Obituary

Anna Agnes MacTavish nee MacDonald of Ripley passed away surrounded by her family at South Bruce Grey Health Centre, Kincardine on October 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 eleven  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, Ripley on Wednesday October 23, 2024 at 11:00 AM with visitation 1 hour prior (10:00 – 11:00 AM).

Dear Charles, Jean and Ian, Marg and Sandy, Our condolences in the passing of your mom/mother-in-law. She certainly led an active and full life. I have childhood memories of visits to the farm and visiting when we would see her and your dad out and about. Of course, she was a fixture at the Colling reunions, too. Hugs to all.
