Predeceased by her husband, Denis; her parents; and her sisters, Marie and Luci. Beloved by all who knew her.

Anna was a lover of life and travel, a kind and gentle soul, and her generosity has touched us all through the years.

Anna was born in the Azores, Portugal, in 1950 and moved to Canada in 1956 with her family. Anna met Denis in early 1976 and they instantly fell in love. They married in 1977 and eventually settled in East Vancouver.

Their daughter Christine was born in 1981 and Julie followed in 1985. The family had many adventures together and created wonderful memories. Great joy was brought to both Anna and Denis when their grandson, Toli, was born in 2008 to Christine.

Anna was an interesting and well-read woman, never short of words, and always willing to sit and chat over coffee, tea, or a great meal. An avid traveller, Anna was full of good advice for those travelling to places she herself had visited. Her last European adventure was a Mediterranean cruise with her sister and constant companion, Liz, and brother-in-law, Joe.

Anna will be deeply missed by her family and friends.
