Anne was a victim of the Polio Epidemic and became a quadraplegic at the age of 17. She spent many years at the King George Hospital in Winnipeg. When mother moved to Winnipeg in the 1960s Anne went to live with her. Mother took care of Anne until her passing in 1995. In 2002 she moved to Riverview Health Centre where she resided until her passing. Anne was a strong willed person and a fighter to the end. She never let her handicap get in her way and especially enjoyed her regular trips to the shopping malls.
