It is with great sadness that the family of Ann Lauther announces that she passed away on Wednesday, November 13, 2024 at Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro.
Ann was born in West Caledonia, Nova Scotia in 1931, and was the daughter of the late Bertram and Annie Canning. She moved to Truro when she was 20 years old after meeting her late husband Smiley Lauther. Ann was the last remaining member of the Canning family. She is predeceased by her husband, parents, 11 siblings, and grandchildren, Sherry Atwell and Jamie Shearer.
Family was everything to Ann. She loved her family, and was equally loved by them for her kindness and selflessness. Ann leaves behind her seven children, Faye Lauther, Truro, Gail Atwell, Cornwall, Ontario, Janice Bonnell (Frank), Harmony, George Lauther, Truro, Russ Lauther, North River, Troy Lauther (Charlene), Truro and Todd Lauther (Crystal), Truro. As well as her many grandchildren who will deeply miss their beloved "Nan", Michael Shearer (Natasha), Blake Atwell, Mark Bonnell (Tammy), Tricia Smith (Tony), Danielle Boutilier (Benn), Chloe Pilon (Derrick), Ben Lauther, Brett Lauther (Jill), Jordan Lauther (Melissa), Brandon McFadden, Katrina Bagnell, Brooklyn Bagnell-Lauther, Haden Hatfield (Patricia), Brody Lauther, and Alexis Lauther. Ann will also be greatly missed by her great grandchildren Ashlee, Spencer (Ashley), Katie, Emily, Rory, Devon, Scarlett, Mabel, Brady, Kohen and her two great great grandchildren, Daniel and Jaxon.
Ann will be cherished for her selfless nature. She was the kind of person who would give generously without a second thought. She was also sharp-witted and wouldn’t shy away from giving her honest opinion. Ann had a special bond with her children and grandchildren. She was so proud of all of their accomplishments. Ann was an avid sports fan and enjoyed watching her children and grandchildren play their various sports. She particularly loved watching her grandsons, Brett and Jordan play hockey and football. Ann was the biggest Saskatchewan Roughriders fan, and never missed watching a game. Her favorite player was her grandson, #12 Brett Lauther.
Ann’s family wishes to thank Dr. Henderson and Dr. Kukula for their care, as well as the nurses and staff of the Palliative Care Unit. A special thanks to the VON who also cared for Ann in her home.
A committal service will take place in the spring. In lieu of flowers, donations to Colchester East Hants Hospice Society are welcomed.
