When Anne was in her early 20s, she moved to Winnipeg and then to Red Lake, ON, always engaged in different types of work. After a few years she moved back to Winnipeg where she was employed by the Shop Easy Stores until her retirement. Annes life with her family was so very important to her and she was constantly involved with all of us throughout the years. We have so many wonderful memories of her constant generosity and loving care to each and every one of us. Her faith in God meant so very much to her, and her rosary was always in arms reach. Her latter years were spent in Fred Douglas Lodge and most recently Bethania Nursing Home. The family would like to especially thank the care givers at Bethania Nursing Home who were so caring and understanding. Her last few days of her life were at the Concordia Hospital, surrounded by her beloved family and the compassionate nurses at the Concordia Hospital.
