In loving memory of Matilda "Anne" Calow, who fell asleep for the last time in the arms of her eldest son, Adam, at their family home on 19th April 2021. She leaves behind her husband, Glen, who she'd been married to for 53 years.

Anne was a truly wonderful person. Kind, loyal, selfless and generous. She never ran out of conversation and could find out the life story of a stranger before the bus even arrived.

One of thirteen siblings, she lived for family; a value which she has encouraged in her own children. Anne was a loving and devoted Mother to her three Sons and Daughter: Adam, Neil, Mark and Niki. She also delighted in her role as Nanny to her six Grandchildren, whom she considered a true gift: Her legacy on this Earth.

Whilst Anne enjoyed many pastimes, from playing cards to writing poetry, the simplest pleasures of all she took from all around her. The flowers and trees, to the sounds of the birds. She loved nature and always felt content being able to sit with the sun on her face and simply watch the world go by. She adored the water and was always happiest by a lake or sea - never missing the opportunity for a boat trip!

Anne was a beautiful soul and will be truly missed by all of those who were fortunate enough to know her.

***

Her funeral will be held on Friday 21st May 2021 at 11am. Regretfully, due to Covid restrictions we have to limit the number of guests who can directly attend. However, the service will be streamed for anyone who may wish to pay their last respects. Please visit: https://www.obitus.com/ and use the following login details:

Although mum loved flowers, she always felt that the money spent on funeral flowers could do more good helping others. So we are asking those who wish to, to contribute to a charity that mum held dear to her heart - the RNLI Lifeboats.

Thank you to all those who have held mum and those she has left behind, in your thoughts. Your kind words and memories have brought us comfort at this sad time.

We love you mum.
Sleep well xx

Fond memories of Anne over so many years from when I was just little. I’ll never forget the wonderful trip she arranged to the Isle of Wight for Uncle Doug when we all had such a fun time.
My heartfelt thoughts to Glen, Adam, Neil, Mark, Niki and the grandchildren.

I have fond memories of Auntie Anne from childhood and in growing up. Always smiling and welcoming and enjoyed listening to her chatter about her family, who were without doubt her whole world. My heart goes out to Uncle Glen, Adam, Neil, Mark, Nikki and all her much loved Grandchildren. Thinking of you all. Rest peacefully Auntie Anne xxx

We have many wonderful memories of our friendship with Anne over the last 59 years. She always made us so welcome and always managed to organize visits from the children and grandchildren while we there. We also enjoyed our holidays with Anne and Glen.
All our thoughts are with Glen and the family at this time.

It is so sad the older I get to keep losing the elder members of our wonderful big family, but so much harder for Uncle Glen, Adam, Neil, Mark and Niki to have lost their wife and mother, and also the Grandchildren Auntie Anne so adored and delighted in having. Thinking of all of you xx
