Anna enjoyed the adventures life has to offer. Dancing with Bruce, backcountry canoeing in Algonquin Park with friends, reading and rug hooking to name a few. Anna was a member of the South Muskoka Curling Club for thirty-six years.

In the nineties Anna and Bruce retired, moved to a home with acreage, dusted off childhood lessons learned from their parents and began producing maple syrup with family and friends, a tradition that continues.

Special thanks from Anna’s children to all our friends and family who have supported our Mom and Dad with rides, wood cutting, food, syrup production and friendship.
