Obituary of Anna Maria Rybak

Just two days after her 86th birthday, Anna Maria died surrounded by her family after a long and courageous battle with Huntington’s. She was so happy to be able to see her family on her birthday, after being kept separated by the COVID pandemic.

Predeceased by her beloved husband Peter and her eldest son Garry (Jill). Dearly loved mother of Dave (Maureen), Stephan (the late June), and her beloved daughter Sophie. Cherished Oma to Katrina (Mark), Natalie, Gregory (Sandra), Stephanie, Jessica, Christopher and Jordan. Cherished Great-Oma to Jaxson.

Anna Maria will be fondly remembered by her many friends, neighbours and caregivers.
