ANN TRUMP (JACKSON) Serenely, while surrounded by her husband John and family, Ann left us Friday, April 10, 2015 to be with her Saviour. Left to grieve her parting is her loving husband, dear sons David (Laura) and Matthew (Georgia), and precious granddaughters Ezri Celeste and Maya Teagan. Ann is predeceased by her parents Agnes and Tommy, and is survived by Cathie (Dave), Tracy (Nick), Andrew, Robert (Kristi), Thomas and Roddy (Jen). Born November 11, 1956 in her granny's house on McAslin Street in Glasgow, Scotland, she immigrated to Winnipeg in 1960 and attended Greenway, General Wolfe, Tec Voc, and RRCC. While attending school, she worked at A&W where she met her best friend and husband, John. Married in 1976, their 39 years of marriage molded them into a single entity, so they faced every blessing and challenge together. They were blessed with two sons, each fine men and a credit to her compassionate care, and when they married, Ann finally got two lovely girls, Laura and Georgia to love. No one knowing her could doubt the special love she had for Ezri and Maya. There were many sleepovers with crafting, painting, gardening and general tom foolery. It would be in the wee hours, and while tucked in one bed, they would end the day with a bowl of popcorn and a movie. Sometimes, they would sneak in a spooky movie just for fun. In addition, dates for baking, visits to tea houses, and Timmies after school would be just an excuse to be with them. Ann loved to entertain by hosting and cooking extravagantly and frequently. She would welcome you at the door with a lovely smile and an offer of a cup of tea. No one left hungry or without a care package and a warm hug to send you on your way. After the cancer diagnosis she was determined to travel while she still could. She reunited with family in Scotland, Ireland, and England as well as enjoyed an Alaskan cruise and a trip to beautiful Oregon. Too soon time grew short and she enjoyed one final stay in Victoria with special friends. The family gratefully acknowledges the support of many amazing people in our journey; Dr. Ian Maxwell and the staff at Cancer Care on McDermot; Special thanks to Dr. Ogarenko, Delene, Claudette, and Eleanor for their personal and exceptional care. Additionally, the treatment room nurses, Anjanie, and the clerks were the angels that made it possible to face the end with peace and dignity. To the ladies of the Tuesday support group a common fate made us all sisters; your love and support gave me strength and comfort. Hilda, dear friend, I am so grateful for all the wonderful times. Susan, friend for so long to the very end, thank you. Memorial service will be held Tuesday, April 21, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. at Fort Garry Mennonite Brethren Church, 1771 Pembina Highway, with interment of ashes in Glen Lawn Memorial Gardens. In lieu of flowers, and if so desired, donations may be made to Siloam Mission, as the plight of the less fortunate touched her heart. Ann, you were very much loved. You leave us an impossible void that cannot be filled. "If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart. I will stay there forever." FRIENDS FUNERAL SERVICE 204-339-5555

Condolences & Memories (5 entries)

  • I, like the previous tribute also knew Ann when we worked together at Pizza Place. She endured challenges when she was a young wife and she would talk to me about it. It was obvious that she received a lot of support from her husband, John. They were a tight couple and I remember being invited to their home for dinner. Last time I saw her was when she worked at the admitting desk at Victoria General Hospital the night I brought in my father late one night. I was so glad to see her and speak with her that I regrettably momentarily forgot my father sitting in pain in a wheelchair I had brought him. It seems like it has been a few years since her death but I imagine her passing will always be hard on John. - Posted by: Armande Martine (Co-worker) on: Jan 18, 2021

  • We've known Anne and John since Georgia and Matt were dating. We were always treated very kindly by Anne and John. We were invited to their home for dinner and conversation. Anne kept that house neat as a pin. You would not know Anne was sick as she never seemed to let it bring her spirits down, she had a very upbeat personality every time we talked. She was very excited to be a grandma and very proud of her two granddaughters. We feel that she truly loved our Georgia which makes her passing that much harder to live with. We offer our sincerest condolences to John, Matt, Dave and Laura. We will miss Anne. - Posted by: Scott and Barbara Hunnie (Georgia Trump's parents) on: Apr 20, 2015

  • I grew up with Ann on Lipton St. We went through elementary, junior high and high school together. We were inseparable, I spent so much time at her home I was able to understand her mother's very thick Scottish accent. I remember passing time at Ann's home listening to good Scottish music, I particularly remember the song Nobody's Child always made us cry. Years passed, Ann and John married and raised a wonderful family, I was blessed to be reconnected with Ann about five years ago we enjoyed lunches together. Ann was always very positve about life even through her hardest days. Ann you will be truly missed by everyone you have touched with your love and inspiration. - Posted by: Rocchina baragon (Friend ) on: Apr 20, 2015

  • Far as I know, I met Ann only once, but to meet her is to remember her. She was a beautiful woman, inside and out!!! - Posted by: Lois Reimer (Friend from church) on: Apr 19, 2015

  • I met Ann when I worked at Pizza Place in Southdale...she was the hostess and I was a waitress. It was my first job in Canada since I immigrated here from Scotland. We had some laughs there and that's when I got to know her. Actually we went to the same school in Scotland but not during the same time....our paths never crossed. Ann and I stayed on the same bay when our kids were growing up in southdale so we became closer friends.. Ann and I drifted in differant paths ....got busy with our famiies and life....but I always thought of her from time to time....she was a great mother and wife she was very proud of her family. I remember she loved to go to differant tea shops and loved flowers ...she loved her grandkids...she would on occasion tell me about them....I always seen her at the Scottish folkarama serving the food ....and her granddaughter would do her dancing ...she was very proud...my heart goes out to John he's left wit out his soul mate. I have lost three friends over the last few months ....this cancer has a lot to answer to ....I know John is going to lost with out his Ann .. thank goodness he has such a good family to turn to....rest in peace Ann. - Posted by: Rosemary Mair (Friend) on: Apr 18, 2015
