SPRATT : With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Annie Louise Spratt on Sept. 4, 2013. A loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother; family was the most important thing in her world and she will be missed by all of us. She loved to sing and sang with the Sweet Adelines and the St. George's Anglican Church Choir. Her passions were Bingo & Scrabble and she was an avid reader.
