C. Ann Steinbach

December 23, 2023

On Saturday, December 23, 2023, C. Ann Steinbach (née Smith) of London, Ontario passed peacefully in her 84th year at the Dearness Home.

Beloved wife of the late Edgar Steinbach and cherished mom of Connie Steinbach of London, Ontario and Karen Steinbach and Clark Jones of Mississauga, Ontario.  Adored grandma of Selena Jones and Colin Jones.

Many nieces and nephews will remember Aunt Ann for the large and delicious family dinners she loved to host.

Ann was loved by all who knew her and was always willing to jump in where needed (church activities and council, condo social committee, etc.).  She was a good listener with an open mind and a loving heart who became the trusted confidant and wise adviser to many friends and family.  She will be greatly missed.
