Beloved wife of the late Nicholas Blom. She leaves an incredible legacy. Dearly loved mother of Elizabeth Moir of Seaforth, Willy Groothuis of Kitchener, Mary and Mark Vandyk of Cambridge, Rita Savauge and John Hackett of Cambridge, and Annette and Ron Hak of Kitchener. Her cherished 15 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren will miss her welcoming smile, hugs and kisses along with the ever-present Dutch tarts, lemon cake, meatball soup and ginger ale. Her kind-hearted nature and loving support will be held close in their memories. \u00a0Annie is also survived by her sister Cora Jeppesen, two brothers-in-law, and one sister-in-law. She will be sadly missed by her nieces and nephews who fondly referred to her as the matriarch of the family. Annie was a member of St. James Catholic Church and the CWL in Seaforth. She took great pride in taking care of the flower beds at the church as well as volunteering at the Seaforth Manor.<\/span><br \/>\nVisitation will be held at McGlynn Family Funeral Home, 87 Goderich St. W., Seaforth, on Wednesday, from 2 until 4 and 7 to 9 PM.
