Obituary of Ann Florence Coulthard

Ann Florence Coulthard (Harvey) was born at East General Hospital, Toronto and died February 25, 2026 at Jessica’s House Hospice in Exeter. Ann is survived by her much-loved daughter Coralee Foster and her husband Dale, her two precious grandsons Darwin and his wife Jenna, and Alex and her beloved great grandson Hank. She was predeceased by her husband, Ron in 2022, her parents James Harvey in 1965 and Dorothea Harvey (Wicke) in 1981 and her sister Elga Nichol in 2011.

Mom moved many times as a young child but grew up in Kitchener and lived in the same house outside St. Marys for nearly 60 years.

Ann was devoted to her daughter, her grandsons and her great grandson, enjoying them and revelling in their accomplishments. Her happiest times were spent with her grandsons, helping to nurture them when they were younger and appreciating their company as adults. Her most recent role as Granny to her little great grandson brought her so much joy.

Friends were very important to Ann, who had a large number of friends, including many special, close friends from her years in the 1950’s in Kitchener. Ann loved to travel and as well as many Canadian destinations, she travelled extensively to many countries including favourites of China, Israel, Iceland, Great Britain and many others. One of her favourite events was a local hot air balloon ride over Kitchener with Ron. Ann and Ron and Coralee spent many happy summer holidays at Sauble Beach and more recently with Coralee and family at Berford Lake.

Anyone who knew Ann has been aware of her love of animals, especially her beloved pets through the years. Ann made friends with everyone’s dog or cat, who never forgot her and would joyously greet her whenever they would meet.
