August 8th, 1937 – July 21st, 2023

Beloved wife of the late Kenneth Nolin Robb (2018). Much

loved mother of Kathy Taylor (Al) of Kitchener, ON and Major

Ronald Busch of Petawawa, ON. Daughter of the late Hans and

Ellen Nelson of Sault Ste. Marie, ON. Daughter-in-law of the

late Howard and Edna Robb of Sault Ste. Marie, ON. Dear

Sister of the late Earl Nelson (Judy) of Milton, ON, and the late

Stanley Nelson. Beloved stepmother of the late Kenneth Robb

Jr (Cathy) of Hamilton, ON. Dear step-grandmother of Megan

Robb & Nicole Starrett (Richard), and great stepgrandmother of

Fern Sonaria Starrett. Dear Aunt of Elizabeth Scott, and Sarah

Dugg (Mike).

Ann-Elies was born and raised in Sault Ste. Marie, ON. She

attended Cody Public School and Technical & Commercial High

School. Ann-Elies and Ken moved to Kitchener in 2002 to be

closer to family.

Ann-Elies had a vibrant social life. She enjoyed hiking, aquafit

and golfing. She was an active member of the St. Mark’s

Lutheran Church, becoming a member of Stephen Ministry and

performing home communion, and then becoming a member of

Trillium Lutheran Church. She also volunteered in the day

surgery at the GRH for many years.

Her family and friends were always priority in her life. So many

circles of friends from her church, her apartment building, her

walking group and many others she met along the way. She

remembered birthdays, was always ready to listen and check in

on a friend. She had a very giving heart.

She had a wonderful sense of humour and a cheeky smile.

Always up for an adventure and never missed an opportunity to

socialize.

The last few years, her cat, Percy brought her a lot of joy and

companionship. She also loved her grand-dogs, a feeling greatly

reciprocated.

She will be missed by so many; she made a difference in

everyone’s life she touched.

Cremation has taken place. Plans regarding a Celebration of

Life will happen in the future.

To celebrate & honor her life, donations to the Trillium Lutheran

Church (Waterloo) or Save Me Dog Rescue are requested by the

family. To leave an online message of condolence, please visit www.westmountfuneralchapel.com
