Ann was born on October 28th, 1954, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Ann grew up in large family, which instilled values of hard work and resilience, along with a generous and compassionate spirit. Ann’s life was marked by her kindness, strength, and profound love for her family and friends. She was a strong and independent woman, and an active participant in the fight for equality, helping pave the way for women and the LGBTQ community. She had a wonderful sense of humour and loved to spend time laughing with family and friends. Ann had a deep love for art, drama, fishing, travel and animals.
She was predeceased by her father, Tom; mother, Margret; brothers: Tom, Paul, Bobby, and Kirby; sisters, Cathy and Susan; and brother-in-law, Bud. Ann is survived by her partner, Penelope Pearson, as well as many other loving family members and friends. Ann’s legacy will live on through the many lives she impacted.
