She married Marcel on September 28, 1946 at St. Andrew's Ukrainian Catholic Church where she has been a member ever since. Mom worked as a sewing machine operator at Jacob Crowley, then Tan Jay for 45 years. She retired but still loved to sew. She had her own sewing room and was always willing to sew for family and friends. Mom also liked to cook and insisted visitors never left without having something to eat.

What a great lady. Auntie Ann was the backbone of the family. Not much got past her. I always remember when we would visit Winnipeg and go to all the Aunts and Uncles homes, the phone was sure to ring with Auntie Ann on the other end making sure we were well taken care of, with food of course. It never ended there, there was always a follow up conversation about what they fed us to make sure there was no funny business going on. I was always amazed at the energy that lady had. She loved to walk around her block no matter the season. We were so blessed to have an opportunity to visit and talk with her this past summer. As soon as I walked into her room, she was spot on with "Oh, hi Carl". She loved her grandson and always spoke greatly about him. Her home was the last place Maynard stayed. He always spoke greatly of her hospitality. For all of these great things a person like her has done over 10 decades... She will be missed by all of us. We LOVE YOU Auntie Ann. - Posted by: Carl, Laura, Colby, and Joshua (Nephew) on: Nov 03, 2014

I say this endearingly: Aunty Ann was my favourite curmudgeon! She had no filter! She was as authentic as you can get and I liked that about her. Her heart was as big as her views. When we used to phone her, or her us --- I'd say, " Hi Aunty Ann, how are you doing?" and she'd reply: I don't want to talk to you, put your Dad on the phone. It made me laugh each time and I teased her mercilessly. She enjoyed that. Many many years ago I used to take some pants to her for sewing. I didn't even wear them but I knew she enjoyed tailoring. When we'd go pick them up she'd say: Go try them on. NOW! I couldn't!!! They didn't fit to begin with....so, I'd say: I don't have to try them on - YOU fixed them and they will be perfect. Her eyes, literally, would grow big and she'd smile and be happy. By the time we'd get home there would already be a message on the machine: Did you try them on?? haha. Pops always called her (pronounced) Hanyou. She liked that. She made us laugh when telling my Dad stories about wearing big, large rubber boots (to a court case of some sort?) cause her dad wouldn't buy shoes. Yup - Aunty Ann was a relic; a tough lady with a tender heart. Condolences. - Posted by: Corinne Dirr (Neice) on: Nov 01, 2014
