Parcourez la nécrologie de Myra “Ann Moore résidant dans la province Ontario pour le détail des funérailles

January 25, 1943 – January 19, 2024
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Myra “Ann” Moore of Toronto, born January 25, 1943 in Saint John, NB, the only child of the late William Schofield and Frances (Foster) Schofield.
Growing up in the little hamlet of Duck Cove, NB on the Bay of Fundy, Ann was an outgoing cheerleader with a consistently positive attitude and zest for life. After nursing school at Montreal General Hospital, Ann was a public health nurse serving the low-income communities of Saint John. She married Hugh Richards “Dick” Steeves who sadly passed away a few years later.
In Ottawa with her young daughter Alison, Ann earned a political science degree at Carleton University at the top of her class. At the newly established Canadian Human Rights Commission, Ann was the first Executive Assistant to the first Commissioner, the Honourable Gordon Fairweather.
Ann later moved to the U.S. where she began her third career, creating a corporate relocation division at a small real estate agency in Stamford, Connecticut. By the time she retired, Ann was an executive in a leading real estate company, receiving national awards in her field. Leadership and business development turned out to be her strengths.
Later, Ann met Lou Holtermann, whom she loved dearly and passed away too soon. They had many happy years together. When Lou passed, she moved back to Canada to be with her daughter. In her retirement, Ann put her full energy into helping others. She was a devoted volunteer at the Church of the Redeemer in Toronto, supporting nursing care and providing nourishment to those without homes. Ann was, above all, a loving mother and a doting and proud grandmother. She cherished her time and many adventures with her grandson Hugh.
Ann is often described as “a force of nature,” never afraid to speak up for what she wanted, say what she thought, and most of all to advocate for those without a voice. She was a self-professed political junkie, pouring over the daily news and engaging in heated political debates while cradling a cold glass of Chardonnay. The ending of a perfect day would be watching over the sunset at Fanjoy’s point.
Ann dearly loved her life-long friends, her friends at her church and those at Christie Gardens, her most recent home. She loved to entertain, and her last words were considering what to serve when friends visited next.
The world will feel a little less bright without Ann, someone who made you feel alive, special and heard.
Ann was survived by her daughter, Alison Steeves, son-in-law Pearse Dolan, and grandson Hugh Dolan, as well as her beloved Steeves and Dolan extended families.
A service, celebration of life and reception will be held at the Church of the Redeemer on Saturday, February 3, 2024, 11:00 a.m. Donations in Ann’s memory may be made to the Church of the Redeemer’s Common Table, Toronto.
