Annie married Steve in Drumheller, Alberta and they had one son, Don. Annie was highly energetic, was always on the go and was known to many.

Annie had a passion for the beautiful flowers surrounding her home and her garden. An equal passion was her love for baking and decorating cakes.

She will be missed but never forgotten. Annie was predeceased by her husband Steve on January 1, 2000, and her sister Isabella (Willows) on January 29, 1996.
