LOVE: Ann Elena (Goble) of Zurich

Ann Elena Love passed away at Blue Water Rest Home, Zurich on Saturday, September 19, 2026 at the age of 80. She was predeceased by her beloved husband, Robert Love, and her brother Bill Goble. She will be deeply missed by her children, Sarah (Jason) Haist and Bob (Pauline) Love; her grandchildren, Kirk (Katie) Lenssen, Kyle Lenssen, Zach Lenssen, Elena (Brian) Thomson, Dillon Haist, Bryanna (Logan Finlayson), Drew Love, Ashley (Gary) Walser, Amanda Love and Erin (Jon) Bond; and her great-grandchildren, Reese, Logan, Sofia, Kali, Lincoln, Declan, Grayson, Aleah and Alexander. Ann will also be dearly missed by her longtime friend Barbara Woods and is remembered alongside Barbara’s late husband and Ann’s dear friend, Robin.

An avid reader with a lifelong love of children, Ann’s family was at the centre of her world. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren held a particularly special place in her heart. She shared a special bond with her great-granddaughter Reese, who lovingly called her “Nana Ann.” Reese’s journey was incredibly important to Ann, and she took great pride in celebrating every accomplishment and milestone alongside her.

Ann was the person you could always turn to when you needed to talk, vent, laugh or simply have someone listen. She loved her family fiercely and would defend them no matter what—even when they were probably in the wrong.

She will also be remembered for her quick wit and wonderfully smart-ass sense of humour. Perhaps it was her British personality, but Ann had a special talent for telling you exactly what she thought while remaining perfectly polite about it. She could have a conversation with just about anyone and was very difficult not to love.

One of the things her family will miss most is hearing her say, **“I love you more.”** It became a tradition to go back and forth, each person trying to say it last before hanging up the phone or saying goodbye.

This time, Nana, we’ll let you have the last word.
**We love you more.**

Donations to the Big Brothers Big Sisters South Huron would be appreciated.

To Ann Elena’s family. We knew Ann’s daughter and some of her family from when Zach and Kyle played hockey together with Steven and when Elena would come play together with Clairissa. May all Nana’s family find comfort in this time of great loss. So sorry.
