Ann Marie Reiswig
d. February 13, 2019
Ann Reiswig (nee Latusek) passed away peacefully on February 13, at 77 years of age.
Ann was raised in a large extended loving family in the Bay Area in California and learned to love music, the outdoors, baseball and fast cars. A National Merit Scholar, she was a dedicated academic yet still listed her ambition in her high school yearbook as seeing a World Series in
San Francisco.
In the early 1960s, she worked at Berkeley, where she met and married marine biologist Henry Reiswig with whom she shared many wonderful beach-going adventures, including a year at a very rustic marine lab in Jamaica.
The devoted and beloved mother of three children -- Jennifer, Penelope and Amy - Ann saw them safely through many Montreal winters and summer camping and cross-country road trips. Of deeply curious mind, she shared her love of everything from poetry to astronomy. Often teased for saying "I read it in an article," her love of learning, knowledge and the wonders of the world were passed on to her kids (who went on to enjoy sharing with her the things they read in articles too).
Ann moved to Saanichton in 1996 with her mother and truly loved her new island life. She would often take "the long way home" in order to sneak more trees and beaches into ordinary errands. As one of her friends recently wrote, "Annie never lost her magic."
Ann combined her love of music with her Catholic faith, serving as church organist at several periods in her life until arthritis overcame her fingers.
Ann was predeceased by her parents Sophie and Stanley, her brother Peter and numerous relatives.
The family sends heartfelt thanks to the staff at Saanich Peninsula Hospital for their kind and gentle care.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to support the Mount Newton Centre, mountnewtoncentre.org
