NYKANEN (Lehtonen), Anja – With grieving hearts we announce the passing of Anja Nykanen at Bluewater Health on Sunday, September 6, 2015 at the age of 86. Wife of the late Veikko Nykanen. Dearly loved mother of Alma (late Denis) Lozier and Alan Lee. Cherished grandmother of Andrew (Stacey) Lozier and Laura (Rick) Nemeth. Treasured great-grandmother of Danielle and Kyla Nemeth. Predeceased by brothers Leo, Albert and sister-in-law Marcelle Lehtonen. Mom had been a part of the special Springmarsh "family" for the last 6 years and mere words cannot express our thanks to Glen and Julia Marsh who became true angels on earth by giving Mom and her family such wonderful care. We are blessed that Mom received such friendship in a loving home environment. Thank you also to Dr. Ian Campbell and Vicky and Patty for the many years of care and concern. Mom's stay in Palliative Care at Bluewater Health was short but the family extends sincere appreciation to Dr. Crombeen and nurses Danielle and Carolyn for their compassionate care.
