GIROUX, Anne - Our dear Anne passed away into the loving arms of her Lord and Saviour on April 10, 2023. Anne was predeceased by her father Joseph, her mother Edna (Boire) and her brother Paul. She is survived by two cousins, Mike Boire and Diane Campbell (Boire). She leaves to mourn a wealth of wonderful friends and neighbours for whom she will always be remembered as a person who portrayed all the qualities of what a true friend really is. Anne was a dedicated teacher for thirty-five years with the Renfrew County Catholic District School Board. During that time, she touched the lives of many of her students and encouraged them to achieve to their full potential. Also, her example inspired many students to become educators. After she retired from teaching, Anne answered her second calling by joining The Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a group that supports people in need. Her generosity and kindness shone through as she assisted regularly at the soup kitchen and behind the scenes contributed in multiple other ways to assist clients with their daily needs. She was a strong advocate for many. Anne's faith remained strong throughout her life and especially as she so courageously battled her fight against cancer. A special thank you is extended to the health care workers on 2C of Marianhill for their kind and gentle care of Anne. Also, Kelsey Graveline was instrumental in keeping Anne comfortable and bringing so much happiness and joy throughout Anne's final days.
