In Memory Of

Anne Marie Troupe, age 80, of Kalispell

December 7, 1937 – September 13, 2018

On September 13, 2018, Anne, 80, passed away while surrounded by her loving family.

Born in Boston, MA, on December 7, 1937.  Anne became the second child of Anna and William H. Kane.

Anne’s family moved to San Diego in 1952 where she enrolled herself into Our Lady Of Peace Academy. She built many friendships during school and was always hamming it up in any school production and singing in Glee club. Anne was an excellent student and a friend to everybody she met.

In 1957, Anne studied nursing with the Sisters of Mercy at Mercy Hospital. She loved nursing and had a passion for assisting in the operating room and “catching babies” in the delivery room.

In 1962, Anne met and fell in love with Claude (Ray) Troupe.  They were married on June 20, 1964. In 1971, Anne and Ray moved to Kalispell, MT where they raised their family.

Anne loved her nursing job at Glacier Ear Nose and Throat and at the Surgical Center. She would always sing to her patients! Anne was an avid sports fan. She spent hours watching her children and grandchildren participate in sports. She loved geography, history, coin collecting, singing, and was the reigning Scrabble champion.  Anne loved to cook and was known as an incredible chef and hostess.  She was particularly proud of her Irish heritage and brought a smile to everybody she met with her hilarious jokes and witty humor.

Anne was preceded in death by her parents, Anna and William Kane and her daughter Debra Hawks.  She is survived by her adoring husband, Ray, and children Terri (Bob) Temple, Denise Frankino, Chris (Jennifer) Troupe, Suzanne Troupe and Daniel Troupe, Grandchildren: Anna Richards, Jenna Frankino, Katie Merit, Laura Weber, James Temple, Tucker and Saeyde Troupe, Joey and Jami Jantski, Ridge, Cade and Sawyer Troupe, Peyton Richards and Sara Nelson as well as her brother, William H. Kane of San Diego, CA.

    Ray, Terri, Denise, Suzie, Chris and Daniel –

    We are so sorry to hear of Anne’s passing. We loved your mom like she was our own and have such fond memories of the times spent in Kalispell with you all. Those years were some of the best times and we are thankful for the memories. We can only imagine that heaven is a bit brighter and funnier and we know that our dad, mom and sister were so happy to see Annie! Our love and prayers to you all.
    Love, Patty & Mike McCarty

    Anna was so sweet and funny at the same time! She took wonderful care of me for my many years of allergy shots at GlacierENT! A special hug to Suzanne—miss you, too!

    Gone from us that smiling face, The cheerful pleasant ways,
    The heart that won so many friends in Bygone Happy days,

    A life made beautiful by kindly deeds a helping hand for
    others needs, To a beautiful life comes a happy end, She
    died as She lived, Everyones Friend.

    I worked with Anne at Glacier Ear, Nose & Throat for about 7 years. She always had a smile on her face and always knew how to make you laugh! Patients loved her as did the entire staff! She always was bragging about her family and was so proud of you all! She will be remembered always with fondness and will be greatly missed but I am sure there is a special place in heaven for her!

    “It is hard to forget someone who gave you so much to remember”.
    I was lucky to work along side Anne for 15 wonderful years. She was an excellent nurse who was kind and caring to everyone; her energy and humor made every day a joy to be at work. But most of all she was a true and genuine friend who was always there for me and gave me so many great memories. What fun times we had!
    No one, especially me, will ever forget Anne; the world is a sadder place without her.
    My heart goes out to all the family. You were such a big part of my life. Please take care.
    Love, Diane
