Anne was born at home in Swan River, MB, on February 29, 1920, the middle child to George and Margaret Elviss. Anne started her working career in Swan River working for Eli Cox and Son in the dry goods. She left Swan River and headed east to Toronto where she began her career with T.E. Eaton. She worked in Toronto for a few years and then headed back to Winnipeg where she remained. Anne worked for over 40 years with the T.E. Eaton Company in the Fashion Fabrics Department. She was a true Etonian. After her retirement she was very active with the Eaton Retiree Group for many years. Anne remained in her own home until December 2007 but because of declining health it was decided it was time to move and she moved into Vista Park Lodge. The family would like to thank the staff at Vista Park Lodge for all your care and genuine compassion while looking after Auntie Anne. A special thank you to Shirley Hudson & Brian Fedak for all your help when she was still at home. All of you are true angels.
