BURROWS, Ann - 77, of Napanee, Ont. passed away on May 21, quietly in her lifelong home surrounded by loving friends. Ann will be fondly remembered as a kind-hearted, gentle soul by all who knew her and will be sorely missed by her family of three cats, Sarah, Oscar and Jake, and by her niece Carolyn McGill (Mike), of Toronto. Ann graduated from nursing school in Peterborough and had a long career as a caring and dedicated nurse. She worked at Sick Kids Hospital, Lennox and Addington General Hospital, Belleville General and most recently at Hotel Dieu in Kingston. Ann and a group of volunteers together founded Hospice Lennox and Addington. She was the organization’s first president as it began its work from her home in 1990. Ann’s father, Ironeus Grant Burrows, died when she was a child. Ann lived in the family home with her mother Helen (Allan) Burrows, with whom she was especially close and was pre-deceased by her mom and by her three older sisters, Marjorie Duncan, Marion McGill and Nadine Burrows and by her brothers-in-law Bob McGill and Thomas Duncan. They were a tight-knit family and she was the last of their generation. Ann was a fun-loving spirit and had a special fondness for Nova Scotia and the Bay of Fundy. She will be remembered and missed by her nieces in the Annapolis Valley, Lynn, Laurie, Leslie, Lisa and Lisbeth and their families. Ann enjoyed animals of all shapes and sizes including the birds at her feeder and the many cats she cared for over the years – Kai, Misty, Callie, Jiggs and Tiger.
