Anne Marie was born on April 23, 1916 in St. Claude, MB. where she spent most of her adult life.  Anne Marie lived a full and active life working for various people.  She worked at the store for many years.  Her favourite pastimes included crocheting, knitting and bird-watching.  In the past years many curlers wore her hand made knitted sweaters.  Her hand made knitted or crochet pieces are enjoyed by many.  Bingo was her passion and she never said no to casino trips.  Being the last living family member, we, the nieces and nephews would like to thank her for wisdom of family history.   The family wishes to express their special thanks to the St. Claude Palliative Care for their love and compassion.

Funeral Mass will be celebrated in the St. Claude Roman Catholic Church on Wednesday, December 14, 2005 at 1:30 p.m. with Father Célestin Malengu Mubaya  officiating. Interment to follow in the St. Claude Cemetery.
