She will be lovingly remembered by her children, Glen and Donna (son-in-law Fred); her grandchildren, Andrew (Kaitlin) and Sarah (Brett); and her cherished great-grandchildren, Colton, Lincoln, Everleigh, and Weston. She also leaves behind Glen’s former wife, Dianne, who has remained a valued part of the family. Ann will be missed by her many nieces, nephews, and dear friends.

Some of Ann’s happiest moments were spent watching her grandchildren play hockey and baseball. She took great joy in being there to cheer them on, and these memories will always hold a special place in the hearts of her family.

Ann also shared a special bond with her extended family, the Riders’ who were a meaningful part of Ann’s life. The connection they shared will always be remembered.

The family wishes to express their sincere gratitude to the wonderful staff at Faith Manor for the kindness, compassion, and care they provided to Ann, making her final years comfortable and meaningful. Their thoughtfulness and support will always be deeply appreciated.
