Tribute

Ann Catherine Murdoch
March 12, 1953 – April 15, 2025

After weeks of pain, Ann passed quietly in her sleep to the next realm, with the tender assistance of the Doctor’s and staff of Christine Morrison Hospice. As Ann had wished, her interment was a private event.

A Celebration of her Life and of her Passing will be held at a later date at which time sweet memories can be shared amongst all who knew her, and with her husband of 41 years Brian, and with family: Nathan (Rachel; Maisie, Piper and Norah); Joel and Lucy; Matthew (Kyla; Rowan and Gwen). She always wished her family and friends to remember her with joy, not with sorrow. Memories can also be shared in the meantime on the web site of Bakerview Crematorium and Funeral Home: bakerviewcrematorium.com

During her decline in health and her weeks in Hospice care, acknowledgement must be made of the support and prayers not only of her many friends, but of her siblings: sister Dawn and her husband Doug and their family in Kelowna; brother Phillip; and brother Glen and his wife Patty in Winnipeg.

With her husband Ann ran Murdoch’s Bookshoppe as an open store in downtown Mission from 1993 to 2013, and on then on the internet for a further 10 years. Her Faith, and her work within the Baha’i community of Mission, were central to all she did, and which informed her devotion to family. Her service to others included her various crafts, her work for the Downtown Business Association and involvement in the Renaissance Faire, her involvement with events at the Mission Museum and Archives, and her support of the Lifetime Learning Society.

Contributions in her honour can be made to your favourite charity.
