Obituary: Margaret Anne Boscariol (nee Morrison)

It is with sadness we announce that Margaret Anne Boscariol (nee Morrison) passed away peacefully on May 30, 2022, with family by her side.  

Anne, "Babe" to family and old friends, was born on Sept. 30, 1932, in Squamish, B.C. 

Her father came to Squamish to work for the railroad, and her mother was a school teacher.  

Their family home still stands at the corner of Victoria Street and Fourth Avenue, across the street from the Squamish United Church.  

Anne was outgoing and fun-loving, and she and Willie loved to travel, making many trips over the years to Mexico, Maui, Vegas, Reno and Barbados.  

Many a family summer vacation was spent in Coeur d'Alene, Twin Lakes or Sandpoint, Idaho.  Anne was an excellent bowler and had many trophies to show for it.  She loved bingo and going to the casino to play the slot machines.

She was a very generous person, and her home was always open to family and friends.  

Her five grandchildren learned to swim in their backyard swimming pool, and all have happy memories of the many days spent by (or in) the pool, followed by hamburgers, potato salad and corn on the cob at Nana and Papa's house.  

Anne is predeceased by her husband William ("Willie"), parents Katherine and David Morrison, sister Ruth, brother Dave ("Sonny") and daughter Tami.  

Anne is survived by her daughters Lori (Jim) and Gina (Curt), grandchildren Wesley, Michael, Jodie (Andrew), Andrew (Raelene) and Stuart (Vannessa), great-granddaughters Hazel and Joanie and many nieces and nephews.  

Anne will be greatly missed by her family and many friends.  We are very grateful to the staff of Shannon Falls Retirement Residence and VCH for their support and assistance, which allowed Mom to stay at Shannon Falls after Dad passed away.  

Special thanks to Dr. Bull and the wonderful nurses at Sea to Sky Hospice for their excellent care of Mom.  

In lieu of flowers, donations to Sea to Sky Hospice Society would be greatly appreciated.
