At the age of 98, after a battle with dementia, it is with sadness that we announce the passing of Anna MacEwen Moreside on Sunday, December 24, 2023. Born in Stanley Bridge, PE, on April 20, 1925, she was a daughter of Ernest and Euphemia MacEwen. She met and fell in love with her late husband, Lloyd Blaine Moreside (May 7, 1933-Dec 14, 2000) and they got married on November 16, 1963. Predeceased by her brothers, George and Walter; and sister, Vivian (Rennehan). Survived by daughters, Kathy Moreside and Karen Nieuwhof (Marten); grandchildren, Nicolle and Jason; brothe,r Sutherland; sister-in-law Shirley, (Moreside) Young and brother-in-law, Floyd Moreside; and many nieces and nephews. Anna was a Corporal in the Army for WWII (April 1944-July 1946). She did her Basic Training #3 C.W.A.C. in Kitchener, ON then worked for the Department of National Defense: Glebe Barracks #1, Ottawa ON (which she referred to as ‘The Battle of Ottawa’). She was an office secretary that typed telegrams of injured and dead and researched whereabouts of missing soldiers. On her return to PEI, Anna attended Prince of Wales and subsequently worked at the H. L. Sear Insurance office until she married and started her family and became a professional stay-at-home mom. Anna was very involved with her church family at Central Christian Church in Charlottetown. She was an active member of her beloved Akita Club, Sunday School teacher, VBS worker, committee member, and Deaconess. Anna was always helping by donating food (well known for her ham sandwiches, fudge squares and scotch cookies), and being ‘the driver’. The family would like to acknowledge, with deep appreciation, the many expressions of love, concern and kindness during Mom’s battle with Dementia and during this time of sorrow. Many thanks to the staff of Atlantic Baptist Nursing Home for their wonderful care and compassion. Resting at MacLean Funeral Home Swan Chapel. Visitation Thursday at Central Christian Church from 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. No funeral by personal request. Interment later in Floral Hills Memorial Gardens.
