McKAY,
Ann
Mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, world traveller, singer,
conversationalist, humorist. Born August 17, 1907, in Aberdeen,
Scotland. Died February 5 in Toronto of old age, aged 100.
By Georgina
ABELA and Nellemarie
HYDE,

Ann
Urquhart
Davies Clyne
McKAY lived for 50 years in Aberdeen
and 50 years in Toronto.
Early life wasn't easy for Ann, known as Annie. Her mother, Mary
CLYNE, lost her leg at 4 when she was run over by a horse and
cart, yet she managed to raise Annie and her two sisters (a third
sister died at eight months old.) Hugh
URQUHART,
Annie's father,
was a Gordon Highlander who fought in the Boer War.
Annie married Frank
McKAY in her teens and gave birth to four
children: Nan, Francis, Hugh and Ronald. Sadly, she was widowed
at the age of 47. Two years later, she and Ronald immigrated
to Canada.
Those first years in Toronto were difficult for Annie and Ron,
having no job skills or family nearby. Annie moved between jobs,
then was delighted to be hired by Connaught Laboratories, where
she remained a devoted employee, sterilizing lab equipment, until
her retirement.
Motivated by a strong desire to visit her son Francis in New
Zealand, Annie babysat in the evenings for extra money to pay
the fare. She was forever grateful to the travel agent who advised
her to go by ship from San Francisco on a world cruise, calling
in at all the exotic places she never thought she would see.
She got off the ship at one port in Japan, travelled with a fellow
passenger the length of the country by train and caught up with
the boat at another port. While staying several months with her
son and his family, Annie worked in a dress shop to help finance
more travel in New Zealand. One of the highlights of her trip
was joining a much younger group of people to walk the arduous
Milford Track.
Annie loved singing old Scottish songs and hymns. She was quick-witted
and funny, and always lightened the mood. Who could forget her
description of bathing without a bathtub in Scotland: "First
you wash down as far as possible, then you wash up as far as
possible, and then you wash possible."
Although she wasn't happy about compulsory retirement, Annie
travelled when she could, returning twice to New Zealand, to
Scotland many times, and
to Florida every year. She had 13 grandchildren
and 14 great-grandchildren.
Annie loved to walk through her neighbourhood. In her 80s, while
out on her daily walk, she was hit by a car. With both legs and
her pelvis broken, the prognosis wasn't good. The doctors didn't
think she would survive surgery, and didn't operate for three
days. But survive she did, and lived to travel more, to Scotland,
London, Paris and Daytona Beach, Florida Despite several small
strokes in her 90s, Annie celebrated her 100th birthday surrounded
by family and Friends.
Georgina ABELA and Nellemarie
HYDE are Annie's cousins.
