There were many people that were dear to her; however, Mom had a special love in her heart for her niece Sharon who visited frequently showing much love and care. Annie was born December 20, 1914 in Gardenton, MB. She moved to Winnipeg in her mid-teens and worked hard throughout her live. One particular job that Mom often talked about was working with her brothers, Alex and John at a logging camp in Ontario. Mom endured many hardships in making a good and happy life; this making Mom a strong force in her childrens lives. In addition to looking after her family, Mom loved to work in her vegetable garden. On many late afternoons coming home from school, her children would see Mom working the garden humming a tune. Annes grandchildren always commented on Babas humour; now it will be sadly missed.

In lieu of flowers, if friends so desire, donations may be made in Annies memory to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Manitoba or the Association of Community Living - Winnipeg. A cluster of beautiful memories Sprayed with a million tears, Wishing God spared you but a few more years. Thanks for the years you gave us And for the happy times we shared We only pray that when you left us You knew how much we cared. Our family chain is broken And nothing seems the same But as God calls us one by one Our chain will link again. VICHNAYA PAMYAT REST IN PEACE CROPO FUNERAL CHAPEL 586-8044
