VERMETTE, Anne (nee O’Leary)
1923-2022
It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Anne O’Leary Vermette, in Montreal, on June 3, 2022. She leaves to mourn her husband of 68 years, Marc, her sons, Paul (Gayle Marks), Maurice (Claire Panet-Raymond), Pierre (Jolanta Budzinski), Philippe, six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
A Public Health Nursing graduate from the University of Ottawa, Anne always felt privileged to have served in the Indigenous Communities of Ontario before moving to Montreal in the early 1960’s to raise her family. A compassionate people-person, she will be missed by the many who sought her help in the problems of daily life. She was a long-time volunteer at the Montreal Association for the Blind and the Lachine Hospital, served as librarian at Bishop Whelan High School, and was organizer-extraordinaire of bridge clubs wherever she lived. Thanks to Anne, the last ten years at Vista were a real treat for many top bridge players who were able to enjoy their daily games. We shall miss her quick wit and warm Irish smile.
The family will receive condolences on Friday, June 17, 2022 at St. Richard’s Parish, 7070 Ch. Guelph, Côte Saint-Luc, at 11 a.m. followed by mass at noon. Refreshments will be served.
Interment of the ashes in Douro, Ontario at a later date.
Donations in her memory may be made to St. Mary’s Hospital Foundation or to the charity of your choice.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Vermette Anne Nee O’Leary 2022..
