She is survived by her children Roberta (Bud) Garrett, Janice (Wilf) Hewat, Gary Gilker, and Colleen (Don) Graham. Ten grandchildren, seventeen great-grandchildren and three great-great grandsons. Anne was the anchor of her large extended family and her passing leaves us saddened at our great loss. She was greatly loved by all who knew her and will be sadly missed.
