Mrs. Annie Mae Crowe of the Kiwanis Nursing Home, formerly of New Line, passed away at her residence on January 21, 2007 at the age of 81. Born in Chipman, on May 3, 1925, she was the daughter of the late James and Georgina (Boudreau) Reynolds and was the wife of the late Harry D. Crowe who passed away in 1994. Annie is survived by three daughters: Grace Green and her husband Bill of Quispamsis, Mary Snider and her husband David of Loch Lomond and Linda Pinches and her husband Arthur of Scarborough, Ontario; three grandchildren: Gary Snider and his wife Ellen of Rothesay, Heather Snider of Halifax and Kimberley Aerts and her husband Kim of Prospect, NS; four great grandchildren: Nathaniel Snider, Annameika Aerts, Daniel and Jacob Snider; as well as several nieces and nephews. Annie was predeceased by four brothers: John, James, William and Frank and by her sister, Grace Phillips. Annie was a member of St. John's United Church. She was always there to lend a helping hand to friends and family. She enjoyed social events and Church suppers and could always be counted on to bring some of her baking. She was known for her lemon and cherry breads and war cake. What I remember most are the donuts she would cook on a Friday afternoon, they would be fresh out of the pan as I got off the school bus. Nothing was better than a hot sugary doughnut and a glass of milk on a cold winter day; that and the smell of fresh baked bread with chicken stew on the stove. She always had a pot of tea on the stove just in case someone was to drop in. She and Dad loved to play cards in the evening and some of the neighbours would drop in for a quick hand or two.

Her hobbies were: gardening, cooking, sewing and quilting, cooking special cakes at Christmas for each of us and knitting for her grandchildren and their children. Her enjoyment came from her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She loved to knit mitts for the kids and always made a string to prevent them from loosing them. Of course she would always knit an extra pair just in case. I think all of us either have socks or mitts that were knitted by her at some stage of our life. The one thing is that this knitting could not happen on a Sunday. Mom was always worried about appearances and made sure that when we girls left the house we looked neat and tidy. She always said to make sure that we had on clean underwear just in case we were in an accident. She also enjoyed trips to our house for Christmas and Christmas dinners when all were present. She enjoyed watching others open their gifts and often had to be reminded to open her own gifts. She loved watching the grandkids with their toys and gifts. She and Dad enjoyed a drive in the evening in the country and the drive would be made more special when they would see deer grazing in the fields. Any trip outside Sussex boundaries warranted a packed lunch and a thermos of tea just in case. Mom also prided herself in having a well kept lawn and flower gardens during the summer. She enjoyed starting some of these plants from scratch in their greenhouse. One funny thing that I remember about the greenhouse was when she asked me what one of the plants were, they didn
