Annie was born July 31, 1929 north of Cupar and married Tony on November 21, 1946. They farmed the family homestead near Cupar for 44 years.  She was an excellent homemaker and worked briefly in retail and as a care aide at Shalom in Cupar. Annie and Tony retired to Regina in 1993 and later lived in Wintergreene Estates. Annie’s final months were at Santa Maria Senior Citizens Home. 

She was an excellent and exceptional cook and meticulous house keeper.  She adored her grandchildren and great grandchildren, and they all loved “Cookie Grandma” as well. Annie enjoyed country music and eagerly participated in games of chance. She was a lifetime member of the CWL, loved going to Manitou Springs for weekends in the summer, doing word search challenges, keeping abreast of world news and enjoying square dancing while she could.  Her legacy will be the delicious recipes that continue to be family favorites.

The Funeral Service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 30, 2017 at Christ the King R.C. Parish Church, 3239 Garnet Street, Regina SK.
