Life story

Mom, Anne Margaret Hanrahan, was born in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, the fourth child to Murdoch and Annie Laidlaw.

She lived a life of quiet strength and purpose for 94 years.

A teacher and a nurse, she practiced at Camp Hill hospital in Halifax and Shaughnessy hospital in Vancouver.

She was a devoted partner to George for 61 years and her steady wisdom carried her family through many of life’s challenges.

Her resilience lives on in her children: Patrick, Sean, Erin, Sheila, Terence, Siobhan and Tara,

Her grandchildren: Jennifer, Liam, Brennagh, Seamus, Sophie, Georgia, Finnagh, Enya, Caelan, Capri, Shea, Tristan, Shayna and Haylie,
