ANNE MacMILLAN Obituary

MacMILLAN, ANNE ELIZABETH (nee SUTHERLAND) January 24, 1944 – July 11, 2020 Suddenly, at Joseph Brant Hospital, surrounded by her loving family. Predeceased by her parents, John and Jessie (Mackay) Sutherland and her brother Reay Sutherland. She will be deeply missed by her daughters, Jessica Smith (Steve) and Katherine MacMillan (Alison Fraser). Much loved Grandma (aka Granny) of Evan, Lucas and Samuel, and all her furry grandbabies. Anne was a world traveler, an avid artist, published author and collector of friends everywhere she went. Her sudden passing has left a gaping hole in the lives of her family and friends, her art community, close friend Kenneth Hamilton and Chloe the cat. Cremation has taken place. When public health permits, a celebration of Anne's life and art will be held. If desired, a donation in Anne's name to Heart & Stroke or ALS Society of Canada (with whom Anne was a volunteer for many years), is appreciated by the family. www.smithsfh.com Forget me Not – When I am gone In hearts and prayers I will live on.

Jessica, Katherine and family. My heart goes out to each of you as you process the loss of your dear mum and grandmother. She really was a special woman. She was known so well in her community for her fun-loving spirit, wonderful art, love of family and zest for life. I met her in 1990 and we were part of the "other group of seven" at Sybil's studio. There were so many times we shared such great laughter together as we grew as artists. Anne was talented, wise and kind, had a beautiful smile, a wonderful sense of humour and a laugh that was contagious - so much so that our bellies hurt and tears would weep out of our eyes. My tears weep now at the loss of Anne. She was such a positive spirit. I will always remember her and keep her close in my heart. As I know you will. Love to each of you at this difficult time XOXO

I remember Anne when she would be with my sister Myrtle. We communicated via FB in the last few years. Your rest is earned. RIP.
I know you and Myrtle are deep in conversation in your new life.

Jessica and Katherine, we are so sad to hear of your Mom's passing. I knew Anne at New Toronto Secondary School and I rekindled my friendship with her through a mutual friend Sybil Rampen. Your Mom was a client of my husband, David Slabotsky. Anne and I had planned to have lunch on March 11th, 2020 but there was a storm so we decided to reschedule, then the lockdown happened and it changed everything. We had many conversations last year and early this year and I feel like we just got started rekindling our old friendship. I am so sad that this won't happen now. When we talked we laughed and kidded each other like sisters. I will miss her.
