Anna ROBICHEAU

ROBICHEAU, Anna Mae We are sad to announce the passing of our loving mother and grandmother at the Pembroke Regional Hospital on Tuesday, September 6, 2011 after a long and hard-fought battle with cancer, in her 53rd year. Anna Robicheau (nee Challoner) of Pembroke, daughter of the late Estella Mae and Norman Challoner. She leaves behind her loving ex-husband Robert Robicheau; sons Nicholas (Melody) & Christopher (Samantha); and daughter Tenille Wilson (Dustin). She also leaves behind her loving grandchildren Colette, Kennedy, Caleb & Kaden Robicheau; and Faith, Payton, Clayton & Nathan Wilson; along with her dear friend Brian Evans and many other family members. Anna was born November 19, 1958 in a small town in Nova Scotia. She married at the age of 16 in 1975. Following the birth of her two oldest children, she soon found herself as a military wife. One of their postings took them to Lahr, Germany where her second son was born. Military life is a hard life, but Mom always found a way to be happy. She made friends easily and was always the life of the party. The military life made it hard to stay connected with family, but she always found a way. After moving to Pembroke, Mom worked at Robin's Donuts for many years; then she moved on to Walmart, where she made many friends. We'd like to thank Mom's dear friend Cathy, who has been with her throughout her battle with cancer. Mom would have been lost without you. Cremation has taken place, and a Memorial Service will be held in the Chapel of the MALCOLM, DEAVITT & BINHAMMER FUNERAL HOME, 141 Renfrew St., Pembroke on Saturday, September 10, 2011 at 2 p.m. Interment of Ashes in Yarmouth, NS at a later date. (In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated.) Online condolences and donations are available at www.malcolmanddeavitt.com.
