Lucy “Anne” Moreland, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully in her hometown of Wallaceburg, Ontario on December 6, 2024. Born on October 14, 1941. Anne was loved deeply by many and will live on through the many memories her family will hold close and share.
She is survived by her cherished children: Colleen (Dale) Aitken, Janet Barrett, Nancy (Lee) Foster. Anne’s legacy continues through her grandchildren Jennifer (Mike) Delrue, Tanya (Brent) Chatterton, Joel (Seneca) Barrett, Zachary (Elaine) Barrett, Owen Foster, and Emily Foster, her great-grandchildren Wesley Chatterton, Elizabeth Chatterton and Viola Barrett who brought immense joy to her life, and her brother Ralph (Linda) Belanger. Now she is reunited with her beloved husband Richard Moreland, her brother Gerald Belanger and parents Beulah & Dona Belanger. Anne is also survived by in-laws Gary Moreland, Sally Erison and Willard Gillis and many nieces, nephews and friends.
Family meant everything to Anne. She found profound joy in spending time with loved ones—whether it was holiday gatherings or simply enjoying sunny afternoons filled with food and laughter. Becoming a great-grandmother was undoubtedly the pinnacle of her life. She beamed with pride at the sight of her little ones.
As we gather together during this difficult time to honor a woman who gave so much love freely without reservation or condition—we are reminded that while she may no longer walk among us physically; the impact she made on our lives will forever remain etched in our hearts. Rest in peace dear Anne—you have left behind a beautiful legacy woven into each one of us who had the privilege of knowing you.
