Anne was an incredibly wonderful, kind, and loving friend. We cherished our shared passion for Harry Potter books and movies and even dabbled in painting together. Although we didn't see each other often, our conversations always picked up right where we left off, as if no time had passed at all. In August 2023, Anne shared updates about her life and adventures post-farm sale. She had taken everything to Houston in a U-Haul in June 2023, to Harry and Rosie . Anne planned to take a break from September to December 2023 and mentioned her hopes to visit me at my new office in the upcoming spring. Dear Anne, your memory will forever hold a special place in my heart.

I knew Anne through ATESL and the university, as well as through the Avenue-LearnIT2teach project where I was her mentor and she was my mentee — although I am sure that I learned as much (or more) from her as she did from me. A couple of years ago, I reached out to he to ask her if she would like to do a pan-Canadian webinar with me on instructional design in Avenue and of course she said yes, and she brought all of her enthusiasm and willingness to share everything she learned to our presentation. It was such a joy to work with her. Linda, Rosie, John, and Harry, I am so sorry for your loss. Anne was a valued colleague, and she will be missed.

My husband Joe and I met Annie at an Advent party at the home of a mutual friend in December 2007. We talked with her most of the night, recognizing in her a kindred spirit of rural background and vibrant musical interests. She rapidly became an "old friend" to us, and was all the more valued because we were new to Edmonton. Annie was always interested in the small and great moments of our lives, interested in our family members whom she had never met, interested in our hopes and vexations. She and Linda looked after our anxious little Jack Russel when we went to Ontario for two weeks at what must have been great inconvenience to themselves though they steadfastly maintained he was no trouble. They took such good care of him that he was relaxed and happy when we came to pick him up, and he loved them for ever after. We laughed so often and so much with Annie, and enjoyed precious times with her and Linda, and a few times with her children, under the grand old apple tree in the back yard, or in her homey kitchen, or on her front deck. We simply cannot believe that she is gone--all that empathy, generosity, adventurousness, and joy gone from Edmonton, but not from our hearts and memories. We extend our deepest and warmest condolences to our friend Linda, and to Rosie, John, Harry and their families. Your loss is so much greater than ours, and ours is a loss we can't bear to contemplate. But we are so very grateful that we were among the lucky ones who had Annie in their lives, even if only for a few short years.

Anne was not only a cherished colleague at ECSD but also a kindred spirit. Our bond formed effortlessly, rooted in our shared experiences in West Africa with Voluntary Services Overseas. With generosity at her core, Anne offered invaluable feedback on my papers during my M.Ed. program. In a harmonious exchange, I had the honor of styling her hair in my classroom—a space where laughter and profound conversations flourished. Anne’s presence was a beacon of warmth within our school. Her classroom served as a hub for relaxed chats and the exchange of innovative teaching resources, which she shared selflessly. Her laughter was a radiant force, infusing every corner with happiness. I am deeply grateful for the moments we spent discussing the profound message and the good news of John 3:16. These memories of Anne are treasures I will hold close forever. As we bid farewell, we find solace that she now rests peacefully in the embrace of our heavenly Father.

A wonderful teacher and colleague at St Patrick and St Basil schools. We had many great conversations together. She was the only person I met who knew who T-Rex was (the British rock band; not the reptile)! I will miss her greatly.

I am so grateful to have worked with Anne for many years. She brought light and good humour to everyone around her. It was such fun to work with her and share ideas. On my worst days I always felt better when Anne was around. I will always miss her and remember her fondly.

In the passing of Anne, we have lost a remarkable woman. A loving beacon of light, she left a lasting mark as an esteemed 4-H leader. Her compassionate disposition and unquenchable wit brought joy to all who knew her. As we mourn her loss, let us also celebrate the laughter and love she so freely shared. She will forever be in our hearts; greatly loved and profoundly missed.

My heart has broken hearing about Annie’s passing. My family and I met Annie when we moved to Edmonton in 2013 and were fortunate to live across the street from her. We were giggling within minutes and never stopped. When we moved, she and Linda hosted a neighborhood party for us. She even tried to hire a piper to pipe us farewell as we drove off. I have no doubt there will be many pipes a piping to honour this incredible human who’s kindness and humour made such a difference. Rest in peace dear Annie and our condolences to her family and friends. Mary & Jeff Forhan
