Ann ALLARD Obituary

It is with profound sadness and love we announce the death of Ann Allard on December 24, 2020 at the age of 63. Ann is survived by her husband Peter, who, with love and compassion was Ann's dedicated caregiver and always by her side. Her strength and sense of humour through her journey will be remembered. Ann was a devoted, caring and proud mom and loved by her children David, Steven (Candice) and Rachel. Ann is predeceased by her mom and dad, (Bill and Mary Blackborow), mother-in-law Ann Allard (Ernie) and her brother Bob (Liz). Cherished by her brother Bill Blackborow (Diane). Loved by her in-laws Cathy Vollick (Mike), Carol Breadmore, Colleen Johnston, Patricia McLeod (Don) and Paul Allard (Lori). Ann adored her grandchildren Isabella, William and Jacob. She will be missed by many nieces and nephews and their children. Ann enjoyed many fond memories of her aunts, uncles and cousins. She treasured time spent with her dear friend Joan. Ann was an animal lover at heart. She was very creative; loved her arts and crafts and had a beautiful collection of owls. Ann enjoyed a day by her pool, especially when surrounded by family. We would like to thank all the nurses, PSW's and support teams. Donations to The Good Shepherd would be appreciated. A family gathering will take place at a later date.

Ann and I were the best of friends when we were both in elementary school (St. Margaret Mary). Probably from grade 4 to 7. My family moved away 3/4 of the way through grade 7, and Ann and I lost touch with each other. This was way before the internet age and affordable long distance phone rates. I wish that we had stayed in touch, but it didn't happen. A few years ago, I found Ann, thanks to the internet, and reconnected with her on Facebook. I was happy that not only did she remember me, she said that she'd thought of me often. I had thought of her often as well. I have many happy childhood memories of my friendship with Ann. I think I spent more time at her home than mine, sometimes. We had many fun sleepovers. We would lie on her living room floor in sleeping bags, watching the Friday night horror movies. Dracula, Phantom of the Opera, that type of thing... in black and white some of them. Ann's mom would often be sitting behind us, in her recliner. Just as there was a particularly scary part in the movie, her mom would toss her cigarette package at us and startle us half to death! Looking back, it was hilarious, and she certainly thought it was. :) She had a beautiful bike, a "mustang", gold in colour, with those high rise handlebars, and a metallic gold coloured "banana seat". It was awesome! My Canadian Tire blue and white bike with chrome fenders, paled in comparison! I wasn't jealous though. Ann was so generous in sharing her things with me and our friendship was solid. She was fun, beautiful, generous, and a very good friend. Although we hadn't seen each other for many years, I'm thankful that we managed to connect again and catch up a little on FB. I'm incredibly grateful to have had the gift of her friendship. I will always carry that in my heart. Rest in peace, dear friend. I hope you are zipping around on that golden mustang bike up there.

I remember Ann & Pete's wedding day. And Ann getting the giggles...so funny! As well, when I was born my Dad (Uncle Reg) love the name "Ann Marie", but compromised with my Mom and I was called Mary Ann. So glad to have reconnected and spend a few summer days with her. Wish I could hug you all, but send them virtually.
