KRAUSHAAR, Ann Marie May 6, 1938 to March 10, 2017 Ann Marie Kraushaar (nee Chew) beloved mother, partner, sister and auntie, passed away peacefully and will be missed by her large circle of family and friends. She was a constant source of light, love and laughter to all who knew her. She will be survived by her partner Art, daughters Karen and Helene (Scott), sisters Pauline, Teresa, brothers Phil and Edward and many nephews and nieces. She was predeceased by brother Bernie and sister Margaret. Ann was born in Blackburn, England and resided in North Vancouver for most of her life, before moving to Burnaby. As a long-time North Van resident, she participated in many activities, and worked at the local Burrard Shipyards, ICBC and District of North Vancouver. She loved to dance, laugh and enjoyed her "Forever Young" fitness group. Special thanks to the "nurse angels" at Burnaby General Hospital's Palliative Care Unit. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to www.bhfoundation.ca (Palliative Care), Union Gospel Mission or your favourite charity.

I miss you every day. You were one of my best friends. I miss our long talks on the phone, our visits, drinking tea, laughing, the love and joy we exchanged, the small memories we made, the chats on life no one will ever know about but elevated us both. You were a humble, gentle, smart and empathetic woman. We really loved each other didn't we mummy? I will continue to create a life that makes you proud. Happy International Women's Day to one of the woman who really represented sacrifice, gentleness, wit and curiosity. xoxoxo

Thinking fondly of Ann, and all the memories of my childhood and youth with the Kraushaars. It's been nearly a year since Ann left this world, and a very difficult year for Karen and Helene. But know that I send my love to you both. I'm glad this guest book is now permanent, and I'll visit from time to time, to keep the memory of this wonderful woman alive. You are truly missed, Ann, and I thank you for being such a great friend to my Mum. XOX

Art, thinking of you today and of all the special times we spent with you and Ann and our group in TGIF. All the laughter and fun we had. Ann was one in a million and all of us were so lucky to have had her in our lives. She stood out and became such a dear friend. She will be missed always.

Rest in peace Ann. I will always remember your kindness, your laugh and welcoming smile! Thank you for being a second mom to me in Grade 11 so that I could stay and finish the year before moving to Calgary. I will miss you. My condolences to Helene and Karen and family. I am thinking of you and sending my love. Your mum was a very special woman.
