pull tabs she
stated, 'It keeps my right hand in shape for fishing,' after her stroke. All
will surely miss Annie for we loved her greatly. May her memory be eternal."

father and mother, Timothy and Anesia Ukatish; sister, Nadia Tanape; brother,
