Annie Edith Tracy, was born on the 29th of May, 1936 in Providence, Rhode Island to parents Claude and Stella Tracy. She passed away peacefully in her sleep on the 7th of July, 2025 at age 89.

The family would like to thank the staff at the University of Alberta hospital for their kindness and remarkable care of our mother, in her final days.

Annie lived a long and eventful life surrounded by family and friends. She especially loved her time with her twelve grandchildren, thirteen great grandchildren and a great, great grandchild. She is loved and missed by her brothers, nieces, nephews, cousins and many friends.

Annie was a big personality with boundless energy. She loved to garden and to show off her roses. She also loved to show off her gardening expertise by helping with the gardens of her friends. She was very creative and enjoyed designing clothing, sewing, knitting, needlework, sketching and painting. She got a group together to knit for charity, knitting caps for premature babies, “twiddle muffs” for Alzheimer patients and hundreds of “Izzy Dolls” for the military. She could “motivate” anyone to participate in the knitter’s group, including the maintenance man at her apartment building and a visually impaired friend, Miss Ruby.

Annie was predeceased by her children, Carla, Randy and Brian and by her sister Claudia. She is survived by her children Cheryl (Kevin), Karen (Bill), Carrie and Cindy (Kevin) and by her brothers Jake (Linda) and Rex (Ruth).

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the University Hospital Foundation, an organization she felt strongly about. https://givetouhf.ca/
