It is with broken hearts that we, the family announce the passing of our dear mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, ‘Memaw’ and sister, Ann Lamson, age 71, on Thursday, January 11, 2024, in the Palliative Care Unit at the Cape Breton Hospital, Sydney.
Born on January 25, 1952, in Sydney, Ann was a daughter of the late Robert and Eileen (Cuff) Lamson.
In her younger days, Ann worked at the Maple Leaf restaurant then the Cove Guest Home. After meeting her former husband, Allan, Ann moved to Newfoundland, had her pride and joy, Cathy, where they lived for several years before moving back to Cape Breton in the early 80’s. Upon returning, Ann continued working at the Cove Guest Home until her retirement.
In her spare time, Ann enjoyed going to bingo, playing cards, listening to country music and making ceramics. Above everything, her greatest joy was spending time with her family, especially her great-granddaughter, Sophie.
Ann is survived by her loving daughter, Cathy Roston (Arno); precious granddaughters, Alyssa (Dylan), Jenna (Jarret) and Chloe (Cameron); step-grandson, Jonathan (Alissa); great-granddaughter, Sophie; step great-granddaughter, Meadow and soon to be great-granddaughter. Callie. Ann is also survived by her brothers, Donnie (Shirley) and Wayne; sisters, Kathy, Debbie, and Delores (Alex); sister-in-law, Chris; as well as many nieces and nephews.
