Peacefully on Thursday August 23, 2012 Anne passed away in her sleep at Tall Pines Nursing Home in Brampton Ontario after a brief illness. Beloved wife of Arthur McIntosh (1991) and first husband Michael Sysko (1963). Anne will be deeply missed by her children Michael Sysko and Leonard McIntosh, Sister Mary Iles, brother in law Jack Iles (2002), Brother Bill Hawryluck (1982), sister in law Suzanne Hawryluck, Brother Stan Hawryluck and sister in law Edith Hawryluck. Daughters in law Susan Sysko and Lisa McIntosh and grandchildren Elizabeth and Sydney McIntosh. Anne will also be missed by her remaining beloved family and many close friends.
Mom will always be remembered for her love of a bright hot sunny day to spend time at her apartment’s pool in Montreal with her friends and she often talked fondly of the events they attended at the Ladies Auxiliary at the Royal Canadian Legion. Shopping for clothes was also a passion. Mom had a creative gift in sewing, making cloths and was an amazing cook which she loved talking to Susan about and sharing recipes. Later at Tall Pines Mom’s artistic side flourished in arts and crafts and especially painting which she enjoyed and also loved spending time in the gardens at Tall Pines.
Special thanks to the doctors and staff at Brampton Civic Hospital and especially all of the staff at Tall Pines for making Mom feel at home with their many activities especially dancing, trips and compassionate and dedicated care.
Mom you are sadly missed in our lives however you will never be forgotten as your memory will continue to live in all of our hearts. Love Michael and Leonard.

Michael & Leonard, sincerest condolences to you both and your families. Your mother was a wonderful person who worked around any and all of life’s issues that came around. I will always remember and continue to admire the way she didn’t hesitate to keep learning and always seeing the positive in life. I am also very appreciative of the help she gave to my mother. She’s my hero and I will miss her.
