It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Annie Kot (née Ann Michelle Dombowsky) of Moose Jaw, Canada, who left this world peacefully on April 23, 2026, after a courageous year-long battle with a rare form of cancer. Annie was surrounded by her devoted family in her final moments, departing with grace, strength, and the quiet comfort of knowing she was deeply loved.
Annie’s life was a beautiful reflection of warmth, kindness, and genuine connection. She had a remarkable ability to brighten any room she entered, not through grand gestures, but through her radiant smile and sincere presence. Her laughter was contagious, her spirit uplifting, and her compassion unwavering. Whether through heartfelt conversations, shared humor, or simple everyday moments, Annie made people feel valued and seen.
She will be remembered not only for her strength during her illness, but for the joy she brought into the lives of others. Friends and colleagues alike will miss her lively personality, her playful humor, and the way she could turn even the most ordinary interaction into something meaningful. Her animated storytelling, especially her humorous takes on reality television, brought laughter to many. Her cheerful greetings and the way she made others feel special will never be forgotten.
Annie’s passing leaves a profound void in the hearts of those who knew her. She was a cherished daughter, family member, friend, and colleague whose presence enriched countless lives. Though the pain of her loss is deep, there is comfort in remembering that she is now at peace.
A Celebration of Annie’s Life will be held on Friday, May 8, 2026, at Hillcrest Apostolic Church in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, beginning at 1:00 p.m., followed by a luncheon. All who knew Annie are welcome to attend and honor her memory. For those unable to be present, the service will be livestreamed and recorded for later viewing.
As we remember Annie, we hold close the light she shared so freely with others. Her memory will continue to inspire kindness, laughter, and love in all who were fortunate enough to know her. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
