My name is Gord Huston. Anne and I were colleagues at Envision Credit Union. Anne was such a professional, caring and positive person who lifted everyone with her warmth and grace. My sincere condolences.

In meeting Anne I was impressed with her authenticity, kindness, loyalty to her kids and her good sense of humour. 

It’s exceedingly rare to meet someone you like immediately because what you see is the real person and not some conjured configuration. 

My sister Susan had a lot in common with Anne. Both were forthright in expressing themselves. 

They both loved family celebrations and the cooking and decorating that was part of them. Susan was looking forward to having a mother in law she could relate too. 

I was looking forward to getting to know her better. 

Wasn’t meant to be! 

Darren is lucky to have had such a ‘cool’ mom! 

She’ll be missed. No doubt about it. 

Our condolences to Anne’s family. We were away when the lord took her and our hearts were broken. We knew Anne as a wonderful, compassionate, kind, smart and articulate person with a heart of gold. Anne will forever be in our hearts. Neil and Debby Sharpe

We are so sorry to hear of Anne’s passing.   She was such a warm and loving person that always treated us with kindness

With love 

Deborah, Elaine, and Kelly 

Dear Family,  I am sorry to learn of Anne's passing. I met her 50 years ago as she is the sister of my dear friend Rose.  I remember Anne as always welcoming, kind, helpful, warm and loving.  Very protective of her family, the mother hen.  I pass on my sincere condolences, and best wishes in this time of grieving. of her loss.   Gail Haws

Dearest Dennis, Darren, Nicole and family.  How saddened I was to learn of Anne’s passing.  We have lost a gracious, kind, beautiful woman, so unique in so many ways.  I shall always remember her smiling face, and her endearing ways.  Sincere condolences to you all.   Rest in peace sweet Anne, and soar high with the angels.  ♥️♥️

I am so very sorry to hear of Anne's passing. "Auntie Anne" was an amazing, kind, compassionate mentor to me way back when... I cherish the memories. RIP Auntie Anne xx

What a truly wonderful gift Anne was to all who knew her and loved her. Anne was my   best of friends and my most trusted confidant. How truly blessed was I. We bonded as adoptive parents excited to share the exciting news of the arrival of Anne and Dennis' daughter Nicole  and their son Darren. Anne could not have been more delighted for my husband and me when our daughter Adrianna and our son Adam arrived to complete our family by adoption. I had the privilege to work alongside Anne in helping to establish the Adoptive Parents Association of British Columbia. It was so inspiring for me to work with Anne on developing and in presenting the Introduction to the World Adoption program for prospective adoptive parents. Anne's sincerity in recounting her own adoption journey touched the hearts of the program participants in very meaningful ways. She had this incredible ability to make those attending the program laugh heartedly and warmly even as we dealt with sensitive topics such as infertility. In the 50 plus years that Anne and I knew each other, she was a constant support to me and my family. We laughed and cried together offering each other support and solace when needed. I can still hear Anne saying to me whenever I shared with her a problem or challenge with which I was dealing: "Wait a doggone minute, let me think about this!" After a short time, she would lovingly and caringly share her thoughts and her wisdom with me often giving me new direction on to carry on. On September 17th, Anne texted this message to me "I am dying Rose-Marie. Still talk to me when I am gone. I'll listen." Oh! how I will miss you Anne! I will miss our often weekly chats more than I can ever say, You told me, Anne, during the six weeks prior to your death when you were suffering with such excruciating pain that I would need to  live my life without you. It is exactly that very thing that everyone who loved and cared for Anne are also having to do. Not easily done most especially for her family - for her devoted husband Dennis of 58 years, for her truly loving daughter Nicole and her husband Donovan and for Nicole's daughterTiana and for Nicole's son Luka and for her very devoted son Darren and his partner Jonah and for her sister Rose and her brother Ted and their children. Anne was an incredible woman living life fully and joyfully and always ready to deal with  and manage whatever life presented to her, I will continue to love you Anne beyond measure forever. I am so very grateful that you lived and were such a compassionate and fun presence in my life and in the lives of so many others. Amen!

Beautifully written and I am so sorry for the loss of this beautiful soul! I loved working with her at the credit union. Always smiles and a positive attitude ❤️

Prayers of comfort to all morning her. 😢Lots of love, Amy xo

Anne was an amazing woman. A loving,  caring & thoughtful wife, mom, grandma, sister and friend. Her laugh was memorable and her smile was as wide as the ocean. You will be dearly missed my "fake aunt". Love you forever. Our condolences to your family and friends. Rest easy now.

Love & hugs from Lisa, Brent & the Hiemstra family 🙏💛

Anne as mom's bridesmaid . Friends since they were 5.
