AnnaMarie Spooner

A precious limb has fallen from our family tree. On August 12, 2022 our healthy and beloved wife and amazing mother suffered a massive stroke leaving her paralyzed on her right side while Aphasia silenced her multilingual skills as well as her beautiful singing voice. After a two year effort to recover AnnaMarie suffered a second stroke that took her from us.

She is now most certainly singing in God’s Choir of Angels.

AnnaMarie is survived by her husband of 57 years Roy Spooner, and is mother to Christopher (Jaelyn) and Tanya, and Grama to Reese, Tony and Elowyn. She is survived by sister Clara (Jack) and brother Tony. She was predeceased by her parents, Anton and Anna Waldvogel

AnnaMarie’s family immigrated from Switzerland to Prince George in 1957 where she graduated from Prince George High School. She was employed by the Village of South Fort George as Deputy Village Clerk prior to amalgamation with Prince George. AnnaMarie joined the Royal Bank in 1979 and after retiring from RBC joined Integris Credit Union until a second retirement. She was a hard worker and active volunteer and with a passion for helping people.

AnnaMarie was deeply engaged in community life and was almost always involved in community projects too numerous to mention here.

AnnaMarie was most happy when she was working in her garden especially her roses surrounded by wildflowers with a deer sleeping in the meadow.

Her great joy in life is her two wonderful children. As she often said, “they are our legacy.”
