Annette Louise Zahara, resident of Grande Prairie, passed away Friday, March 22, 2019, at the QEII Hospital in Grande Prairie, at the age of 71 years.

Anne was born in High Prairie, AB on August 1, 1947, and was raised in Grande Prairie. She enjoyed working with seniors at Heritage Lodge and Pioneer Lodge. She was voted by the family as having the best gingersnap cookies, and she never missed an episode of “The Young and The Restless”. She loved spending time with her great-grandchildren. She had a great sense of humour, and loved a challenge, especially with cards. She loved board games (her favourites were 31 and Frustration), puzzles, and crocheting.

She will be sadly missed by her sons: Jamie (Lisa), and Shane (Jennie); grandchildren: Kayla (Aubrey), Jessica (Scott), Corissa, Damon (Tiffany), and Tia; great-grandchildren: Nixon, Ember, Lucas, Cali, Milanna, Madalyn, and Maxton; sister Jackie O’Gorman; brothers Jim Toutant and Buddy (Kim) Toutant; as well as many nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by her husband Alex (Sandy) Zahara, father Garnet Toutant, mother Arlie Toutant, brother Morris Toutant, niece Deanna Toutant.
