Anne Doyle (nee Cozak) passed away May 11, 2018, at the age of 102 years, at the Ross Payant Centennial Nursing Home, Assiniboia, SK. Anne was born August 20, 1915 to John & Verona Cozak on the family farm in the Elm Springs area. She grew up on the family farm with eleven brothers and sisters and attended Thornycroft School. After her schooling she worked as a house keeper in the Rockglen area. In 1935, she met Ivan Doyle and was married December 8, 1936 in Lisieux. They rented farm land and began their married life being together for 69 years, as Ivan passed away in 2005. In 1948, they moved to the Wood Mountain area and continued farming for 57 years, moving to Assiniboia in 1979. Anne loved her family, her flowers, gardening, was a wonderful cook and enjoyed working alongside her husband all those years. Anne loved to play jokes and tell jokes on everyone, she had a prolific memory. Cribbage was her favourite pass time – never liking to lose. In January 2018, Anne moved to the Ross Payant Nursing Home where she continued entertaining the staff with her wit and humour. She spent her last days receiving loving care from them all. We will miss her.
