Our friendship and memories go back over 61 years with Doug and Anne. We enjoyed many good fishing trips to Lac de Isles with them. We are saddened to hear of Anne’s untimely passing. We all will miss her beautiful smile and countenance. Our thoughts are with you Doug and Elliott and his family. Love Doug and Alice
Our sincere condolences to you Doug,, Elliott and family. We will miss Anne at our Bentley condo functions.. I’m sure your daughter welcomed you in Heaven. Rest in peace .. you will always be be remembered…
My deepest sympathy for your loss. Anne was a lovely woman.
Doug,
My sincere condolences on Anne’s passing. I know that you will miss her so very much. I greatly valued your friendship and your kindness during my time as your neighbor. I have wonderful memories of coffee and goodies, baked by Anne, sitting either on your deck or your living room and solving many of the world’s problems. My thoughts are with you now, Doug.
Big Brother and Elliott
Anne’s passing is a big loss to all our family and those whose lives Anne passed through. I have fond memories of all our visits to the lake with my girls and always had a great time and always enjoyed Anne’s food she would prepare. Anne had many talents, one was that she took up wood carving and she carved many Loons which I always admired and to my surprise she made one for me for one of my birthdays, This carving has had a special place in my house and no more special now than when I see it, it will be a remembrance of Anne for many years. I pass on my thoughts to my big brother and Elliott, Lynn and Liam during this difficult time.
Your little brother, Hugh

Rest in peace Anne.
So sorry Doug to hear this sad news, very fond memories of trips to the lake. Had a memorable canoe trip with Anne to see pelicans and some great conversations.
Thanks Liz been a very long time and much water has gone under that canoe. We both really liked our time with you. I am a complete basket case these days, Anne and I have never been apart, we have done everything together of near 70 years.
Deepest Sympathy to Clyde,Family and Extended Family members in the loss of Anne.
Beatrice Elliot ( Brownell) and my Grandma Myrtle Miller (Brownell) were sisters.
XOXO
Lynn, Elliott and Family. So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the memories you share.

Our sincerest condolences to you and your family Doug. Anne’s always pleasant demeanour and great sense of humour will be sadly missed. Take care.
My deepest condolences to Anne’s family. She was one of the nicest people I have ever met. I knew her from her time at the Girl Guide office. I was always amazed at how calm and professional she was with everyone, especially during the relocation to the new building and the patience she showed during the renovation of said building. There were more than a few times she calmed my frazzled nerves and I was so grateful. I am so sorry for your loss.
What an absolutely beautiful service for such a beautiful lady. May you rest in peace Aunty Anne….
Uncle Doug, cousins Elliot and Lynn and family my prayers and love are with you all during this most difficult time in your lives.
Sending you and your family our condolences on the passing of Anne.

Our sincere condolences to you Doug on the sudden passing of Anne, a wholly beautiful & precious lady.
Doug, our prayers of comfort and love go out to yourself and family. We are thankful for the few visits we shared with you and Anne…she certainly was a kind person but that is a strong trait of the Len and Sybil family. May this time of grief be made a bit easier by the love of family and the memories that you all will share.
Our sincere sympathy to you , Doug and your family.
Harold and Anna Penz
Sending our sympathy to you Doug & family. Wishing you comfort as you tell her stories, and remember the love & laughter you shared. 🌹
