Syme, Anne Taylor On January 23, 2014, Anne Taylor Syme died peacefully at the Ottawa Queensway Carleton Hospital with her family by her side. She was 103 and lived alone at her home until the last 3 weeks. Beloved wife of the late Thomas Syme, loving mother of Douglas Syme and the late Rev. Robert Syme. Dear mother-in-law of Elspeth Syme and the late Rev. Ruth Syme. Much loved grandmother of Jocelyn (Bruce), Scott (Carolyn), Geoff (Cecilia), Jennifer (Dale), Alison (Marty), Chris (Melissa), Hilary (Craig), Matthew (Elizabeth) and Peter. She is also survived by many great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. She was born in Hartney Manitoba and spent most of her adult life in Montreal and St. Lambert. She went back to work when she was 46 as a part owner and Director of Taylor Evans furniture manufacturer in Montreal where she retired at the age of 69. She was very active in the Daughters of the Nile temple in Montreal raising money for the Shriners Hospitals (www.shrinershospitalsforchildren.org). She was Queen of her Temple in 1972. Her most lasting legacy will be the affect she had on her grandchildren and in particular she was a role model for her granddaughters.
