Anne Marie was a lovely person with a great personality. I will never forget Anne as she had a beautiful smile and brought happiness to all of us. She will be missed by the class of 1962 as she strived to keep Our classmates together after we graduated. She believed in class reunions. It has been a real pleasure knowing her !! May God bring comfort and blessings to her family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you !

So very sorry to learn of the passing of Ann. I was a classmate of hers at St Jerome. She could light up a room with her great personality. My sincere condolences to her family and may she rest in peace.
