Anne is survived by her son, Rod, daughter-in-law Lorie and daughter Laurie Anne; grandchildren Jonathan and Heather; sisters-in-law Joyce MacKay and Shirley Spicer; numerous nieces and nephews as well as her life-long friends Irma and Elmer Auld and Laverne Malinoski.
She was predeceased by her husband Robert and daughter Cathy; her parents Malcolm and Mary Mackay; sisters Ada Robinson, Marybelle Childs, Marian Samec and brothers Rod Mackay and Murdo MacKay.

Joyce Yanishewski of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. A private family interment will take place at a later date in Mountainview Cemetery.
