Obituary of Ann Galbraith

Galbraith, Ann (nee Rickard), of Ipperwash Beach and Citrus Park, passed peacefully at home with her loving family and friends by her side on August 27, 2009 in her 72nd year. Ann will be deeply missed by Don, her devoted husband, best friend and soul mate of 52 years. Ann was the cherished mother of Cindy (Darrell), Greg, Kit (Rob), and dearly loved and adored grandmother of Travis (Aimee), Trevor, Clayton, and Candace. Ann/Mom/Grammy was a kind and loving woman, with a heart full of love for her family and friends. Those who knew her have been enormously enriched by her limitless love, compassion and support. She was an exceptional and giving woman who will be forever missed and always in the hearts of family, and the many friends she regarded as family. Special thanks to Aunt Loretta and Uncle Don Meaker for their immeasurable support, friendship and assistance as Ann's husband, children and grandchildren lovingly cared for her in the family home over her last days. Visitation will take place in DENNING BROS. FUNERAL HOME, 32 Metcalfe St.W., Strathroy, Ontario on Sunday, August 30, 2009 from 1p.m. until time of Service at 2 p.m with family friend, Ike Lindenburger officiating.
