We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Ann Semenoff on
January 23, 2023 at the Tudor Manor in Okotoks, Alberta.
Ann was our beloved Wife, Mother, Grandmother and Great
Grandmother.
Ann was born on May 28, 1930 in Langham, Saskatchewan to Pete
and Annie Bludoff. Ann grew up in Saskatchewan and the family later
moved to Canyon B.C. in the Creston Valley where they farmed. While
in B.C. Ann worked at the Creston Valley Packing House.
Ann and Alex were married at her parents’ home on February 15, 1957.
Ann and Alex moved to Pincher Creek, Alberta where Alex was a junior/
senior high school teacher at Matthew Haultain High School and Ann
was a homemaker. In November of that year their daughter Debbie
was born. Their son Ron was born in 1961.
The family moved to Calgary in 1965. Alex worked for the Rocky View
School Division and Ann took a cosmetology course at Jacobsen’s
School of Beauty and later worked for Sears as a salesclerk.
Ann loved working in her vegetable and flower gardens. She enjoyed
various needlecrafts, baking and loved to travel throughout Canada
and the U.S.A.
Ann loved her family and especially adored her grandchildren and
great grandchildren.
In 2008, Ann and Alex moved to the Tucker Hill area of Okotoks and
resided there for 11 years before moving to the Medicine Tree Manor
in High River in September, 2019. Due to failing health, Ann was
transferred to the Tudor Manor in Okotoks on February 16, 2021.
Ann is lovingly remembered by her husband Alex, daughter
Debbie (Pierre) Boucher, son Ron (Marie) Semenoff, Grandchildren,
Nathan (Lindsay) Boucher, Monica (Alan) Garner, Anthony Boucher,

Grandchildren, Mia Boucher, and John and Henry Boucher. Ann
was predeceased by her parents and siblings, Johnie Bludoff,

We would like to sincerely thank Dr. Joanna Fay and all the wonderful
staff at the Tudor Manor for all their kindness and compassionate care
for Ann during her stay.
