Maslow (Lange), Anne Gertraude – of Lake Echo, was a woman of strong faith in God, JHWH, and was looking forward to dancing with Jesus and I can comfortably say she slipped into his presence peacefully on Monday, April 10, 2023 at the age of 84.
She was born in Munster/Westfallen Germany to the late Albert Karl and Frieda Lange.
She was predeceased by her husband, Lil Maslow; brothers, Wolfgang and Conrad; and sisters, Uta and Helga.
Surviving are her sons, Daniel (Lisa), Ontario; their children, Emma and Erin; Jonathan (Jackie), Texas; their children, AlexaJo, Kaelah, Isabelle, and Zachary; and great-grandchildren, Asher, Aubrey-Anne, CJ, and one on the way.
Anne immigrated to Toronto in 1957 to help her brother, Wolfgang with his growing family. She returned to Germany for 2 years to study nursing at her brother's insistence. After graduating, she returned in 1961 to continue helping her brother and started working in several Toronto Hospitals.
She married Lil Maslow in 1963 and then after starting a family of her own in Toronto moved to Lake Echo in 1977. As a nurse, she continued to help people until she retired from the Birches Nursing Home in 2003.
She lived a life of thankfulness, enjoying many simple walks on Lawrencetown and Conrad's beach, she loved the ocean. Anne and Lil loved to explore their own backyard and would tell of their many finds around Nova Scotia from the beaches, winding roads, and Bed and Breakfast they would stay at.
As any that knew from talking to Anne, she lived a life of peace and grace in the service of others. She humbly acknowledged life’s blessings and persevered through the difficulties in her life, including the loss of her husband. Anne loved nothing more than visits with her family and friends, blessing those that came. Anne's love of Israel and the people of God could be noticed from the moment you walked through the door.
As the family opens up the many cards from Anne's stay in the hospital, the incredible amount of sentiment about the lives she affected is overwhelming. Her simple trust in her Savior the Lord Jesus Christ and the peace she drew from that spilled out to those that she came in contact. She touched so many people in her gentle way, and the family wishes to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers while she was in the hospital.
The family would like to thank Dartmouth General Hospital 4th-floor staff for their attention and care. She told anyone that came to visit or called her of the excellent care she was receiving and was always so thankful to everyone that helped her.
A graveside service will be held on Friday, May 5th at 1 p.m., in Lawerencetown Cemetery, 3765 Lawrencetown Road, Highway 207, Lawrencetown. A small reception will follow the service, friends, and family are welcome to gather at Seaforth Hall, 6060 NS-207, Seaforth from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
