ANNA MacTAVISH

Anna Agnes MacTavish (née MacDonald) of Ripley passed away, surrounded by her family, at South Bruce Grey Health Centre – Kincardine on Oct. 18, 2024, at the age of 101.
She was the beloved wife of Donald MacTavish, who predeceased her in 2017.
Loving mother to her three daughters: Barb (predeceased in 2007) & Charles Liddle, of Kincardine; Jean & Ian MacDonald, of Kincardine; and Marg & Sandy Pollock, of Ripley.
She was so proud of her seven grandchildren: Kim (John) Fairbairn, Kent (Nicole) Liddle, Jenny MacDonald (Brent Guay), Melissa (Shane) Watson, Brett (Sarah) Pollock, Corey Pollock, and Tyson (Amy) Pollock. Nothing made her happier than having visits from her 11 great-grandchildren: Brayden and Alexa Sautner, Nathan and Briar Pollock, Nash and Taylor Liddle, Blake and Natalie Pollock, Jack and Liam Fairbairn and Raeleigh Watson.
Don & Anna married in 1949 and spent many years beef farming on the 2nd concession of Huron Township before retiring to Ripley. They spent many winters at their home in Florida where they were always getting together with friends and playing cards. In 2017, after Don’s passing, she moved into R-Villa retirement home where she enjoyed her final years participating in their many activities. Thank you to the staff at Rosewood R-Villa for the care and support given to mom.
Anna made many good friends over the years playing bridge (her favourite card game) and scrabble. She was a dedicated member of St. Andrew’s United Church in Ripley. She was a wonderful person who always thought of others before herself and never complained. Anna will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her.
A funeral service will be held at St. Andrew’s United Church in Ripley on Wednesday, Oct. 23, 2024 at 11 a.m., with visitation for one hour prior (10-11 a.m.).
