Ann ROBBIE Obituary

I was thinking Of saying goodbye, but instead see you later Ann!

Farwell Ann, I was sorry to read of your passing.
My condolences to your family.
I 1st met Ann through Green prescription, you made me feel welcome and nothing was a bother.
We met again through Sport Southland.
I will always remember you as a friendly, welcoming lady. RIP.

Our sincere sympathy to you Peter and family .. Ann was an inspiration to many people- our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very sad time .. RIP Ann - Helen and Terry O´Meara

Our condolences go out to you Peter & your family on the tragic loss of a very special, talented and caring person. Ann played the bagpipes at our wedding 43 years ago in Christchurch as she knew how much I loved the sound of them. It was very appropriate also as I married into the McDonald clan. My husband David has Scottish heritage on both sides of his family. Ann´s father and my father, Lloyd Walker were brothers. You can be proud that Ann´s life, though relatively short, was well lived, making a huge mark on everyone around her. Our thoughts & prayers are with you all.

To Peter and Family. I wish to express my deepest Sympathy

So very very sorry to hear of the passing of Ann who was an extraordinary advocate for the many areas of her life she was passionate about. Ann's energy and ready smile will always be remembered.

Thinking of you all.

Ann has carved her place in history because she cared enough to ensure that others who had made the sacrifice were remembered. Ann's energy and and determination ensured whatever she turned her hand to was the best effort and outcome for others, a selfless legacy to all. Rest knowing that you have helped others remember those whose sacrifice was for all.

So sorry to hear of Ann's passing. Her contribution to piping, ANZAC Day, Relay for Life, War Memorials et al was outstanding, and worthy of the QSM that she was awarded last year. Condolences to all the family.

Roy and I were so sad to read of Ann's passing. She was such an energetic woman and so involved with her many interests. We knew Ann through the Southland Sports' Car Club and her First Aid. She will be sorely missed. Our thoughts are with you Peter and your family.

Sincere condolences on the loss of a most remarkable lady. As a green prescription mentor at Sports Southland she was an incredible encourager providing positive and practical advice. She will be sorely missed.

Hello there Robbie family, just a note from an x pipe band member of Wai and Invers, and knew Wee Annie through association. Was at her place of work 6 months approx ago and had a good catch up on all things pipe bands, and plants, the next call asked where was Annie Walker and the lady said she had some health issues. and now we have to say goodbye, see you later, this is not the end you know........but very sad to hear the news, bestest wishes to you all.

An amazing women whose passion for ensuring we remember and honour the past will now be her legacy. I feel honoured to have worked alongside her. Condolences to her friends and family xx

Our thoughts go with you all in this time of loss.

So sorry to hear. I wish I could hear her bag pipes one last time. It was a true pleasure to count Ann as a friend. Her laugh and smile could brighten the coldest room, her energy and determination was an inspiration to all. When many thought that the McKenzie War Memorial would be little more than a ghost hunt, resulting in a few rocks (maybe) Ann never gave up and the tears of happiness she shed will always remain a special memory. My Condolences to the family.

Sooo Soo Sad Anne was a real Trooper and fought to the end, Anne helped me with plants for our five acre new build home and design of our landscape i now look at my plants and trees and think of Anne you are going to be missed so much by family and friends. Anne is not gone but in our thoughts everyday

Such sad news! I have loved seeing Ann in the media, watching the amazing things she has been doing. I worked with Ann around 20 years ago at the Red Cross (First Aid Courses), she was so lovely to work with, so much fun with a great sense of humour and caring personality. RIP Ann xx

Such a loss to Peter and family but also to the community that Ann was deeply engaged in. Straight as an arrow and solid as a rock.
Sadly missed.

my condolences to everyone. when I was living and working in Southland I always enjoyed having time with Ann. Her humor, energy, skill, knowledge and passion added to meetings, community events and projects. Her memorial project has been incredibly valuable for so many communities and I hope the mahi is continued.

Ann was an inspirational, energetic, tough, and very kind lady with a wonderful sense of humour. Condolences to all who knew her.

Ann's wicked sense of humour, infectious smile and mischievous eyes will remain with me always. Condolences to Ann's family.
