Ann Wethers

The family of Ann Wethers of Oakville is saddened to announce her passing on April 19, 2026. Ann passed peacefully after a courageous journey with cancer, with her son, daughter and niece by her side. Her dear friends, Roma and Jean, remained faithfully with her until the end.

Ann was born in Glasgow, Scotland, on December 10, 1935. She was predeceased by her loving parents, James and Isabella (‘Isa’) Findlay, her sister Irene, and her brother-in-law, Larry. She will be deeply missed by her daughter, Ruth [Paul], and son Grant [Julie], her cherished grandchildren, Chelsea, Chloe, Ried and Isabella, and nieces Kim and Bev. Ann’s four-legged grand dogs Vikki, Lincoln, and Zama will also miss her many treats and cuddles.

In her early years, Ann and Irene were raised by Isa while their father served during the Second World War. Joyfully their father returned home when it was over. At the outbreak of war Ann was evacuated to Rothesay on the Isle of Bute, where she met her future husband (Morrison) while attending primary school. She eventually returned to Glasgow to enjoy the rest of her youth. Ann often reminisced about those early years spent with close family and friends, especially the many weekends she and her sister spent dancing the night away at the “Barrowland”.

On June 16, 1956, she married Morrison Lorimar Wethers, and they began their life together in Glasgow before immigrating to Toronto in 1961, and then settling in Brampton in 1972 to raise their family.

Ann worked at the Bank of Montreal before dedicating herself fully to raising her children. Later, she returned to the workforce and applied her passion for sewing. A talented seamstress, she created countless skating costumes and elegant garments for special occasions for her daughter.

She was a devoted and enthusiastic supporter of her children’s activities, especially her son’s motocross racing. Ann remained close to her sister throughout her life, and she treasured their family holidays together, occasionally spent camping and visiting the east coast. There, they had many good times clam digging, scallop cooking, relaxing on the beach, and gathering around the campfire.

Ann’s home was always warm and welcoming. Her conversations were filled with laughter and kindness. Her family will fondly remember her delicious cooking, especially her clootie dumplings, fritters, meatballs, curry chicken, muffins, and her cheese and pineapple appetizers. She would set a beautiful dinner table right down to the hand made butter curls and was fondly nick named 'Queen of the Scramble Eggs' for good reason!

She had a deep love for animals, a passion which she passed on to her children. Over the years, her home was shared with dogs, cats, turtles, goldfish, a ferret, and even a hamster -despite her fear of mice.

She remained a devoted and loving daughter caring for her mother, Isa, throughout her life. She never stopped missing her father and kept his memory alive for her children and grandchildren.

Following her retirement, Ann moved to OSRC in Oakville. Her later years were filled with joy, especially 2009 when all four grandchildren were born in the same year. She loved and adored her grand kids and was immensely proud of their accomplishments. In her final days, she treasured having all her family together, and completely surprised them all when she discovered a hidden talent for origami!

In keeping with Ann and Morrison’s wishes, Ann was laid to rest beside Morrison in a private ceremony at Glendale Cemetery in Etobicoke.

In lieu of flowers or donations, the family requests you consider an act of kindness in Ann's memory.
