ANNIE MYRTLE OKAPIEC
February 23, 1920 - June 23, 2020
She is survived by her children, Gail (Wilmer), Wayne (Maryann), Donna (Ken) and Gwen (Dennis), 14 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.
She was predeceased by her husband Frank, of 54 years, her parents, one sister and one brother.
Mom was an avid reader, a creative cook, a talented seamstress and knitter. She followed the soaps and enjoyed all sports especially baseball and curling. She knew all the stats of the Blue Jays and curling competitions. She loved playing cards with family and friends. Her coffee pot was always on when company visited and her pantry was always full.
"Mothers hold their children's hands for
just a little while and their hearts forever."
Special thanks to the staff at Beacon Hill Lodge for their compassionate and empathetic care.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of one's choice.
