Obituary of Ann Bryan

It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of (Leona) Ann Bryan (Russell) on Sunday, March 17, 2024 at St. Marys Memorial Hospital. Proud mother of Arden (Tomas) Longeway (St. Marys) and Linda  (Mike, deceased 2023) O’Hara (Port Franks). Cherished grandmother of Tom VanOosterhout (Kitchener), Cathy (Justin)  VanOosterhout (Cambridge), Samantha (Annanth) Brown-Aravinthan (Toronto) and Olivia (Geon) Brown (Toronto). Adored great-grandmother of Henry, Alice and Edison Cumby (Cambridge). Survived by her sister Lyla Allan (Whitby).

Mom treasured her time with family and friends. She was very active in the St. Marys community through the St. Marys Presbyterian Church, St. Marys Friendship Centre and volunteering through her gift of music. She thoroughly enjoyed her time with the “lunch bunch,” playing bridge, singing in the choir, and going on numerous trips with Hope for Haiti. Mom loved animals and enjoyed the companionship of many beloved cats throughout her life. Mom will truly be missed by all who knew her.

A Celebration of Life service will be held at the St. Marys Presbyterian Church, 147 Widder St. E. St. Marys, on May 30, 2024 at 1 pm.

In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory may be made to the Music Fund at the St. Marys Presbyterian Church or the London Humane Society.

The family would like to express their gratitude to Dr. Gatfield and the staff at St. Marys Memorial Hospital for the exceptional care given to mom and our family.
