Annie Rita Fricker

Born in Aspy Bay, Victoria County, on November 10, 1931, she was the daughter of the late Alexander and Madeline (Fraser/MacNeil) MacIsaac.

Mom was a woman of deep faith and a devoted Catholic. She was a homemaker who raised ten children and loved all of them deeply along with her grandchildren. Mom loved to garden, she loved walking; listening to any kind of music; doing for others, and especially loved reading her bible. She loved to talk about the ‘old times’ and her loving grandmother; her life in Aspy Bay and all of her family and friends.

She was a beloved mother to Ben (Julie), Shirley, Isabel (Terry) Carter, Andrew (Maxine), Cathy (Steve), Susan (David) Dowling, Mike (Bruce), Rosemary (Willard) Bonnar, Art (Angie) and daughter-in-law Gail; grandmother to Brennan, Erin, Kieran, Christian, Stephanie, Leon, Joey, Alex, Terrance, Rebecca, Joshua, Annie, Mitchell, Dylan, Jeremiah, Amanda, Crystal, Chris, Aysha; great grandmother to Chlara and Lucas; sisters-in-law Mildred and Mary; siblings Tina MacPherson, Jessie MacPherson, Florence MacDonald, John, Donald (Bunny) Susie. She will also be deeply missed by her roommate Sonya, whom she referred to as ‘Tonya’ and she was ‘Anna Banana’.

Along with her parents, she is predeceased by her son Ted, twin sons Joseph and Edward, grandson Benjamen, siblings Mary, Margaret, Jim, Randly, Edward and twins Ronald and Joseph, Leo Theodore Fricker (the father of her children) as well as her son-in-law Garry Tomiuk.
