On September 11, 2025, Anne Boucher (née Basigin) passed away peacefully at home.
Born in Struan, Saskatchewan, Anne bravely left home to join the Royal Canadian Air Force at age 19. Her service took her to France, where she met her future husband, George. Together, they built a family and lived in cities across Canada before settling in Ottawa in 1973.
Anne was a woman of quiet strength and boundless generosity. She supported her children, Carol (Georges Sarazin), Debbie (Patrick Adams), and Randy, in every endeavour, and loved to spoil her grandchildren, Nicholas, Kelly, David, Daniel, and Lisa, with homemade baking and thoughtful gifts. Her great-grandchildren, Anna, Carter, Nora, and Aria, brought her endless smiles.
Anne was predeceased by her beloved husband of 62 years, George, and son-in-law, Georges.
Known for her knitting, Anne’s signature mittens warmed the hands and hearts of friends, family, and staff at her retirement home. She enjoyed a long, healthy life surrounded by those who adored her. Anne will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
The family would like to thank the dedicated staff at Symphony Senior Living in Orleans, including Brenda, Heather, Danielle, and Lucie, for the care they provided Anne. A private family interment will be held at the National Military Cemetery of the Canadian Forces.
