Gail Mahoney and families
Deepest sympathies to you and all the family. Anne will be remembered for her kindness and the wonderful friend she was to my mother. May she Rest In Peace.
ARMSTRONG, Anne
1928 - 2023
Armstrong nee Groshak, born in Strathclair, Manitoba. She came to Kirkland Lake as a young child and stayed as a permanent resident.
Anne was predeceased by her husband Theran Armstrong and her parents Michael and Nellie Groshak and her brother Alex and baby brother...survived by brother Stan (Jeannie) and her daughters Myra (Albert) Service and Gail Mahoney (Danny Pietrasik)
Anne's grandchildren Thera, Darcy (Patricia), Amanda (Leo), Sandra, and Mark and great-grandchildren Phoenix, Jasmine, Destiny, Jaiden, Jessica, and Krista meant everything to her. She had many beloved nieces and nephews.
Anne worked at the Kirkland Lake telephone office (Northern Telephone) and was
Manager of Maher Shoe Store. She went to school and became a hairdresser ... She owned her own shop (Lavender Beauty Lounge) until she retired. She was a long-time member and then became Worthy Matron of Ionic chapter#113 of the Eastern Stars.
She was active in her younger years. She was a home run hitter for the girls baseball team, goalie for a broomball team, and holds many trophies for bowling. She would craft with the best of them. She loved music. She belonged to the square dancing group back in the day. She was an avid gardener. Anne also traveled to many parts of the world.
There will be no service at this time. A celebration of her life will take place at a later date. She will be missed by all who loved her.
A huge thank you to TPR staff who cared for her for the past 11 years. It didn't matter what position they held...they are all loving, patient, and caring people. They gave Mom the best of care and also watched over me, making sure I was ok.
All Angels to be sure!!

I also would like to thank Rev. Janice Wilkinson who sat with Mom for many hours and for her support and spiritual guidance.
Donations in Anne's memory can be made to TPR or the Encore Club.
