It is with a heavy heart that Lawrence ‘Larry’ Plante announces his beloved wife of 66 years, Anne Theresa Plante, passed away in Medicine Hat on Friday, January 6, 2023, at the age of 84 years. Along with Larry, Anne leaves to cherish her memory: son, Thomas (Wanda) Plante; daughter, Catherine (Geoffrey) Ringrose; grandchildren, Elliott (Chelsea) Plante, Mellissa Plante, and Casey (Meagan) Ringrose; great-grandchildren, Jack Graham, Nash and Colt Ringrose; sister-in-law, Louise Mallaghan and brother-in-law, Jack Gebert as well as numerous nieces and nephews whom she loved dearly. Anne was predeceased by her parents, Peter and Susan Mallaghan; brother, Patrick; sister, Mary and two bothers in infancy. Anne was born and raised in Regina, SK., attending Sacred Heart School and Scott Collegiate before obtaining her university degree from the University of Regina. She married the love of her life, Lawrence Francis Plante in 1957, at St. Peter’s Roman Catholic Church in Regina, becoming a stay at home wife and mother. Anne eventually was employed with the Government of Saskatchewan working in many departments and retiring from Consumer Affairs in 1991. They moved to Creston, B.C., then back to Medicine Hat, eventually settling in Chinook Village. Anne enjoyed travelling and visited many US states, most of Canada, Spain as well as Belfast, Ireland where she visited her father’s birthplace as well as the pub that her grandfather owned. She enjoyed bowling, golfing, watching the Saskatchewan Roughriders, shopping, reading murder mysteries, sewing and following the news. Anne lived life to the fullest and was looking forward to many happy years at Chinook Village. Those wishing to pay their respects may do so starting one hour prior to the service. The service will be celebrated at Cook Southland Funeral Chapel, 901 - 13 Street S.W., Medicine Hat on Friday, January 13, 2023, at 3:00 p.m. with Deacon Robert Risling celebrant.

Dearest Uncle Lawrence, Tom and Cathy,
We are heartbroken over the passing of our dear Aunt Andy. As Peter's Godmother, she has always been such an important part of his life and has remained a cherished friend. We will miss our Facetime calls several times a week and catching up on all of the family news and sports that she loved so much. Heaven is singing with a new angel in the choir.
Love Always,

Dear Uncle Lawrence, Tom, Cathy and families - please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of Aunty Anne. I have so many happy memories of time spent with you all at your home on Lorimer Cres with the rest of the Plante side of the family. One of the things I will always remember about Aunty Anne is her laugh which always makes me smile. Much love to you all.

Good Morning
Larry, mom was so very sad to hear of Anne's passing and shared the news with us this morning. Her comment to Juanita and I was "so many memories".
You, Anne, Arn and Lexi had so many fun times. Legendary stories of shenanigans that we heard through the years.
We wish you warmth, light and love in this difficult time.
Mom is hoping to reach out to you.
Be well, remember the best of it all.
Love from the Loverings
Sincerely,
Cynthia Lovering

Rest In Peace Aunt Andy Plante.
To say that 2023 is off to an eventful start is an understatement. After a very long and courageous health battle, one of my best friends, my aunt and my godmother decided to join her best friend in heaven (my mother). Pain no more. My Aunt Andy had approximately six heart attacks in an environment where she lost her cardiologist and could not find another one. I was very close to here, especially since my own mother passed 20 years ago. While spending five years in Regina, Denise and I had the opportunity to drive to Medicine Hat several times and spend wonderful times together with her and my Uncle Larry.
Unfortunately, you are hearing more and more about Canadian people leaving this earth prematurely in a reactionary health system.
Over the last week my aunt kept asking what to do. Although I gave her some thoughts, it would not happen. Andy was one of the major blessings in my life and still is. I know that my mother was patiently waiting for her, and now they are together with their brother, Pat as well as their mother. A total family reunited.
My heart aches, but at the same time, the sun is shining brightly.

Larry, I’m so sad to hear of Anne’s passing. I had the pleasure of doing her nails years ago; she was such an interesting person, and a strong woman. She was easy to please, and what a loss. May memories keep you going now.
