Anne Marie Hahn, of Hanover, passed away at Hanover and District Hospital on Saturday, January 31, 2026 in her 75th year.
Deeply loved and cherished by her daughter Alissa (Chad) Magwood and grandchildren Connor, Curtis and Cameron of Guelph, daughter Raechelle Devereaux and grandchildren Charles, Matthew and Emelia of Guelph and daughter Gillian Devereaux and grandchildren Lily, Brooklyn and Jacob of Garden Hill. Loved daughter of Mary Seifried of Harriston and dearly missed sister of Edward (Helen) Seifried, Frances (Robin) Best and Daniel (Angela) Seifried. Anne was predeceased by her father Matthew Seifried and her husband Edner.
Mom lived her wonderful life to the fullest and warmly welcomed others to share in it with her. If there was a minute left in the day, she wanted to fill it with a visit, a drive to see something remarkable, or an ice cream cone. Treasured memories include vacations on Manitoulin Island, time spent on the farm and in the bush having campfire lunches, camping, gardening, skiing, cycling and travel of all kinds – most notably to visit her grandchildren. Grandma never missed a baseball game, dance performance, 4H show, Christmas concert or any celebration in our lives. Mom adored her various pets over the years and loved our pets too. She set an example of the importance of learning and obtained her Bachelor of Art in Fine Arts and later in life, her Bachelor of Education. She took great pride in noting the achievements of her various students over the years.
Following her career as a teacher, she discovered her gift for missionary work serving in Uruguay, Senegal, Costa Rica, The Gambia, Ecuador and Peru with Samaritan’s Purse and Inspire Hope. 25 years ago, Mom launched Operation Christmas Child in Hanover which over the years has blessed thousands of children around the world with gift-filled shoeboxes and continues to this day.
Mom was an incredible example of faith, love, generosity, dedication and hard work to everyone she met.

She is lovingly remembered by her son Rob Norris and his wife Suzanne of Manitoulin Island, and her daughter Libby Norris of Mississauga.
