She was the light of our lives, our angel who taught us to care and the glue that bonded us together. Since she was diagnosed with cancer in late 2003 she showed enormous strength and courage and was an inspiration to us all with her unconquerable spirit and passion for life. Anne’s greatest pleasure in life was family. Throughout her life she devoted a great deal of time, love and consideration to her parents, sisters, brothers, children and grandchildren. One of her favorite pastimes was gardening, she took great pride in keeping her yard like a park. Anne was happiest when she was outdoors enjoying nature. We will never forget the many camping trips to the mountains, trips home to Manitoba and vacations we took together. Since her retirement Anne spent many hours volunteering with the Ladies Auxiliary at the church. She enjoyed the fellowship and support of many friends at St.Andrews. She is survived by her husband Morris, her son Ted and wife Barb; her daughter Cheryl and husband Kerry; and three grandchildren Kyle, Brenden and Trina. She is also survived by nine sisters Liz (Michael), Evelyn (Maurice), Ollie, Alice, Ellen, Phyllis (Fred), Darlene, Terry (Christian), Jacquie (Wayne) and three brothers Johnny, Steve and William (Josephine); brother-in-law James, as well as one aunt, uncles and many nephews and nieces.
