For the past eight months Anne has been a resident of Lions Personal Care Centre and her family wish to extend their thanks and appreciation to the cheerful and dedicated staff for having made these last months comfortable for her, amid bright and pleasant surroundings. Anne had been an active member of Christ Church in The Pas, St. Matthews Anglican Church in Winnipeg, and was a Past Worthy Matron of Opasquia Chapter 24, O.E.S. Always fond of farm animals, especially horses, she was an accomplished rider in her younger years. She enjoyed travelling and on various occasions was able to visit Europe, the Holy Land, Hawaii, and the Caribbean. One of her greatest pleasures was her family and hosting family events; over the years she was always there for us. We love you.
