She loved gardening, played a few games of golf, enjoyed traveling, and was also a good cook. She always had a good sense of humour, spoke what was on her mind, and enjoyed playing cards for hours with relatives and friends. Annie also enjoyed babysitting her grandchildren, and nieces and nephews. She was very kind hearted, an excellent caregiver, enjoyed reading, and loved doing puzzles. She will be sincerely missed by all of her family and friends. The family would like to express their heartfelt kindness to the staff on the second floor at Bastion Place, and to Dr. Heunis.
