Anetis was born in Hankinson, ND on September 14,1930 to Robert and Ottilie (Medenwaldt) Hartleben. She graduated from Hankinson High School in 1948.  After high school, she taught country school for one year in Elma Twp. ND.  On June 29, 1949, she married the love of her life, Harold Pohl, at St. John's Catholic Church in Rosholt. Harold and Anetis operated a farm in Greendale Twp. for three years and then moved back to the home place in Victor Twp. in 1952. They were blessed with 11 children - Steve, Gerry, Sue, Jeanne, Greg, Dennis, Curt, Doug, Kristi, Donovan, and Marti.

Anetis spent a great deal of her life raising children and then assisting with her grandchildren whom she loved dearly.  She was an excellent cook and loved her huge garden. She always had fresh produce or canned goods for her children to take back with them after our visits to the home place.  (We are all still trying to replicate her pickle recipe.) She also loved to travel and never turned down an adventure.  No roller coaster was too much for her and one of the fondest memories is her zip lining when she was 80 years old.  Most of all she loved the time spent with her friends and family.

Anetis was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, who loved her family dearly, above all she loved her Lord. Even as her mind faded, she still loved singing gospel music.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks memorials be directed to the Rosholt Ambulance Fund or St. John's Catholic Church.
