Elizabeth Preston Obituary
Elizabeth Ann Preston (Ann)
October 3, 1934 - October 18, 2023
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Elizabeth Ann Preston (Ann) at Lions Gate Hospital. Ann passed quietly in the early morning of October 18, 2023.
She was born in Vancouver alongside her twin brother, Grayer Robert Perkins, on October 3, 1934, to Joe and Betty (Speirs) Perkins. Raised in Brantford, Ontario, she graduated from the University of Toronto and returned to Vancouver, where she met her husband Meredith and embarked on a career of raising her three children. In turn, she was a highly active participant in the local sporting community. In the summer months, you could be sure to find her most weekdays/weekends on the North Shore Winter Club tennis courts, switching to the curling sheets and throwing precision rocks for successful teams during the winter.
Predeceased by her husband, William Meredith (Merdie) Preston. She is survived by her three children, David (Sharon), Sandy (Larry), and Greg; her loving grandchildren, Michael, Nichole (Dan), Wesley (Kacey), and Lindsay (Derek); along with what she often claimed to be her brightest lights, her great-grandchildren, Finley/Carter (Michael), Charlie/Oliver (Nichole and Dan), Lucas/Wyatt (Wesley and Kacey). She will be missed but never forgotten.
The family would like to give thanks to all her caregivers for their support in recent years.
