I was shocked and tremendously sad to read of Anne Marie’s  death.   I have known her since our early days  as parishioners  at Canadian Martyrs, and remember at that time admiring her very gracious manner, and commitment to her family.   Over the years we shared  many early morning outdoor swims.  Few moved  that flutterboard along faster than Anne Marie!   

Her death is a huge loss to our community.

Dan and I send our deepest sympathy to all her family.

My heart breaks for Anne-Marie’s family, colleagues, and all of her former students at Dalhousie University.

Anne-Marie was an absolutely incredible professor and I will be forever grateful to her for always being so kind, helpful, and encouraging toward me when I roamed the halls in the Geology department. Her door was always open and she always had time to answer my random questions. I fell in love with Geology because of her intro courses (which I took on a whim because I wanted fun electives) and ended up loving it so much…I decided to make it into a double major.

Rest In Peace Anne-Marie 🤍

Erin and family,

I am  sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved mother.  Sincere condolences.

I learned so much from Dr. Ryan. She reminded me that teaching came from the heart. Thank you for sharing your beloved Anne Marie with us.

Dear Bob, Fiona, Kerrianne and Erin and all of your families,  and to Anne Marie's siblings. 

Your loss is surely unbearable at this time.  I will remember our times together at Canadian Martyr's with great fondness, respect and awe for her humility, her profound humanity, her positivity and her loving and caring spirit. 

Anna Marie was a gift to us all. 

From Pauline Murphy and Elliott Sutow and our family.
