Anne Maria Kirkham (nee Stey)

Peacefully at Peterborough Regional Health Centre on Thursday morning, December 26, 2024 in her 77th year. Beloved of Robert Kirkham (2023). Loving mother of Donna Tousaw (Kevin) and, Jerry Vanderklaauw (Gail). Dear grandmother of Morgan Tousaw, Bradley, and Rachael Vanderklaauw. Anne will be greatly missed by brother Ron & sisters Willy and Marianne and Tonia. Fondly remembered by niece Jennifer and nephews Ronald, Danny, Jason, Derek and by her sister-in-law Lynn Kirkham and nieces Michelle and Barbara.

No simple string of words can sum up her life, her journey, or the impact left on those she touched along the way. She had such a beautiful way of rising, where others may have fallen. Such a love for life, and for all of those who had the privilege of being in hers. Her creativity was endless, and she took on so many forms of expressing this over the years. She so loved to laugh, have others around her, and was always there to pick us up. Mom definitely owned “the gift of gab.” Thank you for all of the love and lessons along the way. We will forever hear your laughter, find the good in the bad, and make the most of the least. May you dance again at last, fly high, but close. And I hope you finally hit that triple bingo.

"Forever, to the moon and back."
