— Margaret Forester, November 10, 2023I remember Aubt Anne and uncle Martin’s wedding. It was my first wedding and Aunt Anne looked so beautiful and so happy. She was often quiet but when she spoke to you she filled you with love and attention. She was a wonderful woman. I’m glad Steven and Paul will have many wonderful memories to help them in their grief.
Love cousin Brenda

— Jason Oakes, November 9, 2023Dear Steve and Crystal and families, we are so sad to hear of Anna's passing. She was such a good friend and client and we enjoyed many visits and laughs with her over the years we have known her and we felt so bad when she could no longer climb our stairs that she had climbed for so many years like a trooper dispite having to bring her oxygen along. We missed our weekly visits with this kind hearted lady. She had a great sense of humor and great love for her family. ❤ our sincerest condolences 🙏 Kathy Debb and Gerri at Gerri's Beauty Salon

I am so sorry for your loss! Aunt Ann was a presence in my life since I was a young girl and her and Uncle Martin lived on Martha St in Burlington. She was such a good aunt, friend to our parents, wife and mother. Her strength was a valuable asset to her family and I know she will be missed.
All of a sudden you are without parents and I know how hard that is to get used to. They will both always be in your hearts however so you will never be alone.
Love Angella
The earliest memory was from Jeremy cres. I had been wondering about wooden shoes.. you got them out of the closet and I tried them on..they aren’t easy to walk in. We’ve had lots of laughs and have shed a few tears. I’m so glad I was able to be a part of your life, right till the end.. I will always remember you…love you and miss you 💔💔
I am so sorry to hear about Anna's passing. Thinking of her family.
