Ann McCARTHY

ANN McCARTHY (née Casey) 1939 - 2023 It is with sadness and a deep sense of loss the family announces the passing of Ann, beloved wife of Don; loving mother of Suzanne (Kevin) and Jennifer; and proud grandmother of Lauren and Ryan (Clara). Ann is survived by her younger brother, Graham (Connie) in California. Ann passed after a brief struggle with cancer, with Don and her two daughters at her side. Born in London, England, Ann persuaded her entire family to immigrate to Toronto in 1957, in search of a different life in Canada. Her family ultimately moved to California, but Ann found a good reason to remain in Canada, Don McCarthy. They both worked at Nestles head office in Toronto where the romance began. Married in 1959, they formed a lifelong partnership, managing Don's successful career to the high levels of the food and consumer products industry. Ann performed admirably in her own right, including designation as First Lady of most companies Don managed. Ann loved dinner parties, live theatre, travel, and working with Don on business conferences. She was full of energy, enjoyed social engagements, and athletic activities such as tennis and golf. She could converse with any person on current events or the latest social trends. She made lifelong friends from all walks of her life and in many of the different countries that they traveled to, lived in, and where Don worked. The family would like to thank the doctors and staff at St. Michael's Hospital for their personal care and assistance. A celebration of Ann's life will be held at Mount Pleasant Funeral Centre. A reception to follow. For online condolences and service details, please visit: www.etouch.ca. You can contact the family by emailing suzwhite007@gmail.com.
