STE. MARIE: Anne Louise (Thomson) of Seaforth

Passed away at Huronview Home for the Aged, Clinton on Sunday, November 23, 2025 at the age of 87. Beloved wife of the late Robert Ste. Marie. Loving mother of David Ste. Marie, Vicki Hillier (Carl), Betsy Bakker (Lorne), Jennifer Ste. Marie, and Peter Ste. Marie (Christine). Cherished grandmother to Craig, Lydia, Danica, Lisa, and Steven, and proud great-grandmother to Sierra, Mason, Florence, and the late Porter.

Anne will be deeply missed by her brother David Thomson (Dianne); sister-in-laws Marlene Foxton, Thelma Ignor, and Shirley Ste. Marie; and by her many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by her parents Beverly and Jean Thomson; siblings Donald, and Patricia; brother-in-laws and sister-in-laws Doreen and Joe Dirksing, Audrey and Jack Hobden, Ron and Moira Ste. Marie, Lenard Ste. Marie, Nora and Ken Redmond, Earl and Mary Ste. Marie, Erwin Ste. Marie, Bob Foxton, and Mike Ignor.

Anne was proud to serve as a Registered Nursing Assistant at the Seaforth Community Hospital, where she dedicated herself to caring for families and members of the community. Her kindness, steady presence, and love for those around her will be remembered always.

The family is especially grateful to Monica and Hugh Ives and family for their exceptional care and devotion. Monica was more than a friend to Anne, she was like a daughter, and her daughters held a special place in Anne’s heart. The family also wishes to extend heartfelt thanks to the entire staff at Huronview for their dedication, compassion, and exceptional care.

Keeping with Anne’s wishes cremation has taken place.

Condolence from Cousin Mike & Katie on November 24th, 2025 1:04 PM

Dear Cousins, we are so sorry to hear about your mom’s passing. We enjoyed quite a good conversation with her at Uncle Earl’s funeral. We reminisced with David at dad’s funeral last year and appreciated the long distance hugs from Betsy. Only last week did we try to navigate the Seaforth construction on our way to Goderich and reminisced greatly about the family and reunions on the farm around the swimming pool. Sending lots of love and many hugs your way! Michael & Katie

To the Ste Marie family, My deepest condolences on the loss of your Mom. Our families had a unique relationship since we took over the family farm from Anne. It was a very special place.
My sister in law Pam Gordon had a very close relationship with Anne, she was an amazing role model to her. It sounds like she played that role for many.
