Mrs. Annette Culos

1925 – 2011

Annette Culos passed away on December 18, 2011. Lovingly missed by her high school sweetheart and husband Peter of 60 years, daughter Debbie and son Donald. Remembered by her brothers Peter and Fred Carotenuto, sister-in-law Flora (Robert) Dickinson, nephews Mike (Adrian) Carotenuto, David (Jill) Dickenson, nieces Clara and Karen Carotenuto and Kathy (Charles) Curtis and their families.

Annette Loved life and shone in the spotlight. She was a loving wife, mother, daughter, sister and aunt. She doted over and supported her family in all their endeavors. Annette was a gracious hostess at her husband’s conferences across major cities in Canada and the U.S.A. She remembered everyone. Annette always gave of herself and asked for little.

After living in Toronto and Modesto for 10 years, Annette and Peter moved to West Vancouver and built their home in which they have lived for the last 46 years.

At home Annette enjoyed her garden, cooking and playing bridge. She excelled at all of them. Annette was a strong supporter of St. Anthony’s school and parish, was a member of the metropolitan Opera Guild, and a strong supporter of Project Advance since its inception.

Her smile, caring and warmth will be greatly missed
