She did this while raising children on her own, as well as taking on additional responsibilities with many organizations such as; Community Living, Aboriginal Headstart Program, The Heart & Stroke Foundation, PA Group Home Society, Big Brothers & Big Sisters, and more. Annie was a loving, generous woman who was always wanting to help others. She was a dear friend to many and a second mother to many more. She loved spending time with friends and family. She loved spring and would decorate her yards with flowers, the more, the better. In the last few months, Annie’s health was decreasing, but she looked forward to starting a new life in Saskatoon. Throughout her brief time on earth, she touched many lives and will be missed greatly.
