"I have come across Annie a few years back and she was always witty and had a joke. She was unapologetically herself no matter what. She was a good person."
"I echo the thoughts of my sister, Amy, and am sorry the snow is keeping us away. I was so looking forward to meeting Annie in person, not just through Facebook, and sharing family history and stories. Now I need to wait. Sending love to you at your Homecoming, Annie, and sympathy to those who loved you that are left behind. Your (I think) second cousin, Michele Roberge."
"Sending prayers and condolences to the family and all who loved Annie, the snow is keeping my sister and I from attending her funeral. Annie and I connected on Facebook during the pandemic as I was researching the life's work of our Uncle Bert. Although I never got to meet her in person, her kind and welcoming words lifted me with the joy of finding a long-lost cousin. May she Rest in Peace, her family and friends comforted by happy memories. -- Amy Roberge Heitman"
"Rest in Peace Annie. I had the pleasure of delivering groceries to Annie from the Village Market. We had wonderful conversations about life, family and faith. God Bless you my friend. JoAnn Abdenour"
"Annie always had a smile to share and an upbeat message, on behalf of the St. Clare Church Parish Team I extend our condolences to the family. I remember when she registered with us a St. Clare Church many years ago and was looking for ways to help. As recently as two weeks she watched a Winter Concert we live-streamed and commented how relaxing the classical music was. I am glad she enjoyed it! Rest in peace Annie!"
"On behalf of the Capuchin brothers I offer my deepest sympathies on the passing of Anne. It is truly humbling to receive memorial donations in honor of her life. Please be assured of the brother's prayers for the entire Purvis family during this great time of grief. May perpetual light shine upon Anne."
