Ann Claggett

CLAGGETT, Ann October 20, 1942 – October 30, 2015 . It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Ann Claggett. A loving wife, mother, and Nana, loyal friend and tireless volunteer in the community of Delta, Ann lived life to its fullest and brought passion, laughter and determination to everything. Born in BC's Lower Mainland, Ann moved to the Cariboo as a young girl where she fell in love with and married Ed Claggett. From this humble start, and with Ed by her side, Ann's boundless energy drove her to pursue many things, including making a beautiful home, a successful catering business, serving 10 years on the Delta Parks and Rec Committee, coordinating Street Entertainment for Expo 86, chairing the opening and closing ceremonies for the 1988 BC Summer Games, and serving 9 years as a Delta Councillor. In her spare time she served on the Delta Chamber of Commerce, the Delta Hospital Auxiliary, Chaired the Delta Hospital prior to the Fraser Health Authority, chaired many local PAC's for municipal and provincial leaders, and helped found both The Delta Elder College and South Delta Low Vision Group. She gave so much of herself to Delta, a community and people she knew and loved, and we are all fortunate that she did. Ann is survived by her husband of 53 years Ed, children Kim (Mike), David (Tanya) and Lynsey (Kwin), grandchildren Tate, Sophia, Wyatt, Tillie, Nolie; mother Margaret Kennedy (Hugh dec), sisters Janis (Bill), Judy and brother in law Dave Witzel (Mary Lou dec). A celebration of Ann's life will be held at the Beach Grove Golf Club on November 29, 2015 from 2-6pm. Donations in Ann's memory can be made online to the Alzheimer Society BC. We are heartbroken by your passing, but thankful your suffering is over. Rest in peace Ann, no E.
