Anne was born in Bergen op Zoom, Holland, met her husband John during the Second World War and moved to Winnipeg in 1945. Anne and her Johnny' had many happy years together, spending time at the cottage or at home with their family and close friends, and traveling to many places - especially to visit her family in Holland. A deep, loving commitment to her daughter, grandchildren and great-grandchild was the primary characteristic and gift of Anne's life. In addition, she loved politics, sports, animals, a good drink and a good conversation. Passionate, independent, involved, caring and loving, Anne will be dearly missed. The family would like to thank the staff at Grace General Hospital for their compassion and care.
