After living so independently beyond her 100th year, adjusting to immobility was to be a daunting challenge. Both Anne and her late husband Michael (1993) were Canadian born. They relocated from Winnipeg, MB to Oshawa with their first-born son. Employment opportunities at General Motors of Canada would help them establish a new life 'in the east'. Anne is forever the mother of Kenneth (the late Carol), Carol Smart (Bill) and Michael Jr (Anne); aunt of Barbara Damant (Lance). A caring grandmother to Gregory, Stephen, Courtney (Dave) and Bradley (Jenn), she also cherished her great-grand- children Jackson, his twin Liam (predeceased), Tristan, Thomas, and Barrett. A mostly self-taught baker, sewer and knitter, Anne used her skills to make various desserts and garments, also knitting/donating hats over many years for the premature babies at the hospital. She enjoyed five-pin bowling for some years and then a change of pace working in the mail sorting department of Canada Post when her children were older. Anne was a dedicated follower of current events on CFRB, a Word Search aficionado; only Jeopardy and shows that involved recipes, or news of the day, would keep her in front of the TV! She was adamant about exercising her right to vote and did her share of volunteering on election teams. She would stress the importance of a good education, often commenting that she wished she could have had an opportunity to go further in her schooling. She seemed to do just fine with her own life-long learning effort! Anne knew she was blessed to have many special friends of many ages. She was a serving and long-time member of St. George the Great Martyr Ukrainian Catholic Church and the associated UCWLC Branch #1. She was a dedicated alto in the church choirs and helped in the kitchen of the original church hall, continuing as a weekly volunteer in the Lviv Hall kitchen into her 90's where surprise birthday parties were lavishly bestowed upon her! She wouldn't let on, but she loved every second of them! Fiesta was another favourite time of the year! Anne also accumulated many memories as a long-time serving member of the evolving, and now former, UAW/CAW/UNIFOR Family Auxiliary. For years, much fun was had at annual banquets and the UAW Picnics at Lakeview Park, working in the Silver Dollar Booth. She helped to get the initial catering service off the ground at the former UAW Hall on Bond Street. Many knew Anne as a "sweet lady" but her witty, determined and mischievous side couldn't, at all, be discounted! She set high standards for herself and had lofty expectations of others! She always valued those who were part of her continuing story and those who stayed in touch. To all who contributed to her well-being and care in any way, for however long or short term.... you were always fondly appreciated in her/our hearts. Anne has been interred at St. Wolodymyr and St. Olha Cemetery, Courtice, ON. If you so choose, donate in Anne's memory to the charity or church of your choice, or take time to help someone in need. Anne entered the world simply, lived simply, and left all the richer for it. We rejoice in that. ALBRECHT, Violet 'Vi' Theresa ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Peacefully passed away on Thursday, November 24, 2022 at Lakeridge Health Oshawa, at the age of 89.

Preplan Today We're committed to making it affordable and easy OBITUARIES | REMEMBERING THE LIVES OF THOSE IN OUR COMMUNITY Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep, I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glint on snow. What would I give to clasp your hand, your happy face to see, to hear your voice and see your smile, that meant so much to me. And have you gone, forever gone and left us here to weep. Till we are called to follow you, and in the grave to sleep; yet since you could no longer stay to cheer us with your love, we hope to meet with you again in the bright world above.
