Obituary

It is with terrible sadness, that the family of Ann Laing announce her passing on November 7, 2023 with her children at her side. Mom struggled with COPD for many years but still managed to have a good quality of life with Dad until he passed away in October of 2021. After that, her health declined quite a bit. Hugs and big thank you to Doug and Penny and Mom’s many friends for helping her out with errands, doctor’s appointments and grocery runs for the last year.

Mom grew up in Wilkie, and married Bob Laing from Gallivan. They raised three children: Barb, Doug and Conni. The family spent most of their years in Battleford where the kids went to school. Mom spent her career working in retail in the Battlefords including a few years as a massage therapist. Mom and Dad had a very active social life with many very good friends from the community. She absolutely loved our bi-annual Moon Reunions and visiting with extended family. For years, they were members of Club 70 Dance Club and that was the highlight of the month for them. Mom and Dad loved to travel and made quite a few trips to the United States including Yuma, Las Vegas, San Diego, Mesquite and a few other places.

They loved the winter they spent in Yuma a few years ago despite them missing Christmas with the their kids. Mom loved her children and grandchildren and so enjoyed their visits. She especially enjoyed getting to meet and visit both her great granddaughters Briar and Leni.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Mom’s memory can be forwarded to the BUH Foundation, P.O. Box 1358, North Battleford, SK, S9A 3L8. Arrangements have been entrusted to Eternal Memories Funeral Service and Crematorium – Trevor Watts Funeral Director.
