ANNA K. WOODS We remember the life of Dr. Anna K. Woods who would have been 70 years old today. Dr Woods died suddenly in April this year and is survived and loved by her husband John, her son and daughter and three grandchildren. Dr Woods was born in Finland, moved to the UK upon marriage and then to Manitoba in the 1980s. She practiced psychiatry for more than 20 years in Winnipeg. Dr Woods felt rewarded by her work, helping the lives of many. Motivated by a deep appreciation of the natural world, Dr Woods supported animal welfare organizations for many years. It was her wish to be remembered by donations to the Winnipeg Humane Society or the Canadian Wildlife Federation.

I can't believe this wonderful woman Dr. Woods is gone. She was an amazing doctor and helped me through all sorts of problems and life events for almost 20 years. I always knew I could depend on her, and she made me feel supported. She was real, caring, kind, professional, genuine and words can't express how sad it is that she has passed. She will truly be missed. My condolences to the family. Take care. - Posted by: Jo Ann Laferriere (patient) on: May 22, 2013

I first met Dr Anna Woods 16 yrs ago and she helped me through some hard times and good ones, as I said she was a friend and I treasured that very much. Would have written sooner but did not know where to do so. And I called the college of Pysician's and Surgeons. And my heart goes out to her husband and her Children Nina and Peter and Grandchilden. I miss her every day and it has been a year. I send my best wishes to you all, the family she was a special lady, and always will be Good nite Anna I know you are watching over me as well as your family.

I was heartbroken when I finally heard about Dr. Woods passing so unexpectedly. She was an excellent doctor and spiritual guide for me when she helped through my schooling and career of choice. If it wasn't for Dr. Wood's guidance I wouldn't have gotten as far today in life and work. She will always be missed. - Posted by: Susan L. Sears (patient) on: Jan 05, 2013

There are no words to explain my sadness and shock. This woman was a rock, a friend, an animal lover and advocate, a loving mother and wife, a wonderful human being. My tears are for how much I will miss her, and for her family and Lobo. God bless her. - Posted by: Kimberly McClelland (Patient) on: Dec 30, 2012

It is still so hard to believe that such a brilliant and wonderful person has been taken from the world all too soon. Dr. Woods was my first doctor and I will always love her for the help she gave me in dealing with my mental illness. My thoughts and prayers go to her family. - Posted by: Debbie Cathers (Patient) on: Dec 21, 2012
