Anne Taylor
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Anne Katherine Taylor (nee Childs), who passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on December 7, 2023, in Port Perry, ON.
Born on September 27, 1945, in the picturesque landscapes of England, Anne's life was a testament to love, dedication, and the timeless values that we hold dear.
Anne's journey was intertwined with that of her beloved husband of 60 years, David, whom she cherished with unwavering devotion.
Married in March 1964, they built a foundation of love and commitment that stood the test of time, a testament of the enduring power of their bond.
Anne's nurturing spirit extended to her cherished children: Steven, Lee (Rob Campbell), Neil (Linda), and Angela. Through her guidance and selflessness, she instilled in them the values of compassion, resilience, and the importance of family.
Her legacy of love continued to flourish through her beloved grandchildren: Rob (Denise) Lindsay (Josh), Jordan (Megan), Paige (Jake), Ryan, and Chloe.
They were the apple of her eye, and Anne's heart swelled with pride as she witnessed their accomplishments and shared in their joys and triumphs.
A testament to Anne's memory will forever be cherished by her great-grandchildren: Leah, Beau, Owen, John & Bianca.
They were blessed to experience her love and wisdom, creating a lasting bond that will be treasured for generations to come. Anne was preceded in death by her dear mother, Rose Childs (nee Bridges), and her father, George Childs.
In remembrance of Anne's life, a celebration of life will be held to honor her memory and celebrate the legacy she leaves behind.
We would like to thank the staff and volunteers at the Oak Ridges Hospice in Port Perry for their kind and compassionate care.
If desired, memorial donations to either Oak Ridges Hospice(https://www.oakridgeshospice.com/memorial-giving) or the Canadian Cancer Society(https://cancer.ca/en/) are greatly appreciated by the family.
