In 1936, she moved to London, England, where she met her future husband. They relocated to Saskatoon in 1948, then to Winnipeg in 1962 and finally to Saskatoon again in 2002. Anne was a very compassionate, caring, selfless and humble person. She particularly delighted in her grandsons and was a true friend to countless others. Her faith, strength of will, humour and intellect were the cornerstone of our family. She will be greatly missed. Donations in Anne's memory may be made to the Alzheimer's Society.
