It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Anne R. Grant, who went to be with the Lord on June 28, 2026, in Port Hope, Ontario. She passed away peacefully in her sleep.
Anne was born on November 15, 1930, in Saskatoon to John and Frances Rependa. She was predeceased by her husband, H. J. Alan Grant; her sisters and brother, Marie Smart (Gordon), John M. Rependa (Dorothy) and Alice Still (Gordon) and Ruth (in infancy).
Anne is lovingly remembered by her son, Danny Grant (Janeen); her granddaughters, Harley Anne Grant and Virginia McGowan (Lachlan); and her nieces and nephew: Nancy Dungan (Jeff), Patricia Walker (Ron), Debra Hutchinson, Mark Rependa (Joanne), Donna Kaukinen (Kelvin), Marilyn Baetz (Andrew), Barbara Battensby (Darrell). She is also fondly remembered by several great-nieces and great-nephews. In the last decade of her life, her faithful caregiver and companion, Ruth Lucki, provided her with comfort, care, and companionship.
Anne grew up on a farm near Strongfield, Saskatchewan, and graduated from the Saskatoon City Hospital School of Nursing. She had a distinguished career, holding the honorary rank of Captain with the Canadian Armed Forces at the end of the Second World War. She later worked in Ottawa, where she became a head nurse at Riverside Hospital. Upon Alan’s retirement, they moved to Cobourg, Ontario, where Anne continued her nursing work with VON as she gradually transitioned into retirement. Anne loved to travel with Alan, with Anna Maria Island in Florida becoming their favorite destination. She was also an avid golfer and captured many Ladies’ Club Championships during her years, all while maintaining her dedication to her nursing profession.
Our condelences to Anne's family. She was a kind and caring lady with a wonderful sense of humour. We have many fond memories of our visits with her when she was able to attend St. Andrew's.
Oh my goodness! We are so saddened to hear of Anne’s passing! I was fortunate to have played many rounds of golf with her at Dalewood. And Tom had the pleasure of doing some renovations on “Grantwood” Such a lovely lady. May she rest in peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time! Tom & Carol Ann
Anne was a great lady. My condolences to all.
To Anne's Family Anne was a lovely lady with a beautiful smile and a great sense of humor. A very kind and caring person. I mostly remember Alan and Anne as they were members of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Cobourg. They were very active in the Church. I see Ruth Lucki occasionally and I always asked after Anne. My condolences to Anne's family. Hold all the precious memories in your heart.
A wonderful nurse.
Anne was a very dear friend to my Grandmother Nellie Shaver. They enjoyed chats together at church and other gatherings. Anne also shared many Sunday dinners with our family. They enjoyed a good cup of piping hot tea together, and shared their love of nursing She was often remembered by our family. Thinking of Anne’s family at this sad time
