Annie’s memory will be lovingly cherished by her children, Gail (Jack) of Armstrong, BC, Darlene of Red Deer, AB, Sharon (Rob) of Chestermere, AB, Lorraine (Brad) of Calgary, Alberta; her much adored grandchildren, Shaun (Corrine) of Red Deer, AB, Jesse (Brigitte) of Calgary, AB, Shane (Lori) of Calgary, AB, Cheryl (Mike) of Chestermere, AB, Jamie of Calgary, AB, Shannon of Calgary, AB, Jennifer (Greg) of Calgary, AB, Adam of Calgary, AB, and Quinton of Vancouver, BC; 12 great grandchildren, nephew, Bryan (Sonya) Zuk of Surrey, BC; niece, Linda Mason of Langley, BC; as well as numerous friends. She was predeceased by her husband, of almost 60 years, Michael, in 2009; her siblings, Peter, Johnny, and Stella (Peter); and her parents, Grace and Paul Shyba. Annie treasured her time with her family. She truly understood the importance of every moment she was blessed with, and lived those moments to the fullest with the ones she loved the most. A favorite place to be was in the great outdoors, and Annie loved to venture home to the acreage for peace and tranquility. Whether it be a sporting event with a grandchild or tending to her yard, Annie was passionate in everything she did. Annie had a kind heart and gentle soul. She will be forever missed. The family would like to thank the staff at the Newport Harbour Care Center for their care and compassion towards Annie. At Annie’s request, no formal services will be held. If friends so desire, memorial donations may be made in Annie’s name to the Parkinson’s Society, #102, 5636 Burbank Crescent SE, Calgary, Alberta T2H 1Z6.
