In Loving Memory of Ann Frances McLean-Gardner
1960 – 2025
With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Ann Frances McLean-Gardner, who left us so suddenly on April 22, 2025, at the age of 65.
Born and raised in Sydney Mines, Cape Breton, Ann was raised by her beloved grandmother, “Ma” or “Granny McLean.” Her roots on the East Coast shaped her lifelong love for the ocean—she was happiest when near the water and returned often to visit family and friends who remained, always making time to dip her toes in the Atlantic Ocean. As a teenager, Ann moved to Ontario, where she met the love of her life, Tony. The two spent the next 48 years together, building a life filled with love, laughter, and family. For the past 18 years, Ann called Tottenham, Ontario home, where she continued to embrace her east coast spirit while staying closely connected to the people and places she loved most.
Ann built a meaningful career supporting students at Humber College, where she held various roles in both food service and the Registrar’s Office. Known for her strong work ethic and caring nature, she especially loved supporting first-year students as they navigated the newness of college life, offering guidance, reassurance, and a warm welcome.
She is deeply missed by her loving husband George “Tony” Gardner, her son and daughter, Adam and Courtney Gardner, and her four grandchildren Clark, Georgia, Max, and Cara. Nothing brought Ann more joy than being with her grandchildren – she loved playing, laughing, and sharing special moments with them.
Ann was a music lover with a soft spot for classic rock and she was known for her vibrant energy and always being on the go. A passionate cook, she loved hosting family gatherings and discovering new places through her travels. She held a deep love for all animals – and spent much of her day in the company of her dog Rosie and cat, Pugsley.
A celebration of life will be held this summer, where friends and family can gather to honour her memory. Details to follow in the coming weeks.
Flowers are not necessary, but for those who wish to honour Ann’s memory with a donation, the family recommends supporting a cause close to her heart: animal welfare. Contributions can be made to your local animal shelter or to one of the following organizations: Dog Tales Rescue or Potcake Place K9 Rescue.
The family extends a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has reached out during this time of grief. Your messages, kind gestures, and shared stories about Ann have brought comfort and a reminder of all those who loved her during her too short life.
Online condolences and memories may be left for the family at www.RodAbramsFuneralHome.com.
“The ones we love are never gone; they live within us in the quiet moments, in the laughter, and in the love we carry forward.”
