Ann Mary Kent
1933-2019
With celebration of a life well lived, the family of Ann Mary
Kent sadly announces her passing which occurred on Monday February
18th, 2019 at Parkland in the Valley nursing
home, Quispamsis. Born Hanya Kvasnak on February
3rd, 1933 in Port McNicoll, Ontario, she was
the daughter of the late Stefan and Verona (Visocky)
Kvasnak.
Ann is survived by her children: Pamela of Kingston, David
(Linda) of Passekeag, Kevin (Dawn Tabor) of Kingston and Alison (Sat
Gill) of Burnaby, BC; and by three sisters Helen (Mike Dubbin), Katie
(John Quinlan) and Elaine (Ivor Stubson). She was predeceased by her
loving husband J.J., a son Michael Thomas and by her brother Rudy
Kvasnak (Wanda). G.G. (Great-Gramma) will be sorely missed by her
seven grandchildren, their spouses and by her eight
great-grandchildren.
People in the KV will remember Ann and J.J. for being the
proprietors of Kent’s Variety Store on the Old Rothesay Road
in Kingshurst-East Riverside, a place where you could count on getting
that last minute gift or Hallmark card or bread, milk or the best
penny candy. It was actually the “second” Kent’s
Variety Store – the first one being on 4th
Avenue in Port McNicoll – a similar venture. An avid
competitor (a trait passed on to the entire Kent Clan), Ann enjoyed
racquetball, badminton, golf and other activities. She was a member of
several bridge clubs, loved her time with the Sunshine Girls and was
active with the CWL and Hospice. Stricken with Parkinson’s
disease in her early fifties, Ann never let it interfere or stop her
from enjoying any family or social activities. She battled the
physically debilitating disease right until the end – her
mind sharp but her body ever in decline.
Arrangements are under the care and direction of
Kennebecasis Community Funeral Home, 152
Pettingill Road, Quispamsis (849-2119). There will be no visitation. A
Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Friday February
22nd at 11:00am at Our Lady of Perpetual Help,
31 Gondola Point Road, Rothesay. A celebration of Ann’s life
will be held in the reception hall following the Mass. Donations in
Ann’s memory can be made to the Parkinson’s
Foundation (at Parkinson.org) or to the charity of the
donor’s choice.
