OBITUARY ANNE FISH (nee JOHNSON) Peacefully, at home with her family in her seventy-second year after a long, very courageous battle with cancer. Beloved wife of Colin Irving, mother of Cynthia and Douglas Fish, grandmother of Paule and Joseph Harvey and sister of Robert Johnson. Much loved also by her stepchildren Caroline, Andrew and Gillian Irving and their children. She will be sadly missed as well by her many friends. Throughout her first career as a social worker and her second as a very talented artist her primary professional interest was in child welfare. With that interest particularly in mind, she served a term as Chairman and was for many years a member of the Board of Directors of Tyndale-St. Georges community centre, an organization founded by the Johnson family in the 1920's working with disadvantaged families in Little Burgundy. In lieu of flowers, contributions to the Tyndale-St. Georges Foundation would be most welcome. The family wishes to thank Dr. Krista Lawlor of the Palliative Care Unit of the Montreal General Hospital for her exceptional kindness and thoughtfulness. The funeral will be held at the Church of St. Columba, 4020 Hingston Ave. (corner NDG Avenue and Hingston) on Thursday September 13, 2007, at 3 p.m. Reception to follow. Published in the Montreal Gazette from 9/11/2007 - 9/12/2007 FISH (née Johnson), Anne Entourée de sa famille et en toute quiétude, Anne Fish est décédée le lundi 10 septembre, à son domicile. Elle était âgée de 71 ans et avait mené une longue et courageuse lutte contre le cancer. Conjointe bien-aimée de Colin Irving, elle laisse également dans le deuil ses enfants Cynthia et Douglas et leurs conjoints, ses petits-enfants Paule et Joseph Harvey, son frère Robert Johnson, ses belles-filles Caroline et Gillian, son beau-fils Andrew, leurs enfants ainsi que de nombreux parents et amis. Travailleuse sociale et artiste engagée, Anne Fish a longtemps siégé au Conseil d'administration du Centre communautaire Tyndale St-Georges, un organisme fondé par la famille Johnson qui vient en aide depuis 1927 à la population du quartier Petite-Bourgogne . Souhaitant honorer son engagement auprès des enfants issus de milieux défavorisés, la famille suggère un don à la Fondation-Tyndale St-Georges au lieu de fleurs. La famille tient particulièrement à remercier la docteure Krysta Lawler, de l'unité de soins palliatifs de l'Hôpital général de Montréal, pour sa gentillesse et ses bons soins. Les funérailles auront lieu en l'église Saint Columba, 4020, avenue Hingston, le jeudi 13 septembre à 15 heures et seront suivies d'une réception. Paru le 2007/09/12 dans La Presse KACT2522
