It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our precious Mom and Nana.
Anne passed away in Crossfield the morning of Monday, January 11, 2021 peacefully in her home surrounded by love.
We battled her journey of Alzheimers with her the last few years. She taught us to love unconditionally and will be admired for her incredible strength, gentle and loving nature. She was special to everyone and touched the hearts of so many people. She always loved a good laugh and a good full Martini!
She was born in Northern Ireland and came to Canada in 1973 with her husband and two young children. She lived a full life working and travelling abroad before she settled. She devoted herself to her family and had the most incredible love for us all, especially her four grandchildren. We were blessed to have her help raise them. She was always so proud as she watched them grow into adults and of course spoil them rotten along the way.
She was everyone’s Nana and a special Aunty Nan.
She was raised in a beautiful family of 7 sisters and 2 brothers. She was predeceased by her husband, Antonio; mother, Elizabeth; father, Thomas; 2 brothers, George and Thomas; sisters, Edith, May, Sarah and Joan.
She will be always in the hearts of her remaining family and lovingly remembered by her 2 children, Nicholas Sierra (Jennifer Weir), Jane Johnston; son-in-law, Danny Johnston who loved her so dearly; her grandchildren, Christopher, Joscelyn, Emma and Sarah; her sisters, Margaret, Evelyn; and a as well as so many special nieces, nephews and other family and friends.
We would like to thank Shirley and Gay for caring for Nana with such dedicated love and dignity right till she took her last breath.
Dr. Briggs for her dedicated care to Mom and our family. Also, a special thanks to the Airdrie Community Paramedics who showed such compassion and helped us keep her comfortable in our home in her last days.
In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to the Alzheimers Society in hopes this devastating disease can be better researched and provide the necessary support to other families. www.alzheimercalgary.ca
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
Nos plus sincères sympathies à la famille et aux amis de Anne Sierra January 11th 2021..
